Muscle memory is usually the best way for getting those long jumps smoother. If you can reliably get close without having to think, then you can spend the rest of that time thinking only about the landing instead of the distance (or if you've got the landing too, you can think about the musicality instead).", "user": "mathmaniac125" }, { "id": "1292827", "time": "1685400703", "html": "i learnt to play the ph intro on drums so im officially cooler than all of you", "user": "alexonline" }, { "id": "1292850", "time": "1685425625", "html": "What's ph?", "user": "ebag" }, { "id": "1292851", "time": "1685425862", "html": "potential of hydrogen", "user": "user64837" }, { "id": "1292853", "time": "1685425939", "html": "Huh.
