[@TheCrowLady]

This breaks it down so well! Makes it so much easier to decipher what I need to practice instead of looking at tutorial and making the wtf face. Thaaaaaaanks!!

[@GlobalIce]

I am so happy this is so helpful. You are very welcome and happy training 😁👊

[@samfromuk]

Hi Cliff, another great video. lots of stuff to learn. I like the Step element, never knew what to call it, flat edge tricks to help me work and sort out my moves. Many good FreeStyle Instructors, you are the best by far, Thanks Global Ice!!

[@GlobalIce]

@@GlobalIce I'm trying to learn more about breath control during tricks, the 9th element. Thanks again for sharing

[@GlobalIce]

@@tomciras6672 that is very true. good point, sometimes we get into a set so much you forget to breath but its very important to keep your stamina up 👍

Amazing video!!!

[@GlobalIce]

Thank you 😁👍

[@SoftDistorsions]

Footage from the top view/angled top view can be really useful for parts like where you talk about the vine footwork, because we can really see the shape that is being made by the feet. Thank you so much for making these tutorials! Super appreciating watching these, slowly but surely putting it into practice. :^)

[@GlobalIce]

your very welcome and thank you for the support. im really happy they are helpful and thanks for the tip. Always trying to figure better ways of showing the movement in the best possible way to understand, so I really appreciate the feedback 😁👍

4:04 When I see a sweep then I press like :D

Thank you 😁👍

[@stawkey9186]

Great video! It would be awesome if you added short videos/gifs showing every trick mentioned in the ice freestyle chart (like Nagyerdei Korisok did on his website). It's hard to decipher some of the names

[@GlobalIce]

Thank you so much. its a good idea and a lot of moves 🤣🤣 I will definitely look into this, just shorts of each move or move combos 😁👍

[@7641_islands]

I love your vids hope you could answer my question… do you think its okay to still use my convertedinline skate to freestyle? Or should i buy a hockey skate?

[@GlobalIce]

Thank you so much, it is really up to your preference. I have friends that like the flexibility and comfort they get with there converted inlines and others that like the lightness and agility of hockey skates. I personally prefer hockeys for that reason, they are very light and I feel they offer more support for aggressive moves where inlines have more ankle movement so makes it easier to have more flexibility in moves. I recommend you try a friends hockey skate and see how you feel or get a cheap pair of hockey skates and try it for a month.

hm what does it mean to "center the circle" 3:48 ?

[@GlobalIce]

If you are in a cypher or battle circle with others around you sometimes you will start to move towards the crowd while freestyling. So "centering the circle" just means a way to bring yourself back into the center without breaking flow. Its important as you don't want to do a big move that might end up hitting someone if you aren't centered and give yourself enough room.

[@-E42-]

oh wow, a genuine break dance/hip hop concept :) Thanks for the clarification!
