Over the last couple of days I've had some time to practice as I'm on vacation. I've made quite some improvements even though I think it wasn't the practice itself but the continuity that made me make two things I wasn't able to do before.
The first is the milestone as I like to call it. In April 2014 I managed to get on it for the first time but since then haven't managet to get back down again being afraid of the static hop to rear and the drop after it. The funny thing is that I've always tried to get onto the stone with a Pedal Up and now I found out by accident that rolling onto it, is much nicer and easier.
The second is dropping down from heights higher than 1.20m. The wall in the video is about 1.75 and I have been practicing this pretty much every day, progressing a lot by taking heights step by step. The technique isn't very nice but it was more about overcoming the fear of this height rather than the actual impact on the ground, which is very rough. I think once the fear is wiped away, the technique that I know on lower heights, will also apply for higher ones.
