Balancing On Roller Skates - Getting Control Of Your Roller Skating Fundamentals

[@scoobysnax8127]

Your videos are really good at explaining fundamentals and details that many others don’t cover. 👏

[@Skatie]

Thank you so much. 😀💕⭐️

[@Ellieisbetterthanyou]

Thank you!! I have had skates for about a year now and only used them a couple of times because every time I fell my mum would come rushing towards me saying if I was ok and freaking out lol 😂 I stopped after spraining my wrist because I landed weirdly 🤦‍♀ but I think I want to start again You're boosting my confidence so much, thank you!! xx

[@Skatie]

Take your time. These type of exercises are great for finding your skating legs. You’ve got this 💕⭐️⭐️

[@Ellieisbetterthanyou]

@@Skatie Thank you so much, I've been practising again and I can sort of skate forward now, I'm using the bending technique where you can't see your feet and I've got way more balance than when I used to do it without bending my legs a lot ❤💕💕

[@Skatie]

@@Ellieisbetterthanyou that’s fabulous! Well done.

[@loubylou1810]

Thank you so much for this video! My skating isn't improving at all and had a feeling it was to do with my balance. Can't wait to start practising

[@Skatie]

It can make a huge difference. Have fun xx 🛼💕

[@cycoklr]

Thanks for putting out these essential tips. I'm re-learning a lot of skating fundamentals from your lessons. I skated a lot during my tween-age years then I got busy with life and there was a span of almost 60 years before I decided to put on skates again. I immediately realized that unlike bicycling, skating skills are perishable. I'm almost 71 years old and physically active with cycling - pedal and motor. I crave the flow of winding motion and skating has it in spades.

[@Skatie]

Great to hear you’re back to it. I’m so glad the videos are helping. Have fun 🤩😎🛼⭐️

[@Missybeelondon]

Great video again To understand transferring weight from one leg to the other, and how the leg off the floor should be behind not to the side

[@Skatie]

Thank you 💕👍🛼

[@tren-d4116]

This is exactly the video I need! I'm not kidding I was going to search for it today!!

[@Skatie]

Fantastic timing!! 🛼

[@tracyheath6076]

This video will help me teach newbies with their balance. on their skates at the rink. And of course tell them to watch this video :)

[@Skatie]

Perfect. 👍💕🛼

[@lovemystery7328]

Awesome video like always. The "terrifying" was awesome too lol 🤣 Thank you both.

It’s Skatie husband here - pleased that someone notices the silly additions that I put in the edit 😁 thanks for the continued support

@@Skatie i love them-they are the cherry on top of already awesome and fun videos!

[@Quing_Accidentt]

Thank you! I'm 11 now and finally have some skates after 2 years I think, the last time I had skates I broke the cooker due to not having perfect balance so this will help me tuns xx

[@Skatie]

Oh no! Hope you didn’t get in too much trouble! Good to hear you’ve got new skates. Have lots of fun and don’t forget to wear your safety gear. Happy rolling 💕👍🛼

I was gonna start roller skating to work but I busted my head on the concrete. This really helped me figure out where my mistakes lie. Thank you.

[@Skatie]

🤕 glad the video has helped x. ⛑️

[@trishasmith2303]

Thanks for this video! This is what I’m going to practicing today.

[@Skatie]

Have lots of fun. Hope you get on well xx 👍💕🛼

[@MsWarriorchick]

It IS frustrating and THANK YOU!!!

[@BodegaMouse]

I used to do aggressive inline as a teen. Jumping stairs, and racing in the street. As an adult, I sadly had multiple vertigo episodes out of nowhere and tinnitus; it’s horrible. My balance hasn’t been the same ever since. Having to watch these videos now cause I just ordered roller skates and I also love my skateboard and longboard. Thank you for these tips.

[@Skatie]

Have lots of fun. Sounds like you have lots of relevant wheeled experience. How you get on ok. xx 🛼💕⭐️👍

[@squarala]

Great vídeo! I Will practice balancing as a warm up before skating :)

[@Skatie]

That’s a great idea! 🛼💕

It's hard for me to explain how to transfer weight and all the things that you perfectly explain in here. I'm using this video with my GF. Thanks!

