I saw a thread about this in the past asking about deductions for form but I have a few more questions to expand if you will indulge me. My DD is finishing up level 3 and we hope will be invited to train level 4 in the spring. The one thing that I worry will hold her back is the vault.
My DD...
Yes, I said it.
A few yeas ago, I posted a video of my ds vaulting as a new level 6. I just wanted to understand how vault was judged, so it made more sense to me. My kid has always struggled with vault, slow run, not powerful etc. Dunno predicted that eventually he would come into his own...
Hi Chalk Bucket friends! I was hoping experienced parents, gymnasts, coaches, judges would take a look at my DDs lvl 6 vault. This was at their practice meet with no scores given. All they did was tell you who came in 1st place (which she did not). I understand you can't really see the...
I was just wondering what is the FIG vault value for a senior competing a tsuk pike vs. a yurchenko pike? Tsuk layout vs. yurchenko layout? Thanks in advance.
In Xcel, girls can vault on the "lowest manufactured setting." This rule is given with the disclaimer that not all vaults will go as low as 95. I have 2 girls (both small and slow runners) who are struggling with vault. Currently they are on 100 and I'm thinking about relenting and letting them...
So to start, I do know you have to compete a skill you made up -for example, "The Biles"- at a national level for it to be considered a real "skill." But how would you do that on vault?
Let's say in a few years, when more and more people do front handspring landing on the springboard, then...
Earlier this year, there was a thread discussing changes to the L7 Vault for the 2017-2018 competition season. Is this definitely happening, and have any details regarding the allowed vaults come out yet?
Ok, so I knew the men did harder vaults than the women, but I didn't realize they were INSANE! Wow. The vaults they are doing are nuts. handspring triple front?! full twisting double tsuk? So cool to watch! I'm glad no one got hurt.
This may be completely obvious to most of you, but I am confused. I know Biles is moving on to the Vault Finals. And, I know that to do so, she competed two vaults (from two different vault categories) during qualifications.
What I don't understand is why Raisman, Hernandez and Douglas did...
