What do you think is a more important part of high jump : height
(yours), or technique ?

Because if you look at Xav Collos, he can hop something like 1m03
(Rolling), and he's pretty short...

I've done 83 cm (32.68 inches) onto a ledge (this was a couple of
months ago), and 77 cm (30.31 inches) over the bar (last week (so I
could probably do more onto something now)).

most on technique, when I have hopping flukes I feel I use less power
and get higher.

Technique.

When I do a prehop wrong I find myself having to tuck the tire way
under me to reach an object. When I prehop correctly and really give it
that perfect bounce, I find myself easily getting onto things and
barely tucking my tire at all.

For me, I am about a 1.5' away from the object when I prehop. My prehop
usually takes me a foot away from an object and thats enough room for
me to get my height, and not clip my foot or anything else on they way
up.

Just practice and get comfortable with it. You find what is too far
away, and what is too close, then you find what is right.

You could add some ply wood to the top or bottom just to increase by a
few cm or an inch at a time.

I hate you ! :p

I didn't know you were that good in high hopping ! 87 cm is huge, I
wish I could do that.

But why didn't you participate in the high jump competition at O.U.I. ?
You would have win for sure !

Anyway, congrats mate ! I hope to see you next year !

I cant jump over a bar, it just doesnt work for me. I just get the big
hop, and my jump is all prepped for an object instead of landing back
down on the ground. So in theory, over a bar I can only jump like
60-70, not like onto something like 80-87. But if we had a high jump
contest onto pallets or something that would have been my category.
Oh, and happy belated birthday hugo, and nice haircut :P.

see u next year
