hi,
when i am jumping sif i have a what seams unique form of holding the
sadle.
i hold it with both hands and with my right feet forward and then i
jump to the right
i almost never let the sadle go with any of my hands, and this make my
tend to not jump from far away when trying to get up on things i stay
right in front of them if possiple
i think im kinda "controling"with my left hand and "pulling with my
right hand, just like most guys,but i kep my left hand on the saddle i
tried to do it the normal way but i cant jump anyhing near as high as
i can when having both hands of the saddle
i can jump 90cm and do some flips and spins with both hands on the
saddle
what do you think anyone of you jump this way too? and do you think
that i despearetly need to change it?
sry for the gramma that may not be perfect🙂 (im danish)

I find it very very hard to believe your hitting 90cm holding the saddle
with two hands. If you are hitting 90cm and not 9cm I say stick with
it, thats pretty respectable.

i used to hop like you but i changed to just
holding with my right hand and jumping to the left
at first it felt harder but when i got used to it i could hop better.

I jump the same exact way, i am trying to stop but i keep using both
hands.... if you are hitting 90cm this way good job!
How should i be jumping?
-i am right handed, but my right foot is foward
-i jump exactly like stampe does (use both hands and then i jump to the
right)

When you say 90cm, is it up or sideways?
I could probably jump 90cm sideways with no hands at all. If it's up,
then you're just crazy!

Its funny how he keeps making excuses and is putting it off, Im still
not convinced. I can just about hit 90 and its not easy, I cant imagine
ever making it with two hands on the saddle. Thats why I am looking
forward to seeing a vid, untill then I dont believe it atall.
