• Check the space and the kit.
• Get your child's attention first.
• Show it from two sides.
• Say one thing only.
• End on one that works.

Put the phone down where you can see it. Tap Next with your thumb, or use the arrow keys.

Is the space marked?

• A start line
• A straight lane
• A cone slalom
• A stopping line

A crack or a line on the ground; a second line 2 m on.

Three minutes to get warm.

Easy jogging on the spot, then arms and legs. How to warm up well is explained at workonfitness.com.

1. Wedge the back wheels in a crack so the board cannot roll, put the back foot on the tail and hold the nose up for 3 seconds.
2. Roll slowly, put a little weight on the tail and lift the nose, knees low and arms out, from one line to the next.
3. Noseturn: front foot on the nose, take the weight off the tail and turn the board half round on the front wheels.

Show it once from the front and once from the side, slowly. Then let your child try.

1. Back wheels in a crack: hold the nose up for 3 seconds.
2. Roll and lift the nose with the back foot on the tail, low in the knees, arms balancing.
3. Wheelie from one line to the next.
4. Noseturn: front foot on the nose, unweight the tail and turn 180 degrees.

How much: 10 wheelies and 5 noseturns each way

Less weight back, knees low

Furthest wheelie

Points

1 point for each step-length of wheelie past the first line; 2 points for each clean noseturn.

Fouls

That try does not count: the tail scrapes the ground; lifting the nose before the line; a foot touches the ground

Win

The most points from one wheelie plus the noseturns.

1. ★ 3
2. ★★ 6
3. ★★★ 9

A 2 m wheelie and a noseturn each way.

End on one that works. If it was hard today, finish with the easier version.

Well played.
