Better than last weekend... It's the farthest I've ever jumped but unfortunately it was wind aided... I think 3.2m/s. Even so the conditions were sub-optimal, the meet was about 30 minutes delayed and it was POURING. It was so bad that 20 minutes into my warm-up I had to go indoors.. I found a little piece of rolled out surface about 10m long and did what I could until about 15 minutes before I was originally supposed to jump. I was still falling forward through the jump and my hips were back off the step phase. If I can stay upright there's another 20-30cm there for the taking. My board was pretty good but I think I was reaching, I don't have any video but it felt like my foot was out front. I'm excited to jump next week in Calgary!

Jump 1- 13.94m felt good, I had good speed at the board but my last couple of strides weren't as quick as they should have been, need to hold on.

Jump 2- 14.38m had good speed at the board and hips were in a good position but still decelerated over the last couple of strides. Falling forward at the end of the step.

Jump 3- 14.27m felt about the same but with more forward rotation.

14.50m next week..
