Rolling Stance and Striding

The ready position every other trick starts from: knees bent, feet about hip width apart, weight over the middle of the skates and chest a little forward. From it you push out to the side with one skate, glide, then push with the other.

1. Ready

   Stand with knees bent, feet under your hips and hands in front.

   CueSit a little

2. Push

   Turn one skate out slightly and press it out to the side.

   CuePush sideways

3. Glide

   Balance on the other skate and let it roll straight.

   CueRide one skate

4. Recover

   Bring the pushing skate back under your hip and swap sides.

   CueBack under you

1. IfStanding up tall with straight legs.
   ThenSink into your knees until you could sit on a high stool.
2. IfPushing straight back with the toe.
   ThenPush out to the side with the whole wheel line, like a skater on ice.
3. IfLooking down at your feet.
   ThenLook a few strides ahead; your skates go where your eyes go.
4. IfArms swinging wide and loose.
   ThenKeep your hands low and in front, moving gently with each push.
