How to do a Herkie Jump - Tutorial

[@larissalong509]

After watching all hese cheer videos, I am not sure what a herkie is anymore.

[@faye2417]

Also, most cheerleaders are taught to bend their knees when they clap, then straighten them when they put their arms up, this makes it look prettier and gives us more power and height in the jump !

[@gracejackson3348]

Wow. I went to show my 6 year old daughter an example of a herkie and the video was perfect but the KZbin bullies are awful, awful individuals. Thanks for the video! Keep up the good work!

[@prettypinkbow24]

I'm flexible enough to do a herkie, like I can do oversplits and stuff, but I can't seem to bring my leg up high enough for a herkie. Help?

[@kayleighearls820]

Do you think it's because you're focused too much on your back leg? Or are you too afraid to jump? Just a thought because i'm a cheerleader and I struggle with those things

[@oliviad7302]

Kayleigh Earls the fact that you answered 7 years later has me dead asf😭😭

[@kayleighearls820]

@@oliviad7302 lmao im so bored i searched up old cheer videos I-

[@oliviad7302]

Kayleigh Earls LMAO SAME

[@brandifarley8223]

@faye2417 no you mixed them up. A hurdler looked like your jumping hurdles, and herkie is with one leg to the side and one leg bent.

[@correlationimpliescausatio862]

Huh I thought I'd learned it with half a touchdown instead of half a high v, but it's been awhile so I could be not remembering right. thanks for the vid :)

[@Liza41987]

youre amazing i wish i could do that any advice im on the cheerleadin team and i just cant get it ANYBODY got some advice please please

[@lomaigerz]

@lilmusicbabe3000 actually no.. there is just 1 carpet, and the other thingy is where thezoo and the website are written

[@StillAUnicornMsp]

I have cheer practise on Friday. I have done cheer but I'm scared that I need to practice a lot. Does anyone know any good moves to learn?

[@yeetbrynn9042]

marrrrkkkkk and apparently your a army with your name... hi

[@StillAUnicornMsp]

hola ;) btw i stopped cheer lol

[@Nothinghumnisalien2me]

not trying to be critical or anything, just a suggestion. ive found that your better off with an arm position that helps pull all of your body up rather than just half. if you look at the video you will notice that the landing wasnt all that clean and i think it may have something to do with the lack of height because the hand on your hip isnt helping to pull your body up. maybe try doing a T or high V

[@MsFamousgirl14]

@RandomTacoz101 same my school's arms are still in toe touch arm motions

[@faye2417]

that's a hurdler! Not a a herkie. A herkie is very similar to a pike jump, except one of your legs (which ever the coach asks you to) is bent behind you, kinda kicking your butt. A hurdler is a toe touch with one of your legs (again, coaches preferences) is bent back as if you were jumping over a hurdle. Also, generally when you do jumps your hands stay connected before you swing at the top :)

[@chelseaalexus1839]

That's a herkie...

[@sofiabravo1994]

That's definitely a herkie

[@monnazawadi8819]

I didnt even notice it until you mentioned it LOL :P

[@lelacross2009]

Dont hate on her she did good

[@gracemonkey3786]

lela cross uhhh no she didn’t

[@bethanybray4211]

i was cheerleader for 10 yrs and i have never seen a Herkie done like this

[@prettygirlswaglover2]

I still can't do it😂

[@saraviviabbynimiSVAN]

This was a good tutorial but I think you should work on your herkies! They're kind of messy. (Just some constructive criticism): You should def work on your landing by practicing on a trampoline because when you land your legs are too far apart and you bend a little to the back/front. I guess this is a different form of hurkie becuz in my allstar competitive squad we keep one hand following your stretched leg, the other vertical. We also bend down with the clap; that'll give you more air time.

