  • @Skiingarcher it's easier to maneuver, you can pivot on your toes, heels, or lean your trucks. or you can flip your back skate and bring it forward easily enough, too. most agressive quad skaters skate differently than one another, but the "crab" ("spread eagle", "sidewinder") stance is pretty common.

  • How have I not already found this clip? Awesome.

  • Rivival UK has started! Please add pro8skate on facebook and help us grow :)

  • @chingsk8 I think it's to provide more stability by keeping the center of gravity between the skates. When rollerskating, having the center of gravity move forward or back to much means you're going to eat it, so pushing the skates out forward and back like that gives you leverage to keep your balance better.

  • Incredible sidestance! Had I started skating half-pipes before I was 16, maybe I could have been this good. I could grind, do handplants, backside, frontside, 360s (both bs and fs), extensions (clutching a wheel and extending the leg), and split extensions. As silly as it sounds, I could never do a rolling drop-in. Started with my Ultimate II speed plates before switching to Santa Cruz (the adjustable bars) with 6" wide trucks.

  • @chingsk8 sorry i thumb downed you by accident and I cant change it!

  • Have your skates been produced for sale yet?
