High Knee Skip
Skip for height, driving one knee up hard each time; more air, fewer contacts than high knees.
How to do it
Setup
Standing tall, space to travel or on the spot.
Steps
- Skip for HEIGHT, driving one knee up hard.
- Drive the opposite arm with it.
- Land soft and skip off the other leg.
Common mistakes
Skipping for distance: HEIGHT is the cue; hang in the air. Flat stomping landings: ankle springs. Lazy arms: they lift half the skip.
Breathing
Exhale on each drive.
