Really struggling on Rumble jump. Did it once but think rope drag helped. Touch the hold most times but dont seem to be able to have the reflex to grab it for some reason. Going to tape up next time as took a chunk out. Any other tips for holding jugs on dynos ?
Not sure if this is a days, weeks, or months to recover job as yet.
Any other tips for holding jugs on dynos ?

I'm crap at dynos so when I did Rumble I went down to Rubicon to that traverse bit to warm up. After doing some juggy stuff I'd make up a load of random boulder problem dynos to be as similar to the one on Jungle as possible, that way my confidence was high, my eye was in and my shoulders properly warmed up! Really worked for me anyway.

Dynos tend to feel easy when you do them, so it is possible to fall into the trap of doing it once and thinking "that's easy, lets do this thing". When you'd actually be better spending a bit more time working the move so it is really dialed in.Another thing is people often overjump dynos, they try too hard to get distance and don't concentrate on good form and efficient body positioning. You're not trying to break high jump records when dyno-ing, instead you're trying to reach the hold you're going for moving as slowly (gently?) as possible in as mechanically beneficial direction as possible. You may think the hold is a big jug (I know nothing about the route so can't comment) but if it is sharply positive then it will be difficult (and potentially damaging) to stick, the slower you're moving when you latch it the better. Without knowing a bit more about the move in question it's hard to give any more specific thoughts, but Tommy's suggestion of practicing similar moves is good. The ideal would be to practice "the move" a lot, but if that's ripping your hand to pieces better getting your eye in elsewhere then rinsing when you're firing on all cylinders.That'll be £54.87 plus your VAT less your discount
S: AM. Tried to drive to Kilnsey......Firstly I run into the sheff half marathon. Fine! I'll follow the diversion to get to the M1. Oh! there's a shedload of traffic and the diversion signs run out, oh ok! I know the way out of the city, oh! the marathon goes there too. Ok! fine I'l...l go to junction 33, bit of a detour but fine, oh running low on fuel better stop for petrol, no problem. Right! back onto the parkway what do you mean the junctions closed? You mean I have to drive back into sheff get stuck in marathon traffic again and end up pretty much back where I started at over an hour beforehand? Bastards!! Talk about conspiring against me going to Kilnsey! Sacked it off, went home, sat on sofa until I calmed down.
