AS far as l know, no one using
other than the California style has
ever been able to jump higher than
2 meters, about Sc feet.
What is it that makes the Cali
fornia style so good?
We find it through analyzing the
idea of the high jump.
Let us imagine the jumper to be
s feet tall. When he stands upright
on the floor the center of gravity
of his body, is almost exactly 3
feet above the floor. II he could
turn around this center to put his
body in horizontal position he
would lie horizontally feet above
the floor without having jumped at
ALL
Horizontal on Passing Bar.
II. instead. he should jump 3
feet from the floor. the lowest point
of his body would still he only 3
feet from the floor. This proves that
the main point for a high jumper is
to place himself In a horizontal po-
sition when passing the bar, and
that the sitting position is by no
means the hest one.
When q high jumper WHOSE center
of gravity is 3 feet above the floor
jumps 3 feet. and at the same time
turns his body into horizontal po-
sition, he will be almost 6 feet
above the floor without having really
jumped more than feet. This is
the idea of the California style.
What is left to discover is the best
method of turning the body hori-
zontally as 1t moves upward. This is
the difficulty Osborne has solved per.
fectlv. His method not only allows
