Title: RVJ and depth jump
Post by: lukasvv on June 13, 2010, 10:44:56 am

Made a new vid for RVJ form check. I also included a set of depth jumps from 18 inch box at the end. The jumps are really low, like 22 inches or so.. Didn't tape a normal svj, but it's a little bit higher, like 24 inches (I once got 27 or so on a day I was really psyched up, but normally it's always like 24 inches). I'm squatting around 1.8-1.9 BW now, so it seems very low to me... And there's really a big difference between SVJ and RVJ.

Anyway, here's the vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6kJnT-ZPwVo (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6kJnT-ZPwVo) (Something went wrong with rendering I think, the actual vid is like 2 minutes, after that it's just a black screen  )

dj's definitely way lower, got to make sure u keep head looking forward though as you land and jump "back and up" to try and go as vertical as possible..

New vid tested on a 290 cm rim: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2YvffjITDPI (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2YvffjITDPI). I wasn't properly warmed up because of a storm approaching and i struggled a bit with my approach (I'm not used to jumping to a rim..) But still got 28-32" (tested this time) so i'm quite happy:)

Vid that should make clear my issues with in-game jumping: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsaOM5XBRxA . Well of course this isn't in-game and it also isn't a real spike approach, but it feels the same as an approach jump for me and i think it also looks like one.. I don't have any vball training until august or so, so this is the only footage I have..

i'd be interested in seeing what spikejon or adam thought, but you're definitely planting your feet so close together that your knees are basically knocking.. i mean in a jump like this, which is a much less aggressive runup than your other videos, your raw explosive strength is going to be much more of a factor, so getting SVJ/drop step SVJ up significantly will make all the difference.

peace man

Haha yeah, but I don't want this kind of approach in game, I want the approach I use without ball while spiking! :P
