Hi all:
Does anyone know the English meaning of 蹬直腿? Please help thanks!
Detail:
赤脚蹬直腿在原地弹跳，脚底竟能离地近一米高，好像装了弹簧一样。

two-footed jump
it just means "straightens his legs", but that wouldn't make sense in English.
We call that movement a two-footed jump.
You could also use:
bouncing
leaping into the air
jumping up and down

: but two-footed jump does not imply any "原地弹跳".
