I was looking for nice slalom tutorials actually explaining you how to do the trick and not only showing it. You just made it ! Thank you, Naomi Grigg !
I just wanted to say thank you for all these tutorial videos - I am waiting for my skates and I have a lot of work on basics to do, before I can start learning slalom...but watching and studying these videos really makes me feel both excited about learning slalom AND feel like I can do this :) Thanks!
I'm going back to slalom after maaaaany years and oh what I would give to be back in Hyde Park circa 2006 with Naomi hitting the back of my knees with a stick shouting BEND YOUR KNEES MORE! (it was very gentle. she wasn't really hitting me. and anyway I should have BENT MY KNEES MORE). All these years later, somehow my legs automatically find their way around the cones although I don't even remember what the moves are called, or even that at some point I was vaguely able to do them. THANK YOU NAOMI what a privilege to be taught by you. You tried and tried and tried to get me to do the Sun, I don't think I ever actually got my head around it.
are you supposed to switch the leading foot during the step from back to forward? something seems off about that. I'd think if you were doing a left leading back cross you would be stepping with the opposite feet. Haven't tried it on wheels yet to know for sure, though.