[@DumemiruMetallic]

this is good

[@dorothee98]

how do you jump up that high :DD i can only jump like a little bit on the ground ;//

[@emikos700]

dorothee98 it doesn’t matter how high you go, all that matters is that the jump looks clean. At least that is what my coaches told me 👍🏼👌🏼

[@xcalibur0645]

I can only do the cartwheel and the toe touch but the others,no

[@mysterygirl344]

It is a half herkie,some people(me) can do the ful herkie where both legs are extended in a L form persay.Maybe she can do it either or she just wanted to do a half herkie

[@oreoluwaakinbo378]

Omg thank you so much

[@dancehyperness]

did her leg get caught in that wall

[@sulemaaraiza4950]

This helped thanks :)

[@In28WeTrust]

how high should i be when i do this???

[@emikos700]

In28WeTrust it doesn’t matter how high, as long as it looks clean and you have all the right movements and motions.👍🏼👌🏼

[@kmokatz]

A blunt oughta do it.

[@KATEY95228]

i can do it but my leg doesn't go up high "/

[@frosting21]

umm. noo! arms r wrong. its inn a t for the peak of the jump and the knee is down like a check mark my coach calls it.. not yr knee facing towards yr crowd. thats a SIDE HURDLERR.! there is a differecee.

[@BishopS]

CSI Brought me here... A hospitalized cheerleader said she did a perfect herky and wanted to demonstrate it, but then was reminded she can't move her legs... :/

[@RandomTacoz101]

at our school we move our arms different. i thought it was this when i tried outX)

[@ImissYOUalot345]

@FrostedMiniWheats1 what are talking about???

[@anyak97]

um.. you do not cover your face when you clap. She kept getting the landing weird. And why is there a hole in the wall???

[@geniusO2]

[@TheShopoholic101]

[@emmadornbusch9461]

[@TheMissHooligan]

[@lavoagnatus9032]

LittleMissHooligan at my school. For cheer we have to clasp high

[@ayushisarda3980]

You are so mean

[@annalynfaith9429]

Your clap is to high an ou don't do a half high v in the air

[@laraliee]

@izabel1395 me too! xDD

[@pinkdaisy565]

@myhorseAQUILLA23 Same thing.....

[@bionicbonnie1]

Get rid of them / all that work trying to do an ugly jump even at its best - full of potential to pull ligaments also !!!!!!

[@Coral2020]

You dont cover your face because your supposed to smile lol

[@Courtneynolen1]

@elhealy123 PRACTICE. i'm telling you, if you practice every day at home, you'll get 10000 times better. do alot of leg workouts, like lifts and jump drills. all it takes is practice, i promise.

[@kaileyrook97]

theres a hole in the wall O-o

[@janetbabi]

i agreee vvvv

[@5150jarrod]

i ment bumped her head in the wall

[@hiimnicole14]

Her arm is too high.

[@saraviviabbynimiSVAN]

she got annoyed that she can't do hurkies right so she punched the wall

[@MsJazsmin]

lol i thought i was da onli 1 thinkn dat

[@spencergem96]

she did lots of wrong things. She claps away from her body in front of her face and went she jumps her arms fly everywhere.

[@cupcakechickadee]

look at her feet :O

[@adivionnawhite1716]

Your clasp is just by ur chin

[@reallycutediva]

Your not supposed to have the bent leg like that. It shouldn't look like your peeing on something. No offense

[@sofiabravo1994]

Kristen JO that's a herkie....

[@candygurl21199]

that is not a correct hurkie..

[@StilaGoddess]

cant understand anything your saying.

[@cheerislife17]

these arm motions are so wierd

[@linneamalmgreen]

1. Your clap is so wrong. 2. What's up with your arm motions? 3. It doesn't look that nice. Sorry.

[@xMissJbieberx]

Ehhhh...its a helpful tutorial...but the Herkies could be better. No offense!

[@breannastone357]

That is all wrong....... That is NOT what a herky looks like. sorry LOL

[@TheMiguelsanchez13]

She breaks her risks so many times and its a "T" when you hit you jump
