Oh, i don't have rollerskates, i don't have space to use them and i don't have the money to buy them, but all throught i like to watch your videos, it's super relaxin and make's me feel happy. :D

I got mines off of Poshmark, the online thrift store. They were 50 bucks and they are roller derby brand. My youngest has the same brand, and it cost me 20. Just sharing in case you wanted to explore less expensive options 😏. I'm thrifty 😊

[@dauntless_kitten]

I got mine at a thrift store for 10 dollars, basically unused- I'm planning on getting another pair when I'm more experienced, but they work really well 😁

[@eunaldowilliams9698]

​@dauntless_kitten8200 I got mines from the thift store too

Some websites also have payment plans

[@akiac.8101]

Mines just got here today. I got them off Amazon for about $45.

[@laineydavis00]

I started skating a few months ago and I still can't reliably stop without running into the roller rink walls. So excited to try some of these out!! Thanks for the great explanations :)

[@MissAliciaH]

😂 i’m laughing because I’m also learning, and it’s exhausting. Once I fell, one leg went one way, and the other leg went the other way, so painful.

Pizza stop is going to save my life! I’ve been using the tried and tested ‘flail for a bit then catapult into a tree’ method in my local park (hills 4 dayssss)

[@ja8229]

I needed this so much! The only stops I am comfortable doing right now is the pizza stop, but I am not fully comfortable stopping that way when going fast yet. I need to learn the t-stop and transitions too because I want to start trail skating. I hate the toe stop drag so much and I try to stay away from that. lol I will definitely focus on learning how to properly shift my weight. Thank you!

[@nysari_]

This is all such helpful info! I never learned to skate as a kid and now the idea of it kinda terrifies me now that I'm in my 30s, but it always looks so fun and freeing. I feel like this is giving me some confidence to finally try again. On that note, would love to see if you have any tips for "oh sh*t, I'm falling/have fallen"! Things like how best to try to land, when you should or shouldn't catch yourself, how to get up without looking like a wounded newborn giraffe, etc.

[@lisaw44]

I learned how to skate from your videos. I’m just on day 3 and I already feel comfortable. I’ll try the V / pizza stop when I skate later today.

[@Har._sh-on.pa.ws.]

My experience from it it's my favourite, I have a fear of doing toe stop so knowing the do this it makes me feel comfy. If ur not going so fast u can just glide. Have a good time skating!

Random question: where do u go to practice ? I wish I could find a location as she

[@rockyrox4591]

I’m 35 years old and just bought my first pair of roller skates. I wanted something I could find that was different than the daily walks I do, that would be fun and something I could do both just for me on my own, but also keep up with the kids when they’re on their bikes and scooters. You are my first tutorial video, and you teach it so clearly and showing from different angles (I’m a dance teacher) is very helpful when learning from a video. Subbed! ❤

[@itssj974]

I’ve been rollerskating for as long as I can remember and I still learn something by watching your videos. I didn’t know how to do half of these stops and you explain them all so well. Thanks for all you do!

[@mewzia2337]

I haven't rollerskated in years, and no one taught me anything, so I appreciate the information in this video! I picked up on skating fast real fast but never breaking - I hated the jerky and tripping feeling of the toe drag so instead little 9-year-old me tended to just squat down and extend out one leg, and spin in a little circle to cancel my momentum! Glad to know there are much better ways out there!!

[@user-zj1li2hs1r]

your videos started popping up on my feed just as i started learning to skate! tysm, you inspire me and ur vids are a vibe

[@starsupontheland]

You are so encouraging and kind. My boyfriend and I are going skating at some point and I was. So nervous. But you're so patient and welcoming, and your videos have me more excited than scared to skate for maybe the first time in my life! So thank you so much

[@srcz524]

I love your channel so much! You motivated me with your 101 Video to search for my old roller skates and properly learn how to use them! You are such an amazing person and I appreciate the time your investing in this channel❤😁 Keep up with the good work!

[@N00b344]

your energy and vibe is literally amazing, i'm boutta buy a pair of my very first skates soon, and I love that I found your channel at the right time

[@annerosexoxo1737]

This was really helpful! Ive always been iffy when it came to stopping but this helped me out sm! A video on different skills like skating backwards would also be super cool. I love your teaching style, sweet and straight to the point.

Thank you so much for this video! You are literally teaching this newbie. Please make more videos. After this video I felt confident at 41 to go out and try today. I need help turning around gracefully lol I get to the end of my parking lot , stop, and do this sad little turn around and then go back the other way. 🤦🏾‍♀️ I’ll be so excited to see your next tutorial ❤

Very detailed explanation, thank you very much! I ve owned roller skates for over a year now, but guess what, im afraid to skate outside( im in late 30s)! But now after watching your videos i get more motivation to go outside!

