starjump
The "Teching Tumbling" doesn't seem to match - other b.g.c. hits seem unrelated. --Connel MacKenzie 20:24, 7 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Yes, I think I was taught them at school in the 60s, and my 5-yr old was taught them last month. A bit more common in the plural and significantly more as star jump. Arguably therefore a misspelling. --Eng in ear 22:44, 7 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Then perhaps a regional tag is more appropriate than a misspelling tag? --Connel MacKenzie 15:03, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

Regardless of spelling, I'm curious about the defintion, A form of exercise where one touches one's toes then jumps up. My understanding of starjump is jumping up and spreading out your arms and legs (hence the star) before landing again with the feet together and the arms back by your side. (Repeat ad nauseum). The def given does not seem to indicate this. Is my understanding of it another def, or is the one listed just a bit vague.--Dmol 20:50, 11 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Like a jumping jack? —RuakhTALK 22:50, 11 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Vaguely like that. I think Dmol is correct...When I saw our definition, I thought I had misremembered the exercise, but he agrees with my memory, as does one of the bgc hits, so I suspect our definition is wrong. --Eng in ear 14:02, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Cited now, but marked as an alternate spelling of star jump. —RuakhTALK 14:49, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
