Roller Skating C Turn - Roller Skating Transition Forwards to Backwards and Backwards To Forwards.

[@Harleywayne]

Hey Coach! Hope your park skating is going well. Derby is taking up a ton of my time and I love it! I finally found my skate family.

[@Skatie]

I have a huge respect for derby skaters. My park skating has slowed a little as I hurt my ankle (not skating) so I’ve been skating less to let it rest. But I hope to get back to it soon. It’s great fun. I’m so glad you’re enjoying your skating.

[@Skatie]

Thank you. Have fun x 🛼⭐️💕

I'm your dumbest follower - I'm sure. I love your videos, your subtle sense of humour, your clever and light-footed way of presenting knowledge, I understand every single move you teach, but as soon as I'm in my skates my brain goes blank. (I still protect this empty brain with a helmet in an exemplary way😅) 😆 Grapevine or crab, it doesn't matter!...as soon as I want to move a foot, I don't know anything anymore! 🤔 Am I an isolated case, or is there reason for hope? I won't give up even if you answer that these cases are hopeless... I'm ready for the brutal truth😄😂

[@kjones2008]

I have found that if I make notes for myself, I can take those to the rink and “try” to recreate them. Some attempts are better than others! I think putting those notes in very our own terminology helps with learning the steps.

[@Skatie]

I feel this, sometimes I’m sure there’s a malfunction between my brain and feet. I’m regularly watching my phone / tv at the same time as practicing in the lounge! 😂

[@sunnyseecamp8640]

@@kjones2008 to be honest - i had already tried this and was extremely confused while I read my note because I was supposed to have at least 3 to 5 feet... ... ok, almost. 😆 But yes, I quit this way maybe to early. 🤔Thank you for reminding and for encouraging me! ✌😄

You are reading my mind. Turning from forwards to backwards and back again is my obsession 🤪🕺🛼I am determined to be able to do it smoothly and this video is a big help.❤

Love this training video! Thank you for the awesome training video!

[@Skatie]

Hope you enjoy trying them out 🛼💕⭐️

[@janestreeter8833]

Another great video! Do you have a drill which runs through each of these continuously? (or am I just being lazy not coming up with one myself?😅)

[@Skatie]

That’s a great idea for another video! Thank you 🛼⭐️⭐️

[@susannicolari7335]

It’s still a Mohawk in figure skating and the foot placed behind is a Choctaw one is a C one is an S turn

[@Skatie]

I have a video on the s turn on the way. The c turn is on the same edges and the s turn changes edge as you turn. They are both either open or closed - Foot behind or instep. So many turning options, phew. 😂

[@susannicolari7335]

@@Skatie I definitely will look for that ,it sounds like it is the same .We just call it a Choctaw ,from Ice Dancing .I am wondering how you spin in roller skates !

[@rachelgeorge2098]

Those terms have been changed because some find them offensive. So Skatie brings the kindness and goes with the descriptive alphabet terms!

[@kenm34]

Hey are you ever gonna make a tutorial on turning continuously while still traveling forward ? P.S. your channel is the best Katie !

[@Skatie]

That sounds interesting. Can you explain it slightly more. Do you mean turning forwards to backwards then backwards to forwards whilst travelling forward? I have a version of this in the manuals drills video. I’ll link it. Let me know if this is what you mean.

[@kenm34]

this person is doing it a bunch in the first 25 seconds of this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/eYPdopdneMd-mas

[@rachelgeorge2098]

I’ve been working on this, but from your videos it’s hard to tell when to put my free leg in front and when to put it in back. I thought free legs go behind for forward skating, in front for backwards?

[@Skatie]

You’re correct. That is usually the rule but for some of these turns it will differ as the leg will swing before the turn so it’s in the correct place for afterwards. Make sure to watch each example for leg placement. Some of these are really tricky.

[@rachelgeorge2098]

Thank you@@Skatie ! I love your videos and will keep practicing 🙂

[@Ivygirasole]

Finalmente uno slow motion, grazie

[@Skatie]

Have fun skating 🛼⭐️⭐️💕

[@justpanda7478]

I have lots to practice with you!

[@Skatie]

💯 See you Saturday!

[@Kornkitt3n]

love this!!! would be interested in seeing some backward outside edge drills, as its something i never know how to start!

[@Skatie]

That’s a fantastic idea. I’ll add that to the list of videos. Thank you

[@ping3592]

Halfway Katie's backwards drills tutorial she shows you how to practise this. I'm working on it currently 😅. But great question, I need more ways to practise outside edge drills.. 🙈

[@Mel-qr5ob]

What makes a C turn a C turn? Whys it got a special name when its just a bunch of basic variations on a transition?

[@Skatie]

It’s just the technical name for that group of transitions that make a C shape on the floor. Lots of skaters call them lots of different names. It’s exhausting how many names some of the moves have! 😜

[@hollywood5703]

You’re assuming everyone can do 2nd and 5th position ballet on skates.

[@Skatie]

The awkward, and then, the even more awkward positions. 😂. Unfortunately the turn is executed in these definitely uncomfortable and tricky positions. It is possible to place the feet wider if needed but thankfully there are also lots of other options for turning that are more comfortable. I have a couple of videos on transitions showing the other options.

It is to many Indigenous Americans

[@jessgirr1728]

@@NevaScaredHo Anyone offended is taking life wayyy too seriously. 🤷‍♀️ I think it's cool that a different culture made an impact on skating and terms used.

[@NevaScaredHo]

@@jessgirr1728 you don't get to tell another race and culture what's offensive to them nor do they care about what you think

[@jessgirr1728]

@@NevaScaredHo I do get to say my opinion actually. And anyone who disagrees is free to do so. I am descended from the indigenous Sami people of Norway. Their language and customs were all stamped out for the most part. If there was a nod to Sami culture anywhere I would think it was awesome. Have a good day :)
