Understandable, as the Juliette answer is now very obscured by all my show jumpings jargon and ramble. It's such a fascinating topic. I love learning more about jumpings. I think with hibou, scooter and other jumping riders hanging around, we will learn even more, the 'real deal'. All that I know about it is from years of trying to understand the results tables! I think I am too old now to try it, and maybe I don't want to anyway, because it looks so hard! I read a book about it once and I was amazed at how much you must understand geometry to be really good at it?!

Did you know it? I didn't! The objective, apparently, is to make three perfect 45-degree angles: in the approach, the jump, and the landing!! That is the key to a "perfect" jump, apparently! Cool huh? Or maybe it's just me! I am so weird like that....
