@sundownskater: What I wish I knew before learning the Grapevine ⬇️ There are a few key skills that made all the difference once I started working on them — and honestly, I wish I had focused on them earlier! 1️⃣ Skating backwards The Grapewine moves through both directions — so being comfortable going backwards is a must. 2️⃣ The “Open-the-Book” transition This forward-to-backward transition is basically half the Grapewine. If you can do this, you’re already closer than you think! 3️⃣ Traveling Crabwalk with direction control Unlike the regular Crabwalk, try this: • Turn over your heels when they’re together • Turn over your toes when those are together This builds understanding for the Grapewine pattern. 4️⃣ Heel & Toe balance drills If you want your Grapewine to look smooth and effortless — you need to get comfortable spending real time on heels and toes. It’s what makes the difference between just doing the move and owning it. Are you working on the Grapewine right now? Tell me where you’re at or what you’re struggling with - I’d love to help you out! ✨ Wearing my @chuffedskates & @piperquadwheels Lucky — Use Sundownskater10 to save on your own gear 💸 #rollerskatingtips #grapewinestep #howtorollerskate #rollerskatedance #learntorollerskate #rollerskatingmoves
