THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING MY CHANNEL! You're the best

[@Canda]

You are so good at explaining positions and movements in a way that is easy to understand for someone whose English is not their first language, and knows nothing about skating! Thank you so much! Also, your list of tips looks so cute hehe

[@simon_slays55]

Reading this made my day

[@TerpVarin]

Thank you for this! I started doing the single leg plow stops from one of your beginner videos and that's felt the safest and most effective so far.

[@simon_slays55]

Yay! That's awesome, I like them a lot too and they feel cool haha

[@lynnvu2722]

I love your hair cut 😍

[@simon_slays55]

THANK YOU! I chopped SO much off, hacked it with my scissors over the bathroom sink and thankfully it somehow turned out, I definitely didn't know what I was doing haha. ~it's mullet time~ >:) btw I like your name, Lynn is my middle name

[@ashtonbeaman]

I have been trying and practicing this for days... today I went to a park with fresh smooth cement and I'm finally able to have more control and almost slow down to a complete stop. I'm going to keep practicing in the days to come... I'm so happy!!! Any idea why I'm feeling this burn and workout more in my lower back than in my legs though?

[@twentyonesketches6215]

Yay! I look forward to your uploads every week!😊

[@simon_slays55]

Aw that makes my day to hear

[@wo0o0o0ho0o0]

I love the style of your videos. Voice over with you doing the moves is a great format to teach roller skating techniques.

[@lovemystery7328]

Beautiful and very well explained. New subscriber. After 10 years I'm on it again and I can't wait... Waiting for my Moxis 🛼💝 Thanks for the tips.

[@allisonhay8760]

This was very helpful to me. I don't really slow down when I try to plow stop. I think focusing on my outer edges will help a lot. Thanks!

[@simon_slays55]

Yay! That's awesome to hear it was helpful. You're welcome, you got this!

[@sonyasmith5623]

thank you, i needed this 😩

[@Orozco3721]

OMG OMG 15k!🎉🎉🎉🎉💛💛💛💛❤️❤️❤️

[@nyarodayoo]

Thank you! This is the only way I can stop hahaha and with your video I'm gonna try to do it perfectly

[@ericawatson352]

omg thank you!! i have really been struggling with these. i was thinking about it as my inside edges, so can't wait to try again with these new tips!

[@simon_slays55]

Yay I'm so glad I made a video that can help! YOU GOT THIS!

[@alannamoreau9588]

I’m brand new and this helped sooo much! I couldn’t get the hang of it before, but you explained it so well! I would love a tutorial on how to properly turn on roller skates! Nothing fancy, just if I’m skating along and want to turn to my left or right :)

[@sabahat6625]

I got roller skates for the first time that similar to your vans one (converse skates) and I found that without a heel it’s harder to balance and out your weight on the front, as well as the little ankle support compared to heeled. Any tips for that? Love the video btw!

[@gayo4077]

Thank u u have really simplified this for me il be trying that later im so unbalanced and petrified x

[@simon_slays55]

You got this!! 🔥

[@Kiriynn]

Thank you so much for this video !! I love that you make everything so easy to understand, even the way you talk is easy to understand for someone whose first langage isnt english so thank you !! Also, i love your hair and make up, your vibes are: off the charts !!!

[@Eevee_mousery]

Hi, I have some Rio Roller Luminas and was wondering if you knew if they're compatible with any grind blocks? :) thank you

[@onebreath210]

Was it s hard transition moving from skates with heels to the vans which are flat? Any tips for those wanting to skate in vans skates?

[@BoxOfShockolates]

Hi! I overthink LOL & am confused by "push onto outside edges". Do you mean roll your foot to the side as you arc feet/point toes inward with pressure?? What area of the foot am I applying the pressure-- toe region, side of foot in the middle region, or side of foot near heel? Do the feet stay on the ground, or should they slightly lift as the outside edges are being pushed? sorry for asking 21 questions lol

[@brown_gurl]

Once I get stops down, I'm finally gonna start dabbling with transitions and one legged skating 💀

[@simon_slays55]

Yesss

[@karleshasharne]

Every time I try to stop I’m just bending my legs and still don’t stop🙄🙄
