OMG!!! ... Why are you so hostile?
Hostile? Not at all.
In your original post, you said:

So I'm trying to understand and visualize how your device simulates the "look and feel" of a real vault.
But your vids show swings that are either (1) too slow (and simulate only the second half of a swing) or (2) a seriously flawed early tuck of the trail leg.
I don't think it's too much to ask or suggest that if the device truly simulates the swing of a real-world vault, then in your marketing videos, let's see something closer to a real-world vault.
Honestly, I was trying to give you some constructive advice, TO HELP YOU!
You're actually doing yourself a disservice by posting vids that don't show a vaulter with a faster swing with a fully extended trail leg. All you have to do is put your device on a higher rack, find a better vaulter (that will show off your device a little better), and then videotape it!
And it seems that my suggestion of locating the device further back (at about a 60 degree angle from vertical) - heck, even just HOLD the device at that angle - would show off the benefits of your device far, far better!
Peace.
