Crazy Legs Complete Breakdown - Rhythm Roller Skating

Crazy Legs, extensive breakdown and - even more important - full build up.
It's been a long time coming, since the August 2013 impromptu recording of the Crazy Legs Basic Form.
(   • Crazy Legs Basic Form  )

One, if not the most characteristic move in freestyle rhythm skating, known by different names around the world, such as scissors, toe jammin and zig zag, but Crazy Legs being the most common.

Let's first state clearly, that this is our take on this intriguing move; our personal understanding of and experience with this pattern. There are many different versions to do and ways to learn Crazy Legs.
This is simply just one of them, coming from years of experience with coaching and training a wide range of people.

Key element is the very often neglected and/or underestimated `Intermediate Position`, which truly makes or breaks the pattern and flow of any Crazy Legs.
Concentrating on good form is really not about aesthetics; it's all about
A. Using full potential of a technique.
B. Avoid and prevent harm and injury in the short and long term.

This snippet includes:
Basic Ingredients.
Pattern of movement.
Keynotes.
Intermediate position.
Ladder of progression.
Merging motions.
Crazy variations.
Isolated drill.
Constructional riff.
Bonus exercise.

For the sake of simplicity and time limit, we have excluded a whole bunch of details and variation pointers. Sorry `bout that, but we hope this snippet will give you just enough to polish and improve your flow!

And remember, repetition is the mother of skill.
