How To Skate Sideways (Mohawk, Spread Eagle Tutorial) (Amended)

[@thiagohenriquebruno]

best tutorial on this skill so far, very elaborated and detailed explanation. Your tips on focusing in the knees helped me a lot. I Learned in less than 20 attempts. I’m a beginner level skater

[@mikeschwartz9755]

Agreed!

[@spiritisalive1]

Thanks for saying focus on the knees. This whole time I've been focusing on my feet.

[@Lisa-in-this-world]

I've been working on this for awhile now and have noticed some people find it much easier than others. For me I have come to the conclusion that my hips are a problem and do not open enough, left hip being worse, this also impacts my transitions. My solution is yoga and especially hip opening exercises. Still an ongoing process but getting easier the more yoga i do. So if your struggling with this, search KZbin for hip opening yoga exercises...

[@DLinton]

My girlfriend can do this without trying. I've suffered for months.

[@artzmove571]

Exactly, you have ro be able to get your feet sideways. If.youre not flexible enough, this is the issue. Not skill.

[@mleobviously]

@@artzmove571 I don't consider myself flexible at all (sit at a desk all day, unable to sit cross-legged), and eventually got it. You have to build up the muscle strength to hold it through repetition, took me a few weeks of consistent fails to get it.

[@kbs1212]

I am so relaxed by your voice in these tutorials. Makes all of this appear more approachable. Very well explained. 👏🏼

[@tianranye6769]

I have to say that your voice is very soothing

[@reneecoleman4810]

Need some tips on exercise to practice to get my legs in this position. I can't even turn them off skates heel to heel.

[@DeezSkates]

A good place to start would be to search "Figure skating stretches for hip flexibility" on KZbin.

[@dmitry_simply_speaking]

one of my favourite skating channels. Just learnt mohawk with both leading legs, now it's time to swerve.

[@sighange]

Awesome tutorial for this elusive yet important skill to have. i practiced here and there in the past, i'll follow your guidelines this time. Much appreciated!

[@skatetime9259]

Thankyou so for this tutorial I really needed this Love 💕 from India ❤️❤️ After 1 months of practice now I did it Thankyou so much

[@DLinton]

I cannot tell you how many times I've come back to this video. (edit/update: Take it back, 7 times now. Thanks Firefox history.)

[@uospoom]

Hows it going for you? How long did it take for you to learn Side Stance?

[@DLinton]

@@uospoom I dance (check my channel) but I'm not flexible. I started roller skating last year and can finally glide sideways. I can't pump my legs though.

[@DLinton]

I've dedicated about 1.5 months to the stretches for sideways skating.

[@uospoom]

@@DLinton I am stretching by standing at a tall desk and putting my feet/knees in the mohawk position for as long as possible. I hope this works! Thanks for the reply!

[@DLinton]

@@uospoom I use the [annoying] groves in the sidewalk to keep one skate stationary. Then I work on holding the other in the sideways position as long as possible. I'm currently working on going a little further than 180°.

[@JunVanMars]

Took me about 2 months to learn to roll sideways in kind of a straight line. what a journey :D now with the other foot in front feels like starting from the beginning again ^^" but this move is soooo fun. thank you so much for this...

[@masteroftakedowns1756]

every move i do i learned it from you

[@D-Love2947]

Absolutely love it. I can imagine myself doing the move as I'm watching. Just got to put it into motion now. It's definitely a part I hate about my skating, transitions are at a slow speed and even still my backwards skating doesn't feel stable like my front. I'd happily fully bomb a hill going forward not so much backwards. Scissoring my legs is easy going forwards.

[@rudyerny7210]

I agree, i can too.

[@DashDrones]

Think this is my favorite way to skate.

[@jscamry]

Loved the tutorial! I have been practicing via your video and I able to skate sideways in a circle. But in a line I have difficulty moving my legs in and out while keeping my balance band creating speed. But I will this down!

