How to Rollerblade Backwards - Skating Practice

[@360.Tapestry]

these channels are starting a small revolution. i went skating for the first time today after two decades off and i can say i'm still 80-90% there. but with these videos and consistent practice on the fundamentals, i know i can be better now than i ever was as a kid (i'm gonna be pretty sore the next few days, tho - some of these muscles haven't seen use in a very long time)

[@chrisendezzm2755]

I'm on the same boat 🚢!!! I went indoors and omg I felt like I was kid dashing around the blocks in nyc! I'm looking to buy my first real adult pair! I always wanted an amazing pair of blades when I was a kid now I'm 33 and boy I'm just overwhelmed with joy!

[@nicolemarie9875]

Same, it really is just getting out there and practicing and being ok falling 🥴

[@unequallytwisted]

I was in the boat too! It's been just over a year I have been back on inline skates and have fell in love with distance skating. 26.2+ mi sessions three weekend in a row now. I've posted some short videos of the trail. How's it going with yall?

[@Zig423]

@@unequallytwistedhey mate. Used to skate aggressive when I was young and started back at it but within a couple of months I got some free style skate Iqon CL20 3x110 (decode frames) so I have a 4x90 set up too. I been doing it about 3or4 months and love it so much. Haven’t hit 26 yet but I did 20 and was dead after.😂 that was a while ago though (evil friends and a very hot day) I did 17 the other day though and felt great after. I’ve been upping it gradually I average 10-15 miles atm 👍 do you use strava?

[@unequallytwisted]

@Zig423 that's awesome! Keep it up. I just upgraded my frames to @endlessblading 90 ES. I recorded 3 seperate 20 mi sessions last week on my channel. I do not use strava. Do they have a free version?

[@Jessica40187]

Your warm up is a form of art. Absolutely amazing.

[@rene3646]

Makes me stop trying 😂

[@tiosulfate6492]

7:42 amazing background action

[@tissoeh]

Thought I was the only one who noticed hahaha!

[@anllvr]

amazing, indeed!🤣

[@MrBrinkman721]

Thanks for all the help dude. My wife is great at blading but not me. We watch your channel all the time. But I watch these help full videos when I'm not around her so I can impress her with my quick learned skills

[@ssboxer]

It looks like @8:03 knowing your edges and trusting your skate setup is everything. It makes perfect sense. Can't wait to try this technique!

[@ja8229]

Wow this is amazing!!! I am learning backwards bubbles right now and that makes so much sense about the visibility and staggered form. Going to come back to this video a lot! Thank you!

[@thestutteringskater]

Oh I love hearing that, thank you so much! Bubbles are great, but we like skating where you can see

[@phrogtesem9410]

Great warm up session and amazing wizard skating, I watched it twice.

[@thestutteringskater]

Ayyy thank you! That was deff my fav part. I need to start writing for my videos and not just winging it ha

[@PeachNEPTR]

@@thestutteringskater or even treat this as a first draft. Go out, wing it, see what you can get from it, and then re-write what you improvised with the benefit of hindisght, and then film it again. I know that it’s easier for me to think in the moment than it is to come up with stuff in advance, but then I always come up with better ideas when I look back on it.

[@GamerWatchBR]

Awesome tutorial, thank's for leaving your specs on the description, cross-over backwards and advanced backwards tips next please !

[@thestutteringskater]

Ohhhh good suggestion, i will deff work on that for a tutorial soon

[@quickfeed7592]

Yo, @ 7:45 that kid tries to get his ball unstuck and slams himself in the face. I completely lost it. Also, would like to add, getting back into skating because of you. Keep lighting fires, killer. Seriously, thank you.

[@clonkex]

looool, I didn't see that

[@bankoledada]

just watching this makes me feel like i have a loooooong way to go with flow skating. i could watch this on repeat

[@InlineGuitarSkater]

I never thought how can you explain the things that you do on rollerblades. You really do describe the moves so easy!!!

[@dbarts544]

Such amazing skating and clear cut instructions. Very helpful tutorial, which has helped to iron out a few kinks with my skating. Love your fluidity and passion for skating. Keep on producing sensational content and many thanks all the way from the UK.

