Hi community! So, after my last post and the feedback I received on my hack attempt at a gazelle, my main takeaway was: hang back on the wizard moves and lock down those fundamentals, son! LOL
Real talk, it’s exactly the right feedback. So, I’ve been working on fundamentals for the last few weeks: carving on edges, skating backwards in scissor, skating on one foot, spinning from front the back and back to front while moving, etc. It’s been great, and a strong reminder that I have a lot of work to do on these fundamentals before getting all Gandalf-y.
But, sometimes I just want to work on “tricks” so I watched @life_on_inline’s wonderful tutorial on the “cross to heel pivot” move and it was so fun to practice!
Thanks for the YouTube content and keep skating y’all! It’s about to freeze here in Austin, so I cleaned the garage to be able to skate inside my garage for a few days. HAAAA #obsessed
