so how many of you have days like this
outdoors
nice tail wind
deep box
warm weather
and even with the correct takeoff, you cant even get in the pit on your normal sticks.
so frustrated

today I had a tiny tail wind that switched to a tiny head wind while I was trying to get on a new pole so I ran through about 20 times and when I actualy got up on it and was rocking back I was barely over the pit. It was the most pissed off I have ever gotting at practice.

you guys taking off at 10' and 10' 3", i would love to get myself out that far. I've been jumping at 9'6 and under for 4 weeks and can't get my step back..... i move my mark and i reach, move it in and it gets worse. if your getting in don't freak out too much, at least your still able to still muscle it in.

Sounds like you need to get someone watching your mid-mark

Today, was another bad day where i "really hate this sport." During warmups, I was even getting on my big sticks -- 15 footers -- and penetrating with them. I opened up at 14' with my 14's and cleared, then got out at 14'6"
I kept knicking it with my chest on the way down. I guess I needed to penetrate more or "cheat" and move my standards from 75 to 70. I didn't even get to try my big pole!

check your posture at take-off too, not just your mid
