Is the Johnson switch split named after Shawn Johnson?

difference between a tour jete and a switch split 1/2 ?? =/

[bunbacheso]

@Gymnasticseverywhere In dance, a cat leap is called an axel turn, but I think it may be a teeny bit different because axels are done with tighter passe. A reverse leap in dance would be if you turned your torso 180 in the air but your legs did not switch. In other words, you start off leaping foreward with a right leg split and end up in a left leg split going backwards or vice versa. In both dance and gymnastics, a tour jete (french for turn leap) involves a turn and a switch.

is the switch split ring leap with a half turn in the code of points?? I´ve seen mattie larson performed it but not at worlds

[Izzzi99]

that was beautiful:)

[ljacob30]

isnt the split leap at :23 a switch split? im probably wrong but thats what it looks like

[davies375]

As if the double tuck jump to front support a B!!! I would have thought it would be way harder than that!

[TheLevel4gymnast]

Can you please make me a floor acrobatic guide

[finfelagund]

There have always been some controversies with "Gogean", that is to say, double wolf leap. Even Gina, it´s inventor, cheated it a little bit throughout her carreer, the same with other girls who (perhaps) did it or tried it later. So I am surprised at the high ("D") value of this highly controversial skill.

What's the difference between a Tour Jete and a Switch Split Leap with 1/2 Turn?

[bunbacheso]

what is this music called?

[lucascampelovianna]

Momento tão Márcia Goldschmidt...

[danielcnsilva]

Well, what's the difference between switch split leaps with a half turn or more and Split leaps with a half turn or more?

[alexatornrose]

When you come across the word "switch" it means that one leg swings forward to a less then 45 degrees angle, then it comes backwards, and the other leg swings forward until you rich the split position. That's why it's called "a switch leap", because the legs change direction in their swing in the air. Where "switch" not mentioned, there's no leg switch.

[lucascampelovianna]

A chinese girl did a switch ring lep with half turn at Chinese Nationals this year.

[chrislindsey14]

I think Mattie Larson did something like that too at the 2008 Olympic trials. It was really good!

[piskoun]

I just was never sure with the very last jump by Gogean. I always felt like she cheated a bit on it...

[Callasmaniac]

Thank you very much for this (and all the other CoP-guides you have done)!

Now, when you you have time...could you do a guide on UB close-bar work? With explanations?

Please?

It is quite difficult to tell the difference between all those moves (esp. in live situations...) - for me, anyway.

[Hasoginy]

Can I also request an uneven bars pirouette and handstands guide? please? (puppy eyes)

[Auregym]

Very complete montage, but where is the piked jump ? (I don't know if that still exists, but Amanar was doing one)

[MostepanovaFan]

It is not in the code of points anymore, no pike jumps are for floor exercise so I assume the FIG want to discourage them (not that many people did them anyway)

[gymnasticslover23]

@MostepanovaFan Well in my floor routine I have a pike 1.5. It should still be around

[danielcnsilva]

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ikkansee]

Very good and interesting video ! Thank you ;) :)

[kimberlyann56]

This montage is made 20x better simply because of the music. LOVE somewhere in time... :]

Thanks for this... very helpful! :]

[MunchTheSilivasFan]

Yayyyyyy, Han Bing :):):):)

[gongolo65]

ooops, u've written name EREMAIA....instead of Eremia :)

[krell88]

in terms of leaps and jumps...the code in inconsistent IMO. for example, simple sheep jump and a double tuck jump to front support are both a B. i guess this is there effort to reward artistry and difficulty. a sheep is significantly more simple then a double tuck jump to front support but it does look better.

[silivas4ever]

Super! I was waiting and hoping for this!

[Henriqueeu]

where you get the videos of 5:36 and 4:32?

[emma2710gymnastics]

wow, there are very few high value jumps, which seems odd now that tumbling is limited!!! :( great montage though, i love these!

[TsubasaDreams]

Great music and great content. What is the title of the music? It is just lovely. Out of curiosity, how does one technically describe a tour jete?

[MostepanovaFan]

Music is: Maksim Mrvica Somewhere in Time / The Old Woman.

The code describes a Tour Jete as: Fouette Hop with leg change to

cross split (leg separation 180°) to

land on one foot

[TsubasaDreams]

@MostepanovaFan Thank you for explaining that, I've always wondered the difference between a Tour Jete and a switch half. To me they look the same.

[GalitMirav]

Fantastic! Thanks for making this vid.

[ladodgerschick]

2:53 look at Pav's oversplits!

[mpca66]

What is the music to this video ? I must have it :-)

I have an iClock and always wake to classical music .. makes for a nice gentle awakening vs beeping.

[violaroadkill]

What is the difference between a leap and a jump?

[mpca66]

a leap is from a run and a jump is from a standing position.

[mistybabe5489]

a leap travels length wise. jumps are stationary, they go straight up and back down.

[cathersandtom]

leap takes off from one foot and a jump takes off from 2 feet

[ThePenguin888]

IIRC, Silvia Stroescu did a wolf jump 2/1 at the 2001 Worlds.
