Hello issac, I learned by pretending to walk while going backwards and then slowly transitioning this moonwalk motion into a cross over. Never heard of anyone else doing it like this but maybe it will help.
Hi i clicked this video from the recommended section and im like 20 seconds in but lemme just say what you said about it becoming your favorite thing in the world is so freaking relatable! Thats exactly how i feel about skating , its wholesome exciting and just makes me happy (: Subscribed!
This series is awesome, and amazing to see that you can do so many kinds of turns, spins, jumps, even axels on urban/slalom inline skates, rather than on specialized off-ice figure skates. And also make it look easy as if on ice. Did you have a strong ice background before inline or is all this really self-learned in 1.5 years? Ive also been using inlines to practice basic figures off-ice so these videos are super inspiring.
@@PieterSheth-Voss I had no ice background and it was all learned on roller skates + in-line skates, if you combine roller skating it’s closer to 2.5 years of practice, I was working at a sonic drive in 😅. Let me know how your figure skating moves are going on your in-line skates! There are so few people doing them.
@@SolidSkates I started urban inlines 1.5 years ago, mainly to find a substitute for skiing in a winter with no snow, and got addicted to city skating. Then rediscovered pond skating this last winter, and started USFS LTS Basic 1-6 to learn figure and get techniques right. My current obsession has been to get three-turns, brackets, waltz jumps, and MITF on regular inlines as you have, so as to not be dependent on rinks or weather or ice. So to see in this series that that, and more, is possible is exactly what I was searching for.
@@PieterSheth-Voss I love to hear it! Sounds like you know more than me about the technical side of things. I’m doing the opposite, and I’ll be making ice skating videos this winter since it’s so cold in Wisconsin where I’m moving this week.
good on ya bro. im a boarder and aggressive inline skater myself but flow is flow lad! sk8 on! cam you imagine doing a 10 stair gap tho while hucking a 900 and landing backwards one leg!? people would lose their shit! lol
Hey, i am new to the whole figure skating thing and have been practicing with an old pair of skates. Can you give any recommendations on where to buy new ones? thanks in advance looking forward to use your vids as a teaching method
@@ghost.user964 mine are super expensive, I use the hc evo pro by powerslide, with 4x80mm wheels. They make actual in-line figure skating if you want to do specifically figure skating, but if you want regular in-line skates then anything thats considered good for slalom skating will work because they require a lot of control over the boot and direct power transfer. And make sure that the frame is rockered! Or is rockerable
Is your wheel a flat set up? Also, do you have gymnastics experience? I just watched your single axel video and honestly, the thought of even spinning in the air like that with shoes is terrifying 😅
@@MrStrikemasterice it’s a rockered set up, 2mm on the front and back. I don’t have any experience that really applies to skating, I played football, wrestling and track. I’m sure they all help in their own way, but gymnastics would have been very helpful. Start practicing waltz jumps in your shoes! You’ll be doing them in your skates in no time
@@SolidSkates I've tried Seba Trix Pro with carbon boot but they're heavy with a longer frame 243mm but my current set up is a Hardcore EVO 90 225mm with 84mm street invaders wheels and carbon cuff got it from my Icon Tr10 boots and I do Slalom freestyle skating

I'm a beginner skater so I really like to see what can be done. Tips on backwards crossovers are awesome

@@SolidSkates thanks. I shared your link on my Threads. Hope it helped

LMAO THATS NOT HOW I LOOK ONE YEAR INTO SKATING😂 how are you sooo goood brooo! Keep it up this is amazing 😭
@@linak2667 you clicked on my very first video ever haha, I’m glad I found another person who truly loves skating!!
@@linak2667 I was roller skating a year before this, at a sonic drive in, so definitely didn’t start from ground zero 😅
Hold up hold up, so youve only done roller and inline skating?! No ice skating whatsoever?! Nah bro we're witnessing a prodigy over heree
Love to see a different style of skating come to light :-) It's cool to see
You are more than good enough to be a skating coach from what i can see 👍
Thank you!
You and me are on the same track I would also like to do inline figure skating lol good luck bro
I’d love to see some videos!

Wish i could do this but no smooth places to skate 😂
None at all?? Do you live in a more countryside setting?

Combining figure skating and urban skating is one of my goals for sure. Keep on skating @smackout

Of course! Are you looking for in-line skates or roller skates?
I am looking for in line skates, like the ones your wearing in the vids 😺

Dude so true I’ve been lookin for skaters to do ice tricks…do you know about artistic skates.? Do you use rockered skates?
@@socer451 I use rockered skates, and yes I think I’ll get an actual pair of in-line figure skates eventually, are you getting into doing jumps??
@@SolidSkates yeah for sure.. that makes sense to do the spins without skates first....

The Hardcore Evo is the best skates I've ever skated on
These are the only pro level boots I’ve skated in, but I love them! What kind of skating do you do?

@@Keepit-nq3id let me know if you post any videos I’d love to see some of your skating. I bet the carbon cuff looks awesome in these boots
