How do you do a hitch kick?

A hitch kick is a technique used in skiing or Snowboarding to maintain speed and rhythm while navigating a jump or transition. To perform a hitch kick, start by bending your knees and preparing for the jump. As you take off, extend your legs and bring one knee up toward your chest while the other leg extends out behind you, resembling a running motion. Upon landing, absorb the impact by bending your knees and maintaining your balance.