[@1savior3nails4given]

I'm still a beginner on rollerblades but I'm determined to learn an outside spreadeagle. I can do it on ice... I want to learn it on wheels now! I tried it last night and part of me thought it seemed impossible but I was hoping that if I could see someone doing it then I'd prove myself wrong.....and you've done just that, so THANK YOU!! Hard but not impossible!! 💪 I'll be coming back to this video very often!👍

[@uniquepickles6804]

Steering with the knees is such a great tip, damn. Thank you!

[@dizzzskating8150]

You helped me I’m a racer skating and now this is making me better

[@rjgamingandfun]

Did this for the first time last night. Im aware of my inflexibilities... this video helps. I’m better with my left leg leading.

[@caio22rocha]

You do it so easy, I hope one day get this skill.

[@kzspins]

Dang - such a well-done tutorial! And so helpful!!

[@a.m.3118]

Man today i managed to do the barrel roll, not perfect but quiet smooth. Time to switch to blades an learn everything new. So excited. Your videos are lit. Keep it up !

[@caio22rocha]

This tick is amazing, nice tutorial, but it look likes impossible to do but I will try. Thanks.

[@adewy9569]

I love your videos so much! Thank you for all of the helpful content! :)

[@DLinton]

@Deez Skates, Any tips on the pumping action? When my back leg pushes, I can't seem to get it back in line (to resume moving straight forwards). I end up transitioning [very nicely] to backwards skating.

[@jsch7208]

Have you maybe found a solution to that in the meantime? Cause I am at that very point now and would appreciate ideas, too. :)

[@raysingl3ton]

Great tutorial! You guys inspire me to become a better skater! I have been outside skating with quads but now its time to go back to blades for a while for outdoors skating, and grapevine practice for quads, haha, ah.

[@Johro66]

Awesome stuff thanks for re-uploading, it's just a great tutorial

[@DeezSkates]

Thanks Johro! I'm trying to work my way through my last school project to get some more out like this. I have some really great ideas to help people develop their skating!

I’ll occasionally try this move at the rink but couldn’t figure it out UNTIL NOW! I got it my first try yesss! Thank you!

[@DeezSkates]

Yesss! Great work! 🙌

I literally feel like my feet wont do it

Oh this video is good coz it demonstrates it in both quads and inline.

[@woozoolisha9678]

I'm riding a roller, so I'm going to enjoy it.

[@NiNjA636Ty]

I’ve been doing it for years since 90s I had difficulties to transition to skate backwards. It was more comfortable then going straight

[@synrobyn]

This was so helpful 👏🏾

[@daveman9468]

Great tutorial, hard skill to gain.

[@kinqvu4963]

Thanks for this vid, i learned how to do it on inlines in about a 4 hour session with this video. Btw, do you think you could make a video on backwards crossovers, or smooth maneuvering?

[@DeezSkates]

I have plenty of tutorials coming. Building up to backward cross overs soon!

[@jeremydinieri8338]

Great tutorial, really like this move alot. Any chance you will make a more advanced tutorial for side skating, maybe touching upon some of the moves you can combine with slalom or transitions?

[@timk801]

Thanks for the video! For beginners, which foot should I put my weight on, the front or the back?

[@cyy3793]

I find putting slightly more weight to the back foot, and steering with the back foot (instead of the front foot), makes steering easier.

[@PapitoChocolate]

Loving your tutorials!! What brand are those purple quads? They look so fly

[@DeezSkates]

Custom Riedell Solaris.

[@toddrigger2816]

Awesome tutorial. Can do this on ice with hockey skates but not yet mastered it on my inlines for some reason! What's the hand move at 2:35 about - secret signal? ;)

[@glebm7688]

Awesome stuff 👍! Quick question - is it allowed to rollerblading in the parking? Did you ever had any probs with cops?

[@DeezSkates]

Never had any issues before.I skate through the parking lots and walkways downtown a lot as well where the police are crawling. They've never bothered me. I even skate into the stores to get things I need while I'm out. No one even acknowledges that I have skates on really.

[@nutty2funny616]

👍👍I give it two best explanation

Any stretch ideas to make this more easier?

