Pendulum

The pendulum appears from about 1,400 m: a wrecking ball (0.7 m) swings back and forth 2.8 m just above the ground – once there and back in 2.3 seconds.

How to get past it

Jump over the ball like over a crate. If it swings towards you, jump a little earlier; if it swings away, a little later.

Pro tip

The mount at the top marks the middle of the swing. That is where the ball is fastest.

Common mistake

Looking only at the ball and forgetting its motion – the right take-off point moves with it.
