Video #1 - This is an incorrect approach. Step 6 is WAY to steep (far away from the bar) so step 7 continues in the 1-6 line, then
8-9-10 are in a perfectly straight line toward the center of the bar, with NO Lean, and you still takeoff very far from the bar, just inside
the seam to the second mat away from the bar on our approach surface. The jump just plows right through the bar because of the incorrect
approach - little chance to make this one. Video #2 - Same incorrect approach on this one, although you do a GREAT job of still somehow converting the speed into vertical POP! This would be a very high jump with a correct approach. We should have noticed and corrected the approach flaw in practice and I'm sure you would have jumped better... NICE arch but just crossing diagonal due to the too-steep approach. Video #3 - This one is kind of between the first two clips. Still too steep of an approach and reaching to get there on steps 8-9-10. The conversion to vertical is better than #1, not as good as #2... Video #4 - OK, maybe we did recognize and try to fix the flawed approach. I see on this one that your step 6 is moved in to the middle of the 4-step tape markers on the approach, instead of farther away than ALL of them like on the previous 3 clips. As a result you get closer to the bar with a little more of a circular "J" and the peak of your jump is centered over the bar. Looking at this clip I still want to move you in to a true 45 degrees on your step 6 and see how that looks... |
