Which term represents the next category after Small Step (max 0.40)?

Which term represents the next category after Small Step (max 0.40)?

• A. Lands with feet hip-width apart or closer but never joins feet (heels)
• B. Flexed/sickle feet on VP elements
• C. Small Step (max 0.40)
• D. Medium Step

Answer: (D)

The main idea is how landings are rated for balance and control in this scoring system. After a jump, a small step is the mildest way to lose balance, with a deduction capped at 0.40. The next level of balance disturbance is a medium step, which means a more noticeable adjustment to regain stability—think a wider step or a slightly longer recovery, more disruptive than a tiny shuffle but not as severe as a large misstep. So the term that represents the next category after a Small Step is Medium Step. The other options describe different landing details or foot positions on other elements, which aren’t the next-step category after a small step.
