But just to show that nobody's perfect, I heard that the Yamakasi had a lot of overuse injuries from the way they trained, though.

I hear a lot of people say that anyone who trained with the Yamakasi never performed any drops big or small until after one full year of training.

I've heard that as well. Never verified it, though.. just hearsay.

why is everyone complaining about one person who wants to do a big jump. he obviously was going to do it anyways. he is not going to have a sudden random epiphany just because some guys over the internet told him not to do it. if he wants to do the jump he will at least you could try to give some advice not just spam him with "DON'T JUMP" like he is some psychotic suicidal maniac. if he thinks he can do it then that is his problem. just let it go

If he wouldn't listen to us why would we listen to you? By your own logic your post was a waste of time.

For every year of training you have, drop from same height.

Train for three year = 3 foot drop with no damage

Train for 20 year = 20 foot drop ALL the time.

75 year training = 75 foot drop

I enjoy checking it, because people tend to get pwned on a regular basis in this thread.

Matt Stick · « **Reply #150 on:** August 04, 2009, 08:12:08 PM »

i love the word pwned XD especially when its used by someone other than an annoying 13 year old.

wow i did get pwned. but i was just trying to say that some peoples actions are inevitable. but apparently because he wont listen to you guys and you guys wont listen to me, everything i say is pointless so there is no reason to read this post.

and i just lost.

CRAP! I lost...

anyways, we read what you wrote... it is just that you came off as saying that we shouldn't try to stop people from doing stupid things... which is even more stupid then the idiot doing the stupid thing...

Point being, no matter what... DON'T JUMP FROM DEATHLY HEIGHTS ( Oh I'm sorry... I put an apostrophe in Don't not a quotation mark... *DON"T )

but yea... we should try our best, it is our duty to try our best, to stop people from hurting themselves... especially when they don't know that it will... it isn't that he was going to jump and knew that he'd get hurt... then he would be an idiot... but not knowing is different... still, he should have researched, but you know... we're not perfect

If you look at a drop and say 'wow, thats a long ways down.' and jump, youre an idiot.

David Jones · « **Reply #155 on:** August 05, 2009, 11:47:24 AM »

Haha, I could bet so much money that if I challenged a lot of you guys for 1 all day session, but with no drops at all (any drop above 2 feet) you guys would have so much trouble going through the environment with the same amount of efficiency and fluidity. I'm actually gonna start working on a thread for just this, but with more details on what is considered to be a penalty, and any exceptions.

Thank you all who gave me the idea to do this!

Any of the experienced Traceurs, this isn't directed towards you at all.

Matt Stick · « **Reply #156 on:** August 05, 2009, 11:53:28 AM »

ive been training for 3 months, but i have the common sense not to do drops.

David Jones · « **Reply #157 on:** August 05, 2009, 04:44:44 PM »

Doesn't matter, there are always exceptions, and your one of them! Congrats!

Serious though, A lot of other don't have the common sense.

Matt Stick · « **Reply #158 on:** August 05, 2009, 06:40:23 PM »

well people read one tutorial and try landings a few times in their living room, and think that they are automatically invinceble. ive done stupid things in the past but i wised up real fast.

and that 3 feet 600 pounds stuff isn't accurate. the factors that contribute to a number like that are all over the board. how much you weigh being the biggest issue. and how your landing technique is. cause people reach for the ground and apply force as there body gets closer. but to just say EVERYBODY who jumps from 3 feet will generate 600 pounds of force upon impact... now thats just silly...

Hush you. Scare tactics are more effective.

At absolute best, you're going to generate .75 times your bodyweight extra.. At worst, probably a little under triple. At three feet, that is.

it depends on the time that is affected at the speed of a natural drop (10m\s)
