How would you fail the Jumping Spider?

[japantv1210]

I really hope I wouldn't fail it. But I imagine if I did fail it, it would be because one of my legs slips off of the walls, or I get a bad jump angle off the trampoline and wind up missing the walls with my legs.

I can't see myself failing it.. The only thing I could see happening would be trying to rush and slipping (granted I'd probably recover with my arms imediately) or pulling a Nagano..

Considering you havn't practice really at all with a trampoline, I wouldn't be so confident Rider.

I've practice with a trampoline very similair to the real one, and I'm not confident I could get the height.

Sticking it wouldn't be a problem IMO. Even if I barely get the height, I should be able to stick it.

So if I were to fail it, it'd be me jumping and not touching the walls with my feet at all, and just falling into the water.

Two things:

- Trampoline practice isn't everything. Rider could still nail it if he has enough power and coordination. Do you train those qualities, Rider?

- I don't think you should be so confident (Bada) since you don't seem to have that much power. You could very well hit the trampoline but not get the height and distance you need. I base this on the fact that David barely made it, there's no doubt in my mind that he's more powerful than you. He can jump over cars, man.

As for myself, I'm probably backwards compared to most of you. Most of you seem to worry about the jump, but I'm actually pretty confident in my power and coordination. Jumping has always felt very natural to me. I also have adequate power because of my strength and power training.

My concern is the spider climb itself. Crappy shoes + potentially being tired at the point = splash.

Oti: You pretty much said exactly what I said... I'm not confident I'd pass the jumping spider, my first post of "I'd never fail it >=D" was a joke obviously.

Then in my next post, I said the same thing as you. I said if I failed it, it'd be by not getting enough height/distance to the point where my feet never make contact with the wall.

Didn't even see that first post.

I would probably fail it by slipping on the actual spider part. The jump I could nail. I hope....

I'm 6' 2"..id probaby get crushed within the walls and not be able to extend outwards

i could clear it, because at my house i have the PERFECT walls for spider walking and I jump onto them and then spider walk exactly like the jumping spider, but in my current form, my arms and legs would come nowhere close to touching the walls. I'm 4 feet 7.5 inches.
