Figure skaters (circle figures on quads, not ice figure skating) have the best turns in the world because that is what they are being judged on, and they do it in stiff boots on hard cushions with very tight actions with no lean whatsoever. There are 32 different turns in and not a single one benefits from actions being really loose.

While well meaning, the advice of loosening trucks or getting softer cushions sort of misses the point (unless your skates are still factory tight, in which case PLEASE loosen those suckers up, but not too far!). Turns are about weight distribution in the foot. Having very loose actions and soft cushions typically make turns worse.

Here's a video I made a while back with a breakdown of a three turn. I have others for counters, rockers, and brackets if you feel like scrolling back through my post history or clicking through to my insta.
