The Limits of Rotation Momentum
There are limits to how much force you can be able to produce and how high you can beable to jump. The more of that you get as you take off, the fast you should be able to go in the air. But generally, what we've seen when we've studied people is the more you put into generating rotation momentum, generally your jump hight suffers a little bit. It's hard to when yo're learning something new, ti work on sort of two things at once. That would really be like four and a half with the tow loop, exactly, exactly. T which is almost a quadaxle, exactly exactly. Ts, not got to be an upper limit,
