HOW TO PLAY
1

Line up holding hands with the strongest, steadiest player anchoring the front of the line.

2

Begin skating or running forward together as one connected chain.

3

The anchor curves sharply while the rest of the line follows, building speed toward the back.

4

Players near the end of the line get whipped around fast and must hold on or peel off safely.

5

Rotate who anchors and who takes the end position for the next run.

6

Keep clear of obstacles and other players since the tail end moves quickly.
