You've made it this far - awesome job! 👏 Now it's time to try the famous Throwback trick: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fo5A93y0xgA.html
I've gotten my switch down pretty decent and I can do frontside 180s most of the time, but I do tend to lose a lot of my momentum. Next time I go out I'll have to use these tips to see if I can get it smoother, and then also start on my backside 180s!
I remember when these things where called free lines , used to ride these back in middle school before people even can wrap their head around what they where lmao
I swear backside & frontside should be switched...🤷♂️ I think of it as turning to my back side. And frontside I think of “going forward” almost, so it’s switched in my mind lol
Hey, If you do frontside 180 (goofy) like in this video, on which skate do you put your weight, if you start riding switch? Everytime I turn, I lost speed and fall. I notice that a lot of tricks are depending on which skate you put your weight. All your video's are great, but sometimes I wish I want to know, on which skate I have to put my weight. I live in Holland, and youtube is my teacher😊 I have never seen freeline skaters in my country.
Hi Jeff, thanks for all beginners’s tutorials. I really like you said it likes baby step. I start learning from last month due to lockdown, it is really helpful for me!! Now I can pump and switch ( I am regular and I can do goofy but not as familiar as my regular) But for 180 turn , I just stop and lose all my momentum when I turn 180. Is it required to make my goofy as my regular first? And when turning, how is the center of gravity move? I try to put much of my weight on my left side (regular) is that right?
Hey Cy Hsu! Your center of gravity should follow the center of your two feet, at all times. This will keep your body from being left behind. As long as you let the skate pass UNDER you, and not AROUND you, your momentum should carry through :) The fact that your center of mass stays exactly over your feet makes the difference between a 180 and a super sharp carve. So after the rotation the quick snap, the speed you end up with will depend on your ability to ride switch. Hope that helps you, and good luck!
I don't even have one yet and still watching this.. I just ordered mine on Amazon, I don't have Paypal for the official site to order a pair of those maybe next time. Can't wait to brake my ankles.
@@jmkride From Canada, I can make a paypal tho It's just where I live we don't really need it 😅 so yeah next time I'll definitly order the original ones for sure.
