Dude I don't know what a VDSLR is.. I thought both the sony and canon were DSLR...

I have a feeling we're about to be kicked out of this forum for topic drift.

Adarq rules with a steel hand knife.. which he wears around his friggin neck... have wondered why.. ?? anyone?

Biggest problem with Vegas is the audio scrubbing... in the "trimmer" but imovie has awesome audio and video scrubbing.

I love Vegas... the production assistant makes life so easy.

Interesting... about slow mo...  I'm a noob in this stuff, by my vids are getting a bit better.

Someday we'll fight about Mac vs PC... (Was a pc.. then changed to mac... now I'm back to PC)

That Lightworks looks cool... It'd be awesome to have the "wordpress" or open source giant of video editing... with tons of awesome plugins. etc...

are you kidding me?! that shit has been around for the past 2-3 years now, on most TFB vids, a lot of testimonials, hecka stuff
and you don't know about it?

doesn't make sense

I see it around, but probably not as much as you have.

When I get complaints from others I tend to check up on it, or warn them, or talk to them.

I don't know this guy... trust me, if he is super annoying it NOT good for me.

Half the comments on you tube are "1st!" or "Hey I'm 5 foot and wanna dunk, right?"

I know many people think that the spammy stuff is making big $$$ but, I have shut down spammy affiliates before and the few sales they might make is not worth the damage they do.. especially when people think it is me, and don't realize it's an affiliate... which has happened.

I'm not a fan of the spammy stuff... not only is it annoying, but it's just not effective.  Same with pushy salesman, who wants to buy from a pushy salesman... no one.

From my experience most of them end up quitting, their noobs, and trying to hard without thinking of how to help others.

ADARQ -

AE looks awesome, almost bought it a while back, but ended up not... just got busy.

I love Sony Vegas... not sure what you shoot your vids with but I'm looking at a new sony DSLR they are pretty sweet, but the canons also look good.  I'm new to most of this stuff.

In conference before state I jumped a 44' and in long jump I jumped a 22'... I think those were both Sr. Year. 

(in high school I wrestled, ran track Sophmore and SR year, and played on the basketball team (except the year I wrestled)

... I jumped for a small college in Iowa called Simpson.

I honestly don't remember my college PRs...

I also played basketball there.

College and high school my hops period were above average but nothing too special.

Dunk wise I could throw down 2 handers off one foot....

My best year athletically was at age 24 - 25, at 235 pounds (about 12% BF)... I was stronger and jumping higher then I ever have in my life.  This was before I knew people were doing dunk mixes on youtube...


I'm 29 now, and training is a bit intermittent with work and traveling, but after another year we hope to be in one place for a while longer.

I follow your vids... and like watching your progression, but I'm also interested in video work.

I just got Sony Vegas Pro and snagged a new Sony a33 camera, trying to decide on that or a CAnon 60d.

I think you are an after affects fan... thinking about dipping in but I love Sony Vegas for kicking out quick vids, the production assistant with that program is a huge time saver.

Do you think AE is any good for getting vids out quick?


Adarq - I'm guessing you've been on the online scene for a while.

I did a quick search about clapping and track and field:

This guy:
Talks about using clapping for the steps in triple jump:
http://findarticles.com/p/news-articles/kennebec-journal/mi_8137/is_20100530/triple-jump-art/ai_n53841939/

This one:
Talks about using the clap to help throwers get their steps right:
"Start simply by having athletes clap the rhythm of the throw"
http://ezinearticles.com/?Discus-Throw-Secrets&id=2505998

Another:
This one recommends using a clap to give an audio cue - which I have found to be common as well (for triple jump).
"You can also clap your hands as they land to give them an audio cue hearing the rhythm."
http://www.thetriplejump.com/triple-jump-drills/teaching-progression/how-to-teach-the-triple.html

Another:
This also recommends using the clap and having an audio cue for the steps:

I think that the getting a rhythm is obviously important for jumps to help the jumper relax as well as get the proper footwork in place AND clapping just seems like the most natural way to train that rhythm.. IMO.

I'm curious how you teach the takeoff lance... might be interesting.

How do you teach the approach and takeoff?

LOL - See squat flex "accidental timing...

It wasn't that my timing was an "accident" I just don't see how any timing changes how or why I promoted.

(take that question back there if you want or IM me...)
