My kids do this also but they find going down smoothly much more difficult than
going
up. It's also a good tool for letting them know where to "shift gears". I also
make
sure the ends are not heavy as the kids have a tendency for this. Of course
when
they begin this exercise I am always asked, "I thought you said I couldn't
slide. Now
you want me to do this?"
