This is just a curiosity question really.. when you see a gymnast on instagram/youtube/etc that is doing a yurchenko full or 1.5 into a pit (and they are just learning the vault), how close is that to landing a vault onto a mat? You know the ones where they say "Got my 1.5 today!!" but it's into a pit that just seems much different than a normal landing..
My daughter's gym doesn't have a vault pit (they do have a trainer into a pit, but she doesn't like twisting off it apparently). It just made me wonder about the difference between learning a harder vault without a pit and with one. It's definitely not been easy for her..
