Hi all:
Today I built my very own high jump set. For a bar i used a 1 meter
long radio antena, and for the holders i used car jack stands.
Surprisingly this is the best set i've ever seen... The antena is
unbreakable because it is extremley flexible. This means that the
antena will slip out of the grooves on the jack stands, but not break.
Well anyways, this was my first day of real high jump training! At TOque
this year i managed to clear 50cm... which is good for me. Today on the
otherhand, i managed to clear 65cm !! and made it over 67cm (with
falling). This is a 17cm improvment in a month and a half.
To achieve this, i have been practicing jumping with my seat out
infront, and focusing on a quick pull up of the tire. I found that the
quicker i can pull up the tire the higher i can jump....
Now my question is: To be able to jump 80cm+, is the trick to pull the
seat up extremely fast??? Or is there a technique that i'm not useing?
Can an experienced jumper help me out please??

Has anyone ever done a frame stall? To do it you drop your frame to the
ground infront of you, then jump on the fork, right infront of your
tire. Then you hop back on your pedals and pull the frame up. Did I
invent this? or has someone done it before?
