Gymnastics Vault Guide: Part 1

[bunker9603]

all i can say is...O...M...G

[polevixen0213]

is this the Canadian code of Points?

[dccarlos15]

3:10 to 3:16 Wow O____O Someone should try that now!

[FlicTuckFull]

Tsuks are so undervalues it's ridiculous.

[MyXLastXTango]

Alicia Sacamone is training a front handspring vault with a double twist. Someone said it's 6.6 difficulty, but it's not in the video

[itstheapocalypse]

@MyXLastXTango I heard it was 6.7 difficulty. No clue if that's true, though.

[ASPaez1965]

Are you using the 2009 code of points

[lovelollipopper]

im so scared to do this is my gymnastics....

[MrPokemonmaster0009]

are these the same code of points for 2011

[bunbacheso]

Why is a tucked tsukahara worth less than a handspring tuck?

[strongbad635]

I really want to see a female gymnast perform the Produnova vault sometime soon. I think there are atheletes out there who are capable of producing enough power to do it. And it would certainly be an ace in the hole for ANY team to have a 7.1 SV vault.

[CassidyMcComb2010]

@strongbad635

Yamilet Pena did it at the 2011 worlds

[Nike45BK]

I do all of them over my table in class. ;)

[Simba85]

I really wish more gymnasts were performing the Zamo today, it would add a bit of variety instead of the compulsory double yurchenko. I know its tougher but not that much more.

[tedsler]

As always, your montages are excellent !!!

[bbhouk1]

@kuddygymnast12

i don't think anyone has done it since produnova

unless it was a guy

[kiwigymnast16]

YES MY VAULT IS A 2.40! lol :D

[Logansbl]

Does anyone know what is the most difficult vault ever done?

[Elemarth]

@Logansbl By far, the Produnova/double front tuck, which I've heard no woman has ever done - one attempted it, not including that girl in Stick It - since her. (The men do double flips all the time, though.)

But judging from how many more points are earned with each additional half twist, I think the Yurchenko triple twist will be rated as more difficult when somebody finally performs it.

[Xayah]

@kuddygymnast12 the curly hair...the powerful gymnastics...the grim soviet competition face...the consitent losing of mind during competition...my God! You know how they used to say that soviets impregnated female athletes to keep their bodies in optimal condition...anyone know if lyssenko had an illegitemate daughter around 1993ish? XP

[sk8rchick176]

yamashita had sum wackyy hair! plus this video is posed to be how to, hint "how to"

[GyMnaddict]

Is the handspring double front a different value for men? I've always seen it as a 6.6.

[hartlj90]

I love that 2.32 Handspring Straight Front Salto with full twist ... I wish more of them would do it !

[hartlj90]

I love that 2.32 Handspring Straight Front Salto with full twist ... I wish more of them would do it !

[kiwigymnast16]

hey the first one's my level 5 vault!!!!! lol i've seen some level 5 gymnasts who perform it better!

[SAX713]

WHAT ABOUT MARY LOU RETTON?

[TwisterFlipp95]

I'm pretty sure Galina Tyryk and Lisa Mason were doing Arabian style vaults, not 1/2's. I don't think that you can find a tucked on but if you want a tsuk 1/2 layed out look for Gina Gogean in the 96 olympics event final; her second vault.

[gymnasticluvr12]

bravo!!!

[itstheapocalypse]

What music did you use here?

[liccitree123]

are the start values shown here just for national level? Are they the same for all competitions?Because i've scored a 13.15 on a handspring which is a 2.40 on your video

[13shifter]

@liccitree123 wel what level are you in? if you are compulsary then you can score higher because it is a mandatory vault

[xsmile007]

Just wondering, but what exactly is the difference between a front handspring and a Yamashita? Why is one more difficult than the other?

[MostepanovaFan]

With the Yamashita you pike your body and then re-extend it before landing, whereas the handspring remains extended for the whole of the vault. The Yamashita is more difficult, but not by much.

[DreamNbelieveGYMNAST]

@xsmile007 a fronthandspring vs a yamashita ... handspring is like complete straight body the whole time... yamashita through post entrance to table. you pike at hips then restraighten body .. thennnn land you visibly see a "straighten..pike..straighten.­."

[rhiyanzZzZ]

@xsmile007 front handspring is a straight position that u can try easy-ly and the yamashita is a pike position that is a conflict than handspring xD

[ApolytonGP]

hecht vaults?

[YURIJOCO]

MMM I LOVE THIS VAULTS

[gymdom]

in the new code.. men have different SV's or no?

[bruadair11]

Such a cool video thatnk you for this!

[Stella1love]

how about handspring layout double twist. its called the chusovitina, and its in the named skills montage

[mistybabe5489]

the 1 and a half is named after chuso. nobody on the women's side has done a double.

[Stella1love]

look in the famous gymnastics montage, Named Skills- Gymnastics!! she does a double!!!

[MostepanovaFan]

The skill she is shown performing in that montage is a full twist, not a double. The piked Handspring full is also named after her. The handspring double is not in the code because no woman has performed it in competition yet.

[starzdiver98]

what is this song? its beautiful

[MsGymnast77]

is Nastia in this?

[MaebySurelyBarely]

Why would Nastia be in this? She performs a Yurchenko vault, and this part of the video is clearly handsprings. If you want to see Nastia, wouldn't you go to a bars guide?

[DJT113]

u forgot handspring full on tuck front off... How much is tht worth?

im guessin about 5.2?

[keli59]

:30 look difficult!!! I mean just 4.00??

