I would like to have seen more of the uphill drill in the grass. Were they stepping? I find it very difficult to keep my skates in a straight line when I skate unless on the level, going slowly. I have high top hard boots. Scissoring is hard too. I taught myself uphill skating, and I carve pushing outwards starting with my toes pointed outward, and lifting as my skate straightens, pointed forwards, kind of the opposite of what anybody else does. I am not optimistic this will work for me.

weird hill climbing technique...why not just release in the usual way, then set down at an angle ?

uphill technic sucks
