How to Rollerblade on Ramps, Slopes and Transitions // Beginner Inline Skating Tutorial

[@JC18751]

Aww didn't even realise this was a new vid 😅 been binge watching all your vids just got a pair of skates after 10 years off them .

[@BrandonDrummond]

Thanks for binging them 🙏Welcome back to blading!!!!

[@RichHayterSkater]

Cheers, Brandon. What you've just shown I was looking for a while back and couldn't find. I really just had to fumble my way through it. People take these basic skills for granted but there's a ton of learning in all this.

[@sometimesweskate7002]

Duuuude! This is dope. Been wanting to get better at this since we saw a seven year old girl absolutely destroying at a local skatepark the other day. Subscribed!

[@Boyish000]

LOL wow. Going to a transition park tomorrow, I go on YT and here's his new video. So sick. Been skateboarding for over 2 decades and been blading for one month. I'm in love dude.

[@theequasian3823]

IVE BEEN NEEDING THIS. A tutorial that teaches how to carve and not just pump!!!

[@maxwell_j_R]

Thanks for this! Skated a park for my first time ever Monday, waiting on knee pads before I go again, because ouch, haha.

[@barockobalma8622]

I went to the park for the first time today and went on it thinking it was simple and hurt my wrist. I’d never imagined I needed to watch this vid

[@chrisgarty]

Great video! Key note for beginners on making the “180 jump turn” shown towards the end… Shift your back foot forward before you jump to help with reducing the amount of rotation needed and build some rotational momentum. You can see that happening in the video if you watch closely.

[@hotforrobot]

Box stance, that was the visualization tip I needed. Thanks!

[@ederramirez3400]

Hell yeah, thank you hermano!!! I needed this.

[@ayyonmichaels9731]

This is Day one for me and im glad i watched your video... Cheers

[@BrandonDrummond]

Welcome to blading 🙏Thanks for watching

[@OnlyOnSindays]

My skater brain: THIS IS ALL MAKES SENSE! My body: your gonna bust your ass regardless! Ngl, this makes me wish I kept my inlines though. So much info that I wish I knew now, that I barely got access to.

[@ThirtyandRollin]

Great video! Super important tips!

[@irislocal9173]

I went to a skate park for the first time, I was so nervous. I did try to roll down a slope and went good at first until the big curves which I didn't know what to do. This tutorial, pretty much helps, tysm

[@BrandonDrummond]

Really thankful to read this. I'm glad your first day at the park went well! Keep killing it 🙏

[@TheBuefurd]

Oh man! Great vid. I've been consuming all the how-to vids on youtube for verts/bowls etc. Carved my first bowl this morning, around the same time that you uploaded this video. Unfortunately, I injured myself 40 mins in by slipping down a bank and pulling one of my lower ab muscles. I should have just slid down but i over-used my already tired abs. Sucks being injured, but I can't wait to get back out there and try it again. Keep the vids coming!

[@anotherspawn]

This is so helpful 🥰🥰🥰

[@MixinMum1210]

How do you do that transition from backwards to forwards at 5:04?

[@JigaByte]

Ok, start with pumping. Got it! THX.

[@imjonkatz]

Been skating for two months now and you've been a lot of help. Thanks Brandon :D

[@nibbax7772]

How did you practice?

[@imjonkatz]

@@nibbax7772 Going to the skatepark every day and I built a P-rail or practice rail for like $35. Keep consistent and find a crew

[@faizvgmc]

Thanks for this useful and easy to learn tutorial.

[@lahbrujax127]

I really appreciate the way you taught this💯🙌🏽

[@BrandonDrummond]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching.

[@lukasgibb]

Nice little guide mate. Was trying to give folks some tips the other day on how to roll little quarters, will have to direct them here. Cool green screen setup, well done. 👍

[@rooberoo1]

This was a very helpful tutorial 👍😊

[@BladerReboot]

Great tips Brandon!

[@chrischadwick1]

Awesome video dude. Really clear and concise with great b roll and editing 🔥

[@liliana.6053]

pumping is especially useful on bumpy roads, like when tree roots lift the pavement

[@MJRamirezVideo]

Thanks this helped a lot

[@dannytwitch3276]

PogB 2EZ4B lit tutorial. Can’t wait to try this out at the park. Thank you! SeemsGood

[@joharimohamed6474]

Thank u Brandon, I just happened to bump into your channel while browsing inline skating... I wanna get back in the game and I'm already 40😂...

[@BrandonDrummond]

It's never too late man. You should do it! You won't regret it! Thanks for watching 🙏

[@MixinMum1210]

Do it 👍🏻I’ve just started learning and I’ve just turned 51 😊

[@marcosdasilvacosta723]

Great tutorial, thank you!

[@BrandonDrummond]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching ❤️

[@EnglishRain]

Thank you so much!!

[@juancamula]

Buen video y tienes buena tecnica.

[@chevalsauer]

Hey just found ya and the location filmed looked awesome, but as you say its really rough so my BIG ? is do you know where the best smooth skate parks are around the country, or where ever you know around Wellingtown - thanks mate - ps yeah I actually live right behind one but its rough-as, and me 135 kgs on standard 85a wheels, I'd chew em out in no time...

[@VanessaaLives]

V helpful ty!!

