heres a new thread i made for you people out there.
today, i went out "treejumping" with my college.
this was all obstacle courses and stuff.
there was this certain point called the "leap of faith"
this was an exercise when you were fourty foot up, on a wobbly ledge, and you had a 2 metre gap for a laché that you had to make.
honestly, it scared the crap out of me.
i was shaking so badly that i had to wait for five minutes to make my move.
the point of my ramblings is that, how come when we train, we can do something easily at a 2 foot drop, but when its fifty foot up, we cannot pull ourselves to it?
surely when we train, we would KNOW that we could do the movement, and it would make no difference,
yet, we often cannot do it.
this is why, i feel we need to train differently.
train everything as if it had a plunge to the death, like daniel.
keep your head completely in the movement, and not in the outside world.
i hope my rambling has made sense to you.
i'll simple it down for you anyway.
when we train, we should be prepared for a circumstance when we need to be high up, and so it should make no difference to you whether its 50, or 2 foot.

EDIT:
this is a good read for you :-)
showing preperations for mevement.

, i wasnt thinkinng about the long term effect off dropping from high hieghts but still if you know how to land(not from 70 foot obviously) you can still drop from fairly high hieghts and that also sounds like something that i want to do-walking so high up and having to trust yourself and nobody else would be a great experience unfortunatly, there is no where in sthelens i can think off where i could do that
