Hey guys! I am a huge track and field person! I absolutely love it!
Iv been doing long jump for the last four years, and I was wondering what techniques you use when you jump?
Any suggestions on how to better your jumps?

I try to slant so my feet are out in front of me, but not too much because if you fall backwards, they measure where your head lands!

Besides just marking where to start from, when I did it i always counted steps. Also, I always try to be accelerating when I jumped, and relax in mid-air, not just hit the jump going as fast as I can and tense up.
