One of the most basic moves in parkour, the broad jump is a simple, powerful, and finesse jump. Like just about everything in parkour or free running, the move requires strength, balance, and control. I found this image and thought it shows the breakdown of the jump perfectly. The form looks good, but if I were to change something it would be the spring in his takeoff. While it all depends on preference, the angle his knees make is, in my mind, a fraction too acute. I think he could gain more distance with a shorter, quicker burst of power. Very cool picture nonetheless...
