I am on a 162.8 14'1 jumping 13'. I am holding at about 13'6. I weight 140 and am 5'6. There is about a 30 mph cross wind.

Any help would be nice, the angle is a little bad but it is all I have. the main problem I think I have is that I have just about 0 push off.

All I could really tell was that you didn't have a free take-off.

So there is nothing else? Is it because of the camera angle?

just hit it hard and fast! Go up poles if you can. 4 days isnt enough time for a quick fix.

All I could really see was there wasn't a free take-off... I wish I could give you more, but the angle combined with the distance away from the pit, and that guy steps right in front of you during your plant... sorry, I wish I could help you more! :crying:

It's alright, I should do fine. I jump about 3 feet higher than everybody in our district.
