[@TheMadameLabrie]

Thank you for this because I am having a hard time with crossovers.

[@1crafter2another]

Can you do a mini video explaining where your weight is and what edge you are on during the " step, pull under, fall forward" ? It seems like the weight should follow, but for some reason I'm always off.

[@whalium889]

Notes: lean towards inside of track, drop front foot forward, reach opposite arm to inside track

[@lucrecer]

This is so useful

[@SensationallySilky]

Cross UNDER. **googly eyes** my goodness. (GRANTED, I have a ton of work to do on my left leg/balance but boy does this make sense)

[@Ivygirasole]

Ciao, che modello di pattini usi qui? Grazie

[@ertfgghhhh]

Still dont understand

[@lilmiss6665]

"beyonce is here" ...... "and over here"

[@Berserk1080]

Hi I've been having trouble doing mohawk turns, backward/forward transitions as well as sideways skating because lots of these moves require my pelvis to do the 180 degrees split and the most I can manage is around 130 ~ 140 degrees with my feet. Can you please suggest an exercise that can I do to train my legs so eventually I will be able to do the 180 degree split? Thanks. :)

[@rollerderbyathletics]

You don’t really need to have all 8 wheels on the ground at once and be in that 180 degree position to do a transition effectively. Combine pivoting on 2 wheels + picking up your feet quicker. For example, transitioning from forwards to backwards, turning left, you would pick up and place your left foot turned to the back while pivoting on the front 2 wheels of your right foot, and then quickly picking it up. It takes some practice! For side stance skating, a deeper bend in your knees can really help. Often with “turnout” limitations it’s a combination of flexibility and strength in your external rotator muscles.

[@bethanyneff4661]

There's no sound? I heard the sound during the logo, but no talking.

[@justincraven39]

i had the same issue, but there is sound ONLY in the left speaker/headphone

[@jamilay6836]

I would definitely save Beyoncé 😂
