The first of the three skips, over 10 yards there and back: knee high, ankle cocked, one rhythmic ground contact between each lift. It re-establishes ground contact before speed is added.
Key points
- The foot strikes the ground under the hip, never in front.
- Arms at a 90-degree angle, full range of motion from the shoulder.
- The ground pushes back against you; you don't push against the ground.
Common mistakes
- Striking the ground in front of the hips: every contact becomes a brake.
- Weak ankle: energy is lost in the foot instead of being transferred upward.