[@PollySkates]

You inspire me ⭐️

[@thestutteringskater]

I learn so much from your breakdowns Polly!

[@justinlepage5133]

Absolutely genius. Thanks for these tips. I still consider myself beginner but I've been skating on and off for years. I'd finally like to be fully comfortable with a 180 transition from forwards to backwards and this helped a ton! Thank you!!

[@edmondlharvey]

From the broom sweeping to the amazing tips! Big fan of the tutorial video! Thank you Ari! 🥳🙌🏿🙌🏿

[@thestutteringskater]

ED!!! Thank you so much, you are a legend! Always appreciate your support

[@darkoale3299]

This will come in handy! Much appreciated.

[@thestutteringskater]

Keep us all updated!

[@immortalskators]

Our hands are the steering wheels. Good point there❤

[@charlesgamzehyaavor.6493]

I like how you finish the video very strong with over the shoulder back-and-forth thanks man for the impression rolaway

[@SpeakerOfTruth444]

Excellent instructor and skater. Luv it!

[@olgac9121]

Hands! Hands!! The arms: Essential to ride well Gracias!! Desde Medellin, Colombia

[@abmaelsantos6389]

surreal, não consigo me ver fazer um terço disso. comecei a patinar faz uns 3 meses, no total acho que patinei umas 20 vezes, me ajudou muito assistir seus vídeos, é uma inspiração para mim. é fantástico

[@Sshheeyy]

This was a great, informative watch! Looking forward to applying this on my next skate session, thanks!

[@thestutteringskater]

Ayyy thank you! Cant wait to hear about your progress

[@diegovaldesresendiz5700]

The tutorial is amazing and very useful! Thanks for share :) Send you a big hug

[@ronaldwagner3]

you and nicola torrelli remind me a lot of each other because of how fluid you guys are on your skates. absolutely insane. love that you're making tutorials, too. would you consider making a tutorial on how to transition from skating forwards to backwards and different ways to do so?

[@revolutionunderground]

Yes, please!

[@kinkade2156]

I saw you at the skate park, Thursday I said that I liked your skates.

[@flyboy96]

Awesome informative video! Can you do maybe a short on how to transition to backwards skating?

[@thestutteringskater]

10-4 will try to work on it

[@dancorvalan3205]

Great channel bro! Keep at it!

[@Legotruck82]

cheers for the tutorial. I'm getting back into skating after a many decade break, and stuff like this is invaluable, skate safe

[@BuDu-ms2qe]

Great video Ari! Very informative and a video worth noting for people going from beginner to a more advanced skating level.

[@latoyann]

I got some Rollerblades about a month ago because I used to skate when I was a teen. I'm always mesmerized by going backwards. Hopefully at the skate park for practice I can figure this out.

[@fralou_sind_kreativ]

Opening up your view like this while going backwards is a great tip! The side for me to open up would be my left too, I think. I'm already using it to look back while bicycling so it's pretty intuitive for me already. The fluidity you have on skates is mesmerizing! I have that kind of control with my bike but I would love to get like that with skates too :) Thanks for the great video!

[@13earz]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge ❤️ I’d like to share one suggestion with you, if you continue to make tutorial type videos, could you please make sure they’re in 1 playlist? Keep shredding, keep being awesome, and stay safe 😊

[@jordanlaitinen5127]

Brilliant video 👌🏿 That wizard skating at the beginning 😍 that is my goal.

[@dubbingpros]

Magic slide tutorial please

[@thestutteringskater]

I have to learn how to Magic Slide first! haha

[@delivereyes2479]

​@@thestutteringskater Hey bro could you tell me the type of blades u have? I need 2 get something decent so I can keep up with everyone on Wednesday!

[@rachelmclaughlin1491]

​@@delivereyes2479it's at the beginning of the video of you watch it 🙄

[@japhethjay4880]

Why you stuttering around the end you were exhausted hahaha absolutely amazing, thanks for the vid

[@PenmanLupine]

thanks for the video! This'll be a very common reference for me.

