Skyline Competitive Surcingle The Skyline Competitive vaulting surcingle will give
your vaulters a distinct advantage through its refined grip style.
By seeking the input of several international competitors & coaches who have used
nearly all of the available surcingle designs in the international competition ring, this list of most important points shaped the concept & design in our new surcingle and
accessories.
Parallel Grip Angle Because most surcingles sit with a slight or significant tip
backwards when placed on the horse, the parallel portion of most other grips end up tipped backwards as well. At the top of a handstand this actually forces the vaulters
wrists backwards since the wrist joint is not able to bend that direction. Try this: Hold a pen in your hand and make a fist, now bend your wrist until the pen is parallel: how much further can you go now? As a result of this most vaulters at the top of the handstand have to let their wrists fall sideways on the handle and this leads to wrist problems. The Skyline Competitive surcingle fixes this problem by putting a deliberate
forward tip on the parallel grips so that they end up tipped slightly forward or at least
remain flat once on the horse.
Spacing of Bottom Supports Most surcingles that are currently manufactured use
two supports at the bottom side of each grip allow for easier balancing from above.
However, in many mount and ground jump positions the extra width gets in the way.
The Skyline Competitive has both of these supports, but places them closer together so that a mount such as the current Technical Test mount is: 1) much more
comfortable, and 2) easier to have your body further forward.
Not too big, not too small The variety of different grips out there, and many other
attempts people have made to make their own, has led to many designs that where
“just a little off”. The grips on the Skyline Competitive have been carefully sized with
much input and testing and all those involved in the process would like to assure you that these are “just right.”
Pacage includes Contoured Crank Girth and your choice of side reins are included.
