Or are there ways to make the jackknives harder, like push up variations, but for the jackknife?
Aha! I just watched that YouTube video linked to above, and he says to do it one-legged after you master the two. I'll have to try that; anyone done it? Am I going to go flying?

Is the pike (the first youtube link) easy for you as well? I've heard people say that going all the way until only your toes are on the ball in that version makes it a lot harder.
