HOW TO DO SLEDGEHAMMER TIRE STRIKE

  1. Place the tire flat on a firm surface, confirm that it cannot shift, inspect the hammer, and clear the surrounding area.
  2. Stand far enough away for the hammer head to land securely on the central part of the tire.
  3. Hold one hand near the end of the handle and the other higher, lift the hammer over one shoulder with controlled trunk rotation, then drive it down as the upper hand slides toward the lower hand.
  4. Control the rebound and begin the next swing only after regaining full control of the hammer.
  5. Keep your feet and hands away from the striking surface, and alternate sides deliberately.
