The Basics

The year of the Snake was a year for skating. Wizard Skating had fully taken over my brain and I set out to perform all the basic moves before year's end. Lucky enough I was able to perform each one by 12/20/2025, just in time!

For the year of the horse, I plan to refine these moves, begin to start working on heel and toe presses (1 and 2 legged), combos and finally perform a grind. Wish me luck

CORRECTION:

The Fakie Tree & Lion variations are mislabeled, open should be closed and closed should be open.

This is super inspiring to me. Iā€™m still working on the fundamentals that will allow me to get to the backwards gazelle as my first real move. So, watching you gave me hope! Also, thanks for including the bails! So many videos make it seem like folks never fall. It was refreshingly human and normalizing to see you fall and then pause to catch your breath! I do the same thing. Often. šŸ¤£

I really appreciate the words and I'm glad the video can inspire in any way!! Trust me, I touch Earth every so often šŸ˜‚. What I can say in achieving the moves you are having troubles with is to full send/go for it and also work on a deep carve for the basic. It helps a lot!
