Looks to me as though the poor gymnasts are trying to hop on a mat, not on foam. The mat's nice and thick, but it isn't resilient. Not only can't they get any lift, but they're having to use some of their energy to keep from landing too hard, so they can't get up any momentum from hop to hop. I'd love to see them try it on our foam, and I'd also love to see the yogic flyers try it on the gymnasts' mat. I'm guessing there'd still be a difference, but it wouldn't be nearly so stark.
