Single Flip Jumps – Divers, Climbers and Rollovers

By FlipJumper | October 26, 2007

Probably the most obvious observation most people make when they first see the Flip Jump is that Divers are easier to do than Climbers, since Divers go down and Climbers go up, with Rollovers kind of neutral going straight across. In addition to the sheer physics of going up instead of down, you need to be much more precise in you’re pre-jump stacking the higher you’re climbing. It’s easy to smack a 116 into the side of the Catcher6 if it’s not stacked right, very tight.

This trick really starts to get fun when you start using more than a Jumper1 (one-chip Jumper). I like two chips, Jumper2, the best. The mass is just right for a nice controlled jump. Using a Jumper1 on a big climb can get a little wild and hard to control sometimes.

The following video is of a warm-up drill I like to do, a Jumper2 worked down a stack seven times. Three Divers, one Rollover and three Climbers.

As you start to use fatter Jumpers, (3,4,5 and more chips), again it gets harder the more chips you add. You’ll also notice that it begins to put more pressure on the Base, in a sideways direction, the more chips you’re jumping. If the Jumper stack gets too fat, it will blow the top off the Base and the trick will fail.

You’ll see in the following video that when I do a 532 that it pushes the top chips of the Base3 in the opposite direction from where the jump is going.

That’s it for now. Next time we’ll do some Combinations.

   Very cool trick. Never seen it done with more than one chip before.

   There are many variations with more than one chip, including combinations.
