The lowdown

From a run you dive forward, put both hands on the obstacle together and push, and your tucked legs pass between your arms to land on your feet beyond it.

How to learn it

  1. Run

    Run in swinging your arms and take off from a split stance.

    CueSwing the arms
  2. Dive

    Jump up and forward and commit to the dive.

    CueCommit
  3. Plant

    Put both hands flat on the obstacle together, hips over hands.

    CueReach further on
  4. Tuck

    Bring your knees to your chest and push the obstacle behind you.

    CueTuck tight
  5. Land

    Let your legs pass between your arms and land on your feet.

Why it isn't working

  1. IfKnees or toes clipping the obstacle.
    ThenTuck tighter and lift your hips higher than your shoulders.
  2. IfHands placed too near the front edge.
    ThenReach further on so your hips are over your hands when you push.
  3. IfRunning in with your arms held out.
    ThenSwing your arms; held out, they kill your speed.
  4. IfHesitating at take-off.
    ThenCommit or stop well before the obstacle; a half dive is worse than none.

Why it's Gold: Gold because it is head first onto your hands, and coaches say it cannot really be learned slowly. It needs a real push and a moment of trust.
