AC Wave
[Detail]
|
Cone: 2 | DoD: ?.?
|
Essentially a backstab following a snake (wavy) path over the cones. (Out-of-phase backstab)
Uphill leg leads the cross.
Skate distance (during transition) from the course centerline (snake or wave amplitude) is approx. shoulder width.
Head can follow courseline, letting boddy swing back and forth.
The difficulty is in following the wavy pathline at a sufficient amplitude, and then coming back for the next cone.
Invented by Scott "ShadowCat" (?) from NYC, in 1995.
Example begins leading with right foot.
Cone 1: BCLR from right to left side of course.
Cone 2: BCLL from left to right side.
Cone 3: As cone 1. (WRR)

Since the AC Wave, is essentially an out-of-phase backstab, the first
variation is to make it unnatural (as in the Freakshow):
the downhill leg leads the cross.
Or just to a streetsweeper.

Cone 1: BCLR from left to right side of course.
Cone 2: BCLL from right to left side.
Cone 3: As cone 1. (WRR)
