1 Week of slaloming and my accidental backwards skate

8/5/2011

The video above is my fourth session on the quest for slalom awesomeness...

For the last seven days 'inline slaloming,' is all that I've really been thinking about. When I'm away from the park I'm on the internet watching how all the awesome people do it.

I haven't got any cones yet and I'm only slaloming random twigs on the ground. Just trying to get some flexibility without worrying about anything to trip on. I'm trying out ways of moving my feet that I wouldn't usually do. As a result I seem to have accidentally discovered how to skate backwards which is something I've been wanting do for years! Big score. 

So something to take away from this week: If something isn't working, you got to change your approach.


Below is a video from slalom champion Naomi Grigg, I've lost count how many times I've watched this great tutorial for the grapevine.
