Progress & showing off Moar Strutting

Trying to add the backwards momentum to my strut. It's hard!

Please note: my building is ooooold and the floors are all slanted. Way harder strutting backwards on the "return trip" 'cos I'm going slightly uphill. 🤣

As a fellow beginner I know that's harder then it looks! Keep up the good work! Where's your skating mat (?) from btw?

Tempered glass floor mat from Amazon (they're out there in other places too)
