How to Ride Quarter Pipes with Rollerblades Part 1

[@redline1251]

Thanks! Approaching 40 years old and this will help me work on my weakness. Never too late

[@pev05]

Just stared blading again after 20 years.....falling hits differently awesome video thank you!

[@ericschrage]

Loved the tidbit about toe to heel and bringing your feet together. All the transition videos talk about the beginner stagger, but don’t mention that! Awesome!

[@honey5578]

This really came just at the right time! I've only just started the quarter pipe a couple of days ago and I'm getting the hang of things slowly. One of my main problems is that I tend to end up jumping up to the top rather than rolling up to the coping of the quarter pipe. I'm not used to the feeling and I still get scared hahaha. I can't wait to try out your tips when I hit the quarter pipe again!! Thanks :)

[@joshacosta7986]

Wait till part 2. I cover that exact topic on "jumping to the top" Good luck!

[@klainsasser]

Yesterday a could for the firts time stand on the copping ,thanks to your video,I'm 46 and been rollerblading since january 2024.

[@parradox83]

Dropped in my first quarter pipe today...at 38 years old! Then stayed at the ramp for 3 hours, just repeating the movement. Was absolutely buzzing. Tried get a few stalls on the coping but would always overshoot onto the top. Anyway just gonna keep chipping away at it. Real happy

[@acostablades8138]

That is awesome! Keep having fun and Blade often!

Never had access to vert growing up so learning has been a whole lot of fun. I definitely struggle with the coping so I really appreciate this. New 50/50 wheels coming in today, can't wait to bring them to the vert this weekend! Thanks a lot man, keep killing it!

[@joshacosta7986]

Enjoy!!! Those wheels are so grippy and soft

[@32dafunk]

Dude, this is super-gold stuff man. I wish I knew the nuances of transition when I first started skating - just had to figure it out with lots of falling! Ok at it now though😁 Props to you. Your a fantastic teacher !👍

[@joshacosta7986]

Thanks bro, had to do the same lol Lots and Lots of falls. But with that came success

[@corpsebiffi]

OMG, Acosta, finally you´ve recorded this videos series. Quarter pipe, mini rmp, half pipe, whatever. I was waiting for it.

[@daviddunneart]

Love your videos man keep it up great for the blading community

[@AndreyMotorichev]

yo! really helpful! Thanks man! Im 34 and learning quarter pipes now:) Love from Lithuania

[@the.rolling.sloans]

Going to be working on doing more quarter pipe riding/tricks and couping grinding this time around. Looks like so much fun. But then again you do make it look easy lol. 😂

[@joshacosta7986]

Dude I wish we skated quarters back in the day. There's so much value from skating them. Like riding a wave! So fun!!! I had to completely change the way I skated when I came back. That was the best part. Getting to relearn something i love to do. Have you tried to connect with the blade fam out there?

[@the.rolling.sloans]

@@joshacosta7986 yeah I'm trying to approach my skating differently this time. We haven't had a chance to meet up with anyone yet. I know Lawrence and Long are out here. There have been a couple meet ups but we haven't been able to go. But that's on the list for sure.

[@joshacosta7986]

@@the.rolling.sloans If you need anything hmu. I'll have D text you my number. I combined my approach to bodybuilding with skating. Get the reps in! Having a good community is so important for skating. I think it was why we all stopped. Well... part of it. Also during the early days everyone was competitive especially me lol but now it's just about individual growth and having fun. While sharing with the community. Lawrence is a good guy he tends to skate more solo. Idk about Long but theres the guacamole crew out there. Or you guys could just move back and we can start a serious skate camp lol

[@the.rolling.sloans]

@@joshacosta7986 sounds good man. having kids is mostly what made me stop lol. Yeah I feel the competitive nature of it has changed to a much more positive upbuilding attitude now for sure. Moving back lol 😂 I like it out here too much. The weather stays nice for so much longer and windy days are almost non existent. Maybe one day we will do a road trip to Colorado and just hit up a bunch of skateparks along the way. 🤔 Keep up all the awesome tutorials.

[@joshacosta7986]

@@the.rolling.sloans yeah we definitely have the seasons here. We are tossing around some ideas of doing g the opposite. Road trip to you... lol or fly. Either way 2020 Goal: skate with all of you and the original blade fam. 🤙🏼

All these maneuvers are easy. I'm waiting for the next video, man. My name is Isac, greetings from Brazil.

Thanks! I'm back to blading after a 15 year hiatus. I've never been able to pull off quarter pipes. This is SUPER helpful!

[@mosesmcguinnessmusic]

Thanks fir the tips, they worked a treat! I had my first go on a quarter pipe today and managed to get on top, drop in and stall in soul and frontside!

