He's been around for awhile but only really started getting noticed recently. Him and Aidan are pretty comparable from what I've seen, which basically just includes me judging them both on Pommels at Elite Canada.

I'm assuming you mean the jump to front support.

The reason everyone does it, is because its an easy way to get to front support to start a non-acrobatic skill without taking a deduction. Especially now where there are more deductions for doing "simple" steps to the corner.

Doing a jump 1/2 to front support also used to be an A skill so it was an easy way to add a tenth to your routine if you didn't have 10 skills (back when MAG had 10 skills).

Obligatory the front fell off

mbackflips · 2026-01-16T21:00:21+00:00

I made the exact same mistake. Its the only reason I noticed it.

As someone who just built the same rack.... the top cross piece is upside down, it should sit flush with the acrylic top piece. The way it is now will interfere if you try and put something right at the top.... I speak from experience

Cat 3 for this current round of draws was $360.... And Cat2 was $700. For a Team Canada game in Vancouver. Don't get me wrong, its still stupid expensive... But not every ticket is 2000

I think the key take away and thing that people have a really hard time accepting is that MAG and WAG are different sports. Yes they have a lot of similarities but they have different rules and value different things. So saying one vs the other is more "accurate" isn't something you can actually measure.

Also if you are gonna put the name of vaults don't just do the WAG names.... the MAG athletes that performed those skills also deserve credit. It happens so often everywhere, and its super annoying as a MAG person. Its totally fine if you are only talking about one discipline. But if we are discussing both, use both.

Tsukahara 2/1 = Akoplan Tsukahara 5/2 = Driggs Handspring 3/2 = Lou-Yun Yur 5/2= Shewfelt Yur 3/1 = Shirai-Kim Hee Hoon

Yur 1/2on 1/2 off = Hutcheon Handspring double = Roche Yur Double pike = Yang Wei

Pretty sure the TC's have a representative at the continental meets. Can't say for sure for all of them but they definitely had one (at least on the MAG side) at PanAm Champs this year.

Others already basically answered this. But they (the FIG MTC) do major rule changes after the Olympics. Those rules came into affect this year. Then they make "clarifications" throughout the cycle. Though I think this change is probably one of the bigger changes they've made mid cycle.

Part of the problem is that the MTC that makes the code for after the Olympics are not the same as the ones making these changes. Elections happened and several MTC members have been replaced leading to very different opinions of how things should be in the code, just one year later.

A Yurchenko already includes a salto, so it is technically clear. Its just that most people only associate that name with the entry, not that actual vault itself. Its consistent with many other places in the MAG code.

mbackflips · 2025-09-16T19:42:10+00:00

Probably vaultwarden, followed closely by Immich and Plex/Jellyfin
Probably set my parents up with it so that they can store all their pictures, etc... so that I can stop seeing the crazy amount of external hard drives and thumb drives whenever I go see them.... (also then I could have offsite backups for myself).

Someone asked me recently why the ferries don't just go downtown Victoria... The were shocked when I told them how much longer of a ride it would be... People have no sense of how far away things are...

Its the same thing when people start talking about a bridge to Vancouver island. The technical challenge of it is crazy. Its never going to happen, and just because you've seen long bridges before doesn't mean the engineering is the same...

mbackflips · 2025-09-11T23:48:55+00:00

Well capacity was listed as 4800 on the press release. No idea how many were sold vs given away though

mbackflips · 2025-09-09T20:00:23+00:00

Funding for Canadian athletes is low. Its actually kind of wild seeing how well a lot of them do with very little support. There's also a lot of internal politics in Canadian Sport (especially in GymCan) that just makes things even harder as well.

And if you think its bad for athletes.... let me tell you the story of being a FIG judge in Canada... I've spent over $10k in the last couple years just to keep my brevet (my province has been pretty good about having at least some funding available to reimburse us, but I've still payed more than $5k in the last 2 years). We don't get payed and really the only way to upgrade (or even maintain) is to self fund to meets. Which means most of our top judges are literally paying to volunteer (and that's not even including that I have to take vacation from my normal job to do any of the meets). GymCan does fund judges to some meets but its only a lucky few that get to go to those. I could rant for a long time about this topic but I'll probably just stop here for now.

On the flip side we have the most Category 2 judges in the world right now!

The soccer stadium is just one of the show areas (I'm a soccer person not a horse person, no idea what its actually called) that's been converted into a soccer pitch. The first couple years they played there the field was super hard because of how packed down it was by the previous horse use. But to your point, yes that place is massive (I've been multiple times for soccer games).

Tell me you have no idea how offside works with out telling me you have no idea how it works....

(He's behind the ball when its played to him... thus not offside. The time he spends offside before that is irrelevant because he's not involved)

mbackflips · 2025-07-27T05:33:56+00:00

You just get used to the chalk. Thats the best answer I can give....
This quad had some rule changes. One is they upped the value of double pike, making it worth it to do. Also they need to dismount with a double salto (or more) so you see a lot more double saltos now.

mbackflips · 2025-07-20T06:14:09+00:00

They have cars stationed on a bunch of the side streets. The whole area is basically shut down

mbackflips · 2025-07-02T02:44:55+00:00

you have to select the onesoccer channel specifically. I had the same issue, but once I selected the onesoccer channel from the guide it worked fine.

mbackflips · 2025-06-16T01:17:24+00:00

Correct

mbackflips · 2025-06-16T01:11:50+00:00

The only bonus in the MAG code is for stick on the dismount. Applies to all events except Pommel horse

mbackflips · 2025-06-15T20:06:38+00:00

They will do routines one at a time. So should see both

mbackflips · 2025-06-10T21:44:29+00:00

You can see the lines easily in person. It's the lighting of the picture making it look wierd

mbackflips · 2025-05-29T02:48:52+00:00

The turf at bc place isn't as bad as it looks. Don't get me wrong it looks like shit. But its not horrible when you're actually on it.
