Genie Jump in slow motion

Im not sure what other schools call this jump, but we call them genie jumps. Its very closely related to the bicycle but with only 2 hits and is usually done in place or in a spin. the only thing i would critique on the video is the flat landing and on the first jump, both heels should be hitting your bum- aka getting the "genie" look to it.

again my sister modeling the jump.

nice! i am not doing them yet, but trying to get the hang of it. I cant seem to move my legs very fast when im up in the air which makes no sense because i have huge leg muscles. these are cool, but i wish i could do them

@RebiTitanic when I was still dancing, my teacher would have us hold onto a folding chair and break it down in pieces- jump up with knees crossed and back- then keep trying till you get that and then work up. Believe me, it took a very long time to finally be able to do them :) the hardest part is jumping high enough to fit it all in before you land lol

I like your name for this jump! In our school we just call it stupid :) You do it very well and I love the way you slowed it down and repeated it.

Genie jump. I like that better than bicycle jump! :D nice job! How long did it take you to get them like that?

Nice jump! This really helped me understand it. My school calls them bicycles but I think Genie is a better name :P
