Hello!

 

Asking feedback on my speed skater squat.

I've gotten the lean forward smaller that when beginning, but wondering if it's good enough?

The touch to ground is still far from "gentle touch", but it doesn't bounce that much off the ground. I'll still need to work on that :)

What do you think?

No need to prioritize staying vertical.  The demonstration video fellow is misleadingly upright.  He actually takes his heel off the ground, which is NOT what you want.  Prioritize a slow, controlled descent.  If you think about the end goal, the pistol, you're going to be leaning far forward and require a lot of ankle mobility.
