Hey, tell me what you did!! What do you think you did that made you get inverted, or was it just a product of a good run/plant? just curious...
way to go

well, actually it was a good plant, run and everything just came together. it was pretty cool feeling. Today i tried on my 14' 165, and had like 7-8
really good jumps. i ran high, fast and planted really tall. Everything clicked and it looks so good on film. i know i can still rockback more but this is a great start. i jumped like 6 inches over handhold. and wat made me get inverted was the training on trainer pole and learning a better plant and swinging my trail leg fast. But hopefully i can continue this performance on my bigger poles and jump well over handhold.
