Title: Jumpin on to things...?
Post by: jazzmatazz on February 03, 2011, 10:55:38 PM

Hia,
Well i can jump, run and all that now :) and jump of things aswell .. although it was on to grass rather than concrete! :p
My maiun problem is jumping onto things? I'm pretty sure I'm reaching the height i need for some of the small things & i practice jumping over small things, but im always slightly... wary of jumping onto things?

Is it just a grit you teeth and do it , once you've done it once you'll be fine?

I seem like such a wuss now...   :P
Thanks!

Just go for it. I used to always be a bit iffy with jumping onto new things. But once you've done it a couple times that worry usually leaves. Try jumping near it once to see  if you could clear it and be able to land on your hooves.

Had the same problem mate

It is that thought of catching your hoofs and going down face first

You might find it easier if you start small (big kerbs/single steps etc) them build up to 2 steps and on thats how I learned

Still have a few quelms if I have not done it for a while though but I am a coward like that  :Claugh:

Gym meets help due to mats on the other side of what you are jumping

I've managed to jump over things like my school bag on grass :P
And so far I havent actually fallen over.... :D *touch wood* Been some almost falls mind!
So maybe its the uncertainty of falling flat on my face?
I tihnk starting off on small curbs is the best thing!!
Thanks!
And annoyingly no clubs around me :( :(
Thanks again! :D
