  • One question...

    Why do all people jump with their left leg???

    I am the only one in my class who jump the the right leg... :(

  • @xXEisteeholikerXx For the same reason that most people write with their right hand, they are just wired that way!

  • You should have also shown Rosemarie Ackermann, first woman over 2.00, seven times WR setter, and last of the great straddlers.

  • @broadjumper1 Updated video shows Rosie Ackermann at the start.

  • what is the song??

  • @colema95 Everyday by Carly Commando

    I think the reason is if you use right leg, it is too close to the (stage)<--? and you probably can't turn your body to back to the (stick)<--? from side by side with it. You may jump with right leg when you stating run-up on the left of the stage but I don't know whether it is allowed under the game rules.

    Sorry for my poor English..My mother tongue is not English... Hope you understand what I am saying.

  • @billhj2 But some of them are right hand and right foot just like me.

    They still jump with the left foot... I don't understand...
