I cannot for the life of me get my left inside Mohawk to work. (Right inside works fine)
I've practiced this thing until I'm blue in the face, and still end up doing a kind of 3-turn on my right foot, instead of stepping down with the left and lifting my right simultaneously.
The sub teacher said last time that I should reach way back with my left arm and shoulder when rotating my body box, and I've done that to the point of losing my balance backwards (BAD!!), but it still doesn't work.
I've noticed that really looking over your shoulder (like craning your neck until the muscles scream stop)helps a little.
The 'real' skaters tell me that it's probably because humans aren't symmetrical, and some things are much easier one way than the other, which is probably the truth.
Anyone out there have any little secret tips to share?
Thanks!
