yep, definitely the balls of your feet, more control, more impact resistance and the ability to move on to the next movement effectively.

when jumping long distance angle your legs slightly forward to give you a small bit of extra reach your forward momentum will push you on ballance when you land although make sure the surface is not slippy

This really does help but makes controlling the jump and absorping the impact a lot harder. If you can always try to come down onto the object. Thats why the importance of jumping upwards is so huge.

something i'd like to say,
when training precisions, you may often have trouble sticking them, and this is mainly due to posture when landing. if you land feet together, you have a high centre of gravity, and less stability. if you land with your legs seperate (about shoulder width), you have a lower centre of gravity and higher control in the movement

very true^. sometimes i will land a precision with an extra wide and low landing, ( as in feet more than shoulder width. ), so as to control the landing more effectively. you should experiment with this.

too true ;D landing with fee together really improves blance with practice - as man areas around me are about 2 bricks thick precise

I always land on the balls of my feet- it gives more control over your balance.

Ant you are a genius as me and a mate were debating the precision jump technique of landing with feet apart or together and you have solved it. However I find that the best distance is apart hip width as shoulder with tends to be a too wide when you go from precision to (feel free to imput move here). But that might be best suited to me as i find that I have more control, speed and fluidity.

hi, i really liked the way of presenting precision jump i.e having a small video at the bottom,thats really cool.im a beginner i was reaaly questioned when i saw the topic,but this video gave a clear idea about it.i request all traceurs to post int he same way,so that beginners like me can really get benifitted.

'I think therefore I am'. So if you think you're going to miss you will, so dont think

i regularly practice by jumping the large rocks outside my house. there are lots around a field to stop gypsies parking their vans on the field, and i use the rocks at least once a week. great for precision jumping and running leaps from one uneven surface to another. i find landing on the ball of by foot, the toe end, works best for me.... however, i broke an ankle last february and would love to hear advice on such a topic. funny how doctors are becoming so familiar with us traceurs now XD for the running leaps i find that the toe landin works best, and running off the ball of the toe. that said, im running over boulders that are about three to four feet apart.
my limit at the moment for forward leaping (from a standing start) is just over seven feet, which is about half a foot taller than i am.

My precision jumps have improved at a ridiculous rate since I started training a year ago. Gradual build up definitely helps and find locations that allow you to gradually increase the distance of your jump is incredibly helpful. I've got to the point now where I'm moving onto fairly big jumps, especially for my size (5ft 3) and because I've built up gradually I'm more confident about landing them and therefore tend to land them fairly well first time with very little risk of injury.
