    More questions again 🙂 

    @waylow , if you get a chance, could you take a look at my last post please, and also one more question I have regarding the body meachanics course: 

    I noticed this issue when I didn the stomp jump, and it has become more troublesome in the rivet jump that I am currently doing – regarding the feet at take off and landing, which do you use to get the feet to smoothly peel off the ground and then flatten out as they hit the ground on landing again without penetrating the floor and aslo to look natural? The toe pivot, the foot roll or the actual foots rotation? 

    Nomatter how many times I watch the timelapses of you doing it, I cant figure out whats going on exactly. My instinct is to use the toe pivot, as that naturally pivots from the front of the foot, which is how you land when you jump and your toes touch first. The actual foor rotation seems to cause big issues with penetration , and im not sure about the foot roll , because it only pivots from the ball of the foot. 

    Im kinda feeling that the foot roll may be good for take off , and the toe pivot for landing, or maybe even a combination of the two for both, but frustration has got the better of me so I am coming on here to ask the correct way to do it 🙂 

    Thanks if you or anybody else can spare the time to answer this. I am going to practice some walk cycles in the mean time.
