How to perform

Stand to the side of a cone or hurdle. To get into the start position, stand on one leg with your knee slightly bent.
To begin, execute a counterjump to hop sideways over the cone.
Land on your jumping leg, and immediately rebound out of it by jumping back to the start position.
Continue hopping back and forth.
