Where to static hop from?

yes because you will need space to jump with more sideways momentum as
the height increases.




Not always.

Anyways, start close, have fun with it, and keep going further backto
see how far you can go and still make it.

Even though I have almost no height in my hop currently (I'm still a
relative newbie to uni), I would have to agree with Jerrick purely from
a physics point of view: theoretically, "sideways momemtum" can in no
way help you go higher. If you are trying to jump across a big gap,
then the optimal direction to launch is 45 degrees. If you are just
trying to go as high as possible, then any sideways movement is just
wasted energy: 90 degrees will get the most height.

Of course, this is all just from a highly simplified model of how the
body's physics works when jumping. Perhaps issues of coordination
start to come into play as the ledge gets higher and thus it is easier
to go back a bit further?

3-5 no prehop 6 or 7 with prehop is what I'd do

Yeah i realise that but the sideways momentum is needed to get you over
the edge of the pallet/object.
