some seriously cool stuff in here

I'm enjoying this thread very much...
Lar, For some reason it appears as if the squash happens
before he hits the ground,
while in reality it should happen
because he hits the ground ...
also, he's thumping man ... i'd rather see it be a relaxed bounce ...
squash and stretch are the keywords for animations like this

see below image this applies to inplace hopping as well
