Title: Getting higher
Post by: Jason on July 29, 2007, 10:33:41 PM

I know it's not very high but I managed to jump a 2ft high pole today

I made a sort of show jump of broom handles and plastic pipe and someone watching reconed I cleared it by a good 6 inches

I also set up a platform about 20" high and managed to jump onto it ( I had a sort of mental block about steps and walls fear I guess )

So I'm having a really good day folks and thought I'd share it with you all  ;D ;D ;D

I nearly did one while walking a while back (at least it felt like it on the way down )  ;D

The honest answer is I don't know but from watching the various vids on here it seems that some people can flip from a 2ft jump while others seem to need loads of height

Well done Jason, I have a mental block jumping onto things to, but I kinda got over that a bit at the cardiff meet last weekend.

I'd say it could be done ! People flip without them but it's hard. Juniors don't spring as much as adult ones and some of us still haven't tried it !

My PC's downloading so I'm slow tonight !?
That should help but remeber how high your getting when you flip, that's what high you need to flip but remeber you've got PJ's on !?
Try flipping with weight on your feet has that is how it will feel when flip on PJ's ( take care ).
And thx's my hands still feels tender  :-\
