Well, all 3 splits are differnt than the straddle, but may i ask if u are trying to do it on the floor or tramp? are u bring you legs in front of you, like a pike. if u bring your legs to the side of ur hips, ur hips enable u to jump, they slightyl go in front of u, hard to explain?? any questions, adk, wiill try to find a link

jump off a block so you get a bounce into the jump therefore more height and more time.
