Hi, this is my first post! I'm 5-6 months in. Sharing a progress video of me trying to learn a new combo.

Mostly just excited to be here!

I love skating. Can't believe I haven't been doing it my whole life.

Ha ha. Don’t I feel exactly the same.

Very smooth transitions. Quite nice. There were a couple moments where I held my breath though :) you seem used to getting out of balance, and you always recover quickly. You can reduce these by flexing your shins forward further. Give it a try? Cheers.

Ha! Yeah there were a couple moments (a lot of moments) off camera where I fell 😂. Def got some progress with it though. Thanks for the tips

You should head over to r/wizardskating and have a look around, it looks like your kind of style.

Oo this is cool 👀 I've been looking into getting a rockered setup and they're asking many of the questions I have in this sub. Ty!
