MORE ON STAIR RIDING DOWN STAIRS
Step one - Body Position
Learn the forward and backward predator position. You will use this position to ride the stairs
Step two - Find a good stair case to learn on
Search your neighbourhood for a set of stairs with a short rise and a long run and hopefully only four or five stairs.
Step three - Cut across the stairs at first. Slow change the angle of attack until you are descending the entire set of stairs.
Step four - Add speed. Adding speed will prepare you for larger, more steep sets of stairs.

[@frennauta]

I needed this so much, thx.

[@stepangolovachev]

Бро, ты выбрал интересный вариант для продвижения канала - лестницы.😄 Именно так я попал сюда) Езда по лестнице честно говоря выглядит стрёмно, может потому что у твоих коньков длинная база - 5 колёс - это всё-таки необычно для фрискейта. Но когда ты делал 360 в обратной стойке через бетонный блок, я засомневался, что у тебя вообще могут быть хоть какие-то проблемы со ступеньками... Прыжки у тебя очень четкие и точные - виден хороший контроль над ситуацией. Но, если вдруг, у тебя действительно есть сложности со ступенями, то это как раз тот случай где нужно больше "расслабленности" в ногах - особенно в ступнях. Ты должен быть как вода, а ступеньки это каскады и пороги - вместе вы как водопад! Всего доброго! Спасибо что двигаешь в массы rollerblading! P.s. видео не смотрел😬

[@jeybiii2116]

I'm 11 yrd old filipino can you help me to get roller blades?

[@pramodkumaryadav3577]

Sir I am 12 years olds can you please learne skate in mud and water

[@JusFaithelz]

YOU explained it like you were once a beginner, and understand the beginner. you're awesome!

[@FlowSkate]

That is a great compliment. Thank you. I remember learning how to ride stairs when I was about 13 years old and this is exactly how I did it.

[@jhowardsupporter]

@@FlowSkate Did you illegally close the road??? Who put those cones there??? Your probs gonna end in one of those "Polícia Americana VS Criminosos" compilations! .... I feel like I need my own set of cones!

[@phamthanhtung6921]

Nicely said, I love these kind of beginner friendly tutorial, focusing on the mistakes he once had and teach them back to others, such as keeping head still during front to back transition. Keep up the good work!

[@clarksskatingcardtricksand6760]

You are who I want to be positive, kind, skilled, encouraging, and inspiring! Thanks for being your amazing self Shaun! You too Alex you are so good at filming amazing footage!

[@FlowSkate]

Thank you 🙏.

[@fuego5187]

Mans pulled up with a book, you know we bout to get schooled. Nice lesson sir, highly appreciated

[@user-rx5uc2vx3l]

Hello Sir, I saw your video. I started my sliding life. I am from Taiwan.

[@FlowSkate]

Now it is your turn to inspire.

[@kyuseoklee3232]

OMG !!! I live just beside Richmond school and see my truck on your video 😂. I started inline skating this spring and have been learning and enjoying inline skating with your channel. I will practice stairs at the same place tomorrow🤣. Thank you all the time for quality video and tutorial !!

[@domtom010]

I haven’t bladed in months but last night I dreamed I was blading at my old college like a champ. I was destined to watch this today!

[@dogsandsmiles]

Possibly your best tutorial, Shawn! I thought I knew how to ride stairs forwards and back, but this gives me a lot of fundamentals to improve even more. Love that you had a willing student in Christine -- rooting for her at the end. Can't wait for part 2.

[@heartandsoul2871]

Thank you for this. I found myself smiling when she started conquering it. Give me Hope now that I can back after not blading for over 20 years.

[@northvanman1283]

Christine ends the backwards stair ride with backwards powerslide.....very nice

[@konishowa]

Un petit "coucou" d'un admirateur dans le sud de la France. Vos vidéos sont si bien faites et vous m'avez l'air tellement sympa !!! Thank you for everything and NAMASTE

[@Enigmaafk]

Very good promoting protective gear and safety few pro skaters does this :)👍 I have learn a lot from this channel as novice skater.

[@FlowSkate]

Thank you for the support.

[@Godef.]

