Not easier. But to understand the mechanism, that's important if you understand the mechanism, you can try to try it until it's a natural actually. Okay. Now we're gonna go into the element called sliding, sliding on your slide. Like this, you just slide this is slider. So basically, let's start like this.

We just spent and I got a slide from here to your leg and you also support so I can go down at all. I don't like it too. Well. Now you go. I suppose the slack is here is here. So my legs go to the edge of the slide and I felt the power of the floor what it did before.

Slide. Use the power of the bottom of the floor. I'm supporting. You see? Let's just try this simple 1111 from beginning to the end Any problems with sliding or the problem is really nice to use the floor. yourself go and at the same time you have to control exactly This is like saying, to let go but in a controlled way, the moment you touch the floor, you'd fall to the floor.

Now let's go something else, you do the same. So why don't watch the gonna slide on the fourth floor. So if I'm sliding, you support me. I go here. Very stable that second one. Now you go to the floor.

That's it. back. Don't lose me. Again, don't lose me. Okay, so last one is going to slide the dog for. So the moment I have a space, I go over him and balance him out.

Yep, so I never lose your connection. And then I just bought us cable never collapsed just for your support. So I can I can I can see what I can do. So when I go is almost the contact, they go hip to hip, hip to hip. The key with these exercises is not to the moment, you see opportunity. Don't go away and jump.

Just expand. You just lean on somebody and Barbara so she goes, Oh, space, space here. into the hands. Keep the balance on the kick hip to hip. There we go. Everybody.

Everybody knows you're missing one. You're missing one smaller moment, but it's here because So, I'm here but this is the mode. If somebody goes down slightly, I have opportunity to ride Oh, wow, see just know without losing that cliff the moment somebody goes I'm here because you are not a loser. But then if you're here, we cannot go. It's good enough to see what you have to do if it goes down yeah. Okay.

I was just showing you the first part to lose the car Last collapse, you know, go see this is half a meter spread. Go down everybody. Nope Can I see one of the basic problem is this. It's It's a man nice. If somebody goes down, going down, I also go down I know it's a problem. Because if somebody goes down, I go, Ah, I go.

I go on because if I go down, this is happening. I cannot that's why I'm going up.