[@daydreamer2749]

Excellent video, thank you for sharing! Any videos or advice for beginners on how to stop when coming back down backwards? I just switched from quads to rollerblades and am so use to having a stopper that helps me stop at any time on my ramp. Thanks!

[@gdust6579]

I think youre a very down to earth blader compare to most bladers ive met. I still have most tricks and techniques to learn , on and off blading for 20 years 😅 How do you keep up your speed? Is having all 8 wheels recommended? I have trouble keeping speed, making it very tiring to pump up half pipes or exit bowls . i have been using 4 wheels instead of 8.

[@beachsidebooy]

Best of best

[@madisongohl1703]

Where is this hoodie from? I love it! Thanks for the video

[@BrandonDrummond]

I designed it ❤️ It was my merch. It has since sold out but if you like that you may like the sweatshirt I have now. www.shop-laced.com/ Thanks for watching btw

[@kristenmoon4405]

I’m struggling with learning how to turn 180 while going up the ramp. From the video, it seems my issue is that I’ve been pumping then turning as 2 separate motions whereas it should be more of a seamless pump-into the turn. It’s’ food for thought, but man turning on a ramp feels so forced and awkward. Thank you for your explanations.

[@suryadnb]

That looks like a decent little ramp. Where was this filmed?

[@BrandonDrummond]

The ramps super rough, you do not wanna fall on it. But other than that it's dope. Its at Waitangi Park in Wellington, New Zealand.

[@suryadnb]

@@BrandonDrummond Thanks, will stop by next time I'm in Wellington! And hey, I never fall, I'm a pro :P

[@suryadnb]

@@BrandonDrummond Just saw on Google Maps it's a spine, love those :)

[@smalltymehero]

I'm pretty new to transition skating and am trying to figure out how turn both directions with while carving. Do you do the opposite "box" stance when you carve either left or right? Or do you always use your dominate foot forward no matter the direction of the carve? Awesome vid, I am pumped to try transition more.

[@BrandonDrummond]

Thanks for watching! I hope this helps you pic up transition fast! Keep your dominate foot forward for now. It should work in both directions. It'd be worth learning the opposite box stance while carving as well though. Get it down with your dominant foot in front and then get it down with the opposite. There's shortcuts for spins if you can do both. I hope that helps ✌

[@smalltymehero]

@@BrandonDrummond Ok thanks for the reply. This will give me confidence to just work on it with my dominate foot forward for now instead of questioning it constantly! I can really only spin one way right now but will hope to practice opposite box stance soon. Thanks, brotha!

[@tobiaspedersen8333]

Am I gonna learn to pump before I can turn completely around corners?

[@CanWeBike]

Hey Brandon, is this something that you NEED aggressive skates to do? I just started inline skating, and I have some new Rollerblade RB Cruisers with 80mm wheels. I didn't think I would like aggressive skating, but I've been practicing at my local skate park, and it seems like it would be fun. I think it's a big more challenging because I'm higher off the ground, and I gain speed quickly. Let me know what you think. Thanks for the videos!

[@BrandonDrummond]

Hey, thanks for watching! That's really cool you want to get into aggressive. You can do this on any skate not just aggressive. Once you master it on one you can do all wheel sizes and heights. Your 80s will just be a lot faster 🔥Aggressive skates may be a little easier because they're slower but overall the technique is the same.

[@zachspringer314]

My body hasn't been able to figure out how to come down fakie clean, and I hate taking up too much space at the park, so I skipped straight to the third step and figured out how to 180😂

[@akosszuper1824]

I dropped in the pool today!! But when I get to the other side, I can't go up all to the coping. I kinda shoot/jump out. It's scary to lean back. Any advice to correct it, please?

[@brandonpye4520]

What would be better to learn stalls/grinds on coping, island bay half pipe or karori mini ramp?

[@BrandonDrummond]

They're both not great but Karori's better because its wider. Island bay is to short.

[@brandonpye4520]

@@BrandonDrummond cheers for the tip man

[@chantehr5748]

Hi Brandon I have a question. I bought myself fitness skates and I was wondering how many things will be difficult/impossible to do apart from going straight. Can I improve on these skates or I have to buy different ones?

[@BrandonDrummond]

Hey Alex. You can learn everything except grinds with normal fitness skates. You can definitely improve just using the skates you have. No need to buy new ones yet.

[@chantehr5748]

@@BrandonDrummond thank you 😊

[@MultitaskingGuy]

I wonder if my skateboarding history will help

[@jonahprescott8378]

Hmm, I ended doing all of this on my own. Still can’t go down backwards though

[@letsart6434]

The box stance makes my feet try to turn when I don't want them to and it makes me lose balance

[@lustforlow-end6022]

An easy way to help yourself learn how to pump is just think of how you use your legs to push yourself on a swing. I’ts the same motion 👍

I can't carve without lifting my feet how tf

[@BrandonDrummond]

If you ride a freestyle or anti-rocker set up or have square profile wheels, it will be very hard to turn without lifting. A setup like that is not good for carving ramps. But it's still possible you will just have to do very wide turns. Thanks for watching and keep at it. I hope this helps 🙏

[@commanderpinkie7617]

I got about 2 minutes in until I remembered I live in the desert, so there is no roads to even use. Cool video though.