Hey man, I've been watching a few videos of yours and I really want to thank you for making them because I learned so much and my passion for rollerblades kept increasing with them. I hope that you and your family are doing well! Stay safe ❤

[@alonzopastel9647]

Shaun. Thanks a lot for this video I was (probably not only me) waiting for going downstairs from you long time & it was worth cause u r the best instructor in whole you tube ( perhaps a guy from Russia is on your level). Greetings from my holiday of course with skates.

[@FlowSkate]

Enjoy your holiday. You will be nice and relaxed to start working on your stair rides. Thank you for your support.

[@Sharbelnajem]

Dude, there is nothing better than your flow, but the way you breakdown the things technically! Way to go Namaste ;)

[@julianamontejomorgante1414]

I've been watching some of your videos and you make me feel like I can do everything on skates. Thanks for all your tutorials, they are clear and simple. Finally, I just wanted to say that I love your videos rolling everywhere. I wish someday to develop a beautiful and precise technique like yours. (Namaste, and hugs from Colombia)

[@mrBesov]

they just cone off the road to riding stairs lol I wanna move to Canada !

[@mipranof603]

Ur very excelent inline skate coach slow but very clear for beginner👍👍👍

[@jonasrotondo1560]

Thank you for all these videos...I really needed a video for going down stairs...Now I hope to find a good stair to learn :)

[@FlowSkate]

The hardest part is finding a good set of stairs. After that it is easy.

[@skaterkosh0530-고숭아TV]

You seem to explain it really well. You are the best.

[@brocmt]

Great vid, Shaun! Awesome seeing Christine's first fakie stair bash. The local skatepark has a decent set of stairs, 5 steps, good rise/run ratio, but no handrail, and it's flanked by low ledges. KInda hard to work up the nerve to go down that fakie... hopefully now that school is back in session here, I'll have more room to practice...

[@FlowSkate]

Just be confident on your approach and wear all the pads you have.

[@gewroche]

Congratulations Christine 💪

[@FlowSkate]

Wait until you see tomorrows video. Christine conquers a 15 set.

[@BuDu-ms2qe]

great tutorial for newbs like me! Thank you for sharing!

[@GC-Roller]

Great video Shaun !!!, perfect work Christine, xd. You have an amazing teacher!

[@FlowSkate]

Thank you Ivan. Christine is a great student.

[@jayhathaway4720]

all the shop task guys are so humble they are the heroes rollerblading needs

[@HSWilliams]

This is very well explained. I particularly liked the tip about finding some with grass to the side so you can get a feel for it without having to go down all the stairs in one go.

[@roaker]

Thank You! I will show your lesson to my 12 year old son. We tried that last weekend.

[@FlowSkate]

Sweet! Thank you for sharing and good luck on your next stair ride mission.

[@tshepomotau3510]

I like the skates that u are using brother ,i am a beginer SKATER and ur videos are VERY helpfull,Its hard to get good skates like yours in SOUTH AFRICA

[@FlowSkate]

Shop Task does ship world wide and we offer free shipping on Wizard skates. I believe you could also check out Lino Shop. Thank you for the nice comments. It is my mission to help reach the world to skate.

[@JanaMusicUK]

Great tutorial and demonstration, thank you. I've only been rollerblading for three months and I started practising going down stairs yesterday. Well, one step...

[@juliansanchez3660]

Hola soy Julián de Madrid ,eres genial he aprendido muchas cosas,sigue así. Un abrazo

[@TIJEY-BEG]

The very first video of your channel that i watched. But I must watch it again, to learn how to skate stairs.

[@FlowSkate]

Happy learning my friend. It is easier than you might think.

[@TIJEY-BEG]

@@FlowSkate 😀😀😀 But not easy to find good stairs around my home. This is the reason why I not tried yet.

[@johnviera3884]

Great video. Also, make sure to keep your skates straight and firm. Once the bouncing starts people lose concentration on the skate angle. If your skates bounce and drift into each other, it will cause a mishap

[@Sepp2009]

christine's transitions to backwards look so effortless

[@theinlineguy9667]

Great tutorial very thorough. Awesome montage too!

[@margeauxmcclelland3338]

Thanks for the thorough tutorial! I love that you let us see Christine learn a new move, too. Yea for women skaters!

[@FlowSkate]

Yeah is right! Sometimes female skaters do not get the recognition that they deserve. IMO female skaters often have much better technique and style.

