I go to this gymnastics place and I know of a couple things to do there to help me vault...one thing on the tramp, climbing up a rope and swinging up to get inverted...and some stuff on the bars....I was wondering if there is anything else i can do? And if there is anything else please describe in detail
thanks

http://www.stabartisten.de/ unfortunately it is in German but it shows some different gymnastic things, i like to use the rings to do swinging drills, and we also use the high bar to do bubkas

I do pv gymnastics twice a week and it helps soo much!
I keep my flexibility by lots of gymnastics stretching and jump and flip on trampoline and floor for spatial awareness.
Bubkas and bar work outs are good but another good thing are handstand pushups.
Also rings are good, especially since i'm a girl so i need my upper body strength. They help shoulder stabalization muscles.
Another cool thing is to take a mini bar like waist high, and stand in front of it (not facing it) and do a back extention roll to practice clearing a bar, since pv is kind of like a blind landing in gymnastics. you don't really see the bar until your body is going over it.
Playin on the vault (gymnastics vault) is fun too.

Bubba Sparks has this at his web site. I don't know if this will link but punch it in. It looks like a great drill.

Good clearing the bar awareness
