Nastia’s Bars

What I loved about Nastia’s Bars, back in the era where 10 skills were counted, was the variety of elements.

Flyaway to Flat Back

BEFORE we let kids flip, it’s essential that they understand well how to move the centre of gravity AWAY from the Bar at the point of release.

Some call it “pitching out” the centre of gravity.

Flyaway not Flyclose.

straight front leg on Round-off Hurdle

Personally, I’ve had a lot of success over the decades introducing the aerial phase of the Round-off hurdle with the front leg quite straight.

NEXT I work on a deep lunge before the Round-off.

And finally combine the two segments.

I know Chinese coaches and many others who prefer a bent front leg in the hurdle — and it works for them. My fear is that lifting the knee is backward rotation, and it may limit my ultimate forward rotation.

Here Tammy Biggs emphasizes the straight leg.
