hehe, not bad for your first time. the trick to CC ski'ng is all about the glide. stop that goofy attempt at taking steps, and try to slide on 1 foot longer, then the other, and alternate. use the poles to keep the momentum of the slide. so instead of our typical step step step . . . try a glide glide glide .-. .-. .-. and use the poles midstep to push off. to go uphill you angle the tips out so a \/ of sorts. and do a normal step, using the poles to stabalize you. fun sport :)
Thanks for the comment. Thats what I was having trouble with. I saw people stepping but wasnt quite sure what they were doing. I tryed your method and I kinda slipped while stepping. Its hard but hopefully ill get better.

Thanks for the comment. Well I did a lot better than I thought Id do. I went up and down that area 5 times. Only fell once.