[@Skatie]

Glad it’s helpful. x 👍

[@ZteveW]

Cool. I'll start practicing tomorrow and I'll come back in a week and let you know if it helped.

[@Skatie]

Yes please. Let me know how it goes.

[@actafewlactafew]

Youre so pretty!

[@justpennie5068]

i have a question, when doing the bubbles and transferring the weight, am i supposed to start skating in the direction i’m putting the weight?

[@oldhag287]

Where did you get your leggings? ❤Love this video! Good job!

[@Skatie]

Omg this are my favourite leggings. They have POCKETS!! 😂 unfortunately they are not branded they’re just ones I bought in my local high street. They are pretty similar to the “Instagram Leggings” from a couple of years back.

[@ElaOrana]

i have a fear of falling and when i put on my skates i feel so vulnerable

[@Skatie]

Take your time and get used to the weight static before you start to roll. You’ll get there

[@raisahh25]

Can i do these drills using 78a outdoor wheels?

[@Skatie]

100%. You might just find your roll stops a little sooner. As the wheels won’t glide as long as harder wheels.

[@michalaelton961]

I feel like I'm not really progressing due to really awful knee pain. Do you have any advice on how to mange/reduce the pain from bending my knees to get balance?

[@Skatie]

Unfortunately skating is heavy on the knees. Perhaps you could talk to your doctor or a chiropractor etc and see if they could recommend a good knee support or a taping method to support your knees. I hope you find something to help xx

[@thatssojasmine.]

I have so much trouble just moving cause the wheel are just so slippery anyway to fix that? Like could I tighten my wheels so they don’t rotate as much?

[@Skatie]

Do you know what skates you have ? Wheels come in different hardness ratings. So it will be interesting to see what rating your wheels are.

[@thatssojasmine.]

@@Skatie I have riedell juice skates but I have the luminous wheels which I believe are 85A hardness

[@Skatie]

85a is quite a soft wheel so they should be grippy but it greatly depends on what surface you’re skating on. Generally outside they’ll be grippy and at most rinks but if you’re in a house on a laminate floor for instance I think most wheels feel slippy on this type of surface. You can slightly over tighten the wheel nuts to reduce roll if you’re having trouble.

[@thatssojasmine.]

@@Skatie I was outside on concrete and a basketball court and had the same slippery feeling. I’m gonna try tightening the nut so it doesn’t roll as much. Thank u

[@numberoneeditss]

My skating isn’t improving much anymore, the other day I tried to do a waltz jump but whenever I tried to do it moving I couldn’t balance on one foot for long enough. How can I fix this?

[@Skatie]

Definitely work on the drills in this video for balancing. You need to be really secure and have a good rolling speed on one leg forwards and backwards before you try the waltz jump.

[@numberoneeditss]

Thanks

[@naomileijdekker270]

0:46 is it just me that saw a face in the whole left window-

[@Skatie]

Wow, you’re the first person to spot it! A little Halloween Easter egg!! 😂

[@NobelStitch]

Wow! Big smiley face! Great spotting! The last two days I have been filming my rollerskating progress and I have discovered orbs floating around during different moments. Plan on putting a video together of all the orbs I have spotted soon 😋 Nothing as obvious or impressive as the large face though! Can't believe I missed it the first time 😄

[@za6858]

Bro just don’t say please don’t say that you all didn’t notice a ghostly figure in 0:46 at the window Bruh i am crying Look closely in the very last window where all those stuffs are kept

[@Skatie]

😂 this was filmed during October so we popped in a little Halloween Easter egg!! lol well spotted! 🎃 😂

[@BrokennessAndBeauty]

is it normal for my brain to intellectually understand but my body isn’t? Lol this is so frustrating!

[@Skatie]

Yes! 100%. There are difficult skills that I can teach but my body now says “I don’t think so!!” 😂

[@yashwanthdornala482]

Those are not actual skates with shoe, seems like one I used as a kid, real skates are different

[@Skatie]

These are artistic roller skating boots.

[@tracyheath6076]

ooooooo I like your leggings... do you sell those?

[@Skatie]

Thank you. There really old ice skating leggings. They’re fleecy inside so super warm. I’m not sure if they’re available anymore? Let me take a look
