Thanks man the advice on opening up the chest and shoulders was very helpful to me. It was nice of you to even make a video Don't mind these haters

[@eslamelshaer3414]

This guy is only teaching us how to go down a ramp by skating backwards.

[@nequr3234]

+Eslam El Shaer ydea i wanna know how to carry on goin backwards by moving your legs

[@BltchErica]

And that isn't a good tutorial either. You first need to go up and down the ramp until you feel comfortable and then you can just go backwards on it.

[@asktoft8699]

No

This guy is the prince of Aggressive inkine skating. He can teach anybody

Awesome tutorial video! Thanks!

[@solrac7576]

Nice very simple iam learning how to roll backward on to the ramp and grind but is not easy when weel's are small.

[@JamestheLess1976]

Thank you so much, I needed that lesson. I'm working on learning how to do backwards cross-overs.

[@theaussieninja8176]

+transformersvoice skatefresh have better instructions

[@JamestheLess1976]

I know skatefresh is very detailed. Thanks for your time though with your video. I've improved so much since my last comment. Now I am working on slalom skating.

[@theaussieninja8176]

cool have you been skating long? when i say skate i'm assuming you rollerblade as do I

[@Zeisslermusic]

Nice video, thanks for showing

[@happytoejam4548]

i am a 10 year old boy with razor cult aggressive skates, I couldn't skate for my life until I watches these videos. Thanks! :)

[@anthonydodson3747]

Thanks for that advise

[@Henri-rw9gn]

The park is really cool

[@xskywakerx]

nice guy, thank you, you help me

[@ibrahimishack9101]

Thus a good teach😍

[@TheRealMarcosMiranda]

Any tips on going backwards straight. When I peek back following your directions, I start to cut hard to the right... (Looking over my right shoulder)

[@Daniel-dj7fh]

i'd say you'd need to adjust and practice. if you find something, let me know

[@xxthepoppaxx]

I do that too.

[@oscarhollywood]

Title would be better as "how to roll backwards"

[@jumbooolumbooo4996]

I agree because I want to learn how to skate backwards not just go down the ramp and roll

[@carolynntaylor]

Jumbooo lumbooo, Same

[@Daniel-dj7fh]

how does one know which shoulder is dominant? i skate with my right leg in the front forwards

[@guillermofigueroaurbanskat1394]

When you skate backwards the side you feel more confortable rotating a little the shoulders and the face looking in the direction you going. The leg of this side goes first (the bending and separation of legs improves the balance)

[@juniornsapu3182]

I don't know how to start going back please can you help me with this please cause I realy wanna do it. Thank you for answering.

[@ahoors1812]

it's easy really. When skating backwards skate with your foot making a C. Do this with one foot then the other right after.

[@sailormoon393]

Thanks ✨

[@Davefld321]

Hey man do you have any tips for a beginner? Everybody skateboards so I don't want to board but I want to blade instead! Advice from anyone else who knows about this style of skating/blading is much appreciated as well!

[@QorakMustDie]

+Dave Field First you have to learn how to skate on fitness skates, practice jumps, t-stop, powerslide, skate on one leg, skate backwards, oce you've leard all of that you can practice powerblading or aggressive

[@TravistheGREAT03]

+Qorak Must Die You seem to have a good idea about the whole thign, would you mind me askign you a few questions? :) I also recently got really interested in aggressive blading. But I'm already 26. And my childhood and teens due to some way to for ehre convoluted reasons I stayed away from Sports etc. And That changed recently which I am really happy about :) So I never even learned how to properly Skate normal. But I know that if I am going to learn it I definiteley want to switch to blading sooner or later. So, yous a I should defenitely learn nromal skating first? And maybe it is a stupid question but saying that one is willing to put in as much efffort as it takes is their an age where it is "too late" to try to get into aggressive blading? Especially if you did nto Skate as Child or Teen?

[@iProcratinate]

+TravistheGREAT03 i'm 23 and took up skating 3 months ago. The basics take a lot longer than say, riding a bike, but personally i've found it rewarding learning them. Braking / slaloming is the hardest fundamental to get down and also the most important. I learnt by practicing in big car parks at night. you feel like an idiot for the first 4 hours or so but it gets easier after that haha Now i feel comfortable going up and down hills, and messing around on jumps and ramps and things. you could head straight to the skate park as soon as you start learning, you just wont be able to do much. i still havn't got any aggressive skates but i'd try answer anymore questions if you have them. lso it's never too late to learn, it's just embarrassing having people see you skate around like a noob at first.

[@TravistheGREAT03]

+Johnny Knox Thanks for the answer :) And nice to hear that some pother people are also just starting when they are a little older. Yeah I also was planning on geeting soem freeskates and just learn some stuff. and yeah I will also look for some big quiet place at night. no intention of lettign people see me fail either. But thanks again, and if I have a question I will gladly ask :)

[@Daniel-dj7fh]

@@TravistheGREAT03 i started rollerblading about 3 years ago, and am quite confident on the streets, recently got a pair of agressive skates. gonna try out new things, maybe get agressive skates with bigger wheels some day and mix street and agressive skating up

[@botanicals9597]

I let my right leg push and my left control and my friends tell me if there is someone XD

[@17XmaxB]

2nd

[@BltchErica]

You go forward, then do a 180, only moving your waist, not torso, so you can look over your shoulder and you just do that. In 2 months you will look like a pro, that was my case.

[@BltchErica]

I mean you are still going to move ur torso, but keep your head in the same pozition. You need to look over your shoulder.

[@RPGeniu5]

+Bltch Erica you should upload so videos of your skating. P.S I told you I find you all over skating videos lol

[@BltchErica]

I'm not too good at skating. I really like it, but I have no talent at all.

[@BltchErica]

Only my backwards skating and gaps are good.

[@RPGeniu5]

+Bltch Erica gaps are awsome tho, don't put yourself down, of you ever make a video let me now I'll definitely watch it

[@patrycjadreemer3003]

Video far too basic even for beginners. You didn't even go backwards, you just demonstrated how to roll backwards and it took long 5 minutes :)

[@Belzeele]

i disagree, it actually helped me a lot with the footpositioning and the right way to look backwards

[@carolynntaylor]

Belzeele, I disagree too

[@gradythejedi5343]

Patricia Dreamer fr

[@Civerius]

+Patricia Dreamer Bend knees, stagger feet, and open shoulders you dunce, without bend knees you can wipeout going up or down a ramp or banks, wood or concrete. Opening shoulders improves your balance when going backwards, and staggering your feet allows you to move fluidly. If you know how to skate so well, perhaps you should upload tutorials of your own?
