Deck Stair Slalom

Rolling that sticky drum was fun indoors, but by afternoon my sneakers needed open air and real gravity! I squeezed out through the patio screen and spotted three clean, overturned plastic garden seedling pots spaced along the wooden deck steps like miniature slalom cones. No hesitation! I kicked into high gear across the weathered cedar boards, dropped low, and banked hard around the first black pot. Bouncing down each wooden tier, I cut tight arcs, kicked up a tiny swirl of dry cedar dust, and nailed a sharp slide landing right on the lowest step. Gravity check: totally aced!
