Best thing is to try it in small stages, increasing the gap between your legs each time. Have you tried doing a straddle/split jump on a trampoline before. They're good places to learn.

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

it takes alot of stretc to do soething like that.. you would have to do stretches every day for at least 2 weeks to get your legs that far apart

Keep Bocking

Even so I was to understand that you can only improve your legs by about 12% via training. If you kept flexible as a kid by dance or gymnastics or Karate or other leggy sport then thats a gift. I'd LOVE to be more flexible.

You are quite right Arthur, the actual term is "hyper extended"...

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

A split jump looks much better if you split jump and then lift your feet in front as you do in a pik but still spread your legs as far aparet as possible.
My split looks bad if I don'd do this.

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

Locky · « **Reply #14 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.

I suppose it would be, as your kicking while getting it to the split

freakazoid · « **Reply #18 on:** January 09, 2007, 01:37:16 PM »

i have a new trick and its easy to do....its called the "lampost kiss"
1) take a run up
2) jump
3) call 999 and ask for ambulance (after "kissing the lampost")

Kiola · « **Reply #19 on:** January 09, 2007, 10:24:07 PM »

.. oh wait.. that might hurt a bit $:-\$

jumpin jak · « **Reply #20 on:** January 09, 2007, 10:56:43 PM »

a variation on the lamppost kiss, lamppost hug!
1) run up and kanga jump as far up the post as u can.
2) continue to call 999 from there
more painfull and just as funny
