Watch this video to learn the everyone's favourite Wizard move. The Back Open Gazelle.
Skates: Wizard NR100 Complete
A Gazelle is a two foot, three turn. A three turn is a transition from back to front or front to back while changing edges and traveling around the arc of a circle.
The Gazelle is unique because it has two added variations - Open and Closed. Therefore the Gazelle can be done 4 different ways.
Forward Closed Gazelle
Back Closed Gazelle
Forward Open Gazelle
Back Open Gazelle
In this video we focus the Back Open Gazelle. To get yourself ready for the Gazelle there are a few steps to follow.
Predator - Gliding with feet slightly scissored, hands out and head up. With weight placement on the third wheel while rolling forward and second wheel while rolling backwards
Slalom - Slaloming helps with the with edge to edge weight transfer. Practise slaloming forward and back, make sure you are using corresponding edges.
Push + Pull - Push half of the forward slalom practised around the arc of a circle. Pull is the backward slalom practised around the arc of a circle.
Rotation with Push + Pull - The turning of your upper body timed with the push and pull movement
Now you can Gazelle!!!!! Yeah!!!!!

    You will probably not read it because the video is 4 Years old, but i love your very systematic approach where you cut it down into small, easy steps which can be trained separately. The ice on the cake would be, after naming the 4 variations of the gazelle to show them all to give us visual feedback :)

    Asha demonstrates the techniques perfectly, like she's explaining to a 5 year old. That's where you learn the moves from A to Z in a proper fashion. Then you move onto Shaun. He takes you deep into every move, makes you get immersed in the steps and lets you "internalize" the entire sequence even before you put the skates on.. I admire this guy deeply!

    Thanks for the video. I recognized this trick from one of your older videos. I have always wanted to do this. I’ve been working on 3-turns for a while, unrelated, and this trick looks like a 2-foot parallel 3-turn. I realize I already can do this but have never recognized it. Skating is amazing in how many people find different paths to the same movement. I love the discovery of skating. Keep up the awesome videos.

    I just started ice skating with hockey skates and really feel the rocker now. I have been using a lot of the wizard skating ideas learning my turns and edges. Sounds funny but it is very much translating across. It makes me realize how much I need to upgrade my inline setup for next summer.

I think it's very cool the way you translate your love for skating in (scientifical) tecnique tutorials like this. Also really had to laugh at 12:28 where you said you are biting your tong to not say anything but still you talk, because you really want the people to understand it and it truly shows your passion :) Keep on rocking with those awesome vids!

    I have found, that I love to hate you! Hahaha! I got back into skating inline at 38 years old. No matter how many instructional videos I find. I often find myself coming back to watch you. Even in my better days, I would not have said I broke novice level. Nor would I say I have yet. Sometimes, watching how detailed and meticulous you are about any instructional you deliver, can be painstaking at times. But, I have truly come to appreciate your breakdowns that come in fine tuned detail. If I did not care about the way that I skate, I certainly would not watch you LOL! Thanks for all that you do! I also love the shirt, I'm a big fan of all of the Four Horsemen! You, Stoppard, Tiago, and Lino!

    Oh wow...really great tutorial Shawn! I've been wondering how you guys do this. Do you need a rockered set up for this to work? I skate Xsjado's with a Kizer powerblade/72mm wheel flat set up. No probs doing slaloming crossovers etc - just gets 'sticky' when transitioning.

    I have GC Bigs with 72mm and I can do Gazelles. Gazelles are easier on a Natural Rocker but they can be done on any set up other than anti rocker. The biggest difference I find when doing Gazelles on 72mm wheels is the edging. I can not edge as much with smaller wheels.

    Attempting this highlights a consistent tendency with my skating: my weight always seems centered on my rear two wheels. It feels like I'm skating around on my heels. I've tried adjusting the cuff to a forward tilt, but that doesn't seem to help... any other ideas? Keep up the terrific videos! Many thanks from Oklahoma City Skates: Seba FRX; experience: novice

    My skate has a Natural Rocker set up. Natural Rocker is a 1mm rocker on the first and last wheel on a slanted UFS frame. UFS is the universal frame system the standard for aggressive skates. UFS frames are flat. Traditional frames have a raised heel. The slant of the Natural Rocker allows me to more freely pivot on the third and second wheel. You can develop a natural rocker on any skate by rotating your wheels 1 to 1, 2 to 2, 3 to 3 and 4 to 4. The natural wear of you wheels will create a natural rocker.

    Gazelles and 3 turns are very difficult on anti rocker. You usually pivot on the middle two wheels. Without the middle wheels you end up pivoting on the front and back wheels which has a different effect.
