spotting Tsuk with a belt

Even if you have a pit, it’s not a bad idea to introduce the “flip” this way.

The first time I saw this done was in the 1970s. Crazy coach Dave Copeland asked me to be second spotter on the belt (a pair of blue jeans). It was at an outdoor summer camp. No pit. We RAN alongside the gymnast, spotting on the actual vault horse. Surprisingly, it worked well.

evolution of Men’s Vault

Everyone agrees that what’s happened in the past few Codes is dangerous and stupid. FIG provides every incentive for men to chuck the hardest stunts they might possible land — and somehow land on their feet.

Also, the landing mats are insufficient for this level of skill. We need something much more like the FIG Doublemini landing mats.

YES a few of the most talented can land consistently and relatively safely, but not many.
