What is a split landing?

Is that like ..when you jump down..and you tear your crotch out?

flying faster than the gravitational pull that is pulling you back

It takes about a month to get a split. Stretch in a pike position (legs outstretched in front of you, reach for your toes). And all you have to do is just slide down, that's all I can really tell you. You won't get very far the first few times, but when you are practicing every day or so, you will see improvement and become closer to the ground.\n\nTo do a back flip, you should know how to do a back handspring and things similar to that. \nStart standing. Bend your knees a little bit, then start to lean back. While you are leaning back, you should be ready to push your feet off the ground as hard as you can. Jump up, back, spin around, and tuck your legs into your stomach REAL TIGHT. You should be rotated over by now and landing on your feet.\n\nIt is really hard to tell you how to do this over the Internet, so it might sound confusing, but just practice and have to instructors help you and spot you.\n\nYou won't be learning back flips until later after you have cartwheels, splits, back bends, back walkovers, front walkovers, handstands, round offs, back handsprings...\n\nGood luck and have fun in gymnastics!

You don't learn to do a split.  You are either that flexible or you aren't.  You can become more flexible, by stretching.  It took me a marking period to get my split.  I was on restriction for bad grades and confined to my room.  I didn't have anything to do but read and stretch.  Please don't rush it, that's how groin injuries happen, which is one of the most painful things you'll ever experience.  Keep stretching.  Sit on the floor, with your legs spread as wide as you can.  Bend over each leg, and over the middle, slowly.  Also, butterfly stretches are good.  Sit with your feet sole to sole and pull them back towards you as far as they will go.  DON'T BOUNCE, BOUNCING CAUSES INJURIES.  Good Luck

Dead stop.  If it rebounds, it slows the following water, reducing spin.

The biggest trick to the landing is lining your board parallel with ground. This is tricky at first because when you leave the lip, your at a different angle then the one you're going to have to land at. Now, naturally gravity will adjust your board a bit, but ultimately the control is up to you. You do have some leeway with this however, because your board can "slap" a little bit when you land. This is the benifit of snowboarding as opposed to skiboarding (short skis). Also, keep your knees flexed and slightly bent when you land and make sure your direction of travel doesn't change until you're confident enough.

Nothing has been announced.  It's up to the company whether or not they split.  Keep in mind that a split is just an accounting measure and a non-event.  What matters is whether or not the company can continue the trend of increasing revs and EPS and beating estimates.

It's a ski style where the skis are like downhill skis, but the heel is detached like a cross country ski. \nThe technique is to go downhill but in a "telemark" position which is bending both knees and one foot is in front of the other... a bit like when those "flying" skiers land...\nSo the do slalom but instead of keeping both legs together they always use this position....\nNot to try in a very steep hill....

North Shore Landing is the best. The fees the last time I was there 3 years ago was $20 dollars to launch.

It's a middle split, right? For a middle split stand up with your legs apart and slowly let your feet slide apart. Stop when it hurts a lot, then hold that for 1 minute, or read while holding that, Do that EVERY day, but each day sink lower. When you can finally do the middle splits, do oversplits (when you put on leg on a higher mat) so you don't lose you split (I hate when that happens).

There are several forces at work here.\n\nHorizontal: drag due to air friction slowing the horizontal velocity down\nVertical: weight, speeding the vertical velocity up\n\nThe total velocity when breaking surface tension is the vector sum of the horizontal (vh) and vertical (vv) velocities = V = sqrt(vh^2 + vv^2).  The vertical velocity = vv = gt = g sqrt(2S/g) = sqrt(2Sg); where S = 60 ft and g = 32.2 ft/sec^2.\n\nWe can't find vh with what you've given us because the initial horizontal velocity vh0 = 150 mph will be slowed down by the drag friction.  And drag friction forces depend on air density, coefficient of drag, and the cross sectional area of the person...none of which has been given.\n\nHowever, one rule of thumb in such matters is that the terminal velocity of a person falling through the atmosphere is about 120 mph.  So we can suppose that vh1, the end horizontal velocity, will be somewhere between 120 and 150 mph.  Let's assume the soft landing and vh1 = 120 mph = 176 ft/sec as the terminal horizontal velocity.\n\nThus, the break surface tension velocity V = sqrt(vh^2 + vv^2) = sqrt(176^2 + (2Sg)^2) = sqrt(31000 + 3800) = 186 ft/sec or about 127 mph.  Ouch.  At those speeds, water tends to act like concrete...in other words, splat...end of XXX.

My cousin trained himself to become more flexible for the splits by putting plastic bags (like Walmart bags) on his feet, and sliding them slowly on a wooden floor. He would put a small step stool under him so he wouldnt go further until finally he was able to pass down to a stack of pillows and eventually all the way down to the floor.

A plane is defined as having at least 3 points. \n4 points mean there is an extra location to rest on causing possibility of inbalance.

The best practice for split leaps are... split leaps.  It's one of those exercises that in order to get better at it, you basically have to do it a lot.  General gymnastics/plyometric-based weight training might also help.

You could use 2 legs, use a large wedge or just use a ramp type object.
