Roller Skating Drills for Beginners, Great for Small Spaces

In this video I am sharing my current Go To Drills that I have been working on in my small indoor space. I personally am always looking for new things to learn and drill as well as variations of those moves. I thought it might be helpful if I shared what I am currently doing and my take on how to do them. Please let me know if you have any questions. See you all again soon!

Thank you for making this video. Sad to say, as a person who learned to forward skate as a kid, I never learned how to backward skate except a little bit on my own at the rink. I appreciate these exercises you do in this video. I will try them when I go back to the rink. The other trouble I believe I have maybe also because I have speed skates-which I love, but they do not have a heel on them. Wondering if this is adding to my loss of control when I attempt to backward skate. Thanks again!

I have knee, wrist, and elbow pads, but my biggest fear is to fall on my butt or one of my hips and breaking one. A sprained wrist or bloody knee heals quickly, but hurting a hip can have serious repercussions. Any tips on that? BTW I found your other videos, you're really great.

There are hip and butt padded shorts that a lot of people use like these rstyle.me/cz-n/fgff3sdcjax that you could check out. I think they are well worth it. And the falling one is tough. It is so important to learn this but I don’t want to give out the wrong information. I learned how to fall so young that I don’t really remember it, but fortunately my body does.

I have a question! Does truck tightness affect your ability to do bubbles? Sorry if this is a dumb question. Total and complete noob here. But subbed! I love your explanation of things!

[@Tani.Coy.RollerMama]

Thank you for subbing! Not a dumb question at all. Actually a really good one. Yes, when they are loosened it can help with turning. But the more tight they are the more stable. So you can start gradually loosening until you find that sweet spot that works for you. And over time adjust to fit your advancements. Also bubbles has a lot to do with muscle activation and mind muscle connection. They can be really tricky at first and that is totally normal. 💜🦋

Which wheels do you use for slippery tiles? I have Moxi Skates Rainbow Riders stock wheels. I notice that it's very slippery on tiles and even on concrete road. I'm currently practicing on rubberized jogging track and it's pretty much working

[@Tani.Coy.RollerMama]

Radar came out with some new outdoor dance wheels that have good grip called “Crush” (small wheels!), they would be good as long as you are on smooth surfaces. I also like Radar Energy 57’s but they don’t have as much grip.

[@alquarius86]

well, that's better than actual highheels.

[@Tani.Coy.RollerMama]

Lol! 💜

[@vaniabrasseleur6154]

Do you need to loosen the anything before doing any of these skills I just got skates today

[@Tani.Coy.RollerMama]

Congratulations! That’s so exciting. I would check your wheels. Make sure they spin. And then if you have never been on skates start out very slow and work on the ability to just stand upright. Keep knees bent and wear protective gear and helmet. 💓🦋

[@useralstokes_]

How do your skates not make any noise when turning? I think I’m doing something wrong, I practice on my driveway with gummy outdoor wheels so that must be why. Anything I can do to prevent the annoying sound?

[@Tani.Coy.RollerMama]

Wheels absolutely make a difference! But mine do still make noise. Overtime you get better at moving them with less drag but for me it isn’t completely avoidable. At least not yet anyway. Lol! 💜

[@tbakes1371]

Can you do this with toe stoppers?

[@Tani.Coy.RollerMama]

It does depend on the size of your toe stopper for some of the moves. I found mine got in the way but when you are beginning a toe stopper is helpful. 💜

[@senoragarabato]

What is durometer of your wheels?

[@OniAde13]

Do you have on knee pads?. If so what brand?

[@Tani.Coy.RollerMama]

I do not in this video but I have a set of Smith Scabs that I did a little review on. I will wear protective gear when I know I am trying something new or out of my comfort zone. 💜🦋 kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y2XLZaWNa9V6pMU

[@charlinails1967]

I just got skates for the first time and when I try turning, leaning or the sticky skate I can’t do it, my skates only want to go straight. I can only turn if I lift them off the ground otherwise they feel kinda sticky and like grinds on the floor. It’s so frustrating.

