vancity_kid 0 Posted December 26, 2003 Share Posted December 26, 2003 Anyone got any tips on getting your body more horizontal when doing methods? I extend farther than a mofo when I do them but can't seem to get my body in a horizontal position. Link to post Share on other sites
barok 0 Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 yeah, I can't do it, but I know how. . . Think of the motion of this kind of a jump as someone tossing an egg straight in the air. At it's apex, it hangs for a moment longer than it should. Then think of your regular jump as someone throwing an egg in an arc shaped motion, the momentum is much more horizontal. You want the hanging egg. So you need to go off a super steep jump number one. 40 degrees or greater. You want to plane your body out on the way up, but keep your head upright, spotting your landing the whole time. When you approach the apex of your jump, you will be essentially plained all the way out, and here you benefit, because your body is essentially weightless (upward momentum = downward momentum) so you can easily right yourself, and get ready for your upright landing.
