I’ve been trying to do table hopping for a while now and while I like the results, it’s really more of an art than a science. I’ve experimented with different types of tables, the most common ones being old fashioned and contemporary, along with glass and wood. I’ve had more luck with the former than the latter.
You can find quite a few tables on Craigslist, but it is a very specific set of skills that you need to practice in order to succeed. There are a million different options for doing it, and the more methods you use to practice them the more you’ll end up with.
I think a good first step is to have a few different tables in various locations. The first step is to find a place that you want to do a table hop at. For this you can use a car, a bus, or a boat. It’s not necessary that you own a fancy table. You can just buy a cheap one and get started. The trick is to not just hop at random places and be disappointed. You do need to practice the various methods.
A good starting point is to pick a location and hop at it. For my next table I was going to be sitting in front of a car. I had a list of places I wanted to go to, but I thought it was a waste of time to make a list of every single place I would hop at. The good part about this is that by getting out into the world and practicing, youll end up with a list of places you actually know.
The process of table hopping is similar to the previous trick, but instead of the other person hopping at random, you’ll just hop at random. For my next table I thought I’d be jumping over the dining chairs and tables at my table. I was really thinking about this until I realized that I would have to drop my chair or have a table fall on my chair.
It’s a lot of fun. You’ll have to be very careful though. If you don’t drop your chair or table, you’ll end up crashing your chair on your table. So you might want to practice taking it slow and not making yourself fall.
The best way to practice is to have someone else practice you. And that someone else might be me. So now I’m practicing jumping over random chairs and tables.
My favorite way to do this is to have a couple of tables laid out on the floor and then play with them while I am still trying to fall. Its basically just a quick, easy game to teach you the ropes.
I always try to get the table into the best position I can, and then I try to aim for the table’s top corner. Once the table is in the right position, I just aim for the table’s edge, and try to keep my hands low and my arms loose.
Jumping over tables is like jumping over a bunch of little pieces of wood. It’s a simple, basic, and fun game that can have you practicing your balance and balance while practicing your jumping skills.
