Hi Denis, Obviously I have no idea what Jorgen is doing, right or wrong, from a single email. Also - being honest - I have no idea if he is too far out, too...
I know this is an old message, but are these j heels actually allowed as i have a big competition coming up next week and im unhappy with my high jump spikes...
You shouldn't have a problem as long as the combined thickness of the shoe + Jheel doesn't exceed the maximum thickness allowed by the rules Denis Doyle ... ...

It is not an advantage at all. I do this and I am 36 now. I have never been able to correct this and it is a matter of technique. Some of the best jumpers in...
