I do get a lot of questions about my skating, so in the future, I’m considering doing some tutorials.
For now, here are some good examples from YouTube, of the absolute skating basics, especially if you’re going to get into freestyle skating:
- (my favorite) How To Improve Your Forward Stride
- Correct Posture and Hockey Stance for Skating
- Elite Hockey Skills Training (power skating)
- Coach Kim’s Corner #1 Proper Skating Posture
- 5 Easy Inline Skating Tips To Make Any Level Of Skater Better Instantly
These videos, from my favorite freestyle skater (who influenced me the most) explains the difference between my skate setup, and flat setups.
(I skate a full rockered setup- 80mm banana rocker, or on flat frames I’ll use 76x80x80x76mm wheels)
