  1. Hello everyone,

    I know that you've all seen similar threads a hundred times, but I'll
    let you know I read all the threads but none seem to answer my
    question.

    For 1, I keep hearing people saying
    Start 2-3 feet out,
    compress you tire fully,
    Jump toward/up the object,

    *Shouldn't there be.....(between Start 2-3 feet out and compress you
    tire fully).....jump 1 to 1.5 towards the object

    Also, I hear the common phrase timing and tucking, I get what you guys
    mean by tucking, but *timing*?

  2. I dont start far away from the object, im actually within a foot from it
    when im jumping. Just jump wherever is going to work for you. Some
    people start back further to do a prehop and when I jump up something,
    I dont use a prehop, so im just pretty close to the object and just go
    straight up.

    The timing is when to do everything. When to bring the tire up to give
    you the max height of your jump and stuff.

    I prefer that method myself but I still want to improve my prehop
    skills to see if I can go higher.
