Jock, i was trying to find out who you are. Saw you comment you want to jump 7.90 soon. Is this just very high expectations or are you already close to that? PB? Also to the speed thing, ive technically jumped 7.87 from take off to landing. I only run 11.2 when i did 100m, my foot was swolen but still, you dont need blazing speed to jump. Then again 2 guys from my old club run the same time and jumped 6.70, so depends.
The french guys jump – From the vid if you look at the top of the line and compare them against that slightly blacker tile in the middle of their lines, if you got that. Looks about 20cm more than Teddy’s jump so out to 17.84, minus 20cm for board is 17.64. I wonder what his other jumps were that day.
