Short run heights

Unread postby Ins0mnizac » Wed Mar 03, 2004 10:36 pm

I was doing a short run (8 steps) in the gym today and i got 10ft holding at 8'6" and about 10'6". I didn't have much tipe to get inverted and was wondering what some of you guys could get from 8 steps at this height and what your PR's are compared to it.

Well, the last time I tried to PR at 3 lefts was last outdoor season, and I cleared 10'. My PR from my full run, which is 6 lefts, is only 11'4 though... don't quite know what's up with that lol.

I think Derek jumps either 17 7 or 18 3 from 4 lefts. Its down right stupid. I'm not sure about Tye, but its pretty good. LB
