Inline Figure Skating Session 19 

lol i also do those off-ice brackets 24/7 when im bored. I actually found that practicing all my turns off-ice made it a lot easier for me to remember which ones were which and how to do them too 👌🏻

I know they teach skills differently in the US, but for me it seems your 1S is basically a waltz jump, you jump when you are forward. Don't know if it's intentional because it's a working progress, just be aware of it before it becomes muscle memory. On the other hand, the jumps that you labelled as 2S, are the best 1A attempts I've seen from you. You cross your legs nicely, I don't see that when you are going for 1A (I haven't seen all your footage, I might have missed some nice 1As). The one at 1:58 is very very good if you label it as 1A. Just pull your arms in and keep your legs crossed longer, so that the free leg doesn't touch down when you land. Another thing: bend your ankle and keep your body up when landing. Your torso is waaay to forward, I fear for you every time that you will end up on your face. 😱 Surely it would be easier in figure skates, because those have high heels and you don't actually need to bend your ankle too much to reach the nice upright upper body position. But it is totally possible in your skates as well, you just need to bend more at the ankle. Hope it didn't come through as unsolicited advise, I guessed you share your practice with the world to get some feedback. 😘

It’s definitely worth going to a fitter for the first time ordering a boot. My quad boots are not nearly as expensive as your skill level but still having a 250 dollar quad skate I can’t wear because it’s slightly too small in the toe box is frustrating. Especially because it felt fine at first so I wore them but when I started doing things on my toe stops like running and jumping I’d get crazy cramps in my toes from my big toe hitting the front of the boot. I think with figure boots your toes are supposed to touch the toe box but not bend unnaturally and that’s a really fine line to risk 1k on without a professionals advice. For me to get fitted I’d have to drive two hours into Phoenix so I get wanting to go online for it but in person you can make a list of which sizes of each model and brand you tried on that you liked that you can order later on

Very nice dude. You've got a bunch of them on command.

omg give me your three turns, I CANTTT

You should give aggressive inline skating a try

Right. Almost nobody does the Salchow with one-foot take off. Two footed makes them look really bad (ugly pronation). And yeah, checking with your arms is what gives you rotation control.

how do you jump so easily on the skates? You did amazing btw
