How high did I jump?
Ok so I was riding around in my drive way today, to set up the scene, we have _two_ concrete steps leading up to our door, the total height is 18" and the total width is 13" So I used my awesome math skills and found the distance of the hypotenuse which is roughly 22.2". So my question: Is this considered jumping 18" or 22.2"? p.s. i finally mustered up enough courage to jump off a picnic table onto concrete. and i landed it  . :edit. Whoops I forgot to mention I did manage to get jump up them  .-- Joe2005 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Joe2005's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/13692 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/58524

If you want to know how high, then it's obviously 18". -- ivan Read me! thank you. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ivan's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/12759 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/58524

So you don't take the width into account it's strictly vertical height? -- Joe2005 *come to the dark side* we have cookies! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Joe2005's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/13692 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/58524

How high did I jump?
Well, not if you measure the height of the jump. You could say that you jumped 18" vertically and 13" horizontally, but usually people just leave out the horizontal one, because it rarely matters that much. You can still mention it if you want, of course. -- ivan Read me! thank you. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ivan's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/12759 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/58524

Thats pretty much what I figured but I found the jump much more difficult then onto a picnic table bench which is only 1/2" lower so I thought I'd ask. -- Joe2005 *come to the dark side* we have cookies! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Joe2005's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/13692 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/58524

It also depends on the style of jumping. I suppose a rolling hop would be of about equal difficulty for both of them, but a sideways hop would be more difficult with the steps, because you'd be able to stand right next to the bench for it, but would have to jump over the lower step and so clear more horizontal distance. It all depends. -- ivan Read me! thank you. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ivan's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/12759 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/58524
