drive knee, and lots of other things...

Unread postby Ali~PVC » Wed May 25, 2005 11:21 pm

So, i normally have a good knee drive, but lately I have been doing a double leg swing up. It might have to do with the fact that I hurt something in my left hip. So, I would really appreciate any suggestions on how to fix this problem. i also am having a hard time getting vertical. State is on June 3rd, and i jump 9' 6", but i want to do ten and higher more than any thing. So, i would really appreciate any type of advice, or anything that will help me get over ten, and eventually much higher.

if my kids are having problems keeping their drive knee up, I have them smack their thigh on their drive leg before they go, so there is a little sting so they remember to keep their drive knee up

Thanks, I'll try that! Do you have any other advice on anything else?
