Re: Getting Fully Inverted
That chart looks very useful. If i start a kid at the 35-0 for that drill and he can't get close enough to the box to jump up, do i move him up...or keep trying until he improves his speed/run and stay at 35-0 until he can get up? Thanks alot for all of your help. I appreciate it

Hey guys, thanks for your help. I'll get to work.
Quick question: For David Johnston's chart. Does that 6 stride mark apply for where to start for a 3 Left approach or only for during a full approach run. (OR CAN YOU APPLY FOR BOTH)
Thanks

slide box
I just made a slide box out of 4 pieces of wood and am concerned if it will actually slide on rubber runway. Anyone have an idea on how to get it to slide nicely (what material to put on the bottom or something)
