    I've been working on this for awhile now and have noticed some people find it much easier than others. For me I have come to the conclusion that my hips are a problem and do not open enough, left hip being worse, this also impacts my transitions. My solution is yoga and especially hip opening exercises. Still an ongoing process but getting easier the more yoga i do.
    So if your struggling with this, search CZcams for hip opening yoga exercises...

      @@artzmove571 I don't consider myself flexible at all (sit at a desk all day, unable to sit cross-legged), and eventually got it. You have to build up the muscle strength to hold it through repetition, took me a few weeks of consistent fails to get it.

    I can imagine myself doing the move as I'm watching.
    Just got to put it into motion now. It's definitely a part I hate about my skating, transitions are at a slow speed and even still my backwards skating doesn't feel stable like my front.
    I'd happily fully bomb a hill going forward not so much backwards.
    Scissoring my legs is easy going forwards.

    • @PaleBluu
      @PaleBluu Před 2 lety

      I consider myself to be more flexible than the average male and took me almost 2 months of regular practice to get my hips that open. It definitely helps if you perform hip opening exercises and stretch regularly (every day). I would watch TV at home standing with my hips in that position (use a chair or table for balance). It takes practice and it won't come fast for most, but eventually you'll get it.

    • @DeezSkates
      @DeezSkates  Před 5 lety +2

      Softer urethane wheels are best for outdoors, while hard wheels can serve better for indoor rinks with properly coated floors. You will need to look at the durometer rating. A higher number equals a harder wheel. Lower number means a softer wheel. Durometers tend to range between 70a (softest) and 100a (hardest). Preferences differ between inline and quads, but I personally use 85a hybrid wheels called Atom Poisons for my quad skates.
