Are you making the most common mistake when transitioning from backwards to forwards? This video highlights this very prevalent problem and shows you how to fix it.So often as skaters we fixate on the skates and what they are/should be doing. Yes that’s important, BUT so often we then forget about the upper body and what it’s doing. It is very often the upper body that needs controlling in order to make skate moves look smooth and graceful (and easy). When technique isn’t perfect, then things look clunky and difficult.Many thanks to Cristiano from @SkatefreshMilan for allowing us to view his progress.For more intermediate level skills training, check out the courses listed below.Who is Asha Skatefresh?
