She follows his lead, and pushes herself forward! She holds out her arms, as if to keep herself balanced that way. Is it helping? Unclear. But she hasn't toppled over yet!]

[She'll reach up to take his hand and pull herself up to her feet.]
I'm good!!
[Then she takes off to go chase down the runaway skateboard and try again!]

Try to remember that you want your feet balanced right at the bolts so that doesn't happen. It helps keep the board from doing...well. That. [ haha. ]
Anyway what were you saying?
