NICE!!
I like the smoothness and flow in your cross roll!! you really have nice bouncing knee....very soft ;)
nice posture too!! WOW ;)

Yes, but I wonder why the rips are only there for the backward and not forward strokes/rolls. I get them doing backward crossovers as well. None of my forward crossrolls or crossovers have that sound (or at least, I can't hear any) and there is just as much pressure or lean on the edge(s). Very strange!

I consider cross strokes and rolls to be the same thing. The difference between now and 2006: better edges and more lean :) the more lean you have, the easier it is to put that foot down (I had a "duh" moment about 1.5 months ago that made a big difference in how they feel). I've seen others mention the technique of putting the foot down before crossing, but haven't actually seen anyone do it, either.
Wow amazing. Wait do you skate at the rink in west orange, Nj?......can you post your pre juvenile moves by any chance?

I skate there sometimes during the summer, and very occasionally at other times.
Don't really have much pre-juv moves recorded, but there are 5-step mohawks posted.

Looking good! When I do backward crossrolls, it's very "noisy" (scratchy sounds on the ice, definitely not from toepicks), do you find that to be the case for you as well?

If you are talking about the ripping sound - that sound is good, it's caused by the pressure on the edge (I do have quite a bit of rip on these).

HEY!!! I didn't see you look behind you 'til the very end!!! I was half wishing I was right behind you just to see if you can see me making funny faces or something...LOL!!! :P
Otherwise, yeah, I see that your shoulders are being pulled back! I always wished I had your flow on those. *sigh* Someday...

I didn't say I always look behind me :P but that trick did help my friend to figure out what to do with the shoulders.
