Jump

sport. Show jumping is played when a rider is to jump a course of fences on horseback in an acute amount of time. The jumps can vary in size from one foot to five feet. The rules of show jumping are very strict and require a large amount of skill. Consequently, faults can be given to competitors for knocking down a pole, jumping over the time limit, or getting injured. Faults are categorized by 1 to 4 points depending on how well the rider jumps. If a rider gets more than 12 faults or 8…

“Are you alright, Aarushi?” My mom questioned, she was mortified when she saw me limping across the pale floor, crying to get to her. She briskly ran towards me, along with my dad trying to help me get to the nearest bench. I was crying, my right foot felt like hot, gushing lava, burning from the inside out, constructing everything to feel like a third degree burn. Suddenly, everything in the world turned black. It was five fifty in the evening, cautiously waiting for it to turn six, afterwards…

jumping height, force from takeoff, and the landing force. This way Mr. Smiley could go out and gather frogs and test them until he singled out the best frog for him to use in his bets. Mr. Smiley taught the frog that he caught in the story on how to jump higher, but if someone else were to have a more athletic frog than Mr. Smiley he could’ve easily been beaten because Smiley didn’t measure his frogs height from jumping and didn’t really know for a fact that he was the highest jumping frog in…

We all react differently to the things that happens in our lifetime. While the certain events that take place do not define us as people, the way we react to those events do. Like for example, reacting to accidents. Accidents are a great example for this because they are almost completely at random. No one can ever predict or prevent from making accidents, it’s just human nature. While saying that, there are always 2 ways to react to an accident that has just happened. There is always a positive…

Birthdays are always special. Whether celebrated or not, one’s birthday will forever be a reminder of life and growth. I always like to celebrate my special day with friends and family. Cliché, I know. Which is why for my 18th birthday I decided to get risky. Thrill rides and adventures have always fed my soul, but going to an amusement park seemed overplayed. I wanted to do something new and exciting. Skydiving seemed like the perfect avenue for what my inner thrill-junkie craved. It was…

Hey, I’m Gracie and I’m in 8th grade and I just got done reading about your story in the maze. I have many questions for you and about your decisions you made in the Glade and on the way out of the maze. When you first were in the box what were you thinking as you were rising? Knowing me, I would have been freaking out about not knowing anything and why I was even in there in the first place. You just seemed so calm and cool with it. Also, I think that figuring out everything about the Glade…

floated up above a cluster of pines. “Come on, then. Down we plunge,” said Finn. “You don’t mean jump…Do you?” Grace stared back with alarm. “I can’t!” Finn hooted with laughter. “Of course not! We’ll use the stairs,” prancing through a patch of wildflowers, Finn revealed a spiraling set of stairs cut into the side of the cliff, just to the left of them. “And you thought we were going to jump,” he cackled once more. “Hurry up now, it’s almost dark, and I’m starving!” Shooing them ahead,…

vaulters stance is the set up in preparation to begin accelerating towards the platform. The 40 meter dash while holding the large pole is a phase known as approach.

The jump follow through occurs when the pole vaulter lances themselves straight up in order to clear the bar. During the entire event the pole vaulters body is enticed in play by play action where every muscle takes…

Not all Medals are made of Metal An icy and bitter mist surrounded me. The sun had secreted behind piles of looming clouds, while droplets of water dispensed from the sky. The track bore a vast expanse of puddles, and runners plunged their way through them. I was sitting in the dewy grass underneath the canopy of our tent. Rain trickled down the stadium steps as I heard the booming announcer eagerly bellow, “Welcome ladies and gentlemen to the 2016 State Track and Field Meet.” My heart began to…
