Record 4 2011-08-30

English

Subject field(s)
  • Horse Racing and Equestrian Sports
  • Variety Shows and Circuses
DEF

Gymnastics performed on a moving horse going on a circle line, in full harmony.

CONT

The term "horse vaulting" is a bit misleading. It brings to mind the aerial leaps performed in gymnastic competitions on a padded stationary block. But the actual sport of horse vaulting is one of the three classic disciplines of horseback riding, the other two being dressage and jumping. ... While vaulting does include jumping onto and off of a moving horse, it also involves much more, as I learned on a visit to watch the Great Falls Vaulting Team practice. Led by coach Jennifer Williams, the team's members ride bareback, kneel and stand on a moving horse, and perform the sort of riding tricks you might see in a circus.

CONT

Vaulting is the art of gymnastics on horse back and is an extremely popular sport with young riders in Europe and is now growing in stature here in Australia.

CONT

For those who liked horses, the daily ride, although strenuous, was lot of fun where, in addition to cavalry drill, there was jumping, vaulting and tentpegging.

DEF

Record 5 2004-04-01

English

Subject field(s)
  • Skydiving, Paragliding and Hang Gliding
DEF

The execution of a specific set of freefall manoeuvres in the shortest possible time.

CONT

When you take up style jumping you should concentrate initially on precision (or turning a "clean" series), rather than on speed.

OBS

Style jumps are made from 2,000 metres ... This allows approximately 27 seconds to exit the aircraft, build up to terminal velocity, align with the heading arrow on the ground and perform the six manoeuvres of the style series, before opening the canopy at 2,000 ft.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Parachutisme, parapente et deltaplane
CONT

En voltige, c'est la rapidité et la maîtrise du corps qui sont demandées. Le parachutiste doit faire en chute libre le plus rapidement possible (par exemple) un tour à gauche, un tour à droite puis un salto avant.
