Answer 1

A herky [ aka hurkie herkie hurky ] is a cheerleading jump of medium difficulty [ for some not all ] where one leg [ usually your weakest ] is bent towards the ground and your other leg [ usually your strongest] is out to the side as high as it will go in the toe touch position. This jump is very similar to the Side Hurdler except for the position of the bent leg. There are right Herkies and left Herkies. In a right Herkie your right leg is straight with your left leg bent and the opposite is true for a left Herkie. Sometimes called a hurkie. Named after Lawrence "Herkie" Herkimer.

Answer 2

It is a jump used in cheerleading. You have one leg straight out and the other one bent behind you and your arms straight out. I hope you got the visual. Look it up in youtube and you should be able to see someone actually doing it.
