The Double Lean

★★★★☆ Age 9+ both feet Level 4 · Signature Moves

You lean one way, then the same way again. They expect you to change, so the second lean beats them.

Study holds every step and names it. Flow runs them together at speed. Space bar plays and pauses; arrow keys step one frame.

Same way twice. That is the whole trick.
