Tip: The slalom skater’s perfect kit

Tips…

Here is a light DIY kit that you can carry in a plastic bag, a fanny pack or a backpack pocket. It is made of:

• A piece of sidewalk chalk
• A cord
• Big bottle caps

A cord

• Take a nylon cord
• Make a knot 50 cm from one end
• Another knot 80 cm from that same end
• Cut the cord at 120 cm
• Melt both ends (for it not to fray)
• Here is your tracing meter measure!

A piece of chalk

• At first, crouch down and trace a thin straight line in leaving the piece of chalk on the ground behind you
• Then with the rope, mark your cones according to the slalom spacing you want (50, 80 or 120 cm)

This kit is very light and doesn’t cost a thing. It’s not cumbersome at all and resists to wind as well as plastic cones.
