The Lesson

Demonstrate a good landing on the edge of a curb, jumping from the ground with both feet at the same time and landing both feet at the same time.

You must jump from a minimum of five heel-to-toe steps or greater. Mark the distance on the ground with a marker/chalk/item.

You must Land on the ball of the big-toe as the impact point, on the front edge of the landing target.

You must stick the landing, which requires you to have complete control of your balance once you have landed. This also means that after the initial contact of the feet, you cannot shuffle or move them from that point.

A good bend on the ankle, knee and hip where muscle contraction is being used to maintain balance.

You cannot fall forwards or backwards after landing.

You must repeat five times.
