To start measure from where you jump from, not a board:
Jump from a 6 step. Write it down.
Jump from a 8 step. Write it down.
Jump from a 10 step. Write it down.
Jump from a 12 step. Write it down.
Jump from a 14 step. Write it down.
Jump from a 16 step. Write it down.
Jump from a 18 step. Write it down.
Jump from a 20 step. Write it down.
etc.
When you stop improving, length of run is 2 steps longer because of carrying a pole..and if you really are into it chart it on a line chart and see the differences.
