Jam Skating Routine | DIPS for beginner roller skaters
I’m learning how to do dips in my roller skates. I’m learning so let me know if you are good with these and have any tips - I haven’t practiced them in a while so I’m not going very far down to the ground in my lounges. If you’re comfortable, try to go lower. The tempo of the song is a bit fast for me to confidently get deeper in the dip while in my roller skates, so next dip routine I’ll try a slower song.
The four steps in this routine are going to help you drill the muscles and poses needed to do dips on roller skates: bounce, lounges, lounge twists, and then the full dips. Here is a breakdown of the jam skate moves I’m doing in the video:
Bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce
Lounge right, left, right, left
Lounge twist right, left, right, left
Dip right, dip left
Some things to keep in mind:
1.) Take out your toe stops if you haven’t already. Keeping toe stops in your roller skates while jamming skating limits a your ability to move and for dips it definitely limits your range of motion.
2.) While bounding, keep your body loose.
3.) When lounging the foot straight behind you, touch your toe to the ground so you can get it in your muscle memory how far you are able to lounge until the toe touches the ground.
3.) As you lounge straight back, lean backwards. As you bring your back foot to center, lean forward. Don’t forget to add a bouncing motion to the back and forward lean.
4.) As you lounge twist, make a half circle motion with the moving foot. When dragging your foit back to the right, rotate your head and shoulder so you are looking behind you. Same thing for the left. Whatever the upper body does, the feet will follow so make sure to really move your shoulder and look behind you.
5.) While doing the twist lounges, go low enoigh in the lounge that your tow touches the ground again.
6.) When doing the dips, sont let tour toe touch the ground because it will i hi it the flow of movement. When you bring your right foot back to center, put your weight forward. As your left foot pulls back, keep your weight on the front outside edge of your right skate. Swing your body and look behind you. Once you bring you left foot back to center, put your weight forward. As your right foot pulls back, keep your weight on the front outside edge of you left skate. Keep up this pattern and you’ll being doing dips back to back 😁💥
