Front somi onto the springboard, handspring front vault

I’m sure I’ve seen a video of it years ago. I want to say it was from a USSR domestic competition in the mid 80s.

Any ideas?

So, kind of like a Whitman, but with a front salto onto the board rather than a front handspring?

 

[MaryClare]

Yes

He mentions in the video that he’s heard of someone doing the vault I describe

That looks like a recipe for disaster, if you are slightly off you are slamming your head right into the horse.
