MAG Vault, an update, Dunno was right

[sce]

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. I held onto hope that someone so experienced was right. Then this weekend, I saw it happen. 2 years ago I could not imagine he would be doing flipping vaults by this time. It's not perfect but he's only been landing on hard mat, vs. a mat in the pit, for a few weeks. He placed 3rd, above kids who have been optionals for years.

YAY! Isn't that exciting? I love when they finally come into it and get it!

How cool to see the difference between the years. Confidence shows!!

 

[NY Dad]

Wow! Like a different person.

Huge difference, even just in the run. Congrats to him...his hard work is paying off.

Yay for him! I think for some kids, they really only get the "run hard" thing when they start training a flipping vault and realize that there's no way they will ever flip unless they generate the momentum through the run. I have a similar pair of videos of my new L9 guy, whose tsuk of death over the summer is finally getting there.

He looks GREAT.

That is AWESOME!!!!

Awesome! My son struggled with vault also for a couple years and last year started doing really well. Once his vault got better he continued to improve.

 

[triplethreat+1]

Awesome. And, seriously, in only two years?! Incredible improvement. Looks like he's packed on some muscle too

I look forward to Dunno's response to this....

And you weren't surprised that Dunno was right, were you??? Time and patience and faith in your kid from many - that's what it takes!!!

Congrats to an awesome vaulter.
