How to do it

  1. Stand on one leg with a soft knee and the other foot tucked up behind you.
  2. Push off sideways and land on the other leg, letting your free leg sweep behind you and your arms swing across your body for balance - like a speed skater carving from edge to edge.
  3. Absorb each landing through a bent knee, find your balance, and push off again.
  4. Stick every landing before you leave it; the pause is where the control lives.
