All aboard the struggle bus as I try to work out doing figure 8s....
Posting more as a way to keep myself motivated as I work towards the goal but comments are always welcome.
These are some of my "better" (LOL) attempts. I feel like getting my head low is really gonna be the only way to make the turn radius on the second half. After watching these, realize I definitely have to get my left arm up higher (above my head even) to hopefully help whip the board around. I can also lunge more, try to get the knees lower. I'll be giving those ideas a go tomorrow.

Maybe film a couple attempts with the camera setup across from the rollin to see if you have a little more room on that backside turn than you think. I see you have to avoid the rollin section, but maybe you can start that turn a little closer to it to give yourself more time/space to turn through that corner.

You are worried about falling and drop your arms to the ground. Look and point where you want to go

Your body looks very tense and hunched over.Try lifting the elbows and straightening your back and you should find it easier to move.

I'm having the same issues but I think it's a speed issue. Centrifugal Forces will only work and allow you to drop your head if you are travelling at speed. Try leaning your push bike on a turn when you're going slow and you're gonna kiss concrete. Speed is your friend on this occasion me thinks 🤔
