Roller Skating Tutorial - Falling Safely at the Skate Park

[@moxiskates]

Were these tips helpful? What other kinds of roller skating tips would you like us to cover in our next video?

[@fizz8912]

Can you do one about how to teach someone how to roller skate? With tips about how you can hold a beginner skater's hand when they're learning and how to support them properly at the same time. Something like those😆

Even though it's out there, getting back up... after falling.

[@huesofyou5283]

Maybe a skill tree for newbies trying to map out what moves to master. There's a lot to work on from street, park and dance and having a beginners foundation guide can help ease transitions from one form to another!

I'd love to skate in a supermarket! The cart must be great for balance 🤣 Legalize it!! You have my vote.

[@rhythmdroid]

Super helpful. I’m skating again after a 25 year break-and it’s quite intense as a 42 year old to skate big bowls. Been really hoping to learn how to fall WELL and smartly.

[@RoastedMarshmelon]

I'm buying myself padded shorts, so then I can practice falling the right way! Thanks for the tips!

[@moxiskates]

You got this!

Currently healing from breaking my spine while “skating” for my first time, good to know this just in case I try again at some point.

Thank you so much for actually showing me instead of just telling me how to fall. This video was extremely helpful!!!

Im cool with testing gravitational forces but it still hurts. Thank you for the great advice

[@kaylaklinkhammer7459]

such good tips karli!!

This was soooo helpful, learned a lot! Thanks, Karl!

[@angelarose5770]

I do the “tuck-n-roll” when I’m falling forward.....and after 20 yrs of not roller skating it’s saved my butt a few times. 😜🌈🦋 Love your content I definitely find vids like this super helpful, Thanx 😻

[@peachville4383]

“tuck-n-roll”? Are you nuts? I's this some sort of "duck and cover" maneuver? lmao

Thanks for this video!!! I was looking for a video to protect myself when falling backwards but I realized that there are not a lot of them on KZbin. I have a habit of using my arm and recently twisted it and hurt myself. I will definitely try the side way and rolling!

[@juancamula]

Gracias Karli buenas técnicas, yo estoy retomando de nuevo el patinaje despues de muchos años. Y fue muy util tu video

[@isabellaschuster4470]

Once I was falling backwards and I tried to twist to the side but... one of my legs wasn’t all on board w the twist and I sprained my knee. I recovered and I’m out there in my panthers🥰

[@SKATEFANTOM]

Glad you revocered! Injuries suck for sure but usually make us better skaters :)

[@breadbutt]

I tend to roll out of falls. A while back a friend wanted me to learn kung fu with him. I didn't stick with it, but one of the great things they taught us was how to fall and roll. I think it's helpful to practice falling on grass or soft ground and get used to rolling or whatever technique you prefer. Knowing how to fall really helps with confidence on skates

[@moxiskates]

We agree 100 percent!!!

[@ZteveW]

I only started falling after I started using the skates I made at home. I skated well at the rink using their rentals but I made my own. Now, I'm having trouble getting used to these skates.

[@robrechtdejaegher1089]

Very clear and helpful information. Thanks for your help it makes me feel a lot safer on my skates.

[@moxiskates]

Happy to help!

[@strangerpainter]

Always just go with the fall, accept the fall and lie down on the ground. :D preferable rolling around.

[@melsretrolife5812]

I use my toe stops for saving a backwards fall also. If my legs start going out forward I'll pick them up one at a time and jam my stop in to the floor just behind me. I didn't really learn this as such, it kinda happened on its own.

[@joeklug9879]

Nice video Gwen!!! Well done! You are one of the most graceful fallers that I know, and thanks for sharing your "secrets". Question for you: When I skate trails and I take a fall (usually due to debris), I typically end up in a baseball slide position. I slide off my pads and get a nasty case of road rash. Do you have any advice on how to correct this? Thanks!!

[@SKATEFANTOM]

Thanks Joe! Hmm, this may be unavoidable but road rash is definitely better than a broken bone at least so you got that going for you! haha

My left cheek is in a really bad shape for some reason I always fall on my left cheek.

Falling is fun. the landing.... is not.

[@juliorobinson5386]

This was great lol. I just had to stop after o fell and noticed a bruise on my elbow. It definitely was time to leave today lmao. It’s been years so even the best teachers have teachers so I’m here to learn
