lol im almost in the same position, but so close to grabbing on the ring. i can touch it fine but not grab it. i was gonna make a thread saying the same thing lol. well yeh practice the things from the jump technique thread, they help. and ryano, by staic streching u just mean stretching 15 mins every day? ive got 2 weeks left on vjb so ill get a couple of inches hopefully but ill try streching too. one thing u can do is walk around on your heels for 10 mins. do that a couple of times a day, and when your just walking round, try and walk with your heels half an inch off the ground.
