Instructions

  1. 1Shoot off a curl or step-back move, not a stationary catch.
  2. 2Freeze on landing and check that you land in the same footprint you jumped from.
  3. 3Flag any drift forward, sideways, or fadeaway on the landing.
  4. 4Repeat until five straight reps land balanced under control.

What to focus on

Vertical, controlled landing directly under the shot.

Common mistake

Drifting or fading away on the jump, which pulls the shot off-line.
