How to Not Look Like a Beginner on Roller Skates

Create/Modify a cool skate move maybe? 🤔

[@thisismylovehandle]

I want to see DD skate!!! We get to see you in all your badassery but she never shows off!! Also, please show us exercises to do off skates that will help on skates. I've seen your abs video. That was helpful! And Deb told me to balance, I'm doing that. I want more!! More fitness.

[@ertfgghhhh]

Hey, im always tripping and falling cause im leaning forward too much that the wheels lock. What can i do to ensure the correct posture but not lean too far back and fall backward? (I broke my wrist falling backwards in feb )

[@artneird2409]

Can you unbox the Schwinn roller skates?

[@memelordtm355]

When I started out, first day I was clinging to the walls and trying to keep my balance. Now I can skate backwards on two wheels. Everyone starts from somewhere, so don’t be embarrassed to be a beginner.

[@IornFoxYT]

Yes

[@LivingRequiresMusic]

This was so motivational! I'm currently clinging to the walls trying to stand up straight haha. Maybe one day I will be able to go backwards

[@mikio6215]

LMAO!!!

[@fazionlondon8773]

And to all beginner skaters PLEASE SKATE IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. It is DANGEROUS to skate in the opposite direction.

[@memelordtm355]

Fazion London I’ve been speed skating and smashed right into the front of a 5ish year old going the wrong way (tbh I got hurt worse), but it is extremely dangerous, don’t do it.

[@jasonxii3141]

MemeLord TM I’ve done the same thing due to kids going the wrong way. My skating rink used to having an outer line with arrows but they repainted to solid blue :/

[@sassyn000t8]

Or crossing the floor from through the middle, the middle is mostly used for people doing tricks and the outer edge is for fast skaters. Crossing the floor from the middle messes up the people doing tricks, jam, and fast skaters it pisses me off so much

[@scar262]

Fazion London yeah no shit that’s common sense something tells me you found that out the hard way

[@IornFoxYT]

Yea, I learned, walking straight is dangerous for beginners, it only makes you skate backwards making it easier to fall and get hurt, it sounds weird but its safer, my classes and my old freind showed me to walk with your feet sideways

[@wyattspop]

I love how welcoming Deb is, "we want you to get your photos", "everyone falls", no elitist attitudes here. I was one of the best in my city, but always picked up the noobs when they fell etc. Skating is such a wonderfully social pastime where even socially awkward folks can be "cool" when they learn to skate well, one of my fondest memories, now time to teach my boy to skate...

[@sanam1471]

Haha first I read it as "I always picked ON the noobs.." and I was like uh excuse me 😂

[@wyattspop]

@@sanam1471 To funny, and sad at the same time knowing there are people who'd actually admit being bullies! You guys are awesome.

[@nabranestwistypuzzler7019]

I would just tell you to not help me up so that I can do it myself unless I was hypothetically seriously injured and couldn’t, but obviously not after a regular fall.

[@silverstream3531]

I always look at my feet when in public spaces due to my social anxiety but every time I skate, I become a different, I’m more open, I talk to people and I don’t look at my feet, feels amazing, I just love skating

[@juliahnarose3385]

That’s amazing! This happens with me too, I feel confident when i skate... i’m not sure why, but it really helps with my anxiety and i’m so glad that it helps you too!

[@agnikai8265]

I feel you, I used to skate when I was like 10/11 but I stopped because i've gained so much weight and my foots grew up and I never found a proper size for me, but now that I lost weight (7 years later), hopefuly i will come back skating, because it was so amazing, it was like someone else possessed me while skating, I felt free and incredible, as if I was the main character, and I'm more than eager to feel that way again, just like music, skating can be an escape valve for me. My city have some skating groups, this can even be a new chance to meet new friends and get out of my own bubble.

[@1r1descent_Sk1es]

Same

[@danielafoslin2799]

Same! I actually approach people when I’m at the rink which I never do outside of that environment. I feel like the fun, musical atmosphere of it makes me feel more open. More of a childlike mentality of hey we’re all just having a good time- whuddup skate fam? 😂

[@intracosm]

Also: don’t stop skating. Just like with a language or musical instrument the repetition of skating alone will make you more proficient.

[@kandikid3805]

@Holly NoFront It's not even so much the pebble as it is cracks. Cracks will hurt you. Learn to fall small, forward with your knees bent, and that should help. Don't let the scary stuff stop you!

