Question.

[w00teR]

Hello everyone, I would like to ask about how to increase my jumping height?

I can do a Front Flip and a Side Flip.

But they are really really hard to do for me because my jumping height is really small...

So I`d like to ask what exercises or maybe tricks should i do so i could increase my jumping height?

Learn to block.
There are various blocking tutorials on the internet.
Google or youtube it, you'll find one somewhere

They're really hard for you because your technique sucks, not because you can't jump high. You only need like a 3 inch vertical to do a backflip =p

Fuck blocking, blocking only works when you do everything else right too, that being said, learn to do everything better really :] noone gets immense height right away.

So if i got it correctly i just need to improve my techniques? Like when doing frontflip raise my hands get a tight tuck n shit??

And how the hell should i block in SideFlip? D:

The same way you'd block a frontflip :p

Just hit the ground at an angle, converting forward momentum into vertical momentum.

Yes, just step into the sideflip haha

1. step
2. land sideways
3. jump
4. torque and tuck

Also sprinting, mussing up your legs, getting angrier, etc. will help your jump height
