A wise horseman has been known to say 'Practice does not make perfect' - 'Only perfect practice make perfect'.
This is a video of me practicing at improving my practice.
The movements are uneditted. I am aware that I am not always looking where I am going because today I am
finding my right leg does not want to track through/forward straight. It is wanting to externally rotate which
pushes my knee out to the side. There could well be a couple of reasons for this. I've just been for a surf and
I am tired or I may need to release some tension in my glutes or somewhere else in my body (l mean that
literally - there could be tightness anywhere - in my foot, calf, thigh, mid back etc). I also lift my back leg once
I am standing, trying to teach myself to adjust my weight forward once up. I am a body nerd. I like to break
movements right down and practice them incrementally. Interesting for me, boring for everyone else.
I don't know if these show enough of the forward momentum you were talking about Maria, let me know and
I can post the images you have seen.

Hey Maria, you say digitally. You don't mean I have to learn another computer skill like Zoom or something do you?

Hi Maria, I was looking at OMBE on my phone which seems different to the computer, I saw but can't find now a
post you made to Roxy about having a study group. At the moment I am a bit lost in all the info so that might be a
good idea. Or I need a spreadsheet or something to keep me on track. I just watched the video on Speed Generation
and it is nicely broken down into activities for beg, int and adv. So yes I'm up for something, as I write I think for me
a spreadsheet might work for me. I took some video of me surfskating this arvo which I will put on line for others
to critique.

Same day.

I think it is ok now. Please let me know if not.
Also while I'm here and if you have watched the video. Can anyone recommend
a beach I should be near if I go to Bali at the end of July. My only request is that it isn't
too polluted.
