Skills you find "weird"

[twinskaters]

If God, evolution, or the aliens of "2001: A Space Odyssey" had meant us to skate, we would have been born with blades on our feet.

Is there anything about skating that isn't weird? 

Yes, this! At my first lesson my coach told me this is no longer earthly movement, and that it would all require a whole new outlook. So far, I fully agree. I've only been working on it since the end of April, so basically it all still feels weird.

Ditto on the back inside edging... I somehow managed to do those with new blades. It still didn't make me comfortable, though.

Back 3-turns. Those things are very tricky

This!

For me, they are just about possible on my good side, but simply do not happen on my bad.

Yeah... those are hard. Sometimes I hit the toe pick or trip over my heel and crash. My coach does this funny "BWAHBWAH NO" when I don't check them.  Hello unintentional spin!

Outside Mohawks and backwards cross rolls. Who decided that such things were necessary? Lol
