stalder: same can be done forward, which is then called an endo.

Thanks. Okay, hm...so thinking about it, I would say if someone can do good handstand presses, is super flexible in pike and has strong hip flexor, they might have an easy time with stalders? Also for toe-ons you need to be flexible? What about free hip? Can I just try them out and learn the...

Thanks. Do you think it is nonsense to start with something else than free hips? Because most start with free hips... Of course, if not planning to get anywhere in this sport, just doing it for fun!

What is easiest to do to handstand if you have NO experience in circling skills. Gymnast is super strong (various handstand presses, rope climb, leg lifts,..) and super flexible (overspltits, pancake,...) and a pretty good overall L5 gymnast. Free Hip, Toe On or Stalder?

If an athlete has no experience in other vaults than the FH; HOW LONG WOULD IT APPROX. TAKE HIM/HER TO BE READY TO COMPETE A TSUK OR A YURI?

But it is not used in competitions because a good "timer" (means just the entry and land on the other side) must not land on the feet but rather the back so there is space for the salto

Sorry, didn't see that question! You mean just the round - off without the salto? Yes, that is totally possible and not hard at all. It is a progression for the tuck! You can also do this with the yurchenko. Just Round Off Back Handspring on the table and land on the other side :)

Your are welcome! Yeah, those are the "entries". But as a Yurchenko or Tsukahara Layout is a very advanced skill (not wanting to speak about twisting them!) and only done in L9 or higher, on Chalkbucket most people usually only use the term tsukahara or yurchenko and mean the "whole vault", so...

Front Handspring: Tusk: Yuri:

Yep! There are 3 entries you can do: Front Handspring (can progress to Front Handspring Front Tuck, etc) Tsukahara, kind of a crooked round off (can progress to Tsukahara with salto tucked, piked, layout and twists) Yurchenko - round off land on spring board, back handspring on the table...

Ah yes sorry, so I meant the tucked or pike tsukahara you usually do at L8 in USAG. grrrrr...I was so happy thinking it it possible in such a short time haha

WOW, that is amazing! You mean a "real" tsuk with a tucked salto at the end?

I would like to start working on another vault rather than my FH. I am definitely a powerful gymnast. My FH on vault is pretty good I would say. I want to compete it next October, so about 6 months. Of course, I will decide it with my coach and we will try different drills. However, I was...

A girl at my gym is doing giants, free hips, kip cast hands and flyways all without grips on. but she is not a tiny girl, she is 14 already and probably about 120lbs! she said she got her grips at L5, but had a hard time relearning the skills so she always refused using them. is this common...

Thanks Rick! Okay, so the forward salto is basically the same as the back one, just other direction. I guess if you do it from a counterswing it is easy, but with the endo... but it looks so cool! Do you need a full endo for this dismount? do you have a video of that dismount?
