What's a good vert?

[Zephyranthes]

I measured my standing vert the other day and I got 19". Tis good or no?

[shengoikee]

how tall are you man?

im 6ft1 and have a 26inch vert

i was looking to go between 35-40 by some time around next summer (i consider that good)

[Dragonic MiKe]

< 0 = :good:

[shengoikee]

ah ok i just re-measured my vert and it was 31

excellent =)

[Scott]

Doesn't really matter for tricking purposes...my vertical leap isn't very good, I believe.

Shengoikee when are we going to see 200 lb pictures?

[tricker_d]

Im like 5'6'' and my vert is only a little more than 12'' on a good day.

[MasterSyrup]

My vert is probably like 4 inches lol

[cyrys]

how the fuck do you guys measure your vert lol

[Zephyranthes]

I'm 5'8".

You stand next to a wall sideways, and reach all the way up and measure your reach. Once you know that number, stand next to the wall, jump as high as you can and reach as high as you can, and measure the difference of where you tapped, and where your reach is.

[Scott]

Try using tape and sticking a piece to the wall, then you're more ACCURATETASTIC.

[Dovicka]

mine is 27"

but if you are thinking about standing doublefulls, its MUCH more about abs and technique than vert

[tricker_d]

lol_

Lol indeed, squats and plyo is what I need.

Blasphemous talk!

[lastmanstanding]

Bear in mind with these threads that everyone seems to use different "rules". Some people use their arms to help them, others use a run up etc... some people cant measure accurately.

my sister had hers measured as 6 inches. she can high jump 1m40. Because it was measured properly... she had to use ONLY her legs... no arm swinging... no run-ups

Most people use their arms, and from standing. i can get at least 17 inches this way. Over 27 with run-up.

[Zephyranthes]

I haven't measured run up, I bet I can get way more that way.

[shengoikee]

Blasphemous talk!

:nervous: do you mean im being pretentious or something?

i mean i just started training hard for once haha

[cyrys]

ok i just mesured my vert and its 20 (ishhh) but i am only 5'6 and 14 year old so i am still growing

[skullmyst]

pete_man_man?

Plus comme eigo_man_man. :wink:

[lastmanstanding]

I can probalby jump onto that 40in box too. and land with straight legs. but that would only happen once i have landed temporarily with bent legs and then straighten them.
