hiya peeps.
jus fort i'd share my latest fall, which actually happened about 20 mins ago lol
i was jus practicin a few jumps n grabs wen i saw this wall, about 6 foot, and remembered seein sum1 in a vid, jump and vault ova the wall to the other side.
i fort "yea piece of p**s! i can do it on my feet so y not on pj's?"
so afta a couple of practice jumps i worked up the bottle. Full speed bouncing as i put my hands on the top of the wall to lift my feet ova, the pj's caught the top and i went ova the wall face first. Luckly it was grass i landed on but my elbow, shoulder and neck are f**kin killin!
i swear its taken me like half hour to type this out lol
oh well back on em 2mora!

Man if I'd have known it was going to end like that
10 minutes before it happened, I wouldn't have tried it.
Hope you heal quickly and it works next time. :)

well u can do it wifout stilts coz u can lift ur own leg weight easily but the stilts way 4 ish pounds which is like 4 bags of sugar strapped to ur feet so it harder to pull the legs over the wall eventho u do have spring power :P
-
:Cchatterbox: hope you get better soon. i cant vault anything i never tried even on foot
-

Yep I know that feeling of the groung rushing up to meet you :Claugh:
I have never ridden anything that I haven't fallen off of (Horses/bikes/Motorbikes) I even fell off a car once :Claugh:

Yup, tried to jump on the red cubes, Got onto them but then took the fall as I could not move my feet quick enough. the ground looks hard from 10ft even with mats. felt hard too when i landed. ;-)

Just remember.. Falling is a huge help to learning.. People ask me all the time about falling over/off them and i reply simply with the fact that i will keep falling until the time i get it right. xD

yeah if your not falling, your not pushing yourself hard enough

Jason pushes hard then :Ctwitcy:
Only joking .... Doesn't need pushing to fall :Claugh:

last summer we used to play a game at our meets, called the big hand, where the camera man trys to push bockers over.
i think more people fell when no fear and i started playing "can i touch your spring" though, seems it freaks people in the air out.
on topic though remember vaults are 80% in your arms, if you can hold your own weight up, clippin rails or walls aint so bad

iv never vaulted anything other than a curb or 2 but id love 2 learn i need more height in my jump i think i need 2 work on my technique

Sounds like a good way to loss a finger " can I touch your .... " chop " :Cswoon:
No one should go near a spring when being used !
