    Read both posts, I think i have an issue with finding a suitable vein, and then watching it disappear when i pull traction.
    It is, of course, obvious that speed, or height of fall, is not in itself injurious ... but a high rate of change of velocity, such as occurs after a 10 story fall onto concrete, is another matter.

    Pull straight back. It may disappear. Hitting veins that you can't see is more useful than hitting ones you can. Itll take time. I still miss. Some days I can hit the hardest veins, and other days I can't frop the If and hit the ground.


    One other note: if you blow an EJ, never go to the other side.

    Congrats bud! That's awesome!

    Light a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life!

    Cat's are food... not friends!
