This is an amazing video! I remember watching this a few months ago before I could even skate backwards and now this is EXACTLY the move I've been trying to do to turn from back to front smoothly. Your video explains it so well! For me I wasn't having the weight on the pivot foot at the start. Thanks for teaching the way!

[@DupageDragonsFan94]

Thanks for the tutorials, Sk8Fam! For this smooth back to front move, I have a few questions: 1) How important is knee flexibility? I'm not sure I can bend my knees inward as much as you can. 2) Is it true that doing this move on a smooth wood surface is a completely different ballgame? 3) Can this move be done going relatively fast as well? I think I see a lot of JB skaters throw this in with fast footwork. You are about the only one I could find that's done a tutorial on this move. God bless!

[@Sk8Fam]

knee flexibility is very important. if you are stiff this move is more difficult. def a dif ball game on a wood surface. there is more slide indoor vs out door so it is smoother, faster, and less taxing on the legs for sure. yes lots of ppl do this move fast, and tie it into multiple spins/turns, including jb skaters. once u get used to it u can speed it up as much as you can handle.

[@DupageDragonsFan94]

no problem! glad I could help!

[@reason1er]

God bless you bro! I’ve been looking like crazy for a video like this! Can you show some more vid on the toe transitions and smooth footwork?

[@RollsRight8]

This smooth 180 is the point from Grapevine. There are some slight differences namely pushing one heel out to the side in the beginning. It's necessary when skating at speed. Grapevine can be forced (I certainly force my own) but this 180 needs to be executed cleanly [or you'll be paying some floor tax].

[@joshuafigueroa1070]

Best tutorial out there for this move. I just started skating 3 months ago off Nd on but I'm able to skate backwards on my toes Nd Ive been wanting to learn this to transition out of the nose to add combos and get better at moving thru traffic this shit helped me learn it in 5 mins inside my living room appreciate the hell outta you man. I got a question tho what is it that you do to make your skates look that way without them feeling too lose or is that something u learn to skate with when I try to fold my tounge down and skate on my toes my heel will come out and then slap back to position Is there a way to tie my laces under the tounge or what ?

[@Sk8Fam]

My spray painted skates I keep that loose so I can do tricks where I take my foot out and put it back on. Having them loose your heel def can come out of them easy lol no way to avoid it. U get used to it and learn what tricks u can and can’t do. It’s a trade off for sure. But it also depends on the skate. Those skates I have on have thick padding and I skate in thick socks so it grips a little. If i wore my other skates like this they would fall off every 2 seconds lol

[@jacqueline9483]

Love your tutorials man thanks for sharing! I'm a while off from balancing on both feet 2 wheels confidently. I can do it, but barely, with very little control.. is it just a practice thing or do you know any prep exercises I can do?

[@Sk8Fam]

its a practice thing for sure. the more u practice u will strengthen the stabilizer muscles

[@derrickrose7763]

Awesome video..it improved my skate gone for realz! I had many people that been skating for year giving me props an asking how to do it. I shared tour video with every one here in pasadena. Can you make a video one 360 smooth transitions and a basic routine? Thanks from pasadena California

[@Sk8Fam]

much love for viewing and sharing! and on the next tutorial I post just remind me on there. cuz I will forget in a heartbeat lol.

[@robinpiller2]

Thank you for explaining the steps so briefly. I want to start skating again after about 25 years and always had issues with turning. I also could not turn the other way. Do you have outdoor wheels on for skating on the tennis courts? Any other surface you can recommend to practice on with indoor wheels?

[@Sk8Fam]

when I hit the tennis courts I use outdoor wheels usually. most of my friends don't tho. with indoor wheels ay type of outdoor surface can chip your wheels, so I wouldn't recommend it lol. but I skate in my basement or kitchen with my indoor wheels sometimes

[@robinpiller2]

@@Sk8Fam, thanks for such a prompt reply and for reminding me that there is a reason there are indoor wheels! I hope to get my wheels, bearings, and bushings replaced before I can attempt anything. Maybe I'll keep my old Americam Dream indoor wheels for practice on a tennis court! Would love to attend one of the out of town rink events sometime. I appreciate you taking the time to answer my questions!

[@Sk8Fam]

@@robinpiller2 I def have an old set of indoor wheels that I use outside sometime. so thats a good idea. if the tennis court is in good condition and not a lot of rocks then its a decent roll. and yes please do visit an event! its so much fun and positive energy in the building!

Wassup bro. When I complete the move I always come to a stop. I can never keep the motion goin any further advice?

[@blackbeltpattymelt5525]

I have 57mm 96a wheels

[@Sk8Fam]

when u come out of the move, the foot u are using to pivot, drag it forward. also there is some drop off in speed when turning around. so if u are moving slow going backwards, u will barely move if at all when u turn around. so get more comfortable skating faster when going backwards

[@blackbeltpattymelt5525]

@@Sk8Fam I appreciate it!

[@jenniferb9506]

Taking the skate off while I'm skating! That's my worst fear! Lol! Why?! When I see people taking their skates off in the rink it makes me nervous like it's gonna happen to me, but I lace my sk8s so tight that'll never happen. I did drop my toe stop outdoor skating yesterday, that was exciting.
