Best online tutorials / progression?

Hi all, I'm a long time skater but am pretty new to wizard skating. There are tons of tutorials online, but usually on one specific move... or generally outlining a progression (like fakie gazelle -> forward gazelle -> forward inside out -> etc).

As someone who's spent a lot of time on fakie gazelle with meh results, I'm wondering if there isn't a good series of progression videos online for me to follow. I see that SkateFresh has a whole online course, but at $500 it's a bit too steep for me.

What tutorials got you your first tricks, and what's the best progression (or drills) to get started?

The official Wizard skate moves page is actually the best

Pay attention to the edges & weight distribution, they're essential. Copy the form, record yourself. Get clean parallels/trees before gazelles/lions

Junkyu Park to see them in motion

One issue with video tutorials is that everyone has their own style and usually deviate from the most fundamental forms of the movements. So if anything else, watch a lot of them

The skate moves page is awesome, don’t know how I missed this.
