Jumping onto a cloud of faith.

Yesterday's jump session was a perfect ending. I'm not saying that I'm quitting hj ! Read on and you will understand why.

We did standing backflips, scissors and full-runup jumps.

Backflips was quite well-done. 1.55m from a jump platform.
Scissors was 1.55m too. But i only cleared that once. In theory, you can potentially flop 30cm more than what you can do with scissors jump. So I should be able to jump 1.85m. However I believe that is only true if you are a very skilled jumper since these theories are quite possibly based on professional jumpers and not the ordinary high school jumper.
Then 5 actual jumps. The first 4 jumps was no good. But finally I cleared in the last attempt at 1.60m. No fouls.

And believe you me, I did all those while my shins feel like a wrecked train. On hindsight, I probably shouldn't have ran the day before to NTU with a worn-out shoes.

My confidence is back. The double arm swing technique changeover might really be the way for me.
