| Basic Technique |
| The first thing you should know is that you must always stretch well before attempting any stunt or even jump. Next, don't try to do complicated techniques as a beginner. Try simpler stunts and jumps before moving on to more advanced moves. For example, before you try to be a flyer, be a base. Likewise, before you try to do a toe-touch, do a tuck jump. Also, the key to great jumps is flexibility. Stretching daily will help make you more flexible. |
|
| The Prep This is a very basic thing to learn, yet a very important element in a successful jump. 1) Stand up straight with feet together and arms in the table-top position.. 2) Move your arms up to a high-v while pushing through your feet to stand on the balls of your feet. 3) Swing your arms in a circular motion, pushing through your feet, to give your jump height. |
| Stretching 1) To warm up, do a few of these -high kicks -tuck jumps -heel stretches 2) Try to hold each of these stretches for at least 20 seconds -stradles -splits -pike stretch -lunge There are other stretches that can help you warm up, but I prefer these |
