I'm in, haven't broken 32" in 6 months tho so wont be threatening anyone here. But love a good comp. Maybe we should have a hashtag and we can post updates on insta?

Nice. I haven't tested in ages. Will get my baseline next week.

Yes definitely go with a hashtag. #2019vertcomp does seem to fit nicely. Any other suggestions?

i'd love to be in.. but i think i'm out. lol.

i love the idea of a 2019 vert comp thread tho. a competitive thread is a great.

Mate I reckon a couple of sneaky jumps would see you do quite well...

tbh, i bet it would. that's what's crazy. all of this running has me feeling so springy/powerful. sometimes i jump up onto the curb and such, or over a small railing, or over that snake several months ago (lol), and i feel so good, almost dunk level. obviously don't have that peak power anymore, but running has definitely kept that spring going. getting some of that jump specific power back would just require actual jump sessions. would be cool to do long light runs with "strides" but instead, jumps. imagine slow quarter mile recovery laps with a L-SLRVJ every lap, going at a vertec (that sounds pretty fun lmao). all of this sounds kind of "steepler" ish.

for a while now, i've been interested in potentially jumping on grass.. i wouldn't jump on hard courts anymore, or even indoor gyms. but i really do love springy grass. would be cool to buy a vertec and get some jumps in eventually. dragging it out there would suck tho. hah.

for now, i'll just spectate.

Just out of interests sake maybe do a few tests. Once a month or something. Just to see where you are?

ya i'd need to figure out a way to measure it properly, on grass (ie a real or turf football field, touches on the goal post etc).

need to think about it.

i'm also tempted, whenever i leave this country and am back in a place with basketball courts. wonder how much i've lost. presumably a lot.

#2019lostvertcomp, LBSS vs adarq???

lol, let's do it!

ok i'll figure out a way to measure before jan is up..

i'll do a grass L-SLRVJ.

I'd be in but it wouldn't be fair, if you remember me from Terminal Vertical I would gain like 2 to 3 inches of vert every week lol

lol. stop
