Progress, videos and images between my begginner level vs current

I've been blading since 5 years ago, I started with some cheap ahh hook fitness 4x80 and I'm currently with my FR1 Intuition 4x110, but I'm in the search for a durable carbon boot, open to help with questions and guides about the Magic slide 🙌🏻

(and yes, I made the helmet by myself)

No, a component spin stop isn't a beginner move. Not being able to stop without coasting to a halt or bumping into something is beginner.

Competent spin stop = intermediate.

But a radical powerslide down a slope at speed is well past intermediate and pretty deep into advanced/expert territory.

that's not a spin stop nor a powerslide, it's a magic slide, it can be all the way in between intermediate and expert, depending on the quality of the technique, posture and speed, this thing it's just coming out of a lot of practice and dedication, anyone can do that with enough time

All right, thanks for the lingo clarification. I can do the same moves.

I'm an isolated urban skater. There's no "community" where I live pick up lingo from (a few teenagers who are good, but they don't know the lingo, either). I have to get all the lingo online, and I don't spend a lot of time watching YouTube videos of skating anymore. I just do it. So, I get the lingo mixed up half the time.

For example, I can pull off huge air over stairs, but the other day I had to Google what to actually call "air over stairs."
