To train for FIG vaults in 2018 you need spend most of your time vaulting uphill. Iarov recommends flipping only once a week. The rest of the time is used for preparation: sprint, hurdle, preflight.
Taiso Saskatoon built an ideal platform in 2014.
Head Coach Markos Baikas loves this set-up.
Decades ago Manjak and I ordered just such a vault landing table though ours was a giant block of foam. 🙂
Within weeks it was moved into the pit. ☹️ … We were back to stacking a dozen mats.
