I used to be a skater too, but it’s been 4 years ago, and I put on lots of weight!! I don’t think I still can maintain that kind of agility..:( anyway, excellent skills, I used to do that too. But I now suck, so I don’t skate anymore.
Excellent video. Thanks for sharing.
that is skills
Correct.
So sharp eagle turns are needed tho.. To learn this, we need to lean drunken sailor movement and the eagle turn on both sides, left & right. That’s what is needed here, right?
I got one95 theyre amazin lol
Ok, hope to see a video.
ok cheers, shouldnt be too hard think ill crack this one
It is:
One “Drunken’ Sailor Movement” that slides into one Eagle Turn;
One transition step (just a step out of the Eagle Turn to get forward again);
One “Drunken Sailor Movement” that slides into one Eagle Turn on other side;
— and repeat.
so its drunken sailer x1, then eagle turn x1? or is it 2 drunken sailers per eagle?
Helmets are not really a big deal, especially if you don’t need one. The protective equipment that you really need are wrist guards, elbow pads, and hip protection. Although, the hip protection you might not need until you start jumping. And once you start jumping, you’re going to also need knee supports, so your knee joints don’t go bad.
Hey dude,
I never ware a helmet while I skate, altho I never fall on my head. Is that a bad thing..? What are the risks..?

man your the best in the us and the world
Thanks. A lot of figure skaters are better
you’ve gotta be like the best skater in the U.S.
ya man go for them if they fit, the vapors are a really good skate.. i had xxx’s wore out fast but the new ones are quite a bit better, the one95’s are probably worth the extra as there stiffer though, loving the felt tongues too.
Could anyone tell me what’s the name of song at the begining?
It’s a little similar to insanity trick.
Damn, you are talented indeed. I tried to do the same trick on ice myself, but can’t even get close.
No coach. No hockey. I am self taught. I am an Xtreme Ice Skater.
Where and how did you learn all these footwork? Did you have a coach and play ice hockey before?
Yes, the high-end skates are good. I think the 190’s are really stiff.
dan are nike bauer skates good?
Absolutely.
control on this level must take a hell of a long time to learn
Hey Dan, can you elaborate on the Eagle Turn. I can’t quite seem to get it. When I try it I end up going is a circle (360), but you seem to manage to keep going from that semi-circle to forward. When I do a short half turn, i end up facing backwards instead or forward. Any tips.