[@mauricio0341able]

really great class, 25 years since i learnt to move forward maybe it´s time to try something new thanks

[@mikexsolix]

Yeah, ya solo me falta encontrar en mi ciudad las escaleras adecuadas! Saludos muuy buen vídeo!

[@FlowSkate]

una vez que encuentre el conjunto correcto de escaleras ... todo lo demás será fácil.

[@wyldeminded]

This video is exactly what I needed to relax from work burn-out.

[@matthewtrim3428]

I does watch at this channel and know new moves on my boots ❤❤Thanks you very much 😄😄👏

[@FlowSkate]

You are very welcome.

[@mikesharpe9141]

Great tutorial! Awesome that you can find good stairs to practise on there in Calgary. All the stairs here in Australia have raised dots at the top and bottom to help blind people and hinder skaters!!

[@FlowSkate]

Those dots are brutal for skaters. I guess you will just have to jump the stairs. Haha

Nice video thank sharing🙏👍🏻

[@drakified]

Very well explained and good tips, great job man! I remember when I tried backwards stair ride for the first time, it was scary as f... :)

[@FlowSkate]

Yes. It is really scary. And there is not much you can do about it. However, a good routine going into the ride will help take the edge off the fear.

[@gyanendrakhadka7016]

You guys are awesome. ..

[@ihsanyunis7538]

I like so vidios. Thanks

[@boadisamuel]

Wow 😮 that's awesome 👍

[@paulb7296]

Don t know if I missed it , but would be really interesting to see in a video how to adjust to an unexpected situation. Example: you are stair skating and you must stop or avoid an obstacle . I know it s advanced , but would definitely solve some scarry feelings

[@miguelrube]

Excellent video, congratulations.

[@wza360]

Awesome thanks.

[@antoniomelmen6702]

Wow!!! Very inspiring!!! Thanks for sharing your knowledge!!!

[@rttrss0]

Nice work!

[@hansbrommer3143]

What can I say after all these comments, just join to the ones that thank and appreciate your contribution with all of us. Something maybe that has not been said: does the wheel size affects? I mean is it easier on NR100s? And do you find easier on PR80 x 5? Thks in advance! By the way Ive been waiting all day for watching this at hotel as I am run out of data, 😆!

[@FlowSkate]

I find that wheel size doesn’t have a big effect. Anti rocker setups are difficult to learn stair rides with. Though I do think it is easier on any Natural rocker frame.

[@di._.5191]

Thank you 🥰

[@marcinwiszynski4906]

your movies I have learned a lot, so far I have the best with a beard but I also buy something on roller skates I bought fr skates and I wonder if wizard rails will come up and it is a different ride, but with a visa, well, but something for something, maybe someday I will be able to buy

Thank you 🙏

[@user-zh4tx5gr9q]

Thanks

[@natsudraganeelyt2305]

Guess it's time to practice this skill. Only problem is I cant find a nice set of stairs that isnt trying to kill me lol.

[@FlowSkate]

The hardest part of learning this technique is finding the right set of stairs.

[@natsudraganeelyt2305]

@@FlowSkate yes, I have a few stairs that are 3 and 4 stair deep but only about 3/4 of my skate fits on the stair when I stand on the steps. I pretty much just jump those stairs since I have no idea how to take such steep steps yet. Is it even possible to take really steep steps?

[@papyfred7817]

You make great tutorials, I like !

[@Bavmorda]

Great tutorial and good timing too! Isn't stair ride the Back to Blading August challenge? 😃 Now I just need the perfect set of stairs, this is something I started practicing on the 90s, before I stopped skating, and never was capable of. Now is the time for sure 😉 Thank you so much for everything Shaun.

[@FlowSkate]

That is right! Perfect timing for the Back to Blade Challenge.

Great video man🤙

[@mikaoldendorp]

Great video! Now, is this harder with bigger wheels? Because I have 100mm but I sometimes face stairs Is this the same strategy?

[@FlowSkate]

Same strategy. Nothing changes. The big wheels go down the stairs really well but the extra height can make landing steep stair cases more difficult.

[@mikaoldendorp]

Oh okay!! Thanks you very much

[@KirraZirra]

Great tut Shawn!
