Handspring ➙ Salto vaults with Flyspring Technique

This is one of the best Handspring forward salto half vaults I’ve ever seen

Click PLAY or watch it on Twitter.

Not the most common technique, Haleigh uses what my mentor Boris called “Flyspring” technique. First contact on the table with hips piked. She OPENS her hips while in contact to increase reaction force.

This technique works best for very fast, very powerful gymnasts. They tend to take off closer to the back of the Board and contact the front of the Table. GOAL = get the hands on the table as quickly as possible.

Kasamatsu progressions

Note — this vault is easiest for gymnasts who do all salto twists in the direction of the hand placed 1st on the floor on Round-off.

For example, if the gymnast twists saltos to the right, easiest is that they also put the right hand down first on Cartwheel and Round-off. A left twist.

Kasamatsu is 1/4 twist in one direction, 3/4 twist in the opposite direction. More difficult is Tsukahara with 1/1 twist which is 1/2 twist in one direction, 1/1 twist in the same direction.

Head coaches should be checking on twist direction when it’s being taught to beginners at their Club.
