i really doubt that with all the protection. But hey it would be awesome if we could.

Sweet! I'll just sleep thru the whole trip.

Is it on today?

Very Nice. I think that your next steps should eather be:
1:kanga jumping those
2:finding and jumping more stairs
3:kanga jump hight training
4:spring grab

For regular jumping, to get more hight, you have to kind of go into a kneeling position in the air, then right before you are going to hit the ground, straghten out and kind of stomp.

Well if your bottoming out without really doing anything, then yeah, its broken. but really it sounds like one of the springs holes for screws got a bit...er...screwy...

Solution: Get some 7's or get some hoofies.

Im suprised you didnt say anything about gaffer tape.

I dunno if its really a big deal. I mean, ever since i hurt my back a while ago, like before our boston meet, im still feeling it. ive actually gotten quite used to it. and dont worry, ive been to the docter, they took xrays and everything, there was nothing. Ive been out on my bocks several times, ive carryed my heavy bookbag to school, ive carryed out my normal life, it seems fine, nothing more than a dull pain, and if its anything more, then one or two pain killers and im good to go.

Wow! Looks like all of you had a hell of alot of fun. Wish we had something like that over here. and congrats to Rancher who almost made the 6 feet.

Very nice man. I knew you would get them super quick. Good thing i suggested you video tape it. Now all we have to do is figure out a way to secure the matress so you can keep practicing. The only way I've thought up it get a big peice of wood, rough it up so that the matress cant slide on it and then jump on that.

Nice, welcome to the site. I'm not sure who the closest person to you would be but im over here in Mass. A mod on the site is over in RI,and there are a few scattered around NH and NY. Think you could come over for some future meets?

edit: you may want to add yourself to the members map.

I think your best bet is with the regular matress and the air matress combo, easy to move, cheap, and affordable.

Yeah my father has one of those but he wouldnt let me try to flip onto it(for good reason, it was his couch) but it looks like the best common thing to flip on if you cant get a gym or crash mats

I was just suggesting why he couldn't. Myself, to get to meets and cross country trips, i work around the house for months and i end up having a good enough amount.

Why does being 14 make it hard to get a gym?

No transportation or lack of money for transportation.

Its only enough if you think its enough, its your body dude. Personally I would take 2, just incase of a breakage and just for moral support. If you try anything Pen, be sure to video tape it, never know, you may land your first flip.
