The kickstand drill. So what we're going to focus on is putting our front foot, lead foot, forward, shifting our center of mass still in line over that foot, and we're just going to focus on really getting this heel pull going. So, all right, to make that more difficult, we're just going to increase our fall angle. So if I step forward further, there's more center of mass further forward, further ahead of me, and so I'm going to have to really work Get back to— again, we're really focusing on keeping all the toes involved. We don't want to have the foot too externally rotated or internally rotated. We want to use pinky toe and big toe just as much as each other. Okay, so again, here, pulling, falling, increase the angle, pull more.
