How short of a short run is that? You are movin really fast into the box!!

You are right, take off is a little under. It really slows you down at the box. A lot of those jumps look like your momentum stops, THEN goes upward. A more free take off will help a lot with that, but make sure to jump up with as much angle as you can as well. I think you could jump up a little more given your speed. Thats all i have to say!

Yea i know, its a trade off between speed and take off angle till you get the hang of it. Either you run fast but cant jump with good angle, or you go a little slower and jump with more angle. Im actually working on putting the two together right now too.
