    Great skater .. I was wondering .. when you do your tutorials can you film a portion from behind .. if us, as viewers could follow you from watching your back ..it’ll be so much easier to learn .. than watching your front as in THIS type of video ! If NOT .. your videos are great .. keep assisting !

      Sure, that’s a good idea! I’ll add a back perspective

      I’m honestly surprised there aren’t more POV tutorials in general

    Thank you for breaking down step by step. It's much easier for me to follow (been trying this drill for 2 years and still the hardest for me) 🙌🏼

    Thank you. When I realized you were crossing the back foot over the front it all made sense.

    Hello, nice video, yes, commenter was right, some of us do not have rhythm but still try. Any ideas on places to practice before going to a rink? Not in Tampa. Are you in a parking deck in this video? I second the suggestion of showing moves from behind, not facing camera so that we do not have to think about opposite/mirror view :)

      I was just repeating what the Diamond walker said cause it caught me off guard and it was funny the way he kinda reluctantly said it keep the faith I'm not a good skater but I challenge myself that's the key just get to it

    • @DiamondWalker
      @DiamondWalker  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Yes! any local tennis court or basketball court. Even if you have or know someone with a garage. You don't need a ton of space to practice just make sure the surface is even.
      And I need to do a better job of the behind angle lol I tend to forget to shoot that part.

    Another great tuturiol! We liked the additional quarter turn you added as well. What kind of wheels are you running?

    • @DiamondWalker

    I have wider wheels, do I need to switch over to wheels like yours?

    • @DiamondWalker
      @DiamondWalker  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      No you're wider wheels should work fine for this kind of footwork

  • @magvan7874

    I appreciate your tutorials, but you really need to either turn around, or refer to the right as the left, etc etc
    Otherwise, it's confusing.

      Lol, I was in a skate class today, and I've never felt whiter. Facts: the 3 women of colour in the class were simply better than the rest. The wall of mirrors doesn't lie. I am 100% less cool looking when I skate. Before today, I actually thought I had rhythm. I rhythm skated growing up ffs. 😂