[@rani.amberr]

hey! have you tried loosening your trucks just a tad bit? that should solve your issue! usually when you put on your skates fresh out of the box, they are like “factory” tight lol. loosening the trucks just a teeny bit so the truck/wheel bearing wiggles just the smallest amount should do the trick. hope this helps! :)

[@Tani.Coy.RollerMama]

Loosening trucks and your wheels can help a ton. New skates usually need a little adjusting at first. It can also depend on what type of skates you have. 💜

I live in an apartment. Can I practice on carpeting?

[@Tani.Coy.RollerMama]

There are some things you can practice on carpet. Getting used to being in skates and higher up is helpful. Depending on how thick your carpet is though your wheels will have trouble rolling. 💜

[@y_0886]

Do you keep your trucks loose or tight? Can you say if this make a difference ?

[@Tani.Coy.RollerMama]

I have personally loosened my trucks to what’s comfortable for me and it can definitely make a difference! It takes a little bit of trial and error to find that sweet spot but you can just loosen them a little bit at a time until it feels good and always retighten if you don’t feel secure or too wobbly. 💜

Do you have any more drills I could practice???

I’m actually going to be uploading more drills soon! Until then I have a LOT on my Instagram instagram.com/tani.coy.rollermama/ 💓🦋

Are your trucks loosened?

[@Tani.Coy.RollerMama]

Yes they are. But I have no idea to what degree. Lol! 💜

[@BronzeBellaBria]

Wait did the wheels switch mid-video haha

[@Tani.Coy.RollerMama]

Lolol! Probably. I have to go back and watch but I did switch my wheels recently and sounds like something I would do.

[@biff5856]

Ex-figure skater switching. I'm having a really difficult time. I realize having figure skated is not helping me at all. I can't do the simplest thing like moving. I can't get the hang of pushing off. My foot just rolls under me, not to the side. I've adjusted the trucks to see if I could slalom to get momentum. No luck, maybe loosen them another notch. Geez, ice skating is a snap compared to this. I'm amazed at the artistic videos of competitive skaters. It's so much more difficult on quads.

[@Tani.Coy.RollerMama]

I grew up competitively figure skating on ice and I know what you mean. I find some experience helps and some things have to be relearned. It’s possible your wheels are not giving you enough grip and that can really make a difference. 💜

[@biff5856]

@@Tani.Coy.RollerMama I don't know a thing about wheels, except to tighten or loosen. They came with the Riedells. They were a mistake. I should have bought Edea's instead except I thought leather would be best. I've had trouble with Riedell in the past. I'll try bubbles to see if I can get rolling. I'll loosen the trucks again. The wheels are 60.325mm (2 3/8") diameter. Hardness? I requested an indoor wheel.

[@rr_main2685]

Can i do this in rollerblades instead?

[@Tani.Coy.RollerMama]

Some of the moves might be a bit tricky but you could always make your own personal drills that work based off of these. I never did much fancy stuff on roller blades. I just went fast and rode them for exercise. Lol! 💜

I have to say I’m really sad cause I’m almost 28 and never skated before, Im in a very small space and every time I try to learn I’m almost falling backwards into a sharp edge 😂

You are not alone! So many of us are starting later in our lives. Please be careful and a helmet and protective gear is a great idea. I hope you can get to a bigger space soon. 💜🦋

can you use basement, outside of building or a park. all i got so far .

🗣Keep your knees bend, don't look down.

[@MissNephrit]

I am making 44 on Friday. I was never skating before, I went out a few times and every time it was a failure. But I was practising every time some walking. Yesterday was may..... 5th or 6th time and...... I DID Bubbles! And I was even skating a little bit! Of course, I felt a few times. Don't give up, just put your wrist and elbow protection :-) If I succeed, everyone can do this :-)

I hope you didn't give up! I'm 29 and just starting :)

I need a full explanation on turning 😭😭

I’ll try to do that. It’s actually really hard for me to explain because I don’t think about it I just do it. Lol! Do you mean a transition from from front to back or a spin around? 💜
