Cheers, the thumbs could be the key. Although this

You do need to be quite flexible for this.

could be the stopper.

I'm only 5'7" so here we go. The ledge at the back has a bit of a step int it. Make sure your right toe goes in the slight scallop on the small step out.Then you should be able to reach the sloper with your right  foot still on. Now swing your left heel up and make sure you get a good heel and toe. Match hands and then move your left foot towards your hands a bit and then up you go. Bob's your uncle job done. :)

Sounds similar to what I've tried previously but I guess it's all about that right toe rather than heel-toes right in the back.  Cheers, will give that a go next time I'm there.

Can't remember exact sequence I'm afraid but I am short and am not flexible and I think I did it second go (look at me...).

GCW might have a video of it somewhere? I'll have a looksie...

GCW doesn't seem to have it on Vimeo anymore (I think he had some issue with his account??). But I've found a copy on my computer, I'll upload it tonight so you can have a look.

Harder for the short perhaps according to Oracle of Wisdom BenF...

Harder for the short but not harder than 7B.  Without wishing to sound like I'm moaning, I'm not, its clearly easier for the tall but a quality 7B for anyone less than tall.

I'd also dispute that Fight On Black is not suitable for the short.  It's again easier for the tall but bob on 7B and probably more fun for shorter people. Like many problems, shorter people get more moves and more fun...

cheers nik, similar to travs by the looks, might have to keep my feet on a bit more than you though.

Was that guy with you?  Could hardly have stood in a worse place if he tried
