Hello everyone,
you could watch this video? I finally managed to run and jump with one foot, but I can not absolutely well and jump with both feet. I do not understand what mistake, it is possible that my weight does not accommodate the springs? when I bought powerstrider I weighed 84 kg, now, after three weeks, weight 79 kg, below the springs 83 it says, are good or am I not? please give me some advice. thanks
In this video you can also see the Etna volcano full of snow!

I have the same problem! I think because two things- I'm too light for my springs (60m's) & my technique need work.(straight back when land and putting all energy into the first jump then let gravity and your own weight do all the work) I tend to bend my knees and lean forwards. Guess just practice, still....Wish they made lighter springs for the adults pro-jumps.

Maybe you could try other make's springs- 7 leagues, powerskips?

A lot of people find that jumping on two feet is hard

When you jump on two feet to start with you must keep your legs and back straight to transfer the power to the springs
Try to push down through your heels

As this is very different to jumping without bocks it really confuses beginers especially as you are taught to bend your knees when landing in normal jumping

Watch a few vids on here and keep trying it will come very soon

Your springs are a bit on the light side and are compressing fine when you run so you will soon be jumping

Thank you Jason, thank you GIZMOQUEEN, I will try to still practice and still, I wanted to be sure that my springs were right for my weight. But do I carry up my knees?

Thank again to all

you look like you are trying to focus on the up part of the jump. Try and focus on pushing down when you land, this will make u jump higher.

I hope that's useful.

Thanks you griffithsm00,
I suspected a thing of the sort!
It could help me if I watch initially low in order to see the impact point of the rubber feet?

No! If you do that your back will not be straight and you will be outt of balence. Look a few good meters ahead.

powerbaffo · « **Reply #7 on:** January 25, 2010, 01:13:54 PM »

Ok, I will try to do like you suggest me and next, if I do not break off nothing, I will post you another video!

Dont expect resukts straight off. Look at vids of you and compare yours to others. Getting good height is harder than it looks at first.

powerbaffo · « **Reply #9 on:** January 25, 2010, 03:03:26 PM »

Do you have any video that can explain me how can do?
Thanks you

How long have you been bocking for?

powerbaffo · « **Reply #11 on:** January 25, 2010, 03:20:07 PM »

Hi Athoul,
I have them from three weeks and it uses them 2 or 3 times to week

What have I find?

Spud · « **Reply #16 on:** January 26, 2010, 01:13:03 AM »

Nothing in particular. Just some bocking vids that show how people jump. Look at what they do, compare it to what you do and try to do more of whatever seems to be working on the vids.

I can only explain so much. Practice, learn what good technique is and practice some more

Look in the video gallery here

Enjoy

Spud · « **Reply #21 on:** January 27, 2010, 09:28:33 AM »

powerbaffo · « **Reply #22 on:** January 27, 2010, 09:32:03 AM »

Ok, this is the url!

In this video I try to follow your indications. Still I do not succeed well to jump but I have become best to falling!

when jumping, try not to tuck your legs up so high - maybe someone else can explain it better, all i can think is that it doesnt seem to flow right, perhaps because your legs are still slightly bent when they hit the ground & is killing the bounce, but i wouldnt be surprised if im wrong there
