For the intermediate skaters, what do you wish you had known or started out doing when you were a beginner?
I wish I’d learned groundwork right off the bat for strengthening and stretching. Weight distribution and edges are also something that are so foundational and didn’t come online until recently. And lastly, how to use my arms!

I also forgot to add I wish people would explain what edgework means inside the skate boot. Where you apply pressure on your foot or toes inside the boot. No one really talks about that. I needed someone to really break it down. It wasn’t until I started to apply that it made sense on how to get on the edge.

@Kita Morris figure 8’s and small tight ones really help. It will teach you to turn sharply and also body mechanics so you don’t lean too far into the edge. I still struggle with this. I’ve been working my inside edges and that one is overlooked a lot.
Skate Move Breakdown Suggestions?
give me any and all ideas y’all have for moves you would like to see thoroughly broken down and I’ll start knocking them off the list. You can send a video of someone else doing it or you attempting it or simply write your response here.

Preference when viewing skate tutorials?
What is your preference when watching videos on your phone? Especially skate, tutorials or videos. Is it landscape or portrait? Sideways or upright? …assuming that the video fills your entire screen

For me it doesn’t matter but what I’ve learned is that I find it easier when I see people demonstrating videos from behind instead of face forward.

Thank you for sharing!!!
What is everyone working on right now?
I’ve been learning sit spins, to the detriment of all other things, because I get really stubborn and single minded about finding it. 🤣🤣

I’m Kim from the Bay Area in California. Started skating on Valentine’s Day in 2021. I was bitten by the skate bug and now want to learn EVERYTHING.
