How to do it

  1. Stand to the side of a cone or hurdle. To get into the start position, stand on one leg with your knee slightly bent.
  2. To begin, execute a counterjump to hop sideways over the cone.
  3. Land on your jumping leg, and immediately rebound out of it by jumping back to the start position.
  4. Continue hopping back and forth.
