Update – I’ve had a few people very interested in this G-value release.
Mary-Anne Monckton from Australia can do both the Shushanova release (straddled) and the variation I’m calling the Monckton, piked.
Click PLAY or watch her Bars on YouTube.
She was 3rd all around at Australian Championships this year.
One of the girls in Iceland had started training the similar Markelov release. But within a few turns she could do progressions from “Blind Change” just as easily. … Perhaps even more easily as the blind change helps initiate the “side vault”.
No spotting is necessary for the Monckton. You can leave a mat covering the bar on the side of the rail where the feet cross.
