Michelle, feels like it is time for you to pour some genius estro-magic into designing some wild park trucks....✨👀

Michelle I just want to stop by and say how inspiring you are!!!! I just got back into roller skating (used to do it more when i was a kid) and you've been such a huge icon for me in this time. I'm from Huntington Beach so I guess you just hit super close to home for me. Keep doing your thing!!!!!

This is great. I love that blade and rollerskate culture are becoming more intertwined. I havent tried grinds yet but keen to try and I am lucky I have blading friends to help me understand them. Totally true that they all feel very different (I only stepped on a mini ledge so far). Thank you for posting

The only difference with mini ledge and proper ledge is just the jump height. I got some problem when doing 2 foot grind but at least I can jump with one foot resting on the ledge when grinding. My maximum jump height is 120cm, which is slightly Ok, but I can only jump into stall on 80cm height max

Excellent Demo. Love the pants, goes well with the skates. A++

Much appreciated! ❤️

I’m just so happy that you are showing you skating again!! Congratulations on your new home!!

This was very helpful. I saved this to reference later when I’m trying some things at the park. I’d like to see the breakdown of the difference in weight placement for some of these stances.

Yaaaayyyyyyy. This was great 👍 and love the new place. So happy for you all. Big cheers from the east coast.

Michelle I love you! Thank you for the time stamps. Here's to 202FUN and your groovy new home 💛💜

I love you!!!!! You are so welcome and HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Thank you so much for this video ! In quad skating I find it difficult to learn because most people I ask learn from an inline skater!

Yesss to these tricks 👏🏻

So amazing Michelle! Keep the videos coming 🤍

Awesome video! Just started skating in bowls (since we can’t derby) and bought my first Moxis at 51! Thank you!

“Trickionary” ( no idea how that would be spelled ) 😂🙌 never heard that before but love that. Have definitely been looking for some sort guide with a list of names and descriptions and how to’s for each trick/moves

Love it! Thank you for adding your voice to help quad skaters understand trick names and LOVE love love your new home! xoxo

'then i fall safely and happily to the floor' haha love it. So glad you have your own chanel and excited to follow!!!

That’s so awesome!! I have to learn not freak myself out! But I’m try it out🥰

I appreciate this approach and the breakdown you give. Would love to have you break down some of these tricks, maybe with a progression from easier to balance to more difficult? Thank you Michelle!

Difficulty is subjective but starting with a backside stall will help you learn grinds along the coping parallel like what is required for all the other grinds

Look at some inline trick sources. They are a great place to get ideas, and give a reasonable idea of what might be a good trick progression. Just keep in mind that some of what is easier on blades will be harder on quads and vice-versa, and different people will find different things easier. For example, the soul grind is *usually* the first most basic grind on blades. I find those much more awkward on quads, where other people find them their easiest grind on quads. The Mizzou is the easiest grind for me. Similarly the Kind Grind is a tougher trick on blades, but the [Box Grind/Kind Grind/Negative Mizzou] is one of the easier grinds.

Love this and yes for trick break downs please! I’ve hit a plateau in my skate park/mini ramp journey and would love to see a further break down of these tricks so I can give them a try. This video also makes me miss Moxi skate camp so much! Looking forward to the skate community being able to get back together in person again. I miss skating with everyone!

Love the breakdown! Quick question, what plates and trucks are you using? I got penny trucks and they don't fit my reactor pro plates, I rather kept my plates but I really really what to try wide trucks, I'm missing the fun!

Yorely, I can't wait for you to visit! The trucks are 1st edition Sure Grip trucks first promoted by Lisa at Rollergirl.ca SG has redesigned them to be taller but they feel unstable to me since the pivot arm is so long. They are attached to the Marvel plate that comes on the Beach Bunny skates.

CIB has a tricktionary on their site. It’s a work in progress but a good place to start if you’re looking to find some quad specific names and tricks

And here I was just enjoying the fancy skatework🥴...this was super insightful. Im a recreational skater on the East coast so learning the names of the tricks have me geeked🤓..you make it look soooooo easy☺️. sb: I ❤️❤️the skate asmr🤤

Seriously head or wheels for the new estrojen wheels. Your analogy to the perfect piece of chalk on a chalkboard is spot on! In looveee!

Omg it’s so amazing to watch you skate! Definite goals!! Please break down how to do it! Also jack 2s? Haha I just bought my jack boots should I be worried 😅

I really like the name "sunny day grind" much more than the inline counterpart's name :) Awesome skating as always!

❤️

Wow. Violently attractive.

Very nice! Thank you for doing this breakdown. I enjoyed watching all the nice, clean, technical grinds. To get a bit nit-picky, many of these tricks are ones that a group of us among the IGORS Admins and other groups have been debating proper naming conventions for. Our general consensus is that Negative is a better analog for grinds done on the ramp-side leg, rather than Topside. (Negative being the inline term for a grind on the instep side of the soul.) The balance point is a bit different with negative, but topside really requires the leg being cranked over. So Negative Mizzou or Negative Soul rather than Topside. I still feel like we need a better quad-specific term though. One trick where we do seem to have had a quad-specific name stick, is the Box Grind - what you are calling a Kind Grind. That is the term I would use for a grind with the leading foot sliding rotated into

@estrojen8755

Cameron- I totally agree that we need quad specific grinds/slides. The coping is directly underneathe the middle of our wheels- so I cant see a soul or a negative term actually applying to balances the same. Since box grind covers so many variations - it seems to me it should be respected for all the different ways you can do them. It becomes hard to teach or learn when 4 different poses are treated with the same name. We need more NEW terms - not borrowed ones and I have all the confidence the world that quad skating will get there with more talks like these.

I agree that the movements are more similar to negative grinds than topside grinds. That would make the “x-grind” more of a Stub Soul, right? At the end of the day it isn’t really either since there is no functional difference between “soul”, “negative”, or topside for quad skates (especially on a round rail). Perhaps it’s useful to think of it differently. Since the foot placement is the same regardless of the variation of the grind, it might be more meaningful to think of them in terms of frontside and backside. So, standard soul grind is frontside and negative/top soul is backside. On the other hand, standard Mizou is backside, while negative/top Mizou is frontside. The only place where this breaks down is makio/fish brain since they are one foot and could be truly forward-facing. Alternatively, quad skaters can borrow the term “far side” since this term doesn’t change the mechanics of the trick, only the approach. It also works because they are grinding on the foot furthest from the obstacle during approach. Or perhaps a new term that has no prior association with the sport (I.e. They could get anatomical and use “medial” to mean the inside of the foot towards the obstacle, and “lateral” to mean the outside of the foot towards the obstacle - “Medial Soul Grind” has a nice ring.) Nevertheless, I am ok with “topside” since they are still more on top of the obstacle, so IDK.

Weeee!

Hi im from turkey your so good on skatess 🌸😌

Hey Estrojen, can you please do a tutorial on backside stalls, I’m really struggling with them.

She’s said in another video that they won’t be released until they have caught up on all orders.

Do you believe it is better to do these tricks because of your wide trucks? Can these tricks be done on narrow trucks as well?

Did you use the word 'tricktionary'?! Hah - never heard this before! 🤣

Just want to clarify, there's Jack 2s in the pipeline?

What kind of trucks are those? And do you think they impact your ability to do those grinds? Thanks XO
