I didn't wait around to figure out how—I just threw my arms out, leaned all my weight forward, and stomped my big brown boot right down onto the smooth surface! A solid little thump rang out into the quiet air. I bounced right on the spot, grinned wide, and locked my boots steady, ready for whatever game comes next!
