Yes, I can sort of do ‘bubbles’(this is the term my partner has been taught by isle of skate for that move) backwards as well as forwards, just a case of keeping up the momentum and not panicking or grinding to a halt.
The joys of YouTube means there’s plenty of info out there, just need to up the confidence and muscle memory.
I can just about do a pirouette on the spot so think I’ll get there.
Lucky for me I’ve spent my life on skateboards so don’t mind falling over and have a bit of understanding about rotation and momentum.
I got wrist and knee pads so a bit less concerned about knackering myself.
Forum skate meet up soon?
