Awkward jump while skating in Kentucky (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

klutzy

'awkward' is the definition.
(a klutz is a clumsy person)

'jump while skating in kentucky' is the wordplay.
'jump while skating' becomes 'lutz' (type of jump performed on skates).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'kentucky' becomes 'ky'.
'lutz' going into 'ky' is 'KLUTZY'.

(Another definition for klutzy that I've seen is " like a chump over there".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
