Task · part of 2(C). Option C, In-Line Skating

2(C)(9). Forty feet of forward swizzles

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.

A series of forward, LINKED swizzles for at least 40 feet. A swizzle keeps both skates on the ground throughout, so it is a different way of moving from the stroking in step 5 rather than a harder version of it.
