jumping

guess what i found out. i found out i can jump about 17 and a half ft in the long jump.

holy shit man, awesome!

some guy can press buttons faster than me, well not technically, he slides his fingers across the button and it registers more. i have a twitch that i can make it so i press buttons really fast. faster than anyone i know.

i am only 15 too. i really want to time myself in the 100M dash, i can then find out how fast i can actually run, well very close to what i can run.

you knwo what i want to do. make a video of me running a mile, the 100M dash, and doing long jump. i dont know what i look liek when i am doing these haha. it would be funny to watch. i should also make a video of me pressing buttons on a controller.
Now that would literally be a "speed run".

I'm a little past my athletic prime, but I used to clear over 20ft in the long jump, and my fastest 100m dash was 11.3 seconds. Unfortunately, neither scores were good enough to qualify for state finals for my high school's class.
Never ran the mile though (that's just way too much running).

someone on twingalaxies mentioned rubbing your finger accross the buttons and they say it is faster than actually pushing the buttons. i dont understand how doing it any way could result in getting better scores than me in Track and Field 1 for NES. i got 9.3 seconds in the 100M with one finger.

WOW!!! well i am only 15, so i might improve. i think i can run the 100M dash in about 12-13 seconds or so....

I tried that once but when I stopped I realised I'd been doing it so fast I had burnt my finger. Was left with a blister. Won't be trying that one again.

how exactly did you do it?

I can't remember what game it was (one of those athletic ones) but I was using the dreamcast pad. I was basically just rubbing the button so it was moving up and down real quick. I suddenly became aware my finger had gotten hot and when I looked at it I'd taken a bit of the skin off. It was a real pain to write for the next week. I think that is the only video game injury I've ever had. Always hated those button bashing games anyway.

those are pretty much my favorites. i have never seen anyone press buttons faster than me, but i am sure there are people, i will have to try that.

i do both the Weasel arm and the rub thingie.

How much is that in meters again?
I jumped 5.95 meters back in the old days in school. How many feet are that? (Too lazy to calculate...)

17 feet = 5.1816 meters

5.95 meters = 19.5209974 feet

2 feet more than me. i last measured myself back in july.

In about a week, i think i am going to try to beat my longjump record, if i can find a longjump area. I wonder if i've improved.
