The Pendulum Move

This is a typical rhythm skate move for beginners, to catch the groove in a rather simple way, with some nice additives for the more advanced rhythm skaters. The basic Pendulum Move, consists of two separate moves: 1. switching legs; 2. switching legs with a turn right behind this second switch and thus alternating the left and right leg into the front position. This is the `challenge your balance` phase (or ground control part). To improve your Pendulum Move, practice in 2 counts, 4 counts, 8 counts and eventually progressing to nonstop flowmotion. To control your roll, add single leg swing ups as you make turns. When you get more confident, add multiple leg sweeps and other variations as you go through the motion. (Throw in some Crazy Legs for instance, to get more ground control!) To reach a sense of flowmotion, just do it and do it and do it till you're satisfied! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Soulful Fitness - Roller Skate Training developed by Quadsk8.
