Video Details

The Leap Frog is introduced as a more challenging mounting method compared to other techniques. Key to executing this move is the simultaneous lift of both feet, with caution necessary to avoid clipping them when transitioning. Practicing on flat ground before attempting the leap is encouraged to build confidence.

To effectively utilize the Leap Frog method, it is advisable to place hands on the inside while keeping feet outside. This technique emphasizes the importance of a smooth transition into balance after the initial leap. For those new to this method, starting from a lower rail and gradually progressing to a higher one can help ease the learning curve.

With practice, the Leap Frog method is recognized as a fast and efficient way to mount rails, allowing for smoother progression in skill development. Once comfort with the movement is achieved, it can enhance overall performance in mounting techniques. The consistent practice of this method is seen as valuable for building confidence and improving execution.

Key Points:

  1. The Leap Frog method requires lifting both feet simultaneously and practicing on flat ground beforehand to avoid foot clipping.
  2. Hands should be placed on the inside with feet outside to facilitate balance after the leap.
  3. Starting from lower rails and progressing to higher ones makes mastering the technique easier and enhances overall mounting efficiency.

The Lesson

Starting next to a hip-height circular rail, place both hands on the bar, close together.
Next, jump up and land both feet on the rail on the outside of the hands.
You can crouch into this position with four points of contact, or take your hands off the rail and finish in a crouched position.

This is a bilateral movement where both sides of the body are moving identically and at the same time. Therefore, only three total reps need to be completed.

Both feet need to land on the bar at the same time.

all right next mounting method is a Leap
8.28
Frog again this is a little bit harder
10.559
again slightly trickier um the key here
15.16
is both feet are going to come up at the
17.72
same time and you want to be a bit
19.64
careful over this because you don't want
21.08
to be a you don't want to clip your feet
23.24
on here you want to go as high as you
25.56
can and see if you can bring your feet
27.679
down onto the rail practice on a walk
30.119
first and then onto the rail um the leap
34.96
frog is hands are on the inside feet are
38.12
on the outside um and pretty much it's a
42.399
Lea frog so from here you want to put
45.48
both hands on step in if you want from
47.84
here feet up and straight in to the
51.879
balance so again that is another method
54.48
of mounting the rail um you can progress
57.8
into this like I say use a wall to get
60.359
up on top you can start with a low W and
62.84
then you know go up higher start with a
65.88
low rail work up higher um but again
69.24
it's very fast it's a quick method of
72.24
mounting um and yeah it it's just quite
76.08
efficient to use getting on once you're
79.32
comfortable
