Post by: t r o c on July 15, 2007, 12:55:46 PM: i'd say built up leg muscles would probably help. i think they key thing is balance tho. one thing is for sure. you will beat your record with your projumps on!

Title: Re: long jump.....
Post by: Taunton on July 18, 2007, 05:47:49 PM: U tried Triple Jump Dave?
If you have natural spring in yer legs (no pun intended :-\) you'll find that moving onto that comes easy.
Keep at it too :)
I loved Long and Triple comps at late teens, then more important things came along and gave up :-[
Recently thought about starting up again though, as I'm now eligible for veteran comps :o
