A preview of what's to come... 7 feet is easy

I started working on a 7 step approach on Monday after using a 5 step one. It was certainly an interesting practice. I marked where my 3 and 5 step marks are, and found the distance between those points. I took that distance and moved it back and out (from the 5 step mark) the same amount. My intention was to find a rough spot to start for a 7 step approach. However, what happened next was very interesting. I started a run through (which I didn't record) where I had no intention of jumping (at 7 feet) but half way through it just felt right so I jumped and cleared it by a few inches. This is my 2nd jump at the height, the 2nd time ever using this approach. The plant is crooked but it's probably hard to see on the small screen. This jump was a mess in several ways, but I still cleared 7 with ease. I took 15 jumps at 7'0 and 13 stayed. I'm curious where this'll be in a month or 2. I can't even begin to say how much still needs to change.

all in fun- my only point is that the dude can ^ f'n jump! u made the dink-head no shirt comment... that's only fair- if he had a huge swastika tattoo or something offensive, that would have made sense- i just call it like it is man!
