Mastering Fundamentals Is The Real Shortcut📈
Have you ever tried to learn a new move like a spin, pivot, or slide—and no matter how hard you tried, it just wouldn’t click?
There’s a simple reason why this keeps happening.
What if I told you the problem isn’t with the move but with your foundation?
It’s easy to want to skip straight to the cool stuff—the flashy spins, smooth JB footwork, or some Snapping & pivots. (My favorite btw😊)
I used to believe I was so good I could teach anyone an advanced move, even if their fundamentals weren’t solid.
But every time I did this…
The skater struggles.
The move looks shaky and inconsistent.
They leave feeling like there’s been no progress.
They need to understand a few fundamentals, and then it would come much easier.
Concepts like:
WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION
- Practice Bubbles Like This
- This tight rope exercise requires TONS of precision to do correctly
- Or weaving like this
EDGE CONTROL
WEIGHT TRANSFER
PROPER POSTURE
These are the fundamental pillars that I teach through. You see how these 4 are not about moves but the broader concepts that are at play as we progress and learn more complex techniques.
Understanding this is the difference between struggling for weeks and nailing a move in a single session.
Skipping fundamentals isn’t a shortcut; it’s a roadblock.
Pick one of these videos to practice at your next session, spend 15 minutes on it, and tell me how it goes here!
