thank you so much :) the energy levels were way up!

Those S turns are haaaard. Is so easy to end helicoptering. My right foot is hurting from those backwards Lions, also freaking hard and I'm glad I'm not the only one.

Im trying to mix some wizard moves with slides 😍

[@billyarlew]

@@Foxmizou it’s definitely a challenge but it keeps it fresh!

Hi Billy! Wizard Practice or flatland practice?! Love from Brasil. 🇧🇷♥️

[@billyarlew]

Well in my personal definition, wizard includes obstacles, so I just think of this as flatland since there weren’t any (intentional) obstacle interactions 😁

[@matthaffner6848]

Nice work. Getting close to a proper S myself. Just need to tighten up the back lion and get the reverse pendulum motion down - currently have to tap the free leg on the ground to get the pattern. Looks like you're on the One frames. I never got a chance to look too closely at them, but you/someone else mentioned they use something like a floating piece inside the frame to make the multiple configurations work? Does that make it a hassle to rotate the wheels?

[@billyarlew]

Sounds like you’re very close if all you have to do is tap on the ground. The other piece is probably just making sure you trace a nice wide S shape on the ground with your skate. The ONE skates frame has no bearing bosses on the inside, so you must use a washer on each side of each wheel, or use IQON bearings with the boss integrated into the bearing. I’m using the washers and it’s a bit of a pain at first but when you figure out certain little tricks it’s pretty smooth. I’ll make a video soon to show this process and share the tips that I’ve discovered

@@billyarlew Sweet thanks Billy. Got a chance to demo the Wizard advanced which was quite nice for heel/toe moves. But those one frames captured my attention due to having the same setup and being much lighter.
