you cannot post an avi inline.
you have to make a link to a download page or something.

you have too many keyframes in there...when he lands, notice how his leg shakes..
try to smoothen it.

Very nice! A bit short, though.

A bit hard too see whats really going on, bacause of the perspective... Some things I do see though.

You said you wanted to add weight to the char, but quite frankly I think you missed that. The speed is too even in this animation. Try adding more time when he hangs in the air. Remember the old bouncing-ball animation test you probably did in Viborg? This is the exact same thing here...

The animationposes are too symetric. I bet if you would do a megajump you would not do a jump setting off with both legs at the same time, but rather use one leg as the major force for the jump. Arms are too symetrical. Both in start and landing.

The recovery time should be longer. You would expect quite some recovery time from a impact like that. Use the arms to take off the impact.

Also if the character is supposed to be snaking after the jump, there is is no need to make him raise before going into sneak-mode. And if that is supposed to be a reaction instead of a raise, then it's poorly done.

The knees shakin' in the end is probably some ik-setup thing. Still using the old system setup or have you made one yourself? Using Max4 maybe? Some nice IK in the new release Anyway you should finetune the settings to get rid of that jitter...

Hope this helps a bit.
