I personally like to use the scissors jump as a warmup (scissors, 3-step, 5-step, then full), but more importantly it's a good drill to get the jumpers...
I often use the scissors with young jumpers as a progressive skill block in trying to emphasis the upward drive ion the actual jump.I find it as an effective...
As with the other jumps, it is important that the hips are moving forward of the takeoff foot at the board. Is there any such technique with the hips at...
