Jump

A two footed hop while rolling: you crouch, spring up off flat skates, lift your knees and land on both skates with bent legs. Every grind, gap and spin starts with this.

1. Crouch

   Roll in the ready position and bend lower as you near the line.

   CueLoad up

2. Spring

   Push up off both flat skates at once.

   CueWhole skate

3. Tuck

   Lift your knees and keep the skates level under you.

   CueKnees up

4. Land

   Touch down on both skates with knees bent and keep rolling.

   CueSoft knees

1. IfPushing off with your toes.
   ThenSpring off flat skates; the stiff frame flips you if you rock onto toes or heels.
2. IfLanding on straight legs.
   ThenLand with bent knees and let your legs soak up the drop.
3. IfArms flying everywhere.
   ThenKeep your hands just below waist height and steady.
4. IfRolling up too slowly.
   ThenBring a bit of speed; slow skates wobble on landing.
