Arm Action
Arms are very important for proper control and lift. Whenever you go up, your arms go up. They go
up to a set position about shoulder height and shoulder width. They should remain in this balanced
position until you start down. Then they circle down and slightly behind the hips, ready to lift again
as you bounce up (see Figure 1).

Bounce variations
Figures 2, 3 and 4 show three variations, the tuck, the pike, and the straddle pike respectively. These
should be assumed at the top of the bounce, before resuming the normal landing position on your
feet.
