Narrative:
I was doing static runup on ramp. Plane was chocked all 3 wheels. No one was immediately near, plane started to slide, I pulled power off at once but still struck 2 orange parking cones (plastic). There was no damage to plane, but cones were broken. In the future I will find dry spot on runup area to do run up.
