HOW TO DO IT

Toe Arc: Supported Feet and Hands-Clear Test

Identify waist collapse, tiptoe and reach-induced support loss.

Preparation and setting

Clean short toe tasks and known exit; no intentional contact; suitable familiar patch.

Exercise sequence

  1. Observe baseline.
  2. Stationary, compare supported boot contact with tiptoe/torso-only fold, then restore support.
  3. Ride short hands-clear traverse.
  4. Repeat J-carve with coordinated lower-joint/pelvis action and available range.
  5. Compare first brushing phase.
  6. Transfer useful change to a pair.

Transfer

Use before any separate high-angle/contact progression; hands-clear performance establishes the foundation.

Errors addressed

Waist fold; Tiptoe; Premature end-range crouch; Grip loss when reaching.

Success check

Clean useful segment improves while viewing and exit remain deliberate.

Simplify when needed

Return to CD02/CD05 and remove linked demand if posture remains unsupported.
