Also, watch her face. If she is making faces when she lands, then it just may be hurting her.

Good luck.
*chuckles* Or she could be enjoying it...

I've certainly been known to make faces (mostly the smiley kind) while airborne - but instead of the dreaded "bicycle face" disease doctors diagnosed women with in the 1890's, maybe they'll come up with "ukemi face"?
