[He listens to the instructions and tries to follow them. The first attempt ends up dismal as he underestimates how much force it will take, so he just ends up flopping to the side. Getting a better sense of how much he needs to push off from the rooftop, he makes a second attempt. This goes better than the first, though he's still lacking the dexterity and quickness that he needs. By the third try, it's clear he's gotten the concept behind the move down. Practice, as the saying goes, will be what makes him perfect.]

At least it's easier than learning to fire a bow.

[Trying to pull a bow back and accurately fire an arrow from a sitting position was hard, one of the most difficult weapons Ivar had ever mastered. But he'd been stubborn and now could out-shoot any of his brothers, accurately hitting a deer in the eye from a hundred paces away.]
