Cross Stepping!!!!

**Punch** · 09-26-2009 05:38 PM

I don't care how many people may have done a post like this.... But I want to scream it from the mountains I'm so happy!!

I just went out for 45 minutes in the rain and ended up coming back to my apartment cross stepping!! I practiced the footwork in my room last night and went out and nailed it somehow

Kinda sloppy I guess cuz sometimes I gotta jump back cuz I'm on the nose but whatever I dont care right now.... Im so happy!!!!

Tips for those learning: Keep them feet forward. Stay light on your feet. Throw them arms up to get that balance when your starting. And try and distribute the weight evenly. Don't just step hard on one foot heel side, otherwise you'll carve way to much.

ya i hear ya, just started cross-stepping today, i can do it really well on my friends s9 illuwani, but for my board i have to tighten the trucks A LOT, and my board is only like 40/42 inches, and its width is 9" at the most. kinda sucks, cuz if i wanna do anythin beside dancing i need to loosen the trucks back down a lot,

Congratulations.
Now go conquer all the other dancing tricks out there! Try the Shanker next, not one of the harder ones in my opinion.

I know what you mean, I had to learn on my LY Battle Axe, it wasn't the best nose right out of the box, but now it's ground down to near nothingness.

Still my first board and an awesome one though, love it to death.

HEY DANCER! I need motivation to learn new moves. How about we challenge each other for grooves?

I accept your challenge. Be warned, I was practicing in my garage today. Rain cannot stop me.

dancing on the FSM is by no means....un-doable....shutup....But it just doesn't seem like it's as spacious and fun as it should be so now I want a dance deck again. It's like if it isn't wanting one deck it's wanting another. This is ridiculous.

Well, what kind of dancing are you doing? Cross steps probably won't be too hard on it.
