How do you perform this exercise? Any videos around that show how it is done?

my understanding of this exercise is of a plyometric jump to airborn then land and all the way down to a frog like squat

Its a very wide stance squat with back perfectly straight, so as to hit not just the regualr thigh muscles but also bring into play the inner thighs aswell.

And toes point further out to the sides so that your knees follow their path.
