These video clips are from our practice focusing on Arch technique and control!

Video #1 - Step 6 is slightly steep but OK; 7 comes across nicely onto the J. A very good circular turn and Lean all the way into the bar - a very smooth, effortless looking approach. Slightly off-vertical release, but good "dimmer switch" as you get to full arch only at the top of the parabola! Frame with your head mid-upright is still rising; next frame is fully arched at the top with shoulders and knees at the same height; next frame you've held your arch with shoulders now just below your knees; next frame you see the "break" of the arch begin...

Video #2 - This jump you rotate even one frame farther - Excellent "D1" skill here! I don't see any sign of the break/kick until your hair is actually touching the landing pit. This one has much more POP than the prior jump, and if anything the arch onset could be delayed even more (slower dimmer) to allow more rise time. Rise time to get to the full-height potential of the parabola is the main thing between you and 5-10 / 6-0 IMO!

Video #3 - Ooops! Too close & under. Go frame-by-frame side-by-side with the prior clip which had a great approach. Here step 7 comes across too hard and so 7-8-9 are not as circular as in the prior clip. Prior clip has step 9 right on the craossbar shadow, while here you're a good 6 to 8 inches inside the shadow and heading more steeply into the crossbar. Classic contrast showing the cause & effect of the non-circular turn!

Video #4 - Still a less circular turn and "deep 9", but this time you chop 10 and jump anyway. Vertical rise and great held arch past the "falling reflex" point, but the jump is just too narrow, straight up & straight down, to avoid a bar strike in the kick... Still, no room to execute the jump goes all the way back to circular turn and the proper placement of step 7!

Video #5 - Way, WAY to close at takeoff here! Probably a result of no spacing at the bar, but see how the arm or upper back bar strike occurs while your hips are definitely still rising? Again, you want to stay "Above" - shoulders above hips and rising - before you begin to "turn the dimmer switch."
