Default Re: why does this happen before taxi to takeoff?

So is this a pre taxi checklist or something?

It's all part of the taxi checklist specific to the company and airplane. On the CRJ after the flaps are extended we check the primary flight controls (spoilerons included). However if it's a first flight of the day the ground and flight spoilers are also checked.
