There is a skill in Dance and Gymnastics called The Traveling Russian. Its basically like a middle split leap. If you don't know how to do it, Then I'm going to tell you how.

EditSteps

  1. 1
    Warm up. You will need to stretch out. You can start by doing lunges, splits, or anything else you would like to do to get ready.
  2. 2
    Run at the beginning. Starting your Traveling Russian, you'll need to run like a couple steps. More like a jog and don't run too fast because you'll need to stop. When you finish running, make sure that one foot is in front of you and both feet aren't together.
  3. 3
    Have your feet in position. One foot will need to be in front of you because thats the food your gonna jump off of into your Traveling Russian. Remember when you jump, don't jump into the floor you need to jump off the floor. Your feet need to bounce off the floor into the Traveling Russian
  4. 4
    Jump off the foot that is in front of you. When you jump up into the air, don't leap or take a big step because a Traveling Russian is a middle split leap. When you do your Traveling Russian, you will need to cross your wrists and uncross them. Its like your wrists cross and then sway as you throw your arms across both sides of you.
  5. 5
    Land. Make sure the foot you jumped off of goes behind you, not in front of you. So, its run, jump off the in front foot, Traveling Russian "Middle Split Leap" and face forward, wrist sway, and keep looking forward and your foot goes behind your other foot.

EditTips

  • You should really be warmed up, do as many splits, leaps, lunges and anything else as much as you can.

EditWarnings

  • You should try it all a couple times, because I didn't get it the first time I tried doing it.
  • Don't do too much too fast because you might get injured.
