narrow Yurchenko hand mat

I’m a big fan of narrow hand mats for beginners. They should place their hands as much as possible like tumbling for as long as possible.

Click PLAY or watch it on YouTube.

Eventually – when strong and fast enough – they will (most likely) “overturn” their hands which requires the FIG width hand mat.

That’s one piece of the Shannon Miller Collection.

MyKayla Skinner is amazing

Arianna Robinson – Handspring Handspring Front

Watching 12 Yurchenko fulls made for a dull dual meet in the past. I feel devaluing that vault to 9.95 maximum has worked. There’s more incentive for other vaults. Like this one. 🙂
