I feel like giving up:( you always encourage me! I felt like giving up because I still couldn’t turn but now I have realised it takes time! Thanks!

[@ThuNguyen-jy2jt]

i started skating yesterday and out of all the youtubers ive watched you always make the clearest and most understandable, concise videos! thank you so much ❤❤❤

[@greetgoods]

Really excellent tips, I know I'll rewatch this one a lot. Thank you!!! You're such a great teacher!

[@FlashoftheBlades]

Nice tips, but I did notice something missing from the Lemon 🍋 Drops segment. And it’s something that I picked up on watching Blade Warriors (the inline skating version of American Gladiators). The show would have segments with skating tips, and one that really stood out for me at the time was this one: Don’t bring your toes together, because they’ll crash, and so will you. I’m not sure what the odds of that happening are while attempting the Lemon Drops, but if you ask me, it’s definitely something to keep in mind.

Ooooh thanks for adding this!!! Yes!!! You don’t want to do that and trip yourself!! Thanks for sharing this tip with me I’ll use it next time ☺️🙏🫶

@@PollySkatesthanks for the helpful videos. Would you recommend inline skating for a 3mile commute from a bus stop to a destination? Or before doing any skating do I need to check first for pebbles, rocks, debris and flat surface? I’m asking because I see a lot of YT videos where people just take off skating without checking the surface they will be on….. thanks!

[@215inline]

@@t.terrell7037 3 miles sounds like a fun skate but make sure you know how to stop if you need to quickly. Be safe!

[@FlashoftheBlades]

@@t.terrell7037I walk my routes before I skate on them and check the surface condition. Basically, an on-foot inspection. It’s really helpful, especially for a potential new route or route addition.

[@FlashoftheBlades]

@@t.terrell7037It could be a good way to commute. Just make sure you have a way to store your skates when they’re not on your feet.

[@roberttoro5167]

Thanks for advice, I haven’t been skating for a while, never learned properly. I will try all your technics. Have to dust off my old blades first. Cheers from Canada!

[@danika4u]

Hey Coach Polly, how do you stop without using the stopper at the back of your skates?

[@nickgordonartiste3935]

When I am skating, I use walking or hiking poles to help with balance, stability and stopping. So its like rollerski. Just fyi if this helps anyone😊

[@PollySkates]

🤗🤙🙏

[@ManyPeople3649]

That’s actually genius 😂

[@sunshine3914]

Hopefully the kiddos & beginners will wear protective gear.

[@sunshine3914]

All in all, excellent instruction… just wish you would have explained how to stop @ 3:19

[@Flopgt1]

I learned how to skate about a year or 2 ago and now I’m doing great!

[@Flopgt1]

I also took the brake off

I Started Skating When i Was 6-7 yrs old And Now I'm 10 And I'm obsessed with It But I Had To Quit Skating For 2 yrs because i was moving a lot and Was Busy With family stuff But Today my dad is Taking me too target To Get New Skates I'm Getting The Red and black color I'm So Excited 😆 to Get my Skates and start skating again

[@lacyladi9951]

Scooter push is what i do when they first get the skates and are building up the confidence to put on both AT THE SAME TIME after that its straight to lemons or bubbles then duck walking. Please make sure your new skates are for adults or have a weight listed and not those toys with the all plastic frames. And change your brake block the stock ones are plastic and not recommended for any surface. They are not even real they are just a place holder. Great video polly your energy really translated well 😊

[@PollySkates]

Thank you so much!!!!! Thanks for adding this advice!!!! Esp how important it is to get good skates 💯💯🩷🙏🤙 appreciate you so much!!!

[@lawrenceroycemanapsal7741]

I just stumbled on your video accidentally. I was rollerblading when i was in high school. So, i went to an arcade and i thought to myself that i know how to skate, but wasn't. I think i need to wake and train my body again. Do you recommend those "hard shoes" rollerblades? Thank you

[@chelsm90]

Kiddos love the spider however I will never be able to stand up let alone get down there hahah

[@PollySkates]

Ahhh

[@1a-joanneevelynpoh528]

I just got my skates and this video is so good until I can skate but my brother couldn't do it he just keeps falling even in only 1 seconds he can already fall everywhere

[@PollySkates]

Oh no! Maybe he’ll have better luck in the grass!?

[@generalmits]

I never did duck walks, my big feet never really let me do that easily. I do something my friend calls reverse L's, my toes are pointed out slightly but when I push I'm pushing pretty much completely to the side. I am still working on shifting my weight to the toe or heel, which is probably why I can't duck walk well. I have been told that I have the form of a marathon skater so perhaps that's what I am good at but I can't turn aside from A turns and I have awful endurance(mainly from not having a decent rollerblade yet).

[@ashranibaldeo907]

Great video

[@PollySkates]

Thank you! 🥹🩵🤙🙏

If it’s uphill you are gonna roll backwards and if it’s downhill you are gonna roll out of control. Gurl uphill and downhill are the same depending on which direction you are facing 😅

[@PollySkates]

😂😂 so true. Next time I can just say a hill 🙏😅

[@vanessaa3100]

Can you change the frame on these skates if you decided you want bigger wheels?

[@PollySkates]

YES!

[@Starhippo16]

How do I get to the duck walk in the first place? When I stand the wheels start spinning right away and I can’t even stand in place

[@sunshine3914]

I think she’s addressed that in earlier videos. Unfortunately she doesn’t have a playlist for beginners.

[@Starhippo16]

@@sunshine3914 thank you!

[@mariyammusthahana9888]
