Maria Molè I don't know about my leading leg not being my leading leg. On a surfboard it feels completely natural with left foot forward. On the surfskate completely wrong, but good to think about. The only thing I have been told I am a lefty with is my boxing stance. We are all just quirks of nature.
Yes I find going slow on land incredibly helpful. I heard another saying years ago "to go fast, you must row slow". Clayton just reiterated that for me.
When I watched your step up, other than the looking thing đ what were you unhappy with?

Maria Molè Hi Maria,Â
Sorry it's taken a couple of days to get back to you. Busy.
I still think your step up is good. Take a video from side on as well.
Send front on and side on to the community, see what others say.
Myself I would say slow it down or break it down even more.
Play with it. We are all different shapes and sizes. And I'm not talking weight here, more the differences in torso and leg length. If you have a long torso and short legs great, if you have a short torso and long legs maybe a little harder. I don't know this, I am just imagining it.
Clayton's method of getting up is the blue print, how best does it work for you
I find I need maximum height of my hips to get my back leg under me. So where do I need to place my hands to achieve this. It is a bit further back than in line with my chest.
