Problems with getting vertical
So after my teamate accidently broke the pole i've been jumping on and been able to get vertical on (13'6" 170), i've been jumping around with poles from a 13'6" 165 , 13'6" 175, or a 14' 160 and haven had much success getting vertical. usually i'd hold the max grip on each pole. What would happen is that after i plant, i have a very strong drive leg and swing but my drive leg wouldnt follow with my body to vertical and my trail leg would surpass it. then subconciously i would try to get my drive leg back up with my trail leg and my trail leg would drop and i would go over the bungee with my drive leg first. how would i fix this?
