1. Same
I'll check with my partners, then the table. I mentally note (self-talk) the correct colors going the correct directions, slightly modifying the Billy Mac technique. I gave up the verbal a while ago. To me this is the same as carrying a whistle in the pocket to keep track of the AP. That is not to say that there's anything wrong with it, it's just not for me.
2. Same
I used to take big strides to get into the circle until someone pointed out how silly it looks, so now I stroll. Tweet, spit it out, cool-guy walk.
3. Same-ish: I'm only 6' 0"
I tell the jumpers I'm going give it a couple of bounces. This is to back 'em up and avoid the JMF treatment. Two or three bounces and up she goes with as minimal a pause as possible.
My goal is a knuckle ball going up...
