These guys know how to do an insanely high force, high amplitude skill and move right through it. Oh, and yeah pointed toes be damned!
"And in those simple beautiful movements I remembered what was really important in training; that consistency trumps intensity; all the time. That intensity is born from consistency. That one cannot force it, one has to lay in wait for it, patiently, instinctively, calmly and be ready to grab it when Grace lays it down in front of you."

Have to agree with you boss, I have bad knees from my army days (82nd airborne division) I had my right knee scoped and rehabed. I love watching gymnastics, but I wince when they stick the landing.
sticking landings is just stupid imho. and goes against all basic principles of deflecting forces.
