Make sure the area is soft to land on and free of obstacles that could cause injury. Ensure height in the movement over the hurdles. Slow down if need be, but get the technique right (e.g. with squat jump, make sure legs come up together and land together). Step FORWARD into the dives and K Soop. Be quick and efficient in recovery, perhaps incorporating a spin recovery depending on your ability.
