Learn the fundamentals here Part 1 kzbin.info/www/bejne/nGaXhKWwos-Mrck

[@v_v9195]

you were awesome at that last part that flat part of the stairs awesome plz make a video and tell us how because like you saied its the most dangerous part and most of the time you dont start from a top first like you normally skate and with fast speed you countinue go down the stairs and thats even more dangerous so olz tell us how thanks 🙏💖🌹

[@czujaz]

I would love to see your one leg forward to backward turn tutorial. It looks awesome

[@datfall]

In figure skating it’s called 3 turns but in in-line I think it’s called Lion

[@LeticiaADiaz]

Wow you make it look so easy and I'm not sure if I can do it ever without loosing all my teeth xD

[@x2e623]

Just subscribed dude i been skating since my late teens and now at 42 i decided to get back to it. Back when i started we had no KZbin so everything i learned was all self taught hence i noticed that i have some really bad habits watching videos like yours is helping me get back to the correct form quicker and with less injury. so thanks dude

[@capta1nher0]

Haha I'm 41 and doing the same thing as you bud, goddamn the falls have got so much harder and heavier, this channel is helping a lot though! First I must master backwards and 180's

[@IndianSkateNoob]

The end was so good. Seeing you fall and get back up again so humbly was amazing. Only goes on to teach that all of us are always in the process of learning. Thank you!

[@eduardobarceloscoach4985]

This is one of the best tutorials I ever seen, someone learning right on the spot, challenges, and U just try again and do it! Amazing! Sports teaches us a lot about life.

[@rabkido2011]

That feeling is amazing when you shake the dust and try it again and you make it .

[@360.Tapestry]

so much respect for including the footage of wiping out and then marching right back up there to do it again - sets a good example for us getting back on the horse to not be afraid. great fall, btw... landed on one side of your glutes and rolled

[@shroomzys]

This is amazing man I love these tutorials. Mad skills and beautiful setup you're rocking too

[@FlowSkate]

I also agree.

[@ColinThia]

Was expecting Part 3 on riding ramps.....but the unexpected stair ride series made it even better! Awesome as always!

[@FlowSkate]

I have riding ramps part three ready to go but with the back to blading challenge I thought that this series would be a bit more timely.

[@perilonwheels7646]

As an old "new" skater it is amazing to have these tutorials to understand things before I have a go at stairs again! Cheers

[@360.Tapestry]

thanks to the internet and these gracious youtubers, we can actually develop the fundamentals that we never had access to as kids

[@Snifffski]

Nearly a year since I watched this and still looks every bit as terrifying. Even more respect to Christine 🙏

[@mayakyen3695]

Great tutorial!! And great progression! Owwwwwwwww I Felt That!!! Noiiice Recover dude! For a sec I thought Shaun went to cry off camera for a moment. That fall almost made me cry.

[@SuedeNWings]

THAT ENDER WAS EPICO

[@SuperWillieL]

I like how supportive you are towards Christine

[@SerialWheeler]

Great video! Stair bashing is probably the most fun level bridge to take when ripping through city. That fall you had looked nasty, but you pulled yourself up like a champ

[@rollingdubaiguy6415]

Congrats to Christine for the stair ride and you for these amazing videos!

[@yongfengwei380]

感谢您的教学与分享，您真的太棒了

[@MonotoneCreeper]

Glad you didn't cut out the clip of you falling! It's all part of learning I suppose, it shouldn't be embarassing

[@jonasrotondo1560]

I found a "good" stair... not the greatest ever , or not the best one for a beginner but I did it a few times. And my biggest problem was I stopped when I wasnt rolling the stair anymore...but as you sayed last video "you just have to trust" and thats what I did and it worked :) All thanks to your Video and mutivation. So thank you again for those videos ;D

[@jonasrotondo1560]

And when I stopped right on the stair I got up and tryed again :)

[@mauricio0341able]

the last one was really scary, you forgot to mention that sometimes is better to bring a rope, awesome

[@belinaytuanapehlivan5114]

you really do skating. I'm not jealous when there are movements that I can't do in between.😂

[@beefnacos6258]

those wizards look like its takes skating to a whole nother level.

[@FlowSkate]

They are perfectly designed for city skating.

