*Scissors Broad Jump*
Begin standing from a position with both feet together.
Jump forward and land on one foot. Bring the foot that
is in the air behind the foot you landed on and put that
foot down, kicking out the foot you were standing on.
Continue jumping forward with your other foot. Land on
one foot. Then jump forward as far as you can and land
on two feet. You have to land face forward. Keep your
balance! And remember that they start measuring from
the heal closest to the starting line.
The Eskimos used the scissor broad jump way before
the NYO. In this event, the landing is just as important
as the jump and is scored accordingly.
Developed balance and quick reflexes helped seal
hunters jump from one ice landing to another while
maintaining their balance on melting, shifting and
breaking ice.
