Toe Kick
Imagine you are standing at the line for the long jump.
In front of you is a wooden rod. On your right is a judge with a meter stick.
The purpose of this game is to jump as far as you can. Not uncommon, right? Typical long jump, right?
Wrong.
There is a catch.
While in the air traveling across the field, you must dip your feet down and kick the rod, with only your toes.
You may not land on the rod.
You may not touch the ground.
Just a little flick.
You succeed the first time, they move the rod a little farther away, and you repeat.
The winner is the student that can go the farthest.
The winning jumper made a 52" leap from the starting line.
