Second that!

It appears bigger because of the distance to cover from the take off to the landing. Stand beside the " Obstacle " and its no taller than yourself.

So, my perception leads me to believe its a 5ft drop with a distance of 8ft.

Also, he's not landing on what you would call flat as it has a slight down slope. Not much mind you, though enough to not call it flat ;)

Pretty cool, i like your style of jumping. Not bad for an amatuer eh ;)

One thing i will say tho, which has already been mentioned/suggested to you. You need to train your head not to bounce down when you land, your gonna get yourself a serious injury some day. :cool:

You're doing grand, just avoid the flat landings and your head shouldn't bang about so much.
