Well, we had lots of training from our coach and bumping wheels and shoving was one of the training exercises. He'd have us do laps in parking lots and randomly toss out crap like basketballs, water-bottles, traffic-cones, etc. and we'd have to avoid it. Then he'd put us into small packs of 5-10 and we'd do it again. Not only would we have to avoid the obstacles, we'd have to avoid the other guys who are scrambling all over the place.
