up hill running (jumping)

[tinyman]

Hey Sefton, let me know where you're racing next - this technique I've got to see

[Brotherton Lad]

It's nothing new, I've seen it used by the International Rescue team on Thunderbirds.

[skennaugh]

Nope. Still think it's just strange.

[Grouse]

If you need a picture then have a look at that muppet er puppet on the Grasmere Guides race thread.

[SEFTON]

Haha...this is great! I bet you all think I'm mad

I can assure you it would'nt look that strange (just difficult to discribe)

wish I had'nt said anything now

Actually, I do know what you mean. Using your arms and shoulders to shift your body weight upwards before your legs drive on up. I call it bounding. You can see videos of free rock climbers doing it, the body moves first, the legs follow.

[Brotherton Lad]

Mind you, orang-utangs have a similar style too.

Ah now I get it - like a sack race but without the sack

Wow that must be the most inefficient way of getting up a hill since Chris Moyles and the rest of those t**ts walked up Kilimanjaro.

Have you got long arms? or maybe your a gym monkey and your arms are more muscular than your legs, you know like the old HeMan figures.
