The Fosbury flop is a technique popular among athletes who compete in the high jump. The inventor, Mark Fosbury, used the technique to win an Olympic gold medal in 1968. It is an example of a conservative innovation that liberals have tried to claim as their own after initially rejecting it because it defied their hidebound, regulated way of thinking.
