The new tips I learned from

@Alexander Robinson

made a huge difference — I can kong over obstacles smoothly and confidently.

Reminder of the new tips:

Instead of pushing your hands at the beginning of the table for a kong, reach out to the far end of the table (essentially called a "dive kong" or "reach kong".

Doing this helps you scale over long distances much easier than the basic kong. Basic kongs are best for pre's and kong hurdles. Dive kongs are best to cover long distances.

It's scary trying this dive kongs because it's new to me. It's like taking a leap of faith with my body straight like a pencil flying over a table.

To help break this down, I needed to scale back my moves and progressively build myself back up. You can see in my videos where I needed to break it down into pieces and then put it back together again. HOWEVER, I notice I need less power and can glide over the tables easier.

I want to build myself up to complete my hit list move "dive konging over the whole table", but, similar to what Alexander told me, I want to start with a smaller table and then try the full one I want to aim for.