[@adamscotera2378]

when my job settles down (soon), I think I am inspired to make another effort to get this down. and I have to say it's rare to see shawn lose his balance and fall. that short flat part is a bastard! Thanks shawn for sharing it all!

[@fisherchi]

That's pretty intense. I'm glad you are ok from the fall and made it down cleanly and safely.

[@Prince_Charming_1]

Awesome training video! I'm too scared to try such high stairs like that.

[@obikedog]

Looks like you guys got in a good workout too! Stairmasters!

[@BuDu-ms2qe]

Can't wait to get out there and nail the stairs! Thank you for the videos!

[@piplup10203854]

It's really reassuring as a brand brand new skater to see that even things like this challenge your mental state and I loved seeing you work through and it giving it a go trusting the body position and then nailed it! I'm hoping to build confidence :) I'm starting at your beginner series. Today was the first day I put a skate on :D one shoe one skate but I got it on and it fits well :D I'm just a centimeter or two from a 10 so the pair I got are 10s and I feel stable when standing but I got a long way to go before I'm anywhere near trying stairs lol if I can get backwards skating in 4 months or 6 months I'll be super stoked and proud :D I'm aiming to feel comfortable enough in about half a year to try backwards though

[@noampitlik2332]

Okay...this is about riding down stairs backwards. I do it frontwards, but you make it look good.

[@OrganicGonzalez]

Great progression. I’m not this far yet in my skills but I’m motivated more after watching the time it takes to progress. I’m a Jiu Jitsu blue belt and I can see there are levels to inline that I would like to accomplish along with Jiu Jitsu ranking. Oss to all my bad skaters out here learning daily about themselves on skates. Oss From Huntington Beach California

[@Snifffski]

Great work all round. Great teaching and great progression. So good to see 👍

[@alexanderklahantook9983]

I just started playing skate in the 50 of my age but your videos are very helpful foe me, I hope I wil find a good skate for more fun. Thanks From Thailand .

[@mikesharpe9141]

Thanks Shaun. Best tutorial yet!

[@FlowSkate]

Thank you Mike!

[@22ryanoc]

I hope I don’t master the back slide. Sounds painful. One more trick to learn one day. Great tutorial

[@GC-Roller]

Love this video. Really nice work!!! Congrats you all!🎉🎉🎉🥳❤️

[@mutludemir9649]

Thanks for videos. Great job

[@harrietmann4195]

Such a joy to watch Christine get it. Nice one :)

[@T-Ray-AllDay]

Y’all are great!

[@echinopsisp8599]

Wow😮 Tks for sharing Greetings from El SALVADOR ☺️

[@FlowSkate]

Thank you for the nice message 👍

[@odom2142]

I used to do this in the early 90s! Wow time flies.

[@hobblyjig]

Its really helpful to see a non pro giving it a try!

[@didierneeferc]

thats amazing i will learn the stair ride when i get back to skating this summer!

[@juanmanuelromeroacuna9076]

Parece fácil cuando lo haces. It looks easy when you do it. Some day I'll try it but less stairs.

[@discopunkgr]

Did it with my antirocker aggressive skates. Now I am dead.

[@ATXrollerblader]

Then just be like Bela Lugosi.

[@abelardopascual6564]

🤣💀☠️

[@guillermofigueroaurbanskat1394]

You better grind the hand rail

[@bernsahr]

I thought the same. Maybe it is possible to ride stairs with a toe pivot backwards with aggressive skates? (i dont have antirocker, but a big grind block)

[@bernd9508]

I did it with flatbase aggressive skates, forwards is hard, backwards is okay. But Antirocker or freestyle skates you need to balance a full toe pivot the whole time, so good luck ;-)

[@RichHayterSkater]

Wow! That was quite something, well done! I intend to study this as stairs still freak me out a little. Thanks for this!

[@FlowSkate]

The fear makes it more fun!

[@RichHayterSkater]

Yeas! Your tips were most helpful, my man! Managed a set of 8! It’s a good start, thanks again!👍

[@letsrugem]

these guys are insane

[@javierantoniovarasgenestie5313]

Thanks for teaching. I eill try it. Grettings from chile

[@williansantana306]

Muito bom os vídeos de vcs parabéns🇧🇷

[@Kaitlynshelleyy]

Thank you so much for the great info👍👍👍 Also can you do a part 3 on going forward down the stairs?👍

[@FlowSkate]

I talk about going forward in part one but I actually do not recommend going forward on 8 or more stairs. It is really difficult and hard on the knees.

