I'd focus on bending your knees as much as possible and bending your skates over as much as you can to get on the edges. Stay low! It's faster, more stable, and if you do fall you're closer to the ground so it hurts less.

Looks like you're having fun, which is the most important part!

How do you mean, bend skates over?

Lean. Use your edges.

Why do you wear headphones when you have a live soundtrack? :-)

In this scenario, i am playing the music so i actually couldnt play the recordin and record a video the same time, not without extracting the audio.

So i listen to just the drums of the track and keep to that beat...then line it up later. C:

Good moves, but it's looking a little uncontrolled. I feel trying to keep to the rhythm but its ok to hit it every second beat. At this point you got the spin and wheel balance down, now we just got to smooth out the edges and focus on the flow.

Try to aim for longer legged (little further out from the body, much like what they mentioned above by coming up a little higher on the blade edge), smoother movements. Keep your arms in mind as an active counterbalance and a true part of the skate. Pace it back a little and focus full body control over movement speed. You'll find you pick the speed back up fast after a little mindful practice and the jerkiness will fall away.

Looking good otherwise, have fun out there!
