So over the years I've struggled a lot with social anxiety, and I hoped that roller skating would help me combat that. It did in the start, but then I stopped for months. My anxiety took my skates away, in a way. But whenever I watch your videos I find myself missing skating SO much. I miss when it was summer and I binge watched your videos because I was so excited to start skating. So now, roller skating is one of the things I'm working on in therapy because it gives me so much happiness. I still use your tutorials religiously, and working to learn a new move keeps me motivated and excited to put on my skates. Thank you for your funny, uplifting and effective tutorials Katie, I appreciate them so much

Oh how wonderful! I’m honoured to be such a good part of your life. For me, skating is my happy place, I’m so glad it’s yours too 🤩😎💕⭐️🛼

Hey, keep going. Skating really can help and bring a beautiful joy to our lives. It's one of the biggest things, so for sure make sure you keep skating!

[@bonbons71]

@@ashed7637 you bet i'll keep skating! Thank you for your kind words

I'm gonna get this darn backwards skating before the end of the year-thank you!

[@Skatie]

You got this. Remember you can always give yourself a little push off from the wall or get a friend to skate in front of you to give you a bit of a push, a little roll really helps. 👍💕⭐️😎🛼

Your video comes just in time, I'm struggling with skating backwards in one foot but can't get the balance and confidence to achieve it. Thank you!!

[@Skatie]

Hope it helps you x 💕⭐️😎

[@alanrader3016]

Thank you very much! This is really interesting and timely for me😊

[@Skatie]

Love a bit of perfect timing! ⭐️🛼

[@neehadbaharuddin3106]

Thanks Skatie! Lately your videos have been quite advanced. Glad to see some basic videos for someone like me who takes forever to unlock skills

@@neehadbaharuddin3106 Have lots of fun learning xx

Hmmm. I left a comment on this one but it disappeared into the electronic ether. I did say "I'd been hoping for a fail-safe technique that'd allow me to keep one foot in the air for five, maybe ten seconds" - having always lost my balance after one second, max - but now it's clear that "fully transfer your weight right over" was what I wasn't doing before. So as of this morning, 9.5 seconds on my right foot and 7.0 seconds on my left are the new records, as opposed to one second and zero respectively. Håpla och skål! I'll be doing backwards crossovers by the spring at this rate.

[@Skatie]

Yes!!! You super star! I’m so proud of you. Sometimes it’s just that one little thing that makes everything click into place. Well done for persevering. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@baronthorsteinn]

@@Skatie Steady on! I'm not at superstar status yet. A year from now, maybe - that's the target...
