LEARN HOW TO DOWNTOWN | For Beginner Skaters

[@VictoriaTunggonoChannel]

Thank you for breaking down step by step. It's much easier for me to follow (been trying this drill for 2 years and still the hardest for me) 🙌🏼

[@MeowPictures]

OMG, I've watched so many videos of this skill from several different KZbin channels and seeing your video it finally made sense. Thanks so much!

[@rebeccapedersen1126]

Finally… able to do the downtown and it looks smooth! Thank you!

[@derickwaller6361]

Great skater .. I was wondering .. when you do your tutorials can you film a portion from behind .. if us, as viewers could follow you from watching your back ..it’ll be so much easier to learn .. than watching your front as in THIS type of video ! If NOT .. your videos are great .. keep assisting !

[@DiamondWalker]

Sure, that’s a good idea! I’ll add a back perspective

[@nicoleiovine6536]

I’m honestly surprised there aren’t more POV tutorials in general

[@wavyks2159]

@@DiamondWalkerplease that would be great

[@ra-moonluis]

Thanks so much Diamond Walker for your advise!!!

[@jarinasoto9657]

Your videos are the best. The way you break it down helped me get moves so much quicker. Thank you 😊

[@sandrawillsie9510]

This is an amazing tutorial!! You’re awesome at teaching!!! Thank you!!!

[@shawnacarter4032]

Thank you for the help. Wish you were here in California

[@DennisYeadon]

Thank you. When I realized you were crossing the back foot over the front it all made sense.

[@CSB458]

This was very helpful! Learned in just a couple of hours. Thank you!

[@djk100uk]

Nicely done.

[@dawndemore196]

Thank you! You helped so much!❤🛼

[@DiamondWalker]

Glad it helped!

[@verybadmobilevideos8660]

I am digging these breakdowns- thank you so much

[@betsyashbrook]

Watched this a bunch. I see a lot of 4 and 5 minute tutorials and I really appreciate this longer breakdown. This man is goals. 🛼🥇

[@Karolsstudio]

The reason why I started roller skates… downtown!!! Thank you for this video… I’ll try to learn it, now that I’m more confident on wearing them.

[@JPL134]

My suggestion is that you should move first. This video is about the downtown. I don’t know what the downtown is and if I want to learn it and I get impatient and I bounce. I really appreciate your style and tutorials and I hope my suggestion helps you grow

[@groc2207]

AND ROCK AND ROCK AND ROCK ! aunt VIV on fresh prince dance scene dejavu lol😂😂😂

[@NevaScaredHo]

[@tyronejackson9556]

[@jobohm5206]

Hey Diamond, you are the best 👍!!!

[@DennisYeadon]

I really like this tutorial many thanks

[@arose1111]

I just subscribed your channel! I rollerbladed years ago, I ice skated when I was little growing up in NYC but roller skating, I don’t remember!LOL,😅🙌. I am looking at your videos before I go out there and hoping I don’t fall down while I am holding on! LOL! I am definitely learning from your videos!🙏💯🤞😊. Thank you! I will definitely be watching them before I go out to roller rink and look like a fool! LOL😊😅🤞

[@martinbrannan2803]

It's been interesting but had enough of skating now, Not the journey I expected. Thanks for the videos.

[@nicholasworrell9927]

Hi, where did you get the Del la Roll t-shirt from…. Love your moves… learnt so much from watching your videos. 🙌

[@NevaScaredHo]

Please make a video on the step back variation. Back step going forward back step going backwards etc

[@nicoleiovine6536]

This is great!!

[@mathiiewskyful]

Thank you so much for your videos bro 🙏🔥🔥

[@DiamondWalker]

Glad you like them 🙏🏽

[@vass169]

Hello, nice video, yes, commenter was right, some of us do not have rhythm but still try. Any ideas on places to practice before going to a rink? Not in Tampa. Are you in a parking deck in this video? I second the suggestion of showing moves from behind, not facing camera so that we do not have to think about opposite/mirror view :)

[@maelmusiq810]

I was just repeating what the Diamond walker said cause it caught me off guard and it was funny the way he kinda reluctantly said it keep the faith I'm not a good skater but I challenge myself that's the key just get to it

[@DiamondWalker]

Yes! any local tennis court or basketball court. Even if you have or know someone with a garage. You don't need a ton of space to practice just make sure the surface is even. And I need to do a better job of the behind angle lol I tend to forget to shoot that part.

[@WeSk8TV]

Great skater. I'm trying to determine if i have seen you at any national skate jam events.?🤔🤔😁

[@jfesili]

Shakeage 😎💪

[@Murphy.Outdoors]

What skates do you recommend for these kind of moves that you're teaching?

[@KevJaz]

Another great tuturiol! We liked the additional quarter turn you added as well. What kind of wheels are you running?

[@DiamondWalker]

Thank you! I’m on Sure-Grip velvet wheels. They’re strictly for indoor skating, I’m just too lazy to change them

[@jettamax]

Nice!!! Also any updates on your skates. It’s been a minute wondering how far along are you?

[@DiamondWalker]

Yeah it’s taking longer than I expected lol Its all good I still plan on coming out with them just not the timeline I planned for

[@danielledrake1590]

What kind of skates are these black ones you are wearing?

[@craigsquires6772]

What wheels are you rolling on my guy?

[@laotianpotent2537]

I think the word you were looking for was Inertia. Great videos!

[@malindabarron8165]

I've been getting into my skating ao much more since they shut down our roller rink. Please let me know if you want to do a video together ❤

[@henryjones542]

I have wider wheels, do I need to switch over to wheels like yours?

[@DiamondWalker]

No you're wider wheels should work fine for this kind of footwork

[@jamesisbrandt]

Your reverb should be called a windup.

[@magvan7874]

I appreciate your tutorials, but you really need to either turn around, or refer to the right as the left, etc etc Otherwise, it's confusing.

[@maelmusiq810]

IMA JUST BE HONEST alot of yaw don't have rhythm LOL

[@melb465]

Don't laugh at us!! 🤣🤣

[@settlersquatter3723]

Lol, I was in a skate class today, and I've never felt whiter. Facts: the 3 women of colour in the class were simply better than the rest. The wall of mirrors doesn't lie. I am 100% less cool looking when I skate. Before today, I actually thought I had rhythm. I rhythm skated growing up ffs. 😂

[@ronmehrdad4267]

I agree with others. Too much talking vs demonstration. Thx.

[@elihernandez88]

Way too much talking!!! please demonstrate a lot more.

[@jfesili]

I disagree. He is very informative. Best for those who need words with the action. Descriptive.

[@xitcix8360]

​@jfesili Not even, he just talks super slow and doesn't get to the point.

[@vladarino]

Get a better microphone

[@blackdiamond6121]

I’m just now getting back to learning how to to skate I’m do this when I get too the skating ring I live in Vegas Floyd Mayweather own’s a king 😂
