Correct Execution
- guide one leg up and bend it
- bring the knee outwards and the ankle up
- now touch the ankle with the opposite hand
- bring back the leg quickly
- a moment, before the foot touches the ground, push yourself off the ground with the other leg
- guide the bent knee up and touch the ankle again with the opposite hand
- afterwards, go over to the next jump
