What determines how long will the jump be?
Alright so I've been playing kreedz for about 2-3 years with a long break in between. I've seen a lot of youtube clips with people jumping with exactly same stats as me or even worse and able to hit 255+ every jump. My pre is kind a bad but even with 274-275 pre and 340+ maxspeed and 90% sync I can't seem to achieve 255. My best is 254.8 with bad maxspeed and pre.Here is a demo of my ljrecord and my random lj tonight that I did and I can say I got pretty sick maxspeed and sync.
What makes my ljrecord jump better than these that I've jumped today? The maxspeed is certainly worse same with the pre and sync.

check your airtime , as long as you have less airtime you will jump further
u better post screenshots and ppl will help

you have bad airtime on first strafe, both on first two pictures and you have better airtime on the last screen. I think that's the reason.
How do I improve that? I've done some research about airtime and there was a blog that said you need equally spread airtime on all strafes around 12-13 and the most airtime should be on your last strafe. I manage to get like 18 airtime lowest on my first strafe but I end up losing all the maxspeed ( around 320 maxspeed only). Seems quite hard even with slowmo
Try to release D as fast as you can after you jump.
Try to keep ur gain per strafe in around 8-12 and if u want to know whats is the best airtime for ur strafes just divide 100/numbers of strafes u r doing and try to work on it :D
Just thought I'd update this thread. My airtime is pretty much the same again it goes from 22% down to 19% very rarely I get less than 19. I've literally tried everything to fix this issue yet I have not succeed. I did approve my maxspeed by a lot I sometimes hit around 350 maxspeed and I finally got 256 2 days ago. No improvement on the airtimes at all. I noticed a thing though that If I end up with lets say low prestrafe ( around 260 ) my airtimes are kind a better but that leaves me with low distance jump. Here are some snapshots of my best jumps currently.
PS: Why is the second jump less than the first I keep wondering about that. The maxspeed is waybetter aswell as the sync and the pre difference is minimal 0.2 units. The first strafe airtime is minimal difference aswell and the last strafe airtime is way better at 2nd jump.

Sync and maxspeed is not a big deal in longjumping, and btw you are playing with 100aa... But anyways, it's possible to jump 256 with less than 330 maxspeed and also to not do it with over 345. It's all about the airtime :> (10aa)
Yeah it's 100aa however with 10aa I would only imagine it way worse. It's just so hard to reduce it i've tried doing 9+ strafes yet it won't go any lower than 18-19 very very rarely it goes down to 17 but not below that.

change your prestrafe style
I actually tried that like hour ago seems to help but also it looks like I trade one thing for another ( maxspeed for airtime ). Anyways thank you.
Another update. I sort of "fixed" airtime although my maxspeed got quite rubbish together with sync but I seem to get few more good jumps. However back to the thread name I can't explain this one...

How come the second jump is so low? With those stats I'd guess it's atleast 255 and I wouldn't be surprised if you can easily hit 258 with the second jump. Airtime/maxspeed is a huge difference between those 2 jumps. Getting mindblown right now.
Probably your strafes are too wide or not fast enough for their width. Turn /ljbeam on and see. You are gaining maxspeed but losing some distance.
