How To Rollerskate - TRANSITION PIVOTS + VARIATIONS + EAGLE POSE! ~ by a USARS Certified Coach

This is an INTERMEDIATE to ADVANCED Level instruction on how to do transitions (forward to backward and backward to forward) using a pivot. I also call these 'lazy transitions'. Intermediate through advanced versions are demonstrated. Then we practice eagle and an eagle pose variation. Check the description below to jump to a section you want to see! I break it all down from scratch. PRACTICE!

how can I not watch these skating drills....(a) they save me from the embarrassment of trying them in a rink and (b) my confidence becomes so great until the outing with other skaters is super enjoyable...thanks you so much

[@appelusa]

Hi Johnnie! So glad you are enjoying and resonating :)

[@This.is.it307]

The disclaimers mid-instruction were very helpful. Great video once again.

Your voice is so calming I could literally sleep to it

[@appelusa]

Haha nice thank you, I do voice overs for a living as well 😊 maybe I should add guided meditation services 🤣

[@paulgait4107]

Absolutely love your tutorials have helped me so much .thank you 😊

[@appelusa]

That’s so nice to hear 😁

[@udavafashion]

Love your tutorials! I sooo get it when u explain it. Been skating for years and now with your videos I understand y some of my techniques are not as smooth. Thank you soo much! 🤗👍🏾

[@appelusa]

That’s awesome to hear :) thank you for connecting!! 🙌🏼

[@christiecollins5286]

You are such a gifted teacher. I really appreciate the clarity and thoroughness of your tutorials. Please keep them coming ❤️ Special request: one foot turns on the outside edge (is that a 3-turn) and pendulum swings

[@appelusa]

Thank you Christie! I was planning on an upcoming tutorial on classic 3Turns with edge. I’ll have to look up what you mean by pendulum swing- so you mean by adding the swing of the free leg during the edge in traditional Freedance (like ice or roller) ?

Thx a lot for this tutorial 😉

You are so welcome!

Need to sign up for Saturday zoom

[@TechboogieTV]

Thank you! Never heard your tips with moving the hips forward. Been doing hip opener stretches a lot to try and open my tight manhips, hopefully this helps even more so I can transition smoother

[@valeriefragoso1317]

You are a really good teacher, can you do a tutorial about toe spins o toe pivots💫

[@appelusa]

Thank you!! Yes are you referring to toe stop pivots ? I have one coming!

[@valeriefragoso1317]

@@appelusa Yes toe stop pivots😄

Thank you! It was a temporary covid opportunity ❤️🛼👍🏻 and I enjoyed every second

@@appelusa thanks for the reply. You looked great in chet faker video.

[@Ranhelwa]

Im struggling finding a good Outside surface to train... can you tell me what kind of surfaces are good? Today I went skating and my skates were hardly rolling on the ground...

[@appelusa]

Hey! What type of skates / wheels/ bearings do you have? I suggest a super soft wheel like sure grip aerobics. I have a link in my video descriptions. Also bearing type will have an impact on how well the wheel rolls. Super soft wheel with a well rolling bearing good for outdoors most any surface. If it’s really gravely obviously that makes it difficult. If you can find a nice paves street, basketball court, plaza, try that 😊

[@lifewithRahul517]

Very nice master... Where you from? 💐

[@appelusa]

[@paulgait4107]

With trucks how much movement do you have ? 🤔 I do out door skating and have the backs hard and the front slight movement.

[@appelusa]

I like quite a bit of give since I have a figure skating background and need edges for footwork and spins. It’s such a personal preference. Try loosening and see how you do. I usually have the front slightly looser than back but the back still have give

[@paulgait4107]

@@appelusa thank you for your reply. One thing I am now finding hard to grasp going from in lines to quads is front to backwards transition. I seem to transition but it goes more in to a power stop 🙄🤔 currently watching your tutorial 😉

[@giusyloburgio3079]

Can you do a lesson on crazy legs please?

[@appelusa]

I will put that in my to do list !

[@giusyloburgio3079]

@@appelusa thank you!

[@CandraLH]

So is this essentially a toe wheel transition? This actually makes me feel kinda good that you consider this an intermediate still because I can do this! Yay me!

[@appelusa]

Yes the first turn (forward to back) is a toe wheel transition. Stoked for you 👏🏻🌟

[@tomtoomes9541]

You're adorable xoxo

oh ythat last one is a goocher
