My "how to" on hurricane topsoul.

[Steve_metz]

This was just for myself but I think if it will help other people learn this trick I should share it with everyone. I based this off the way I did the hurricane topsoul compared to Aragon on the same obstacle.

Hurricane topsoul left footed soul right foot leading

Start from further back than usual when spinning about a skate length away from the object in all directions. As I’m spinning throw the spin with my right arm but keep arm bent not extended as I'm spinning.
Left arm tucked and up so my thumb is above my head and my right arm is tucked into my side: at this point my skates are still touching the ground
At the point of my 180 I have jumped into the air my legs are still bent slightly
Turn and look down through the armpit of my left arm as I’m at alittle over 180 and I will see the obstacle I’m trying to grind. My knees will now be tucked as much as possible.
Keep rotating keeping your left arm high so it is now over your head and your right arm will be diagonally across from you to so you will not be off balance while spinning
Land in topsoul position with the back foot first then front upon contact my left arm will be slightly away from my head but still bent.
Now your left arm will move from further away from your head other arm will counter balance your left arm by being to the side but lower on the right side of your body
Now you should be in topsoul position bring your right arm forward and your left arm will move back until it is almost behind you
Now your right arm needs to counter balance your left arm by moving across the body and the left arm will be slightly bent and behind.
Balance the grind and land fakie

YES, Mr. Sparkle. That reminds me of something I was told last weekend that someone from Europe said. "Rollerblading is like the subway, You get on the rail and then you get off the rail". Made me laugh as did your comment haha
and yeah fakie is optional sometimes its just easier to land forward.

[SilentAssassin]

turn with your head facing as far to the way your spinning so that you can see where your about to lock on before you complete the spin completely. keep your feet at the same plane, so that they land on the rail at the same time, instead of swinging your toque foot around after.



learn trick.

Like I said its just for me but I thought it might help some people with a few things I saw that I wasn't doing correctly. I had my arms all awkward while I was spinning.

That was the most asinine statement I've read in a very long time.

Please do not ever post in this topic again; people will not understand you're idiocy.
