[@nicolegiroux3019]

Skatie, thank you so much for your amazing videos! I'm returning to skating after about 25 years and the handful of your videos I've watched have been so helpful already. I really appreciate how simply but thoroughly you explain things and demonstrate them.

[@Skatie]

Thank you so much. I’m so glad they’re helping 😎⭐️🤩

[@boleynaddcock]

Okay I need to try that first stop you did for when I’m panicking that I can’t stop rolling. Yes I’m gonna drill the t push stop!

[@Skatie]

Great idea

Happy new year!! 🎊

[@MasterZhao]

So how do you maintain balance? There is always that moment of panic when you lose balance just doing basic moves or skating and you think you're going to fall. You never really see that with some of the advanced skaters. Is it a muscle memory practice thing or just getting use to being on skates?

[@Skatie]

It’s hours of being on skates. If you feel a wobble get low, soften the knees. Advanced skaters do have the occasional wobble but they’re just more used to saving a wobble so you may not necessarily see it.

[@zemthemattress3443]

On the "fish" are you using the whole edge evenly, or mostly the front or back wheel?

[@Skatie]

It’s pushing down into the two inside wheels. To get really fast you can eventually lean more to the back of the skate but be careful as that can make a backwards fall more likely.

You remind me of a friend and colleague, originally from Poland.
