A (very) condensed form of this video is available on DVD with the 34U - Alive/Jump/Resonance DVD combo.
The one type of instructional video that we have been sorely lacking is a jumping video. Not any more. Tonix Pictures has seen to that with their latest production.
They teamed up with some of the best jumpers in the world like Francisco Goya, Levi Siver, Kevin Ponichtera, and Andy Wolf to bring us all levels of jumping instruction. The jumps are split into several sensible catagories beginning with proper gear setup for jumping, then on to first trying small chop hops. Things progress from there into higher and higher jumps off the wave face, nose and tail first landings, one handers, getting more and more tweaked, front, back and push loops, and finally, some really crazy stuff like doubles. You've got to check these guys out going for doubles. It's actually getting to be a viable maneuver (if you're Francisco Goya).
There's lots of high-end wave and jump action in this video too so don't expect a boring instructional. With a jumping video you'd better expect a lot of action since it is the most dynamic and thrilling side of the sport. The instruction is done in a primarily visual style with helpful voiceover instruction during the excellent slow-motion shots. The filming takes place mostly at jump heaven - Camp One near Sprecklesville on Maui. As such wave gear is used for the most part. This video will definitely inspire you to greater heights.
