Anyone ever just sit down and write out a little bit about all the different rhythm skate styles? I did 😂 I will put some here and please join in and add things that I have missed! NY/NY - seems based in house music. Lots of pivots, trains and trios, figure 8’s, footwork on the 2,4,6 and 8 beat. Chicago- JB or James Brown. Footwork. Four corners, Big Wheel, Buckey Walk. ATL - real swaggy, ryding. Leg crossing, claps and stomps on the beat. Seems faster than the other rhythm styles except for …. Philly - Fast backwards looking over their left shoulder is their claim to fame. Cleveland - jumps! Stomping on beat (literally mesmerizing), group skating. Striding. Detroit - high kicks, intricate footwork using their toe stops, group formations. Cali - LA based. Sliding on fibers. Smooth. I like how they customize dress shoes into skates. St Louis - couple and ballroom skating. G slide DMV area - snappin. 180 degree pivots on one leg. Footwork. Like how there is someone else skating with them to support the “snap”. What’s your favorite style???

Y'ALL!!!! If you haven't been following @Albert Schepis 's skate journey here you need to. This is my new favorite skate channel. The progression, the determination, the inspriation, the thrills, the spills, the efforts, the pure joy and comedy.

The weather finally permitted me to go outside!! I’m so happpyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeee lol Yayyyyyy

Night grind hits different when it’s you + wheels + peace.❤🛼

Donald O'Connor from "I Love Melvin" - 1953. Fred & Ginger did great skate/dance routines and so did Gene Kelley. One youtube I love to watch is: Old Movie Stars Dance to Uptown Funk (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M1F0lBnsnkE) No roller skating but damn.