[@bonerjamz1992]

@@FlowSkate Yet in the thumbnail for this vid, you are going down that first set forwards. Some people just do not like the idea of doing extreme things backwards. I for one am perfectly comfortable riding backwards but thats all. Riding. I cant even for some reason make myself do a backflip into a foam pit. Backwards stair rides may be the easier option but there are going to be others than just myself who will want to primarily go forwards down stairs. You would be doing a disservice to your viewers not to at least throw out a few tips for the people who are going to learn forwards regardless of which is easier.

[@Kaitlynshelleyy]

Shop Task okie thanks!

[@lonerblader85]

I broke my arm really badly trying to learn stair rides in back in Feb. I was out for a flow on the tall boys and came across a set I've been eyeing up for a while.. a 4 stair with a decent length and low rising steps. I just went balls out on the first attempt and skated fast, turned fakie and nailed it first try. For some reason I felt like I wanted to try it again more slowly to really feel myself ride the stairs (?) The next time getting caught up, flying back and snapping both of the main bones in my arm at the wrist. In hindsight, attempting my first stair rides whilst out on my 3x125s was a bad choice, even though it is definitely possible in them. I am guessing the most optimal set up for learning stair ride technique would be more like 80-100mm (x 4)? Though I guess I could of got injured in any set up.. Either way I am terrified of trying stair bashes again any time soon!

[@lonerblader85]

I also remember thinking I should put my wrist guards on first, then realising I left them at home and tried it anyway. God damn it. Haha.

[@FlowSkate]

Damn. Sorry to hear this. I think something closer to 80 is optimal for learning stair rides. But I am sure it was just a freak accident. Speedy recovery my friend.

[@lonerblader85]

@@FlowSkate Thanks bro! =)

[@simonlin6663]

This is a pro, a pro a pro!! Beginners and those who are not good at skating, do not try this until you are good at skating!!!!

[@WhiteDeVil3]

Awesome video as always, thank you for doing this guys. One question though - Shaun if you were to explain what caused that fall around 10:22? Was it the speed from the first set of stairs propelling you into more of a "jump" onto the second part instead of sliding down the first few stairs of the second set? Like not enough wheels/stairs contact there? Or something else? I'm asking cause I'm prepping myself for bigger sets of stairs and that's exactly what I'm afraid of, I don't weight much and I often get "launched" into the air like that. Lower position doesn't seem to help and there isn't really a way to regulate your speed during the whole thing.

[@bernsahr]

If you are getting launched into the air getting low at the same time. It is not the "being low" which will help you, but the "becoming low" (countermovement to a jump)

[@ram5604]

Ur no 1 teacher

[@vivir_en_ruedas]

That's AWESOME!!!! good job!!!

[@pzebzda]

Great video!

[@johnortegon2803]

Muy bien felicitaciones

[@ajitalipiyada5711]

Very good ❤

[@crazypaulinquebec]

What skates do you recommend for all-round fun and fitness?

[@souravbhandari]

Amazing Lesson for stair ride. N of'course you are amazing person too.. :)

[@eduardocastro6331]

very nice

[@lancerenthusiast]

Good stuff Shaun! Any tips for aggressive skates? Because Back to Blading community challenge ;)

[@bernsahr]

i guess being much more toe heavy (riding backwards) is the key. And put on some protectors, it will hurt

[@diogorocha2249]

i always love your videos!

[@stevendhoop7213]

Good work man!

[@robeilinfilpo9656]

Esta muy chulo el video

[@ylfbrno]

Awesome as always 🔥

[@gazzaveganrollerblader5605]

Great Tutorial...👍

[@FlowSkate]

Thank you my friend.

[@lass4916]

I was worried when I saw you falling, thank God it didn't hurt, I'm always watching your videos. What skates are you using in this video? Hugs from Brazil. Namaste

[@stoff24100]

Super nice video,fromdenmark here. Iw as wondering what kind of skates you are using? They look reallylong, wich gives them speed i asume, and still enough mobility to make tricks. Best wishes

[@des138]

Backside backslide.... Classic, probably one of the funniest Lethbridge park moments.

