I just joined your tutorial. I'm not on skates but can't believe how much I have learned from just watching 3 of these.. Now I cant wait to get my skates out, do a little maintenance on them and start from the beginning tutorial on my skates. (If they still fit me)! I have a pair of Riddell skates with precision bearings I remember saving up to buy. I bought them back in 1984 lol. Yes! Now I'm a senior citizen. I have always had a goal to learn how to skate backwards sometime in my lifetime. I could never afford lessons before, back when I was a young kid, but now with the internet I am going to make my dream come true. Thank you, you're a wonderful teacher.

[@mackmack9421]

I haven’t skated in 32 years and I’m glad I found your channel. It’s all coming back to me.

[@charlotteisland5950]

Same for me it’s been almost twenty years for me

[@jeninenicolemagtalas2627]

I have watched so many videos of how to strut walk, but now, in just a few minutes, I've learned to do it because of this video. 😭😭 I'm so happy right now. Thank you so much 😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@ajamullins]

Thank you so much. Been working on this all week and I finally got it.

[@saperboy]

I’m a beginner and I really appreciate this. I would surely follow this series, thanks.

[@DiamondWalker]

I've got more coming soon, so be on the lookout!

[@peekab002]

I'm so glad I found you on IG. This is the first crossover tutorial I've seen that breaks up the steps like this. My feet turn outward so it's been a little challenging trying to learn the moves and straighten my feet while rolling 😳. I'm going to try this on carpet today!

[@LEEWEE3333]

My feet turn in so I have challenges too...lolol

[@jusbeme4me]

You are a great teacher. I am skating again after 32 years. Learning to balance again is key. Thanks for the videos.

[@CreekCat1]

I love the way you teach and break it down. This is my level and what I'm practicing on this week. Love it! Thank you

[@MarieDeveauxwedderburn]

OMG. This video was so helpful. I saw another video of someone doing the downtown and hopped up to try it and it was a mess. So glad to have found you and these breakdowns of all these moves. You are a great teacher!

[@brynnlackey9559]

Thanks for the great videos! I appreciate them so much. The only thing I’d love to see is what each skill looks like at the beginning of the video so I can figure out if it’s too advanced before watching the whole video. I’m not up on all the names of the different moves yet lol

[@aundrahanson1186]

YOU ARE IN TAMPA! (I’m over in St Pete) ❤❤❤

[@BeachgirlKarli]

Don't have my skates yet, but I'm learning the moves anyway. ☺️💓🎶💃🎶🕺

[@kayhlajones2327]

I’ve been watching your videos for a year. Never knew you were here in Tampa 😂

[@marinazheleva5699]

love your work - these videos are amazing! do you have to take your toe stop off to practice this?

[@Alisa-utube]

Thanks for your videos! It would be even better if with each step you describe where the body's center of gravity should be and where the weight should be shifted on your foot/feet.

[@brettmezen900]

Uncle Diamond 😅

[@kylestaker9279]

What are good skates to practice jam skating outside? I haven’t been on skates since the early 90s as a teen and would love to get back into it.

[@ROBOKAT1111]

Thank you! What rating of wheels are you using in this video? Outdoor soft or indoor high speed?

[@TheoSuperHero]

👍🏾

[@regina6827]

Also, what brand and model name/number of roller skates do you recommend--for your style of roller skating? Thank you.🌻

[@BrandonJamol]

Damn you in the Tampa area that’s what’s up.. def gotta come out but 1 hour? Is that long enough to learn ?

[@anitaosorioa]

What type of wheel should I use for this? I feel the ones I have are heavy and bigger than the ones you have

[@durellwhite2309]

Do you teach JB Skating? U r a roller skating genius and I love all of your videos. But there’s no JB skating tutorials.

[@RoboCpo3]

I am not a beginner bit a solid Intermediate skater (thank to you). I want to inquire about the barrel roll move to improve my Jam skating. I am Hez but would you do a video showing how to do the barrel roll from going backwards

[@DiamondWalker]

Sure, I’ll do a tutorial on the barrel roll eventually. I have to get some of these beginner vids out the way first. But I got you

[@NailsbyZylah]

Hello Im begginer just wanting to smooth skate you know sexy skate not do to much but skate backwards glide n dance smooth .Can I get skates that go over my ankle for that? Please help.Love ur videos

[@MasterZhao]

WHat kind of skates are best for this. If anybody has some insight please share.

[@cyndyecharrell2654]

Which skates do you recommend?

[@LEEWEE3333]

Where can I get those skates?

[@2ndAveScents]

Hey bro what boot is that?

[@tracyheath6076]

Is it just me, or do you have small wheels on your skates? The size of the wheels can change the play of the game...can make the moves harder or easier. 😊

[@ms.b.5094]

My goal is to Strut in confidence. This is my goto video for strut. Im struggling. Can anyone tell me why my lower back starts to hurt went I do these?

[@artyztrirosebur1618]

What about if the person uses the left leg more so the right leg . What is the name of the skates

[@skatergirl9559]

could you make jb skating tutorials?

[@DiamondWalker]

Well I don’t consider myself a JB skater and I don’t know all their techniques

[@regina6827]

Hello. What is your Skate Setup? Thanks

[@lacyladi9951]

Those look like his diamond skates with sure grip velvet wheels, can't really tell what plate he has tho. Hope that helps a lil bit.

[@blewprent]

Does anyone jam skate on inline rollerblades!??

[@reginadeclaro8156]

[@DENNIHDX]

in Italy there is really no roller dance culture..there are no roller dance discos..there are no roller dance skaters. it's a real crap!!! there is only figure skating..so sad.i feel alone and discouraged..i can only watch it on youtube, instagram and try it in my salon...😏😭
