[@JRich165]

@@israel_drea1938 isn’t it one of the most invigorating things you ever thought you could do! I’m happy you’ve broken into the “Life” lol

[@PinayNomad]

Thank you for the cool moves! 👩🏻‍🦽will try on my wheel chair. 🤩

[@3018Verena]

no jokes yours are the best skate tutorials on the web! smh why it's so underrated thank u, you're a brilliant teacher and it's super much fun to tune in and learn!

[@sonofthesea]

Sweet, thanks for sharing! I'm 51 and learning :)

[@TheBrizzle]

You are an amazing teacher. Thank you for this very awesome tutorial!

[@ericaparker8636]

You're so thorough in your explanations! This would be so much easier if I wasn't pigeon-toed, but I'll keep trying!

[@TheChefSteph]

This is what I'm working on now. I just can't seem to make a smooth transition from forward to backwards and then keep going.

[@RoCsWorld]

The Delightful Diva this video should definitely assist with that... if not then I will have to put up another tutorial on how to keep going. just let me know

[@LGFITNESS1]

The Delightful Diva Don’t worry! I remember how rough (and how awkward it must’ve looked!) when I first learned how to turn around and go backwards. I learned to skate as an adult...it took a lot of practice but eventually, my muscles “realized” there were wheels under my feet and in time, balancing on it became easier. After a 10 year break off my feet (due major surgeries) and aging, I can definitely tell the difference in my skating skills and balance loss has much to do with it. However, I’m finding that as I keep at it (It’s been about 6 Skating sessions since I began skating again), I’m regaining balance. I’m also finding that movement techniques I learned over 20 years ago are all “coming back” to me. Keep up the good work and don’t give up. It takes a while for our muscles to start relaxing as we’re learning to balance on wheels. Roc seems like a very caring person and he’s definitely a great instructor so I’d take him up on his offer if I were you!!! Best wishes!!!!

Yes u can hunnn u can do it I believe in u

[@amyfoster6047]

Dude. Me neither. It's pissin' me off.

[@ertfgghhhh]

2:08 Lead with one foot and the other foot will follow Three steps: 1. Full skate step 2. Go bowlegged-front wheels 3. Rotate heels foot that led

[@tawandasells4309]

Yessss....I got it! Best tutorial!!!

[@IlyanaPicans]

You're such a great teacher! I wish there were more!

[@Ssmmmm80]

It seems dangerous to leave the top of the skates untied and loose...why is this done?

[@MrGirodog]

What’s a flash was to transition from forward to back ?

[@clarissaglover8568]

Amazing

[@JERRYR708]

Great lesson. I like your style.

[@HassanLyonn]

Omg!! Thank you for actually teaching

[@caseyjl949]

1:41 made me smile

[@absmustang]

"Do what ever you need to do..." I'll be playing that on my head next time I skate funny!

[@ertfgghhhh]

Best teacher hands down. Imma sub pronto

[@Ssmmmm80]

Oh and what do the small wheels do

[@shagabear2077]

Does this require a amount of flexibility because my leg doesn’t naturally follow my lead foot and bowleg

[@elvenlogic]

Any advice for getting back around? I can finally get from forwards to backwards, but now I'm having a hard time getting from backwards to forwards without fully stopping and doing an awkward little shuffle

[@CxrtifiedRigga]

elvenlogic same I’ve been doing a little jump to keep moving but it just doesn’t look as smooth

[@veronica7751]

Where did you get your wheels or what kind are they i want some

[@carislocs]

I'm sure you may have other videos planned for this week but somewhere down the line can you do a video on how to spin on the front two wheels and then the back. Also, some formations like how JB skaters do in the center of the circle? I am an intermediate, I've been getting little lessons at the Rink in Chicago but not lately tho. I've been watching your videos and you're COLD.

[@RoCsWorld]

CarisLocs that is the plan for this week! Tomorrow I will have the basic spins video posted so awesome request & I'm sure it'll be a big help

[@RoCsWorld]

lol and thank you! I appreciate the compliment, it's nice to know that these videos are helping

[@absmustang]

Hey new sub here. I thought of tying up my boots just like that! Do they feel loose on your feet?

[@kyrasloane4847]

I needed this

[@Eventsandthings]

The second way was how I learnt and it has helped me to be flexible in different styles of going backwards. I find doing the figure 8 backwards can limit a persons progression. Just my thoughts and observations. would be interesting to see what others think!

[@MindfullMagnolia]

🔥🔥 tutorial

[@LGFITNESS1]

Sometimes my skates don’t want to keep the relationship...it gets so ugly one wants to file divorce against the other and vice versa...that’s when I find myself in the middle of it and fall. LOL 😂...it doesn’t happen very often (not to brag!) but I keep thinking “you guys can fight as much as you want but divorce is never optional...” 😂 Keep the relationship SKATES!!! 😂

[@keystv2453]

[@RoCsWorld]

Lucia Gunn lol too funny! That's that good marriage! 😂

[@absmustang]

Ya but don't let them get too kissy-kissy with each other either. That's just as bad. 😗+😙=🤕

[@Ssmmmm80]

I've been in my toxic abusive skate relationship for 4 months now. Broken fractured fingers, rotator cuff dislocation and tear, wrist jam still..i just cant leave...I always go back

[@instagamrr]

Haha you are great, this was funny 😆

[@GiseliBorges]

Explicação perfeita👏

[@PRRazcle]

"Keeping That Relationship.. Keep your wheels on the ground while you doing it" Dont think i ever did it with wheels on my feet on the ground before.. Interesting got to try that move :)

[@anjelaanjel7933]

I cant. Wait to get my. 1st. Pair. Of. Skates

[@vidmaster011]

With that toe move to backward skate, I’m so concerned about messing up my wheels cause I’m a heavy dude. Wtf idk

[@롤라이더_쏭이]

[@edengarden6811]

The only thing i can think about, are you comfy in those skates like that? Hahaha thanks for the video

[@TuffEsox]

Weird how you never mention the hips. Not once. Everything is about the hips. brother. The wheels follow.

[@rojo843]

I see what you're saying..I've always had a dyslexia about that.. Most men and women do, just ashamed to admit it

[@jeffgoggin1394]

Sick! How do I turn back around!? 😂 Jk

[@Gymbuck]

[@stevenadams4429]
