In my opinion, the big problem with scissors jumping in warm-up is not jumping with this style in itself, it is with the use of a curved approach when...
When we do scissors jumps its always 3-step on a straight line (I notice I never mentioned the number of steps before). Again, as I've tried to clarify, we...

Indeed, the inner leg...! I once wondered why we should use the outer leg in the flop. With straddle and scissors it is natural (obliged) to use the inner...
