Skate the cones
September 4th, 2006

Just got back from practicing for a few hours. I wanted to spend the night working on the moves themselves, and tomorrow i’ll work on transitions between them. Tonight, i learned a couple new moves (spent some time on the universkate videos page first):

1) One Cone Stroll
2) Special

I tried to remember the front volte from seba’s video, but couldn’t figure it out… hmm sounds like a justification for an ipod video…

The Special is kind of cool. I didn’t realize this till after i started doing it right, but its just the X, but you’re only on your toes the hole time. Being so close to the X, its easy to transition into and out of from the X, and therefor all the other moves that I can link with X.

I also practiced my old moves (Crazy and Mabrouk) and all the moves Naomi showed me at the workshop:

3) Crazy
4) Mabrouk
5) Double Crazy (Stroll)
6) One Cone Crazy
7) Crazy Sun
8) Volte
9) Italian
10) X
11) Nelson
12) One Foot Backwards
13) Sweep

While I was out today, 4 different people asked me about slalom, and getting into it. I’m thinking of starting a Philadelphia club for freestyle slalom, I’ll announce it on here if i do. So i’d say i did my duty today (practicing, and spreading freestyle slalom). Hope tomorrow is as good.
