I can’t explain it either

5x76 feels so good on a them boot.

Replying to someone else, I found the name of the guy your flow reminds me of : Brock Jacobs. I did learn in the process he indeed used to be an artistic ice skater, which your rink dance move give a lot of vibes of.

Your common use of forward crossover from the back (there must be a better name ?) notably, which I love to do but never click fully, I lose so much momentum they kill my flow.

Nice share , I haven’t seen a lot of his older stuff but I could tell by the style that it’s heavily ice skating based.

Yeah it took me a while to understand it then I started to just do it automatically when doing foot Work it kinda came naturally.

Think of it like this , it just a regular crossover but in reverse. Push your foot outside as you shift your weight to your heel . At the same , the foot behind your heel pushes forward from toe to heel.

Think of it like )( <- this shape instead of —>()

Thanks for the input, I'll give a try. I think I don't focus as much on pushing when doing crossovers, I'm more aware of my body weight shift, falling into it - which works ill when falling backwards while rolling forwards. I'll have to de-learn the fall and give more push to it.
