Longjump: Questions and answers

Sr if I ask again:

- Someone told that he can do 277, 278, 279 prestrafe. But I just can do 276 or below. I don't trust him. Can somebody tell me: What is the best prestrafe we can do when lj?

- What are the best distance for 4 strafe, 5 strafe, 6 strafe, and more...???

- I usually practise lj with the right direction (W + D). Sometimes I can do more distance, more maxspeed, more sync when lj on the left direction (W + A). But normally I do better with the right direction. Should I change to the left direction and train it?

you must be rly epic to get a 278 pre, max pre i've seen is 277, i don't think 279 is possible

Think I have seen 278 pre once.. don't think 279 possible though.

yeah its not possbile but 278 is poss fosho(even i did :D)

Searched around a little bit but couldn't find anything.

I don't have any problem with distances (averaging 253's with 80 or so sync)

My issue is with edging.. Sometimes I jump 12 units before, other times I jump 0.2 units before the edge.. Is there anyway to fix this; with the exception of the obvious "jump later, jump sooner"?

I can't seem to time when to jump without just running off the block or jumping too soon.

All about training.. try jumping on smaller blocks (220-230) and try to get the best edge possible and keep training until you edge is good almost every time. From there on it should be easier.

4. Ignore sync,anything over 70 is enough for 254+. Sync does not matter for distance,only for ms.

longjumping is very random imo. i've done 255 stats with 323 maxspeed and ~50 sync, and ive done 253 stats with 345 maxspeed 276 pre and like ~90 sync. its about strafes airtime n shit. but as i said,its quite random

Well,if you think logical it's true,more speed = faster in air = more distance but for some reason it's not working like that. I used to get like 251/max 253 with 343ms,8 strafes 90 sync and yet I got one of my only 255's with 332ms. If I think of it,all my good jumps were done with rather low sync than really high (70)

All this ms/sync stuff doesn't matter, it just shows what it was on that jump.
Everything is about the size, shape, speed of the strafes in general. Stats are there just to show how the jump came out.

Could somebody give me an advice how to improve my longjumps, please? When I could reach 247-249 units some months ago, I barely make 245 now. Are my strafes too slow? Too short? I'd appreciate some tipps.

[100aa question]

Bought a new 22 Fujitsu screen and changed table to another one. With old screen and table my LJs where 255+ and now i can barely do 250s but CJs are much better :S Is it just to get used to a bigger screen or am i just f*cking up my strafes somehow?

I need some tips on how to get a 320+ maxspeed, because it seems like it's the only thing keeping me away from 250+.

more strafes and move wider!
however, mx or sync is bullshit, skip it!

What is wierd is that I get 274+ prestrafe and I do 7 strafes with atleast 70 sync. And it just won't get me above 250+.

I have a question too .

Why before 1 month I could do 5-10 254's a day and if I'm lucky I do even 255 but now after we started school dunno why I barely do 254 ... its like 10-15 254's I've done since 1 month . Thought my last 255 is on 27th on September

How far can you longjump with 7 strafes 75-80 sync and MS 320? I barely reach 249 :/
