Just lift your legs as high as you can, take huge strides and start jogging

I started by jogging from one foot to the other and then jogging on the spot
running was'nt the problem learning how to stop was

Jog on the spot, with your legs quite high, then slowly go forward. And go faster and faster

. Until you have the confidence to stride/run.

I have 2 ways of running the first way is to keep my body upright and just try to run natrually and the second is just to sorta take giant leaps ....but that really isnt running

Can you run now?

i rather think talking of 'running ' on pro-jumps is a bit of a red herring. It is really more 'skipping' . When running, 1 'grounds' and controls each foot in turn before the next bound. Do that on stilts and you just kill the bounce, and create an ungainly hobbling jog with 6ld of metal , glassfibre and plastic on each leg.

But with skipping you 'ride' the movement, as soon as one hoof touches the ground the other leg is swinging/bounding forewards.

Please peeps tell me if that seems OK

Looking at some vids of people "running" I'd have to agree with the "skipping" theory.

Having said that some people have a very good technique and does look more like running so its a grey area!

Talking about skiping I never could skip despite several girls trying to teach me (the type of skip without a rope I mean and don't ask why I wanted to)
But I was on my PJ's and suddenly I can skip (still can't do it without them)

Now the important question Do PJ's make you more feminine (am I getting in touch with my female side )
And is there likely to be any permanent side effects

Ask the wife lol

Jason · « **Reply #16 on:** June 17, 2007, 09:14:10 PM »

She recons I must be all man only a man could be as stupid as me

GRS · « **Reply #17 on:** June 17, 2007, 09:19:30 PM »

She maybe right lol

chocl8 · « **Reply #18 on:** June 17, 2007, 10:22:43 PM »

I think they do make you feel more feminine, i always start trying 2 do ballet when music comes on, and im on PJ's, though that might just be me....

Jason · « **Reply #19 on:** June 17, 2007, 10:32:03 PM »

You to Chocl8
The second swan lake comes on I grab my PJ's and dance

Trouble is the front room's to small and its playing havoc with the furniture and ornaments specialy the big leap at the end
I went through the window and into the garden last time

The nextdoor neighbour seemed to like the tutu though

Maybe we should start a club how does

"The Pro-Jump Ballarinas" sound to you two

Better than Jurasic Jumpers , Riser Raptors or Welsh Bockers hey

More manley (we'll have to be the stick we'd get wearing pink tutu's)

And where's Freak when you need him

webmaster · « **Reply #22 on:** June 17, 2007, 11:44:54 PM »

I think you may have just started a civil war lol

Jason · « **Reply #23 on:** June 17, 2007, 11:51:27 PM »

I just hope no one takes it seriously I've been looking on the web and they don't do pink tutu's in fatboy size so I'm gona be stuck with the show-it-all tights like Nuriev (not a preety thought)

I think the Ballet Bockers sounds better, as it has illiteration
