[@AlisaSaliAlice]

You the best so far I have come along I actually did so well my first day I watched your videos go girl you're doing good job

[@shemarwilliams9878]

Speaking of giving up too early, my friend's first time skating he ran over a rat and fell on the concrete then sold his akates the same week he bought them. He said was a sign lol

[@PollySkates]

A rat!!?! 🙀

[@MyHam-os4bq]

I ran over a gecko on my first day (yesterday.) It was only his tail tho and he loved. Almost gave up for a second there lol

[@grahamduggan8476]

Definitely a message from the Gods

[@samirapoell4854]

I would like to thank you as a small child, I always did this. I am now 29 and I thought I would do it again, but I didn't understand what I was doing wrong, so I can do it every time in that split and not move forward, but because of your tips gives much better results in one go

[@PollySkates]

Wonderful!🥹🙏🎉💪🩵

[@Maddie.S.D.129]

I’m getting my roller blades today and I cannot wait! I’ve watched all of your videos so I’m ready 😂

[@PollySkates]

How fun!!! 🎉🎉🤙🧡🙏

[@hatikagura1325]

Another video ❤️ Your channel is the best & safest place for me to learn, yet I'm 33 and still can't do scissored pose correctly.

[@PollySkates]

🧡🧡 that makes me feel good! Just keep practicing! It’s all about your own personal journey and finding joy through skating. At least that’s what it is for me 🥹

[@HawaiianWerewolf]

I haven’t skated for many years and I used to play ice hockey. Had a bad accident and lost my confidence, so I am trying rollerblading, looked up tips on here and found you and you’re very informative 🤙🏽

[@soggy_doggy]

Hey Polly!! I'm 28 and i started skating in february 2023. I've come a long way but i still feel really paralized with fear sometimes, especially when doing aggressive/skatepark stuff (i cant bring myself to jump into a grind!!!). Do you have any tips for overcoming this fear? THANK YOU ♥

[@KaiyiLi767]

I have dealt with some of these skate problems thank you for making this informative video and correcting everyone

[@maryparson1224]

Thank you for these tips. Love your cute skirt/shorts.

[@PollySkates]

Thank you!! ☺️💖

[@vuvuong6394]

Thanks for your videos, I love skating and used to skate a lot when I was a kid. Now that I have a chance to pick up rollerblade again, I felt in love with it. However, the process is still kind of tedious since I want to get back to the level I played before. Your videos really helps me out to remember all the technique I had ❤

[@IWarriors]

Polly you are awesome! Thank you so much for these videos!

[@KellySimon]

These are very helpful! I picked up skating as a way to overcome fears and keep active - as an older, (initially) less fit skater, having these trouble points to watch out for is very helpful - otherwise I wouldn't know where to look when trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong. I impulsively grabbed skates that were on sale at my local Academy - and this video helped me figure out that I probably should have invested in a pair with a bit more support. Ah well - at least I'm upright and enjoying it. Thanks very much for these tips!

[@sharaiereyeswade]

this video is so helpful!! Im having trouble with stopping and pronating but you and other KZbinrs are so helpful!. Side note if u see this im wondering where you got your skort, it is sooo cute!

[@AyaEgbuho]

I am so glad I found you. Thanks for all your videos. ❤

[@TheUniversalDave1]

For years I've wanted to learn to skate. Last fall, I bought some cheap ones at a big box store and broke my wrist within 10 minutes. (Fell backwards and landed square on my dominant wrist.) I subsequently took them back and gave up. It's been a full year, and I really want to try again. I've been watching lots of your videos and I feel much more confident now, but I'm still terrified that I'm going to break something else. Plus everyone around me says it's a terrible idea. What should I do?

[@bm3209]

You should learn how to fall. This person also has a video solely on it. The techniques for falling means that you won’t put all your weight on one part of your body (aka your one wrist)

[@leda701]

Hello ! What skates are you using here?

[@PollySkates]

Rollerblade maxxum I painted yellow!

[@blitzdosister7484]

Hi coach Polly! For my b-day im getting inline skates so i watch ur videos so i know what to do!

[@PollySkates]

Happy birthday!!🎉🎊 💝 so cool!!

[@Luvthesun1111]

Can u assist me with what boots to buy? I am a a size 6 but bought kids soft skates and feel hard.. also it’s hard to tell which one is the right and left foot because both toes face opposite.

[@PollySkates]

Are you an adult or do you still have growing feet?

[@moonboxreview]

Best place for skate lovers 💕 ur skills

[@tobyberkovits7536]

Hi Polly I’m 43 and learning to skate. I love your tutorials. Do you ever visit Brooklyn ny so that I can take some personal lessons?

[@PollySkates]

Aw Tysm 🥹 it’s been a long time since I’ve been to Brooklyn, but I LOVE NEW YORK

[@warrenamulvey]

Your videos are so feel-good 🙃

[@Annabeth.XChase]

My friend is buying me roller skates for my bd and he’s gonna practice with me! I’ve spent the past day watching all of your videos 😅

[@vanessaa3100]

What are these skates I love how bright they are 😍

[@PollySkates]

I custom spray painted them yellow! They are rollerblade maxxum :)

[@markballard8606]

Thanks Polly. My Lightnings arrived today. At 52 I’m back on the road after 35 years and even with a hip replacement!

[@laouen]

Love your outfit ! ❤❤ Thanks for your advice ! Another mistake in my opinion is not wearing a helmet. We never know what can happen, it can be dangerous if you practice in the streets with cars around Helmets are cool, better than head/neck injuries ! 😄

[@PollySkates]

🧡🧡 YES! That’s a good one!

[@razm3610]

Thanks for your videos. I am learning inline skates for a couple of weeks now. I do not make any of the mistakes that you showed in this video. But, I think you forgot one common mistake: NOT LEARNING HOW TO STOP.......Skating is so much fun that I also do not put that much effort on learning to stop....

[@PollySkates]

How exciting!! And thanks for sharing!!! You’re so right!!! Stopping is so important!!!!! Next time I talk about mistakes I’ll be sure to add it 🫶🙏🙌

[@IceIceBaby24]

Which is better, rollerblading on the floor that is a little bit rough on its texture or a floor that as smooth like the one in our houses?

[@HajrahFaraz]

I can’t do the t stop because I keep spinning when I try it

[@FluffyAmyNL]

What helpt me was learning to stand on 1 leg wile rolling.

[@DanielleOclock]

You are adorable!! Thank you so much!

[@PollySkates]

You are so welcome!☺️🙏🫶🤙🎉

[@ChesterAlson]

Can you help me if why is my ankles keep bending and everytime I'm rollerblading my ankles is always bending

[@aisha_cookie217]

she said in the video because it’s too floppy make sure your rollerblades are tight and stiff

[@waikinchiu2520]

I am fascinated by this movement, but yesterday practiced Soul Slide, Power Stop, Power Slide, I often turned too much

[@Venice9999]

Wow cool i already know

[@MyHam-os4bq]

I’m going to watch this video every day until I fix all my beginner mistakes

[@PollySkates]
