How to Air a Quarter Pipe on Inline Skates | Aggressive Inline Skating Tips

[@jamseyy]

great tips! im still learning to air properly, but it really has made park skating way more fun. i always tell myself "wallride the sky"

[@ThirtyandRollin]

Love that quote! It is exactly what you need to be thinking while airing a quarter!

[@renate4981]

THANK YOU!! I've bean searching tutorials on airing for weeks now, and you are the first one to break down the movement accurately and the timing of all the "sub-movements" and show useful intermediate steps to practice. Best tutorial on this I've found so far, can't wait to see what other useful tutorials you have on your channel!

[@RageForSeven]

First!!! yeah!!! joke aside, super good advices, 100% agree!! I would add also that you can't move your torso once you are out of the transition. In all your shot, your legs move, your arm grab your skates, but your torso is always in the same position relative to your trajectory. It is very important because once in the air, you must force your body to "balance" the way you want and not how gravity intended. So whatever the position of the torso when leaving the transition, it has to be the same throughout the jump otherwise balance will be lost and crash will ensue (man i love being a physicist!!!) On a side note, you must be the only blader i have seen who has such a smooth "ski" style. I am sure you could overlay this video with a same one but on skis, and it would likely be mirror, especially the speed drop in the quarter. Keep up the good work, awesome stuff!!

[@ThirtyandRollin]

Yep that is 100% correct! Be still and balance all the way through your air! Haha I do take a lot from my skiing!

[@MicahCarioto]

I've been skating for 25 years, and never really figured out vert. This is super helpful, and I'm looking forward to getting out there and trying!

[@ThirtyandRollin]

Nice, Glad I could help!

[@Everf11]

Thank you so much I’ve been learning inline skating for 7 months and I’ve mastered the bowl I’m in and I’m trying to find new tricks to try so it’s not so repetitive and it stays fun for me

[@TwoQs]

Great tips. Going to keep this in mind next session and see how it goes.

[@ThirtyandRollin]

Send it!!!

[@MrMythorst]

i was looking for exact this kind of tutorial. Really amazing. You covered everything. So nice. Thanks so much :)

[@cameron_hancock7]

Third day of 2022 and this is still the most helpful video on this topic. Thank you bro!

[@thephorest]

This is awesome. So helpful. I want to start learning these soon, so I'll definitely refer to this video.

[@ThirtyandRollin]

Best of luck! Glad I could help!

[@damienvdv]

One big thing you missed. Turn your head and shoulder to the direction you are turning to as you air. Noticed you do not seem to do this as much, but for newbies ....this help me immensely. Tip I got from the master Brian Aragon.

[@ThirtyandRollin]

Yes that is a great point! Thanks for adding it!

[@MK-dn2ll]

Such a great vid - I've been rollerblading for 20 years and had never done vert, I'm learning now and your vid was really well explained and stylish at that. I'll be trying this next time I go to the park - thanks!

[@ThirtyandRollin]

No problem! Glad I could help! Quarter pipe airs are a ton of fun! Good luck! Let me know when you are sending it!

[@Slixydwb]

Best area of a quarter pipe tutorial ever

[@ThirtyandRollin]

Thank you!

[@d_a_hizzle1309]

This is the best tutorial on the internet on this topic I've found. You really cover the fundamentals very well and it's a great reminder of all the little things I get sloppy with after not skating ramps for a while. Still, I've always wanted to find something from a hardcore vert rider. It feels to me that there is something that differentiates the 3'-ish airs even most elite park skaters seem limited to and the 6'+ you see the Nel Martin types throw. Like, even if you put CJ or Joe on a full competition vert ramp, they still aren't getting half as high as CE was getting on rec skates 30 years ago

[@ThirtyandRollin]

Thanks and I agree!

[@InlineStruggle]

Wow! This tutorial is exactly what I need. I know for me right now doing the jump drop-in scares me. After I feel confident with jumping in I know I'll just have to stop jumping and ride the transition all the way. After my woodward injury heals I’m going to practice this!

[@ThirtyandRollin]

O not cool! Woodward injury??? Hope you get back on your blades soon!

[@InlineStruggle]

@@ThirtyandRollin I hope to skate on Saturday even though right now I'm limping around. I just need a little time to heal.

