Huey does the same thing. We have all hardwood and he runs in place like a cartoon character (I can hear the sound effect) until he gets traction and takes off. He is hilarious chasing his throw toys as he spins and slides on the floor. He has learned to use it to his advantage during the zoomies as he banks the corners... he starts his turn early, slides and hits the wall and pushes off like a swimmer making his turn.
