"The aim of the game is to get to the bottom of the road as fast as you can, without missing any cones and hitting as few as possible," McMillan said.

Pang said the timer started once the first wheel of the skateboard crossed onto the course, and then "you try to weave through the cones as fast as you can" to the finish line.

But their preferred course is a "hybrid", which "has aspects of really tight cones where you weave through really fast, and ones that are more spread out so you carve around them", Pang said.

She said participants did not even need to go to a skate park to try it; they could "just find a road and set some cones up".

"I just want to pave a really positive way forward for other girls in skateboarding, and I want to give them the opportunity to see this sport and then participate in it themselves in the years to come," McMillan said.