[@jackie2011jr]

I’m glad I’m not the only one who doesn’t trust toe stops like that - I do exactly what u said, my foot feels like it’s jerking and then I panic. My sister doesn’t understand that I just can’t stop like that lol

I just wanna say I appreciate these videos and of course I appreciate you because without you .. we wouldn’t be getting this quality content baby 😂❤ . I’m very new to skating and your helping me soooo much .. I can’t begin to thank you enough .

[@noyrshadow6783]

I just started rollerskating and everything I have found for "beginners" are how to do super complicated stuffs as jumping, go down stairs, make circles... That's wonderful, but so far I can't even stand properly on my rollers and my way to stop is against my surroundings, so I'm very grateful for these super basic videos where I can learn from the very beginning 🤩

[@JosephSmith-ks6gi]

I managed to stumble on this page. . . I didn't know i needed this. Much appreciated

[@Nya0213]

I’m learning how to skate before I go back to campus. I need a hobby something that will get me out the dorm/house. And I found you on TikTok! Thank you so much for these tutorials!

[@tinytoasties]

Found your channel last week and your videos encouraged me to commit to finally buying a pair of skates! I love your style of talking to the camera and am here even for the non-skating content

[@DasiaDoesIt]

Good morning! I want you to know This comment is going to fuel my day! My #1 goal is get as many people outside and moving their body but it feels really good to know you’re here for me being a whole person too outside of skating. Thank you thank you thank you for being here!

[@nominatorchris5591]

Damn thankyou for making this video. I was still rolling from your last video and now i'm finally able to stop after 4 weeks for non stop rolling

[@houseflies]

This is so helpful! My skates arrived today and though I'm excited to get started, I'm not going to lie, I'm also a little scared, haha. I had rollerblades in my early teens that I rarely went around the block on sometimes, but now in my mid-twenties, I've forgotten every minuscule thing I ever learned. Thank you so much for these tips (as well as your other videos!), I'm thrilled to get started!

damn, youre so cool! i always wanted to skate, as a kid i even tried to, loved the speed and the general feeling of it, but stopping was the thing that made me, well, stop. it was my mortal enemy, i used to stop on bushes, grass and stuff like that. now youre making me want to skate again!

[@mandym8781]

Thank youuuuuu 🙏 Stopping was always an issue for me with ice skating but at least there was the rink wall 😅 I’ve been worried about how I’ll stop in roller skates so I’ll practice this today 👍😉

[@lisamichelle1224]

This video is great! I used to roller skate in my youth and was thinking about getting back into it again.

[@druec2863]

I just bought my first pair of skates. I used to love skating at the rink as a child. Thank you for a very thorough explanation of stopping. I can't wait to get back into skating! 😍

[@lamcookie7055]

I haven't skated ever since I was 10 I wanna get back into it someday 😅

[@druec2863]

@lamcookie7055 I kept telling myself this but years kept going by and it never happened. The skates I bought were sort of an impulse purchase after a week of researching which skates I should buy. I'm so glad I did because seeing my skates next to the shoe rack in my house is all the motivation I need to keep practicing, especially while it is still warm outside to do so

[@kimboydstonartanddesign]

What brand of skates are they , I like the ones she is wearing in this video the pale purple ones, some advice would be helpful thanks 😊

[@kmo9790]

Just adding on to the physics of the shifting your weight to slow or stop. A more technical description of what is going on is that as a skater you are changing your liner momentum into angular momentum. It is the same reason why your car wants to slow down when you enter a curve on level ground.

[@liljoe7171]

Hello...I watched your skate in 7 min vid, was great...best explanation yet. Havent tried yet but your vid actually gave me the confidence to want to try tmrrw! Ha! But then I thought, but how do I stop?...so I took a dive into your channel and got caught up in sum of your other stuff....I commend you for trying to get all your stuff right, good luck. Now back to skating...you have a great way of explaining things...I hope to tell you one day, soon, that I'm skating!👍🤞🏻

Thank you so much for this, Dasia!

Yeah down with the toe drag, let me know which ones end up working better for you and take some pressure off your knee. Welcome back to the club friend!

I just bought some lolly's and the aluminum plate that I also bought won't fit the boot...anyway, you've inspired me to get toe jams too! I've been on the fence for a minute but now I'm sold!
