Inline Skating GREAT Is All About That Assessment

[@whittyskater]

I agree filming yourself is a great way to help you see what you are doing wrong. I think it can be especially helpful for those that don't have access to a skate instructor etc. However, don't be too critical on yourself. We do skating for fun after all and it doesn't matter if your technique isn't perfect.

I tip my hat to you Bill. Thanks for he tips! Since I’ve started pointing the camera at me self I’ve noticed many thing I could improve on. Defiantly room for improvement with sprints and staying low.

[@Snifffski]

You're so right. It's helpful, and uncomfortable, as hell.

[@bojyles]

Video assessment really helped me learn ski tricks.

[@BillStoppard]

So much to assess in skiing; nice move B!

[@Zer0IN28]

Simple, short, sweet. And to the a lot of quick understandable points. I Like this vid a lot for a lot of reasons! Thanks Bill! And a couple parallel stops that were god like like, made it that much better. But, still humble enough to throw in a fall lol!

Yeah.. I've a few too many crotch shots in my videos.. I always figure nobody wants to see my ugly mug, but I guess you're right, I should put that camera way out there. I do alternate by placing the camera somewhere on the pavement and skating around in front of it. Also yes, looking back over the footage is awesome for self assessment. It's funny, when I think I've done sometimes awesome and can't wait to upload the footage to my laptop for editing it tends to be mostly disappointing. When I just skate around for fun and without thinking about it too much, I get my best shots. Nice video!

Johro's Inline Skater Channel I was able to correct that issue with a longer selfie stick. 1.9meters

[@rachealbender4717]

Yeah this was really helpful for me because I was going to go out to film myself roller blading for my instagram.thanks👍

[@NEURALDELVER]

And hey, don't feel any pressure to post anything at first! I would recommend to begin using the footage for self-examination, then once you're a little more comfortable with the process, it will be easier to let your footage free! I'm still struggling with what bill was talking about when it came to making sure you're in the shot, carrying around a camera on a stick is not easy! What's your instagram handle, I'd like to see what you come up with!

Good vid, man.

[@avery4704]

Good idea adjusting your form watching yourself on film

[@kreaturaes8223]

Hey, thanks Bill! Super helpful 😊

[@lass4916]

A pity the video does not have subtitles in Portuguese. I'm really enjoying your channel.

[@luissantos8061]

Thank you that was very helpful.

[@type-zplays219]

Fuck yeah new BSS vid!!

Awesome and helpful!

[@michaelroy3685]

Just curious, what headphones do you use? I've thought about investing in some Bluetooth wireless headphones that look similar to yours. Also, will a bluetooth mic record voice on the Go Pros? Thank you! Keep up the awesome work! You look amazing! Maybe some day I can be ripped like you....

[@NEURALDELVER]

On my channel, you can see me falling on yesterday's skate session. I evaluated that I was trying to become a bird that can fly away from the pavement! I would have been better off if I stayed LOW!!!

[@brianpaulbutler1984]

I want to film myself so I can work on my technique...would you recommend using my phone at the end of a selfie stick or would you only recommend I get a gopro instead?

[@BillStoppard]

for rolling shots an action cam is necessary. A phone won't be a stablized or wide enough viwe to capture the whole skater. But the phone from a stationary position (or held by a friend) gets some nice shots, often with crisp slow mo, and a less 'bendy' picture style than with the super wide angle of action cams.

[@supermarkomarkomarko]

Bill, when do you review your moves, while making a pause during rides or when you arrive home?

[@billstoppard3801]

Always when I get home. Immediate feedback is nice but a little too fussy.

[@supermarkomarkomarko]

@@billstoppard3801 Thank You

[@john1120]

Skates and a sonic shirt!? No.. No.. No.. U need a Shadow the hedgehog shirt to tie this all together lol.

[@NikZvi]

Btw, posting on KZbin helps a lot also. I mean you can forgive tons of lame shootings to yourself, but then you shoot it for the audience it should be ideal... Or you can just initially say that you're a lame skater, as I do: D

[@NEURALDELVER]

Ah, still crusty quality as it processes, makes me feel special!

You know, some of us skate just for fun, not for ASSessment (be it by others or ourselves).

[@billstoppard3801]

Every sport is more fun when you are good at it.

[@clray123]

Is it? The striving for improvement/perfection makes you focus on your shortcomings all the time - which seems more like a recipe for work than fun. Of course, for some people work and competition are fun... while for others it's more fun to feel the wind and sun on their body while skating around lazily on a nice day.

[@rachealbender4717]

First! 😂