Like this tutorial, i tried for long rime for this eagle but not succed yet, when i did this eagle position the direction is not straight forward but just making turn/circle.

can I do this in rockered set up skate? thanks and nice tutorial

[@InstaStopper]

Hi D. Great tutorial. Need to tell you that those begginers like myself that are not flexible, this will put them off. I would be nice to know before starting. Can you put a comment in the description? Ta.

[@PaleBluu]

I consider myself to be more flexible than the average male and took me almost 2 months of regular practice to get my hips that open. It definitely helps if you perform hip opening exercises and stretch regularly (every day). I would watch TV at home standing with my hips in that position (use a chair or table for balance). It takes practice and it won't come fast for most, but eventually you'll get it.

[@jacobshearer4690]

What if I got bad ankles from bone decay and can’t get them in line with out shoes I and go sideways while turning into going backwards with a wider carve maybe I’ll just have to always do a swerve so my ankles don’t need to be dead straight?

[@alexandrecarvalho7628]

I tried to do this for the first time today. I fell into a random glass bottle in the middle of nowhere. I'm fine though and tomorrow ill try again!

[@YourBrotherInArms-BDOG]

Dude this tutorial makes everything so so much easier so well described 👏

[@SirPrancelot1]

Second time I've given this the thumbs up. Did it the first time then hit the replay button and it had been pulled! Copyright? Be careful. I've heard from other KZbinrs that it's three strikes and your out! Like the new name. Nothing wrong with a double D though.........

[@DeezSkates]

Thanks for your support! Fortunately It was a claim, not a strike. I thought it was copyright free, but I was apparently wrong, so the owner took over monetization of the video. Had to get new music going and reclaim it since I put so much time into this one!

[@SirPrancelot1]

@@DeezSkates Sorry about the monetization but glad no strike. Unless the musician involved is a skating fan how did they know you were using the music?

[@DeezSkates]

In short, KZbin is laced with software that can detect copyrighted or duplicated material and notifies the copyright owner that someone is using their content. The song was supposed to be copyright free, but I’m guessing the original artist sold the beat and the current owner tried to monetize the video.

Deez Skates ops! Mah bad. Perfect!!

[@hadassabuenabad4172]

Hi I'm looking forward to buy my first skates and I'm trying to figure out if I should buy skates with plastic wheels or rubber wheels (quads). Could you recommend me which ones? Thank you!!

[@DeezSkates]

Softer urethane wheels are best for outdoors, while hard wheels can serve better for indoor rinks with properly coated floors. You will need to look at the durometer rating. A higher number equals a harder wheel. Lower number means a softer wheel. Durometers tend to range between 70a (softest) and 100a (hardest). Preferences differ between inline and quads, but I personally use 85a hybrid wheels called Atom Poisons for my quad skates.

[@kbs1212]

Deez Skates Thanks for this info! I was also wondering. 🙏🏼

[@thememelords9491]

This is exactly what I wanted I had no idea what to call it but I wanted to do it Also does anyone know what its called when you balance on one foot, squat down low, and stick the other foot forwards?? I go to a skating rink that does limbo and I wanna learn how to do whatever it is I just watched like a minute into the video and Im a dumbass ive been trying to do it without bending my knees Also I already Use this sort of thing to transition from back to front(not front to back tho)

[@igorgoga7985]

How do you recover in order not to fall if you are just starting the straight line part of the tutorial, please?

[@thamiemnyanda9801]

🔥🔥🔥

[@Mrmhibbert]

You wouldn't believe how many people ask me how I do this... But I only use it really to stretch my muscles and cruise. Never really thought about carving with it before. I'll say this to anyone struggling with it... Try to get comfortable with your feet being inverted... I had to stretch over a few days to get my body used to this position

[@kabask8er]

😉👍✨いいね🎵

[@KeishawnGFX]

i remember when i first did it after weeks of trying 😂

You can practice walking like a crab with your shoes on to get the feeling more comfortable when you are on wheels.
