Sounds like we are at a similar place with the bocking EP.

Went down the park with the kids this morning, nice and early to avoid all the gawpers. (we are shy y'know).
Walking seems to present no problems and jogging feels good, although slowing down is a bit sketchy for me??

As for jumping, don't reckon i have been above 1' yet. Feels kinda wierd? How should the feet be positioned, close together or shoulder width apart??

My avatar in no way, represents my bocking ability. It is just a fun graphic design.

It doesn't really matter greatly, but fairly close together seems to work best for me.  And don't get worried about not getting much height quickly, because as I recall you have some fairly powerful springs.  Just practice and try to get a feel for them, and keep in mind that Poweriser springs take some breaking in.  Also try to notice when you're going through instinctual fall-breaking motions when you land, it seems that beginners unconsciously sap away their own height that way.  A relaxed but solid and vertical pose seems to work best when landing.

Damn Powerskip springs, how the hell did I break them in two days?