[@RollOverTheHill]

Your tips are so great. I can’t wait to try this out. I never got the hang of this back when I used to skate, now that I’m getting back into it, it would be rad to finally learn how to air quarters properly.

[@ThirtyandRollin]

Nice! Get out there and do it! Just start small.

[@AdriaanStoopid]

4:40 is an awesome tip!!

[@scottmaxwell1927]

The breakdown of this video is dope. Thank you for the details.

[@ThirtyandRollin]

No prob!

[@lancerenthusiast]

Nice tutorial!

[@gregoryviper]

This is gonna help me allot, especially the drop in from the top to practice the first touch back from the air. Thx!

[@ThirtyandRollin]

Glad to hear it!

[@alexandermeyers5302]

Just found this video - getting ready to get back on skates after a 15 year hiatus. Props man, keep it up!

[@ThirtyandRollin]

Awesome! Glad you are here and good luck!

[@painterpainting7056]

Great video Thank you

[@raizeku6051]

Great vid, good tips :) Gotta try this the next time :D Thanks man!

[@daljksdhkajsadasd]

great stuff! man you are productive atm

[@ThirtyandRollin]

Doing what I can!

[@Soulpiercerofficial]

Thanks dude this is great x

[@gtusa91]

Great tips, thank you! I am getting more comfortable airing out of the coping, but I haven't had much guidance so far.

[@ThirtyandRollin]

No problem! Glad it helped!

[@IAmJeffDouglas]

This is awesome thanks for the tips

[@ThirtyandRollin]

No problem!

[@InlineSkaterDad-]

Thanks, man.

[@ThirtyandRollin]

No problem! Hope it helped.

[@DanRoworth]

Great tips man! It's easy to forget the simple things like jumping in to prepare for the speed. Shame I didn't see this as a reminder before I attempted my first vert airs

[@ThirtyandRollin]

All good. Sometimes we just get too excited to try something new and not think it through completely.

[@petros8985]

Great video, you 're really good teacher keep it up.

[@ThirtyandRollin]

Thanks dude! Will do.

[@VRMinde]

Omg, such a great video man! Thanks for sharing really great tips. That roll-in jump-in thing should be scary already on a quarter for the first time :D But you will know what the landing will be like. Love it! Much safer this way than "just send it" :D

[@ThirtyandRollin]

The roll in is key to understanding that landing!

[@wiktorgamracki6855]

Great material. Thanks. Can you give any suggestions on how to get to the top?

[@ThirtyandRollin]

Do you mean like roll out or pump to the top of the ramp?

[@magodeozgalleon]

30 n rollin, same here

[@Inlinesteve]

We have this new huge bmx park in germany darmstadt now its time to go for some airs 😍😍😍

[@Inlinesteve]

Still struggling pretty hard on it, i allways turn to early getting around 50-100 cm above coping but man that feels so damn weird

[@penguins0392]

So good

[@Struisbird]

Awesome man! What set up are you're riding in the vid?

[@ThirtyandRollin]

I am on the Roces M12 Nils Pro boots and Oysi frames with Intuition liners.

[@ericschrage]

Thanks so much! The points about doing 180s and practicing the jump in were super helpful. I need those baby steps. As a beginner, I was dumbfounded by the clip of you rolling right up the transition to the coping and turning around without having to lift your skates hardly at all. I feel like if I am not doing a jump turn while I still have speed, I am going to have to come down the transition backwards or fall. Any thoughts on how you make that happen?

[@ThirtyandRollin]

Carve up the ramp, don't go straight up and your body will naturally want to continue the turn down the ramp. Think of doing a big "U" carve up and down the ramp.

[@ericschrage]

@Thirty and Rollin This U concept helped a bunch today! Previously I had no idea how I was going to get enough speed to get up the vert and not kill myself practicing. I had tried coming in at more of an angle, but it was hard to maintain speed and I felt like I could slip out when I hit the vert. And coming in straight was limited and dangerous. U is like the perfect blend of speed and control...

[@ThirtyandRollin]

@@ericschrage Yep keep it up and you will be sending boosty airs in no time!

