Are there any tricks to sticking the landing? I always hear it is air awareness - but what can you do to increase air awareness? Any helpful drills that can be done? Thanks.
Hi, I was wondering if someone can educate me on the scoring/deductions of landings, like is there a difference between a step forward vs backward, big step vs small step, hop with two feet vs step, etc. Another question is landing with feet apart and squat. Our coaches were always very adamant...
