Task · part of 2(B). Option B, Roller Skating

2(B)(11). Two spins, or a hop, skip and jump

Optional May not apply

This may not apply to you. You have not answered "Requirement 2: ice skating, roller skating, in-line skating, or skateboarding?" yet. Answer it and this step will either settle or drop off.

ONE STEP WITH AN ALTERNATIVE INSIDE IT, not a fork: a series of two consecutive spins on skates, OR a hop, skip and jump on skates for at least 10 feet. Both are on the same line and only one is done.

Note. TWO OF THIS OPTION'S STEPS OFFER AN ALTERNATIVE INSIDE ONE LINE, AND NEITHER IS A FORK. This one is a series of two consecutive spins on skates, OR a hop, skip and jump on skates for at least 10 feet. Step 13 is the other: dribble a basketball forty feet and back, OR push a hockey ball with a stick the same distance. In both cases the choice lives inside the wording of a single step, so there is nothing on this page to switch off and no question to answer. Pick whichever the rink can actually lend you the equipment for, which in practice decides step 13 for you.
