Get yourself some cones or pylons (soda bottles or cans work great too)... put them a good distance away from eachother. Make sure they are equal distance from eachother and then time yourself going through.
The goal is to avoid all cones and make it through as fast as possible. As you succeed, pull the cones closer to eachother.
Hint: 'Linking' helps...
Wanna add some flavor? Do a trick at the end...
This might not be the big air or cool grind everyone is looking for but it shows heel' control and line creation due to space and rate of approach.
Just something different and fun Ive been working on lately...
Right now Im using (7) 5sq in. pylons, and my best is 22in. apart.
Keep in mind, one of the things HSL is interested in, including in their competitions, is slalom.... so this isnt bad practice for all around skeelz!
Give it a shot.... post yer results!
ENJOY! |

| done that too, with speed stacks, i learned to criss cross my feet so as one goes one way the other will go the other way. going in and out of them was easy, i can do it when theyre about 7 inches apart, cant go any smaller cause my shoe is too big... |
