Method 3: Increasing Your Distance
1. Avoid looking at the takeoff board. As you approach the board, keep your head up and look straight ahead. If you're busy looking at the takeoff board during your approach, you'll naturally readjust your body, which will cause you to slow down and jump a shorter distance.
2. Maintain your speed into the takeoff. Don't hesitate or slow down when you reach the takeoff board. Keep accelerating until you're off the ground. You can avoid losing speed at the takeoff board by making your last two steps as short and fast as possible.

With over a century of conservation expertise, the National Audubon Society knows what it takes to protect the birds we love. And with your support today, we can.

3. Try the hitch-kick technique. Once you take off from the takeoff board and you’re in the air, start moving your legs like you’re pedaling a bicycle. Bring both of your arms up in the air behind you so they’re fully outstretched. Your chest should be sticking out, and your back should be arched.
As you prepare for the landing, stop pedaling your legs and begin to bring your knees up to your chest. Bring your outstretched arms forward and down toward your legs, so you’re ready to brace yourself when you land.
4. Use the hang technique. Right after the takeoff, raise both your arms in the air and stick out your chest. Stretch your arms as far above you as you can, keeping them behind the rest of your body. At the same time, bend your knees and bring your legs back so they’re behind your body like your arms. Your chest should be leading you as you soar through the air.
As you approach your landing, bring your legs and arms forward, stretching your legs out as far in front of you as you can.
5. Try using the sail technique. After you take off, bring your legs up so they’re almost parallel with the ground and touch your toes together. Bring your arms down to your sides and hold them so they’re sticking out straight behind you. You want to keep your body as long and narrow as possible so it sails through the air.
This was the final method; I hope you read all the methods. And by applying them, you'll become the fastest long-distance jumper. Thank you for reading.
