Jyl, I would not call that video GREAT helper work. They had some great dogs, and the helper was very athletic but:
The helper was out of position too many times. (How many times do you have to come off your feet to notice that)
You should never have to whirl a dog around 1 1/2 revolutions on a long catch. This was grandstanding.
Several times the helper was either Jammed or O'layed the dog, so the timing was off.
The proper technique would be to allow for some cushion, square the feet , keep them moving, then allow your hips and body to absorb the impact while making aprox. half revolution bringing the dog at a safe angle back to the ground then proceed with a drive.
A good presentation of safe long catches would be Shane at 2008 WUSV. There are several times his timing was off but he kept his feet and hips under him, adjusted his speed and make a safe correct catch. He then put the dog to the ground safely and proceeded then into his drive. www.youtube.com/watch

Just Youtube helpers like:
Clark Niemitalo, Jim Laubmeier, Lotus , Shane Garrehy, James Laney, Steve Romard did some nice work in the past several years