[@thestutteringskater]

Hopefully i'll have a better tutorial on it soon! better production value

[@misfles]

Nice. I have Twister in sight for my next blades.

[@johnviera3884]

thanks for these videos. my right side is my strong side but I practice my left side to become a better overall skater.

[@kantstenchonthemel5641]

oh it seems so obvious now that you explain it! why didn't i do this before? THANKS A LOT!

[@nigelbrown2274]

ace... thanks, i need all the help i can get!

[@akronakron4352]

Hi there. New to the channel and I love it! 1. Do your knees hurt? 2. Were you a dancing student in the past or present ? 3. What skates do you use ? 4. How long have you been skating for ?

[@clonkex]

I'm just some guy who's been skating for a few years, but personally I don't get any pain in my knees. I'm 29 and 98kg. The fluidity this guy (Ari, I think?) has likely just comes from years of skating (and his hockey experience). I'm maybe 5% as good as him at best but I find the fluidity comes naturally the more you skate.

[@revolutionunderground]

Thanks! Great tutorial! It covers much that the others i saw don't

[@watchthis1316]

Fancy footwork so kewl!

[@thestutteringskater]

Thank you!

[@zachspringer314]

I need to put more practice into this. Real new to skating, but whenever I stagger and try to look back my feet turn too, and I end up spinning out. Need to get my feet independent of the rest. Great video

[@KhaziirEverflight]

Loving the content man. Excellent instructions.

[@heiako5934]

Don't laugh but I never realised that we can do the same exercices on ice with rollerblades. Like I always just rolled with rollerblades and exercices on ice (completely new to it) Thank you for openning my smol brain ^^' If you can't go on Ice, do rollerblade btw I saw your short and my passion came back the edit is amazing and the way you both rolled was 🔥(Think it was rollerblade way/path in NY if I'm not mistaken) 🌹

[@squidwardtortillini8816]

This video is perfect timing for me. I was just wondering how I could get better at fakie!

[@thestutteringskater]

Yess! I'm trying to learn how to get better at it looking over the other shoulder

[@pixelpaws-ai]

Awesome tutorial. Love it❤

[@elizabethdemeree8410]

Of course you have good taste in music too😎🫶🏻💞

[@vincentc2466]

Wow 4:39 is exactly me. I've been trying to mimic u in practice and couldn't get it down. Thanks i cant wait to get back out there tmrw

[@vincentc2466]

Tried your way today. Feels a little awkward having my center of gravity lean all the way over but now I can actually see. Will keep practicing thanks

[@danielleshupinglee2631]

Super helpful I’m going to try this weekend!🎉

[@YohnathanYvl]

Those movements… ❤

[@stuarthys9879]

Interesting to see the comparison between inline and freestyle skiing! I think of inline as being skiing on concrete!

[@brunochim520]

please Ari, make more video tutorials like these!! Make one about urban rollerblading ): love your chanel

[@RLRSKATR1]

😂😂I carry the broom in my car too, even thou I'm a quad skater imma gonna keep watching you, I want to skate backwards like that....glad u mentioned the hockey experience

[@Miggeddy]

I got the atmos skates now and im waiting for a dry day here in germany dortmund Without a heel brake thatll interesting The tutorials are worth much for me! ✌️😁👍

[@simplycax]

Amazing stuff and very clear! More tutorials :)

[@soulance8342]

I see those wizards, they look niiice!

[@soutoabn]

TKS 4 the class dude, i'll practice these lessons!

[@virgiliod.9436]

Excellent tutorial and skating. My mind is ready but my body is not. ha! I understand it all but my strength is not there. I know I should skate more; that's the only solution. Just like singing, you sing more to gain strength and skill.

[@thestutteringskater]

Practice practice practice. It's all about progression. Mastery doesn't exist

[@philoki]

a little stuttering coming through, but I am so glad you still make these tutorials! so helpful! :)

[@thestutteringskater]

Thank you, more tutorials coming soon and deff more stuttering coming soon! It's a package deal ;)

[@DiegoSmith-o4t]

Wow, as if he's not already subconscious or struggling with it you have to hit below the belt

[@boethius1812]

Self-conscious* Maybe people pretending the stuttering doesn't exist makes him self-conscious. Maybe he's not self-conscious at all. Are you the stuttering police?

