Episode 16: Aggressive Inline Progression #8

[@goldcoastblading-nottoolat7805]

I'll give it a go in my next session practice. Great inspiration for getting the foundation right. Cheers!

Well I don't think this is particularly important skill to have for everyone. If you look at Joe Atkinson he's still an absolute weapon on transition and in a bowl and doesn't bother matching forward and fakie. Then go look at Dominic Bruce in a bowl, he matches forward and fakie and his flow is seamless. Learn it all and you'll only be better for it. 🙏

Your fakie work is looking solid. 💪🏼

Cheers brother 🙏

Your progression has been crazy bro. So much fun to watch. A little sad I was notified about this video 3 days later but better than nothing. Keep at it!

[@DanRoworth]

2QS thanks bro, appreciate it 🙏🏻 I’ll be honest I didn’t really go out of my way to advertise this one. It didn’t seem like it would be particularly interesting to watch 😂 my progression is the result of all the advice the community has given me, I can’t be thankful enough 🙌🏻

180 airs looking solid. I need to work on those. Good stuff as usual.

That was a lot of hard work. Is it just me here not understanding how going switch fakie will add more power? I am used to my feet position from many sports: snowboarding, kitesurfing, windsurfing, surfing, etc. Inline skating it is the same as in any other sport. Curious to learn more about this! Thanks for the video mate!

This is coming from what I've noticed. For me switch fakie puts my feet back in line with how I ride when I go forward. When I ride forward my left leg is trained to pump the hardest right? But when I go backwards my left leg becomes my leading leg. By switching my fakie stance I'm just putting my left leg as the main pumper again and my right leg back to where it belongs at the control point. This is probably pointless information if you're not a transition skater because that's where I've noticed the greatest impact. As for grinds, it opens up more possibilities if you can approach a grind from fakie in either direction for zero spin/spins. If nothing else it's good to keep your body on it's toes =) tl;dr You should learn both sides of everything 🙏
