The lowdown

From a run at an angle to a wall, you plant one foot on it and push up and away, to gain height or change direction.

How to learn it

  1. Approach

    Run in at an angle to the wall, not straight at it.

    CueCome in at an angle
  2. Take off

    Take off from the leg further from the wall.

  3. Plant

    Plant the ball of your inside foot at hip height, toes up.

    CueHip height
  4. Push

    Lean away and push the wall rather than kicking it.

    CuePush, do not kick
  5. Turn

    Turn your head and arms towards where you want to land.

    CueLook where you land

Why it isn't working

  1. IfRunning straight at the wall.
    ThenApproach at an angle so the push sends you along and away.
  2. IfFoot too high on the wall.
    ThenA high foot cannot push; plant it about hip height.
  3. IfStanding upright against the wall.
    ThenLean away from it, or the downward force makes your foot slide.
  4. IfNot turning towards the landing.
    ThenTurn your head and throw your arms where you want to go.

Why it's Silver: Silver because it is a single step, but it has to be timed off a run and the push has to go up and sideways at once.
