How to do it

  1. Start in a relaxed position with one leg slightly forward. This will be your starting position.
  2. Skip by executing a step-hop pattern of right-right-step to left-left-step, and so on, alternating back and forth.
  3. Perform fast skips by maintaining close contact with the ground and reduce air time, moving as quickly as possible.
