This looks like a way more solid way to move laterally! Thank you for breaking it down so well too!!

[@ShortysSkateSeries]

You're so welcome!

[@melindabailey6429]

Love seeing alternate ideas for roller derby skillz. The smarty shuffle never made to much sense to me because as a blocker I cannot take or give much impact in the spread Eagle position.

[@ShortysSkateSeries]

Yes I agree.

[@timtamtmma]

I've been watching your old roller derby games, you are an absolute force on the track!

[@ShortysSkateSeries]

Thank you! I miss roller derby so I think maybe next year I might come out of retirement to play a few fun games 😆

[@RAVEN-ex6wk]

Thank you so much! This drill has been killing me at practice and seeing you break it down really improved my lateral steps.

[@ShortysSkateSeries]

I'm glad the video was helpful

[@justynedizon2770]

I love this alternative! In Vegas, my team calls lateral glides “type writers” and I could never hold a spread eagle well enough to glide smoothly/stably. I feel like it was always an uncomfortable position for my short legs. I will try this out for sure! Thank you for the video. 🥰

[@ShortysSkateSeries]

I hope it's helpful!

[@daedalusrho]

This is really helpful as i cant quite open my hips enough to side surf in a straight line.

[@ShortysSkateSeries]

I find the side surf position for roller derby isn't a very stable position to be in for a long time

[@Prince_Charming_1]

Thanks for your awesome training video on lateral steps.

[@ShortysSkateSeries]

Glad you liked it!

[@lisameyer9264]

My hips definitely don’t work for the big lateral glides. I’m going to try working on this instead. Thanks for breaking it down! ❤

[@ShortysSkateSeries]

I hope it helps!

[@Fennekku]

thank you for continuing to share your passion ❤

[@ShortysSkateSeries]

Always!

Does this damage wheels?

[@ShortysSkateSeries]

Not if you have the correct wheel hardness for the floor surface you are skating on.
