Straight Jump

Trick ID: 077

Description

Swing out and back to the platform. Make a very small set at the platform and break just later than for a swing. Allow your legs to come forwards again and then sweep back again just before the peak so that you rise up vertically (as if standing up). Let go at the peak to catch.
