On a “roll out” skill on Floor.
It’s hard to watch. But the video is here. (1min 15s)

trampoline ‘spring’ boards for Vault
I’ve never been much of a fan of trampoline takeoffs for Vault — they encourage too high preflight — but the older boys at Black Hills Gymnastics told me they LOVE their variation.

Incredible talent, synchronicity and showmanship.
That was the highlight of the day’s competition for me.