[@CarolineATorge]

I soooo love this rink! I used to weigh nearly 400 lbs, and starting at about 250 lbs, I started skating here every Tuesday and Thursday morning. I skated my way down to 140 lbs, and skating helped me to learn how to be aware of my body... I moved away from SoCal in 2005, and I so miss this rink! Awhile back, I got Lyme which stopped me in my tracks. I am just now getting back into skating again. Unfortunately, where I live now (Long Island, NY), there is nothing that even comes close to this rink. Thank you both for sharing your videos! The info you both provide is so inspiring and helpful! (I just bought a pair of Moxi Lollys based on your recommendations, and I can't wait to get them so that I can start skating more regularly outdoors.)

[@mewithamessage]

How lovely! How long did it take you to get to 140? I use my skates for fitness too, but I've only been skating for about a month now.

So I've been roller skating for about a month now and even just a few weeks in I had several people tell me how fast I got good at skating. I was never really bad at it😂 But recently while I was skating some guy came up behind me and pushed me and I fell on my tailbone. I had to go to the ER and turns out I bruised it. I didn't have time to think and fall lighter, so just so you guys know, you can't always predict your fall and help it hurt less.

[@buttercupslongnails]

Okay so padded pants. Got it

[@Firefly-wb5kk]

Thank you so much for saying advanced skaters respect the struggle of newbies! *cries* I'm always so self conscious that they're laughing at me for being so clumsy and just...bad...that I often won't try to do more than skate forward for fear of ridicule. Kids are mean to other kids, and that kind of constant treatment sticks with you throughout your life, even unconsciously. Even as a full grown adult with easily breakable bones, I can still hear them laughing when I fall. So thank you. Thank you SO much for validating the struggles we beginners have. I just got back into it a couple of days ago after over 10 years of not touching a pair of skates. I have to relearn everything, and all I can do so far is go forward and walk on my toe stops. I am afraid of transitions.

A vivid memory, my first time roller skating. Fernwood Gardens in Peoria, IL, in the 60s, with a youth fellowship group which my mom and dad led. Although I actually did make it around the floor a few times, it was watching mom and dad couples dance skating, after having not skated for over ten years, that was inspiring. What a picture they were. I got better over time, but seeing my parents skate is still a beautiful memory.

[@albertosterling24]

You always speak about techniques to improve, but never about how a flexible hip is key to properly skate.

I've been skating since i was 2 ( i am 11 as of now) and i always used Quads, (traditionals) and I've summer i was with a friend and she told me, "hey, you know how to ice skate?" I said, "well, ya." She said, "then you know how to rollerblade!!" So I ended up using rollerblades from then on. I've been using rollerblades for about 4 years now. in April, I was skating in my normal rollerblades (i had been using my blades for about 5 years at this point) I got my very first pair of quads !!! I was so excited!!! It has been years since I ever even tried lacing up my new skates. (at the time) my friend Max had a pair of skates called "Code Reds" from a company called VNLA SKATES(vanilla skates). He ended up convincing me to get the same skates he had (the Code Reds) now to current day I still have the same skates. I've learned so much on them if your ever in Bellevue NE. Come down to Skate City. It's an amazing roller rink down in my area, where I grew/growing up. Thank you so much for making skate videos for learner's and beginners. Love, Adrienne❤️🐢

So fun Getting better at crossovers Transitions are iffy. I am from HB. I went to FVHS. GREAT teaching and videos. I've skating 8 months. My balance and legs stronger. Thank you

When I was a beginner I was 3 years old!! (Seriously, my dad used to take me all the time) but I was always so horrible, but, now I’m doing kinda good and yeah.. just get lots of practice if you want to do any sport anything any hobby, just practise a lot and it will help, trust me.

ive been skating for style for about 2 months now, I can go backwards but keeping momentum is the most difficult thing for me, I was a speed skater so I'm really used to normal muscle memory crossovers and anything really, but its progress, keep up the work guys!

The first and last time I skated I twisted my ankle 🥴🥴 lol but I wanna try it again it was fun while it lasted 😭

Very well put together without making us newbies feel like dum dums! I’m also you glad you added etiquette! Because that spawns across the board for beginners and pros alike. Thanks!