[Yangyun4ever]

Has anyone competed the tsukahara 2 1/2 i know its in the code with a pretty hight SV of a 6.7.

[macassar88]

@Yangyun4ever I think it was only performed by zamo

[burstinatrix1]

this is kinda like parkour but gymnastics style

[silivas4ever]

Wasn't Yang Yun's vault actually a layout Cuervo vault? Seems like the half twist comes too early in the flight for it to be a Barani?! I wonder why the layout Cuervo isn't in the code of points..?! Layout Khorkina 1 as well (RO half on, 1/2 to back layout)...didn't Raducan and Moya used to do it..or am I just too confused to figure out this half twist issue...

[Yangyun4ever]

I thought Yangs vault was a Cuervo too? Hmm.........

[houdiinii]

Whats the name of the song in the beginning? Its so beautiful!

[sexygal17]

Your guides are great. You own Mostepanovafan. Ownershippage.  xoStephy :P

[DJT113]

wht is the name of the song?

[joaopumper]

produnova's vault is incredible.

[gotflips]

Cool but what about yurchenkos?

[MostepanovaFan]

This is part 1. Yurchenkos are in part 2

[apluskel]

excellent! very well done on this video!

[CelloRosin]

Did Pak Gyong Sil do that handspring forward at the Barcelona games?!?! Gee whiz, what was the start value for that back then? Seems far to easy for the olympics.

[MostepanovaFan]

She did do it there, she scored in the 8s but I don't know what the start value was. She had injured her leg before the competition and then it got worse in training after compulsories

[gymshiv]

hehe, nice guide , the half on half off handspring, that's my vault :P

[xo4mommy]

i am so happy they changed the vaults

[pong0622]

why

[mistybabe5489]

cool montage i love vault. the only thing i did'nt see were front hsp 1/1 on vaults, but not many gymnasts do them.

[violaroadkill]

yelena davydova did full on handspring front in 1980 Olympic VT final, but she fell.

[kevinlongwood]

The double front salto has a huge difficulty. It looks easy on the surface but..

[lucascampelovianna]

OMG! Vera's hair is funny.

[sqekcx]

there is a 2.5 twisting tsukahara right? IIRC it is a 6.7 vault, but has anyone done it?

[msalasan]

only man, not girls.

[sqekcx]

I checked the 09 code and yes there's one for girls.

[msalasan]

i didn't say there is not in the code, only that i only know man who have done it. they probably expect girls to do it too, that's why it is in the new code. if any girl has done it, maybe somebody will tell us.

[sqekcx]

oh i see =)

I doubt that vault will become popular though. All the girls are now practicing yurchenkos. I guess the last tsukahara vault we saw was chuso's one at 08 olympics?

[ladodgerschick]

:44 what's up with that hair? lol.

i love watching these guides :)

I'm just wondering. what exactly is a rudi?

[jaeger5535]

a rudi is a front salto with one and a half twists

[cherrymangocitrus]

Thanks! very informative, just wondering what music you used- i'm as much of a music fan as a gym fan

[rockygaz]

The handspring front layout full twist is the McIntosh

[CarlyPattersonFan]

You should have shown Alicia Sacramone doing her handspring vault, I'm not good with vault names but you know the handspring vault she does with i think a piked 1/5 twisting rudi off. !! :s

[yankees70285]

I love Alicia's vault too! She does the rudi in a layout. It's called a Chusovitina.

[MostepanovaFan]

I did show her doing it

[CarlyPattersonFan]

yeh i know!! Sorry! I wrote the comment when the video was halfway through and i hadn't seen it all, i thought someone else had performed it but they did it piked, Alicia does it with a layout.

[Ruffian144]

Outstanding lesson in gymnastics! And thanks for featuring lesser known athletes. I had no idea there were so many different vaults; Makes me wonder why we see the Yurchenko so often.

[saltlakecity2002]

What's the music called?

[ApolytonGP]

u shiud show mary lou for the tsuk full

[kewlioto]

you rock so much!

[saltlakecity2002]

What would a triple-twisting Yurchenko be worth? I heard on BBC coverage that Hong Un Jong was training a triple.

[MostepanovaFan]

I'm not sure but there's 0.7 between a double twist and a 2.5 so maybe a 7.1 likw the Produnova vault? I really hope she does it one day, but I think I'd be scared she'd hurt herself when I see it!

[kewlioto]

I think its 7.2 under the code.

[jaeger5535]

One of the Hong sisters was training that vault and did get hurt, which is why she did not compete in the Beijing Games... i believe it was Hong Su Jong though....

[mistybabe5489]

i think it was hong un jong but she didnt do it in the final. yeah it'll be a 7.2

[rgtzgmnst]

@jaeger5535 i think it was by cheating with her age

[isa1285]

Great job! Can't wait for the second part!

[Athlete065]

Thank you so much for making this!!!

[481095ymg2]

great job!!! but i'm pretty sure that a tsukahara 1 1/2 is rated a 5.7, not a 5.5.

[MostepanovaFan]

It was downgraded to a 5.5 in the latest Code of Points

[Reg121]

Ah, ty for this. I was hoping at some point you'd have the time for it :)

[IGgymnast10]

great! is there a part 2 to this?

[MostepanovaFan]

Yes, part 2 will show the other 2 vault groups (yurchenkos and yurchenko half-ons) but I haven't finished making it yet!

[IGgymnast10]

ok great! i cant wait to see it =]

[FlipinOut97]

love all those sticklandings !great montage!!!!!!5 stars

[Giulyx16]

Great!!!!!

[KorbutFan]

Good job!

[ClayBabe6]

Love it!
