Big skating win yesterday

This year one of my goals was learn more jam skating moves to do at the rink on open sessions. I usually do artistic which i find hard to translate into jam. Yesterday something clicked and I took the little I knew (crossovers, edge work, single leg stuff) and got a great session in. It also helped they were playing a lot of some old school favorites (ex. Earth wind and fire) so I felt comfortable cutting loose. I wish I could've had someone record it so I could look back on it.

If anyone needs some inspo here are some moves I did using the foundational skills mentioned above

Crossover, step out, cross over, step out, and single leg "surfing" on the curve (surfing- imagine bringing one leg up so your making a 4 and coasting on the skating leg)
(Variation of 1) Stomp and step out
Front to back transition, back to front transition, front to back transition, kick out left heel, kick out right heel, continue til I slow down enough I want to go back to forward
Kick left leg, Kick right leg, repeat

I feel like I did more but I can't think of any additional right now.

Best of luck yall. Stay groovy 👌
