my personal goal!!

[Schuman]

My goal with my stilts is to jump over my volkswagan bug!!
does anyone have any tips for me to get better andable to jump higher and farther??
i live in the USA and there are not any gyms for me to practice at and i'm all on my own!!
I need some ideas that will help me!!

It's not that i can jump cars or anything. Thats a pretty big goal but anyway. The only way you will be able to do it is if you practice lots. You will need to have perfect technique. There are some tips and tutorials on that on one of the boards. But the only way to master it is on your stilts. Video yourself bocking and see how you can improve. It may also be worth you making a high jump bar so you can see you are getting the height.

I dont think i have ever seen somebody jump a car. Only flip i think :/ see if its possible first. Need acheivable goals.

 To gain both height and distance you would have to somersault over it. A basic jump can give you a lot of height but even running up to the jump would still mean you waste a lot in height compared to the total distance you'd traveled forward. The flip is a way to extending the travel, it loses height but that is the trade off you have to make !
 Watch almost every video where a bocker is jumping over a big object and they will flip over it, that not showing off it's the best way to do it !
 So before you attempted a car you have to learn to flip, flipping in it self is a good first goal to set yourself, some would be happy with that, but you go for it
 
 There's loads of video's of people jumping/flipping to study and learn from. There is a very good video on car jumping on this site that you may already seen and well REALLY give you a goal to aim for

 Good luck and we all hope you make it one day and well love to see your video when you final do reach your goal !

You could always vault it instead. It's not jumping clean over it, just putting your hands down on the roof. Again, this takes a lot of practice and confidence and you need a very good and powerful approach.
