Doubleleg over stuff (http://trickstutorials.com/index.php?page=content/t_doubleleg)
I didn't have the luxury or the brains to consider using this method, and the bent knee method was already working well for me, so I didn't use this method. But it works, a lot of people have had success with this method. Find or set up a barrier you can doubleleg over. Preferably, something you can literally roll over, the higher the better. In fact, this will not work if the object is too low. Now, just start rolling over it with the legs together. The height of the object must soon be tall enough so you have to jump to even get over it. Gradually jump more and rely on the object less and less until you begin clearing it without touching it. It's like a spotter! Sort of...This sounds like a really fun thing to try out, especially since you can measure the height of the object which is a lot easier than measuring a kick or just how much or how little you're bending your knees when moving from the bent-knee version to the straight-knee version.
Since he mentioned a trash-can with a pillow on it it got me thinking. It would be a pain to stick that on there, and it might come off and you'd have to keep putting it back on. Would it be possible to strap a pillow to your back (kind of like how in DBZ they strap turtle shells to their back) and then you could basically roll over anything?
Trash cans are also sometimes kinda small. I don't think they would support your whole back. So when you roll over it, shold it be underneath the upperback+scapula, or the small of the lower back/tailbone/ass area?
While a horizantal object is described, would it be possible to do it across objects that are slightly tilted? like / instead of _ Then you don't have to go fully horizantal and the hips can stay below the head instead of being level. Then you can elevate the surface of the object (along with elevating height) so just like how people gradually go higher, they could gradually tilt more too.
Another thing is, something that is sort of curved is probably good too, since if you're rolling across and hit a corner that would hurt and slow you down. A pillow sort of surves that purpose I guess.
Maybe I'm picturing it wrong, but if there was some kind of elevated top half of a cylinder then that would be perfect right? So we should keep an eye out for such an object?