[@FlowSkate]

Yeah brother. So classic.

[@andregustavonaves3703]

amazing...great....

[@Greg-tj8rg]

Is it safer/easier to do more stairs backwards or something? You mainly did the first set forwards but the more intense stairs you did backwards exclusively

[@ItsRaitisLV]

Knees go through much more impact when doing stairs forwards, because the weight is placed more on heels. Heels are very bad shock absorbers, toes are designed to absorb shock.

[@mnazzama]

Id love to see an in-depth tutorial for front gazelles. I can gazelle from back to front no problem thanks to your tutorial but it seems as if there is almost a jerking motion or slight parallel slide to get into reverse from forward that I just can't seem to figure out

[@FlowSkate]

I can help you out with this one. Next time I am at the rink with Alex we will work on this.

[@laraplays3927]

It's gonna be my first time doing it how many stairs should I start on first?

[@manuelraimundogarciayanez3285]

Buenísimo!.

[@Lindeveld]

Hi, is that the same for 3 x 125 mm wheels?

[@jorge.oliveiragomes]

Is way different! Much more harder.

[@lonerblader85]

I tried my first stair rides on a 3x125mm set up. Landed the first one no problem. Second attempt, I stuck and broke my arm really bad. So it is possible, but I wouldn't recommend it. Haha. Shaun recommended something closer to 4x80mm for learning them in another post.

[@Actarus197239]

davvero bravissimi, non ho capito una cosa, chi è destro porta il piede destro dietro il corpo? il primo piede a scendere è quello dalla parte che scriviamo?

[@kathycormiersuntanningrebe7870]

I wonder if the court house in Crowley LA would let me go practice on their stairs after they close in the evenings?

[@rozaroza4739]

Do you think it is possible to do on quad skates? Sb commented on doing it on aggresive skates with a antirocker setup and that it didn't go well, I guess doing it on quad skates could be even harder, as quads' wheel setup is closest to the freestyle frame in agressive skates if I were to compare quads to inlines. I'm wondering if it is at all possible, I've never seen anyone ride stairs in quad skates. Anyways great video!

[@bernsahr]

If you just riding on your toes it should be possible. Theoretically. Even 4-wheel agressive is hard cause of the grind block, antirocker and quad is the next level...

[@herphermits]

How to go down a flight of stairs with a tri-skates, and with the stairs having short land but high rise (like a regular 45' stairs)?

[@jscamry]

I just ordered some Kaze Powerslide skates and was wondering the same thing!!

[@egorraven9604]

You use regular skates or special?

[@tatsuki4472]

Hi, just wanted to ask if the wheels setup affects how you skate down the stairs.

[@FlowSkate]

Generally, 72mm wheels or bigger will ride stairs very well. Small wheels and anti rocker set ups make riding stairs much more difficult.

[@hotaruasmaria7504]

How different is this for aggressive skates? Freestyle frames so only two wheels.

[@FlowSkate]

The technique is the same but it is very difficult on freestyle frames. Flat 60s rides stairs well.

[@bernsahr]

@@FlowSkate Thank you, that is what i wanted to know!

[@elenamiyagi6669]

Wowwwww

[@skte2die]

Is this possible with an anti-rock setup?

[@brettdobson9124]

Does it work the same on 3 wheels?

[@otaciliofeenandes207]

Muito bom

[@selenahernandez4877]

Does this work with the break on?

[@sandydotcomm]

❤️

[@michelabril9899]

Oleeeeeeeeeeee!!!

[@nabranestwistypuzzler7019]

How do you go up the stairs?

[@ilovetoskate213]

Can that be done with 255 125mm wheels?

[@AcceleratingUniverse]

At 1:10 with the hood and beard you look like some sort of rollerblading paladin

[@brendatizianaalejoyave2393]

I give you my like to buy you an ice cream for that fall 😖

[@FlowSkate]

Haha. Ice cream will help.

[@kenmastersmaster]

Its insane you didn't fracture your elbow or shoulder

[@qaczy]

That frame is it with 84 or 90mm wheels?

[@FlowSkate]

My frame is 5x80 and Christines frame is 5x72
