Skater Hop

Technique

How to perform Skater Hop

1. Stand with your feet about hip-width apart and bend slightly at the hips and knees.
2. Shift onto one leg and push sideways to land on the opposite foot.
3. Let the trailing leg pass behind you without transferring weight onto it.
4. Bend through the landing hip, knee and ankle to control the contact while keeping your torso steady.
5. Push from that foot to bound back to the other side.
6. Continue alternating controlled landings without turning the movement into a crossing step.
