I find it good to practise these skills on the trampoline first with ankle weights attached. Good luck!!!

Try doing them without your bocks on first, then move to putting ankle weights on. this should make it easier to do on your stlits

My split looks bad if I don'd do this.

Post by: freakazoid on December 18, 2006, 05:52:46 PM: its funny that i can split kick without pro-jumps but when i try to do it with them on i can only get a few inches apart ???

Post by: Locky on December 18, 2006, 06:01:09 PM: Weird, I always thought a split kick was when you put one leg forward and one leg backward (see kiola's avatar). I guess thats from the skating world.

The pics here seem to be some sort of pike/splits combination which seems to be from the trampoline world.

Post by: pro-jumpingboy on December 18, 2006, 10:22:22 PM: I suppose it would be, as your kicking while getting it to the split
