Jump start

muscles, bones, joints and their actions. Before I perform my skill I jump over the rope twice quickly and then slowly once. To jump over the rope, I use flexion to bend my elbow joint, moving my radius and ulna in a circular motion from my elbow joint and my shoulder joint uses circumduction to bring the rope over my head. My bicep brachii allows me to flex my elbow to perform this skill. I flex both my knee joints to prepare to jump the rope and to gain power. My hamstrings allow me to bend my…

only I prevailed. I didn’t come about this title easily. It took an immense amount of days to even be able to jump in. You see, everyday at recess all the girls would leap for the bucket of jump ropes. We all loved to sing our nursery rhymes and see who could jump the longest and I was nowhere near the best.

There's 15 of us and we are all squished into two cars. We get in the front gate and I start to get excited. I can’t wait to slide down the rocks. We drive around the parking lot for awhile trying to find a parking spot. We find one and we all pile out of the cars. I get out and put on some sunscreen. It’s super…

library one day, I turned to a page titled “Advanced Jumps”. I was about twelve, and I was not nearly ready for most of the jumps on that page, especially the second hardest one, a lutz jump. I had seen a lutz before, and I knew that it was the second hardest single jump besides an axel, which has an extra half rotation.

It is when you run until the board (white line) that you are going to jump from. These are one of the favorite field events that people like to watch.…
