Cross-stepping

I don't own this video in anyway

i learned to cross-step today. the first couple tries were terrible-- they usually ended up with my on the ground. finally after lots of experimenting, i found it.

up top is a video i found on the 'tube about cross-stepping. i certainly learned a bunch from it. here are some additional tips that could help:

1. whenever you decide to cross with your foot, put your weight on the foot that will stay planted on the board

2. keep trying (doh) you don't know how many times i failed this trick. i kept trying a KA-BAM success!

3. IF you are crossing with your back foot first, slide your front foot back on the board a bit. this helps give you some extra room to place your foot

4. use quick movements, being a sloth makes it harder to balance. don't rush, but try to have some fluidity in your crossing.

good luck!
