western roll

The rest used the straddle or the western roll.

In this respect the straddle resembles the western roll.

It is a successor of the western roll, with which it is sometimes confused.

The museum also displays a small collection of Great Western rolling stock and equipment, including:

Many Western rolling pins are roller types.

Four days later found me out in the garden learning the 'Western roll' over a beautifully (if hastily)made high jump frame.

Cornelius Johnson These were western roll jumpers who held the world record before the straddle era.

He modified the Western roll technique by developing an efficient side-to-the-bar clearance, which resulted in more height and consistency.

The previous techniques were the straddle, the Western roll, the Scissors and the Eastern cut-off.

Another American, George Horine, developed an even more efficient technique, the Western roll.

Ed Beeson was a Berkeley student and track competitor who also used the Western roll style.

He used the western roll technique, which was common at the time, and in 1948 achieved a career best clearance of 2.04 meters (6 ft 8 in).

Harold M. Osborn developed a unique variation of the Western roll style of high jumping.

A skill such as high jumping can then be refined into a competitive technique like the Western roll or the Fosbury Flop.

High jumpers typically cleared the bar feet first in the late 19th century, using either the Scissors, Eastern cut-off or Western roll technique.

Straddle jumpers took off as in the Western roll, but rotated their (belly-down) torso around the bar, obtaining the most economical clearance up to that time.

His form had been awkward at 19-4 3/4, where he went over the bar as if he were using the Western roll technique now obsolete in the high jump.

He was not able to compete in his best event, the high jump, because he used the Western roll jumping style, which was considered illegal at that time.

However, in the western roll the jumper's side or back faces the bar; in the straddle the jumper crosses the bar face down, with legs straddling it.

The prevailing methods involved jumping forwards or sideways, styles called the Roll or "Western Roll" and previous to that, the "Scissors" style.

Rolling Hills Apartments is a renovated residence hall that was originally the "Best Western Rolling Hills Resort."

Before Fosbury, most elite jumpers used the Straddle technique, Western Roll, Eastern cut-off or even Scissors-Jump to clear the bar.

With this clearance position, the straddle has a mechanical advantage over the western roll, since it is possible to clear a bar that is higher relative to the jumper's center of gravity.

In the Western roll, the bar was approached on a diagonal-the inner leg used for the take-off, while the outer leg was thrust up to lead the body sideways over the bar.

While Osborn was practicing his hurdles and jumping in the field at his farm home in Illinois, the Western roll was gradually replacing an earlier jumping style called the scissor-kick.
