Defying Gravity – part 4/6

You need YouTube Premium to watch the episodes 3-6.

My favourite episode of the first four.

I love seeing Grace and Jade in the Gym. Best interviews I’ve seen, so far.

Vault is the featured apparatus. They did not hold back on the terrible truth that competition landings on this event are very, very dangerous. Ellie Black and others were interviewed on injuries.

I don’t understand why FIG has never tried to improve vault landing mats.

It’s named for Hidenobu Yonekura.

Over the past 12 months.

Gymnasts should train more twists than the plan to compete — safely.

The human body is not a stick. It’s more like a ruler.

These simple examples are useful for biomechanics analysis. Contact angles, etc.

trampoline Spring Boards

I’m now completely won over to these devices. Even for Yurchenko.

Air-O-Board is still my favourite as it seems to most closely resemble the competition Board.

The AAI version is allowed in USAG Excel competitions.

In Netherlands some call them “plankolines“.
