I can not absolutely well and jump with both feet

[Spud]

Dont lift your knees. You may see people do this but if the timing isnt right it works against you. Best you dont do it. Right now all the springs are doing is lifting your knees and Absorbing the energy. A bit like when you jump from height. You bend your knees to soften the impact.

Stop bending your knees and you shoulD start transfering the energy into height Instead of absorbing it. Give it a go

I think that I need more practice, unfortunately I do not know nobody in my city with which to confront to me, also the Italian forum seems to be dead.

[Spud]

Keep it up and practice. You can always post more vids for advice

Yep agreed what your doing is killing the bounce when you bend your knees

The tecnique is to land with your legs straight pushing down through your heels
Keep your legs straight untill the springs fully straighten and you leave the ground

As you are compressing the springs throw your arms downwards
As the springs are straightening throw your arms upwards

This is a bit like getting a swing going if you get it wrong the swing just stops

Keep going you'll get it eventually

Hi,
following an upgrade of my jumps, I hope to have improved my technique!

[Spud]

Loads better!

Most of the height is comming from you arm movement which are very good but you now need to Start slamming into the grounD with your feet. Practice thAt and you should start getting some good height. The rest of your technique looks good and is loads better.

Hi Spud,
thanks for your suggestions, I think the problem is also  that I do not succeed to go more than 30 minutes on the stilt because I tired a lot! It can be my age (33 years)? I notice a that, when I walk or run I must make much force on the heels otherwise I lose my equilibrium, for this reason the legs make me badly. Is it a normal thing or I rest to make some regulation? 

[Spud]

Bocking is good exercise and you will use new muscles and get fit if you do it enough so it might take you a while to get used to the physical demand. If you ache or hurt take a rest for a few days.

I don't funny understand but you might find it easier if you adjust your support rods. Jason made athread on it:

Hi,
I already used Jason's procedure, I think that I must adjust more my support rods. I will try tomorrow again using another adjustment.
But if I regulate the supports rods like in the figure of Jason, I must only push on the heels and is still more laborious for me, I will try to move the weight on the plant of the feet.
I hope to post you as soon as possible a video with some jumps still higher.

I know a few people who like the footplate adjusted back to lift their toe but most seem to be happier with a toe down or level footplate

The most important bit is to get them straight before you start and then keep them even through each adjustment

Also don't get too fixated on adjusting them as sometimes it just needs time for your body to adjust and make you comfy

   indeed this is true, i find it much easier to get the force down through the heel this way, give it a try (just keep your rods even else you could warp/break them)

HI,
here's a new video, I hope to have made progress! 

[powerbaffo]

Hello,
could you comment my last video and tell me if I made some improvement (or worse if they are  ) ?
Thank you

Looking good mate well done

Looks like you are coming on well, keep it up.

But seems that now you have got the basics down you should go a little further, With split kicks and spring grabs don't be afraid to just go for it, with my split kicks I just give it everything ive got, I always seem to land it now that I have done it so much, but comitment to tricks is one of the key parts.

DC is right there what he has taught me has needed the confidence to do it and the comitment to make it better.