Great videos man! Thanks for breaking it down, really looking forward for the next videos. I believe you’re the first that are doing it in depth.

[@eltelturbo]

Nicely put together tutorial. Thanks! Im just about managing to get out and land on my feet but wasn't sure where to go next. Will definitely try this soul stall and back in.

[@art0nblades]

Thanks for your tutorials! They are great and thanks to you I gave switch tricks a go. For me, however, it was much easier to try them on coping rather than on ledges (currently learning to stall all the soul tricks switch on a low coping but on ledges I'm still a bit terrified). It has to do with my dominant foot and shoulder being the left one, so actually doing a switch soul feels more natural rotationwise, while a normal soul feels more natural to lock but more difficult to turn (same with "switch" frontsides). Also not having to jump into the grind helps for me. Maybe something worth mentioning in the next quarter pipe tutorial?

[@VandKoala]

Great tips as always! Thank you!

[@caziteridici]

nice skates, I've got the same

[@70109004]

you are a very good instructor, thanks a lot for all these tips, I'll try them next time I go to skate park, I'm a rollerblader for a while but I got my first aggressive skates recently, so I would like to try a lot

[@kalox314]

Thanks for the tutorial!

[@thephorest]

Awesome vid and very helpful. Been waiting for this one! I'm gonna try visualizing the heel-toe action and see how that helps. I'd love to hear tips on backside stalls!! Those are killing me right now! Something about getting up there and turning my back to the coping...Thanks again!!

[@joshacosta7986]

Toe heel lol if you go in opposite of that you may fall. I'll cover the backside tricks soon. It's all progressive. Have fun

[@RichHayterSkater]

Thanks for this, Dude, but I struggle to even change direction (as in a 180) on a quarter-pipe. A quick tip for that would be most appreciated.

[@bernsahr]

Very nice videos!

[@Bavmorda]

I have some mental barriers to fight before I can take proper advantage of these tutorials. Mostly working on my 180s on ramps until I feel comfortable facing the quarter, and also just riding up and then going down fakie. I'm ridiculously terrified of not knowing what to do, and it's keeping me back... I wish it stopped raining here, even for just a couple of days! It's been more than a month since I last hit the skatepark.

[@inlineagressive1591]

Show!!!! i will start practicing 😃👍👍

[@ThePlugOfRugs]

You helped me out so much

[@forrealtrendz]

Good video!

[@lemonadebeat]

I always go over the coping when I’m trying to frontside stall, what do you do to stick to that coping?

[@acostablades8138]

Maybe try leaving slightly back as you go up the quarter, waiting for that perfect moment to lean at the top once your feet lock on. Wear a helmet while learning this, Good luck and get that front side laced!

[@lemonadebeat]

@@acostablades8138 thanks fam! I actually kept practicing earlier this week and that is exactly what I needed. It was nice to get it again! I’m glad! Thanks for replying🤙🏽

Excellent tutorial , if rollerblading was popular like skateboarding you would have 1 mil subscribers

[@rajiv2445]

I dont have any problem going up over the coping, doing 180s, sometimes doing transfers..... but i really have a problem on getting my stalls, the momentum always push me forward and its hard to lock into coping, do you have any tips on my problem? ill appreciate it! 😁😁

[@deboraandriani1688]

any suggestion how to avoid wax when you drop in from quarter pipe?or how to drop in safely without slipping off when the coping is all waxed?

[@joshacosta7986]

I'd say press firmly and evenly onto or into your grooves. Dont allow an imbalance to occur. Left leg or right... stay solid when dropping back in. Hope that helps. Let me know how it goes

[@deboraandriani1688]

@@joshacosta7986 Oh,I might try that because I always have the same problem,slipping of from quarter pipe when it's all waxed,when no wax it's all fine

[@joshacosta7986]

@@deboraandriani1688Give it a try, slip outside tend to happen when we put to much weight in one direction or counter direction. Do you ride aggressive inline skates?

@@joshacosta7986 What should we take into consideration with different skate configurations, regarding quarter and coping? Like on recreational skates without any h-block space, or between flat and antirocker?

[@tonyteh]

question! i'm using a freestyle setup. not anti-rockers or flat. would it be much harder to roll all the way up to stall? feels like i'd slip before i'd lock in the groove

[@acostablades8138]

Depends on your bearings and skill level. My son skates free style and can slide this coping. But on higher obstacles he struggles to make it to the top. You'll be alright depending again on skill level and speed. Once at the top you should have no problem locking in.

[@brianallison3110]

Been having issues controlling my speed and over shooting the coping. Any advise?

[@CostaBlancaFrenchies]

Doing a soul stall on coping is the worse pain ever on my ankle, the grind is fine but the stall is horrible, clearly I am doing something wrong :(
