Planning: The Podium

The final stop on the assault course was the podium, in keeping with the previous pieces I decided to have our cocky friend bound up each step in a stream of constant motion.

As a twist on the end and to attempt to add a touch of humour to the piece I decided the character was to catch his ankle on the final podium, thus falling on his face and denying him the chance of a Rocky Balboa-esque celebration. Because life loves to kick you when you're riding the winning horse people...