[@emmanuel7899]

Thank you 🙏

[@ThirtyandRollin]

You’re welcome 😊

[@nicholasraider7789]

Thank you bro

[@ThirtyandRollin]

No problem

[@kiyo3084]

Thank you! I'm planning on learning it! I'm a 12 yo girl that is inspired by your videos! Thank you so much 💗💗. I'm a bit scared to jump in, but I'll try to avoid my scared thoughts. thanks :)

[@ThirtyandRollin]

You got this! Just take baby steps.

[@MichelBakhos]

Subscribed ! Love these videos

[@ThirtyandRollin]

Awesome glad you like them and glad your here!

[@eldente]

I tend to disaster/hit the coping a bit on my big airs, really gotta get more consistent

[@ThirtyandRollin]

I do too every once in a while. Especially when its a new transition I'm not used to.

[@Meehifff]

Thanks

[@jtown3560]

Your pretty good at skating

[@ThirtyandRollin]

Thanks!

[@killahgz]

Like many have said, great tips and thank you for that. One question: I notice many skaters, including yourself, have one foot in front of the other when taking off. Does this matter for which side you are twisting the 180?

[@ThirtyandRollin]

It's whatever way is comfortable for you. It creates a more stable base.

[@killahgz]

​@@ThirtyandRollin I agree that having 1 foot in front of the other creates a stable base. I prefer to have my left foot in front, but I twist counter clockwise. This doesn't feel comfortable XD. I guess I'll have to get used to skating with my right foot in front (or twisting clockwise).

[@fb_6x339]

I can 360 air but want to learn 540 air can you do tips on that please it will mean a lot

[@ThirtyandRollin]

I'd love to but I am not great myself at 540s. I would ask Brandon Drummond. He's a spinning master!

[@fb_6x339]

Thank you

[@otmanpple1]

Thx

[@ThirtyandRollin]

No problem. Glad you enjoyed it!

[@izzyherrera9804]

I seem to have an issue with quarters that aren't complete vert. I end up losing balance just as I'm up even if I suck up my legs and start doing a running man. If I commit it almost feels like I'm jumping out and land at the end of the ramp. I think it's the fact I'm afraid of quarters that have a coping that stick out a bit. Just got back into skating a month ago. I can backside royale quarters but not air them? Feel like I'm a little ass backwards.

[@ThirtyandRollin]

All good. Give it time and don't force it too soon. You will get it.

[@JustAnotherBlader]

Sometimes my toe clips the coping on the way back in and then I retreat back into my shell in fear and don’t try it again for a month.

[@ThirtyandRollin]

I feel ya there. Sometime I clip a bit too. Keep at it though.

[@damnimridge]

I just learned how to drop-in and now I am watching this clip with such high ambitions ahahaha #2wheelstoworld

[@ThirtyandRollin]

You got it just keep at it and take small steps.

[@skip1978]

Cool

[@Pablotron69]

hey i wanna start skating and i was wondering if usd skates are good? thanks

[@ThirtyandRollin]

USD skates are great! What got you interested in skating?

[@Pablotron69]

Thirty and Rollin i’ve just seen people at my local skatepark who seem to enjoy the sport loads plus the community seems great!

[@ThirtyandRollin]

@@Pablotron69 Nice!

[@matthewodell8095]

"huh that looks a lot like a drop in at Reedvi- wait, that IS Reedville!" So do you live in Beaverton or something? you seem to go to lots of parks in Portland.

Oh sick, maybe ill meet you some day@@ThirtyandRollin

[@dashdigital5869]

this guy kinda gave a mini physics lesson. nice

[@dancorvalan3205]

Great video bro, but i cant learn this. I have watched many many tutorials over and over again.. Its very frustrating. Could u maybe do another video on this subject, maybe having 2 cameras, like one being a POV and another camera getting the side of u doing the airs, so we can see more details about body position, angle when u begin to air, and such. Its just an idea. Thanks

[@ThirtyandRollin]

I will make another video on this eventually.

[@dancorvalan3205]

@@ThirtyandRollin cool bro!

[@crystalschild3136]

Teach me! :-)

[@Suntil]

i cant undertand how u air the edge.. i just hit em, and often falling after that. or if my speed is well, i just fly out of the ramp

[@suryadnb]

What are these inches and feet you're talking about? 😜

[@ThirtyandRollin]

Haha right? So weird!
