Visualize! I can never get anything down until I can picture myself doing it. Stretch REALLY well before you try - you need to be stretched! Look up when you're leaping - it's an automatic inch higher! not lying. Trying putting two chairs next to each back to back. Go in between them, supposrt yourself by holding the back, push yourself into the air, and go for it! It'll help you get the momentum. And when you're cacheing (dont know how to spell that. haha) make sure you get a DEEP plie!

If you work at it, I'm sure you'll get it!

are your regular leaps high enough?
first make sure your regular leaps are as high as possible

and just keep bending your knees and practicing

practice makes perfect