[@deni8688]

Can you please share you music playlist with each video. I’m not a skater (i plan to try it) but love watching you. Music choices out of this world 🇬🇧

[@Lilliputian63]

When I learned, those little "bubbles" were called Coke bottles because of the shape... You might also want to tell people that you are using aggressive grinder skates which are lower to the ground with more squared off wheels, thus making staying balanced a world easier. Beginners will often get the taller recreational skates that have wheels shaped for all around skating, but aren't conducive to doing complex acrobatics and movements. A good video.

[@therealAkito]

Thanks!

[@thestutteringskater]

I gotchu!!!!!

Hey jst came bak frm london and they have a huge group that skate around london city it look so cool i brought some skates to join now i cant stop wheels on wheels lessgo plus im frm Australia

[@DashDrones]

Good work 👍

[@TEARYEYEDCL0WN2313]

Went from watching a few shorts of the most effortless navigation of traffic and some off the smoothest skating to this tutorial and this helps so much mentally be able to picture what it is supposed to feel like and where to put pressure when doing certain movements. I'm 6 months in and started as strictly distance and fitness to lose weight and am finally to the point i wanna learn different ways to enjoy skating instead of straight forward for the most part but dont have the hip mobility for being able to look over my shoulder while going backwards, any drills or exercises you know of that could help with that? Any tips would be greatly appreciated and hope all is well.

[@VillanuevaFilms]

where is that park located wher you wer demonstrating how to skate backwards

[@highdiverpro1236]

Thanks so much for the video definitely explained every aspect of skating backwards for beginners to pros, (Question; what site did u get your White powerslide next skates off of?)

[@thestutteringskater]

I actually ordered those directly from powerslide but your local skate shop should have them too

[@lordenix]

hey man, really enjoying the videos after just finding your channel! im looking to get back into rollerblading but never really been sure what kinda skates im looking for. i love, love, LOVE how you just cruise around the city in and out of traffic. you have any brands that you vouch for? im not looking for top of the line but something that is well made?

[@Fero-of4ip]

Love your content my man this help me a lot💜

[@mimijdogwood]

Now I’m curious I would like to see your hockey videos if you are this amazing on rollerblades I can only image how great in hockey please share some

[@thestutteringskater]

Haha I dont have any hockey videos, I'd love to change that though

[@Noobwitha_Hat]

Hey, you should make a tutorial for backward skating transitions if they’re as good as this video!

[@thestutteringskater]

I'm working on it, as soon as I'm not slammed with work haha

Do you think you could do a beginner skate tutorial…explaining weight shifting and the ins and outs etc…this is my first Time visiting your channel and I’m thinking about getting into skating

[@kevinchoy5961]

Wish I got into skating earlier, looks like a sport I would like without causing damage to the knees too much.

[@elcamucarterista6172]

I would like to know where to look when you land a trick off a ramp backwards. I've seen people look back. At the beginning I went down small ramps backwards but I realized that when you go down a trick you go too fast and you have to be totally concentrated on the vertical position where you will fall and not on the return direction. I explain ? I think the correct thing to do when backwards falling an AERIAL trick from a ramp is to look forward completely in a scissor style + the flexion required and then orient the direction with the rotation of the torso.

[@elcamucarterista6172]

after ramp orient to fakie.

[@MissDarlaDeville]

So helpful thank you ❤😊

[@alia01234]

It's my first time to buy skates. Which number should I buy for the Twister xt model? My foot is 300-305mm.. I can't choose between 45.5/46 and 46.5/47 as it is exactly on the limit in the size chart. I wear 12 us in New Balance. And 1 finger goes inside. I'll be glad, if you help me.. Thanks

[@thestutteringskater]

Based on your measurements, if you want a performance fit, go with the 45/46 if you want comfort go a bit bigger.
