How To Transition On Roller Skates | PART 2

[@umekowo]

The way you break these things down is so helpful!! Thank you!

[@MarilynTantrum]

Thank you so much for the feedback ^.^

[@alejandracarlos625]

I have been doing drills, at first I looked like a baby giraffe, now starting to get it. May be in several days of practice it will become easier. Not even trying for derby but just basic skating. Its awesome advice!!

[@annafromsantapina]

thank you soo much for this step by step tutorial and your honesty! I am trying to transition for several weeks now and thought I was super slow or even unable to pick the skill up - you saying it took some time for you as well really gives me confidence! Sooner or later I will turn! Thank you 😍

[@MarilynTantrum]

Thank you 🙏 well done on your progress

[@echo1983]

Thanks love. Starting to roller skate and particularly want to do roller derby. I hope the guy keep playing in the future.

"On purpose"!!! You got me. One of my teammates pointed out to me that I can and do open up my hips/feet all the way, but I get scared and pull back. When my ankle heals (fell doing a plow stop on the skills test lmao) I'm gonna practice maybe shouting something silly like reciting a vine video or shouting "COMMIT!". Thanks!

[@MarilynTantrum]

☺️☺️☺️ let me know how you go

[@swvsnick]

@@MarilynTantrum i definitely will! I'm hoping this off skates break due to the ankle injury will help reset my mental a bit too!

[@swvsnick]

@@MarilynTantrum UPDATE: I *think* i'm doing transitions right for derby, i'm definitely having an easier time staying open i think! the month off is once again a miracle worker!

[@swvsnick]

@@MarilynTantrum One more update: besides the first 2-3 weeks of this semester (which started Jan 8th) I've been skating in practice at least once a week but mostly twice a week (My Music Composition major had some required concerts that conflicted with our practices :( ) and I got scared of transitions again for a while while trying them at speed, but I can pretty effectively do them over my right shoulder (my good side) and I've started loosening up and getting them on my left side! My teammates say I likely would've passed the skills test if I had been able to finish it (There was insane traffic one practice night and I had to leave early for one of those mandatory concerts so the person running the test go there late) but we're having a bout vs ourselves this sunday, and I'm likely going to be filling out a ref position or other Non-Skate-Officer positon. Hoping we can do another round of skills testing early next semester!

perfect timing thank you so much fo the video! We are just learning to transition in derby but not really been shown small steps to progress up to it, just kind of told to do it. As someone whose still just getting the hang of being on wheels it's been really daunting. thank you for the tips I will try to practice these now at home and hopefully get more confident!!

[@MarilynTantrum]

Thank you and let me know how you progress 😍

Thanks!

[@chloespruce2443]

Thank you 💕 great video! Breaking it down in steps helps a lot

[@yvonnetavares9802]

I love your videos! And appreciate your shirt. 😁

[@HouseofWolff]

I’m watching this so I can work on my transitions tonight at practice

[@hannahm9205]

This is perfect, it's so nice to have actual steps to work up to doing a full transition! :) For someone like me who doesn't do derby, what's a disco turn? I haven't had luck finding any info on it, does it go by another name? Thanks!

[@MarilynTantrum]

Hello 👋 a disco turn is very fun. It’s like a half circle motion where you don’t take your skate wheels off the ground.

[@barneyblair]

Thank you Ms Tantrum

[@divahollywood]

Love this thank you so much I love your videos.

[@MarilynTantrum]

Thank you 😊

[@hollywood5703]

It seems harder to so with my heel skates. Is it easier with your derby skates?

[@tahliahstainwall5315]

This is amazing!! Love your videos, they have helped me so much! Where are your tights from?

[@MarilynTantrum]

Thank you 🙏 they are from rock ware

[@skateata1]

How have the presto wheels held up?

[@MarilynTantrum]

Great - I love them. I think this is my 3rd pair, I use them ALOT

[@skateata1]

@@MarilynTantrum thank tou for responding! Just ordered some. A lot of places have sold out their wheels but my shop happened to have some of these in stock.

[@melissamarquez9005]

I don’t see where it says the type of skates & wheels your wearing. I’m looking to buy some for dance skating/also good for skating around parks. Thank you for your help! And love your tutorials!!!
