How to jump safely on inline skates and how to avoid falling backwards.

[@elisabethb6087]

I love these videos! I never learned to rollerblade or rollerskate as a kid so now I'm 29 trying to learn how to rollerblade. These videos really help me understand the mechanics of the movements/ actions

"Windmill of death" 😂😂😂 i love this definition

I don't know how to express my love for you and your videos, super helpful. I remember few months ago your video made skate for the first time in my life. Big love from Nigeria 🇳🇬

[@dannytwitch3276]

I love her humor! I will never forget that phrase, “the windmill of death” 😂. As always amazing tutorial! Thank you for sharing🙏.

[@SkatefreshVideos]

Glad you like my little phrases. Hopefully if you ever do the dreaded arm swing on a jump you'll immediately know about it and correct it. It his THE cause of falls on jumps. Control this and you'll be jumping with ease.

[@dogsandsmiles]

Very cool, Asha! Super useful technique.

[@gregorywandersaround6178]

Asha, this is a great video. There are several roller rinks in my city, and the other day there was a guy who was trying to jump and touch this decoration which was hanging from the ceiling. Of course he flailed and landed on his butt! He also was doing something that you touch upon in many of your videos: 'Skating as fast as he can with ZERO ability to stop!' Peace to you, Asha! ;)

[@SkatefreshVideos]

Ahhhh you can spot them too! Stay very far away from them. They will plough into you as a stopping method and then apologise as you are on the ground. Learning to skate (and stop) proerly is not just for your safety but for all those people around you. Let's all just get our basics nailed so we dont kill ourselves or eachother (or our butts).

@@SkatefreshVideos OH MY GOD YOU REPLIED !!!!!! I just want to say how much I LOVE your videos. I bought my roller blades recently and I keep watching tutorials to learn from there. Anyways my practicing on rough surface made my whole body vibrate so much and I actually tried it on the road as I really want to inline skate on the road and just move around but the place I live in now has really rough roads so I had a lot of vibration along my entire body and my roller blades kept stopping by themselves because the surface was extremely rough.

[@PeckoBre]

I noticed, many people using these "new" skates with 3 wheels. What would you say are pros and cons of 3 big wheel design?

[@SkatefreshVideos]

+PeckoBre Pros: faster, lighter, smoother over bumps and bad surfaces, holds speed longer, reaches higher max speeds, good technique is rewarded. Cons; faster (you must have your stopping methods honed properly obviously). That's it, I think they are great and Im sure they are the future of inline skating. In 5 years everyone will be on 3 wheels I predict....

[@laurel5432]

SkatefreshAsha currently I'm practicing my stops on four wheels and I can't wait to hop on some triskates I want to use my skates as a transportation means and I'm sure three wheels give the smoothness and speed that I want

[@ilzeberzina5999]

I would wish for more of a breakdown on a jump itself - e.g. the fact that you have to jump with flat feet. That is really difficult for me and I keep falling on any landing.

[@SkatefreshVideos]

Hi. This is Sergio from Team Skatefresh. There is more about that in the Advanced online course by Asha here skatefresh.com/product/how-to-skate-advanced-level-full-course/ If you keep falling that's probably because you are placing more weight forwards or backwards when you land. Practice jumps on grass hundreds of times until you feel confident, do it on the same spot, not trying to cover a distance. Focus on the fact that your body needs to go vertical, not forwards, you go up and go down in a vertical motion.

[@HeadNtheClouds]

Is it easier to jump on skates than without? I stink at jumping in general, but I see all these urban skaters effortlessly jumping & I wonder if the fast forward momentum makes it easier to get off the ground? I want to jump , but I’m afraid of falling because I am 50 & don’t want to get hurt (I am currently healing a shoulder injury, yeaaa) 😦

[@MV-bf8mu]

Its harder, because you cant use your feet and ankles as much to generate power. You mostly rely on core strength, your arms, and knees. Inline skates have a flat skating surface and it makes jumping harder. Try standing on the ground, and jump without lifting your heels as preparation. Thats kinda the feel of it. If you look at figure skates used on ice, notica that they have curved blades which help to generate more power, which somewhat imitates the way you use your feet when you jump.

[@ZakyEsta]

hey ya, im a newbie skater from indonesia and i wanna ask something does size of the wheels greatly affect our style of the jump? i mean, what is the best wheels to jump? small size or big size, im using 68mm (if im not forgot my wheels size)

[@SkatefreshVideos]

The answer is "it depends what kind of jumps you re doing?".... In skate park with ramps? Flat to flat? Over obstacles? Bigger wheels are harder to land as the wheel is taller so more margin for error. Smaller wheels best for jumping yours seem super small, but fine up to 80mm. For more skate advice, sign up on www.skatefresh.com.

[@ZakyEsta]

oops, sorry for the size, today i check the box and its written over there 84mm. i train to jump flat to flat on a road. i always do that wind of death :(

[@SkatefreshVideos]

84mm is fine for jumping on the flat. But you really have to focus on your arms not going in a circle behind your back. Keep them in view infant of you.

[@michaelstapleton2768]

I’ve been skating for 8 mos and is it normal that I’m still scared to attempt or learn to jump?

[@SkatefreshVideos]

Hi. This is Sergio from Team Skatefresh. Yes, it's pretty normal. Some people need more time, that's it. Try to do it on grass but without rolling, practice 5 min. each time you go out, ideally at the beginning of your session because this may demand quite a bit of energy (depending on age). Practicing on grass will make you gain confidence. Once you feel comfortable enough you go to the tarmac and do the same but again without rolling. Finally one day when you are not scared anymore you try it rolling. That's how you should learn, progressively. And don't need to start with a jump, just a hop.

[@michaelstapleton2768]

When I land, is it preferably to land in ready position or with a slight scissor? Once I learn this, I will try to jump over some of my friends. LOL

[@SkatefreshVideos]

Hi. This is Sergio from Team Skatefresh. A slight scissor is ok.

[@crashjackson3689]

And land with staggered feet which you're doing but didn't say out loud during your tutorial part.

Yes a slight scissor position is good but not too long.

[@alfaalkaaf5335]

I did the windmill of death even when not jumping. Lol

[@SkatefreshVideos]

Bless you. Yes our weight can go into our heels any time we shift our butts back or straighten our knees (or both). But noticing the cartwheel of death is important as you can then reach forwards and stop it! Otherwise it's backwards fall and that's always risky.

[@vwrabbit4life]

Yeah going over backwards is the worst. Did it twice before realizing proper weight and stance. Stay low

[@SkatefreshVideos]

Ouch, hope you didn't hurt yourself. Many people 'stay low' but still have their weight on the heels and still fall back so it's often a more subtle distinction. How's it going with your new online course? Let me know what you think of www.InlineSkateCourse.com

[@vwrabbit4life]

Yeah I guess I should say stay low and torwards the toes. I still find myself going on the heels when I'm cruising in scissors. It's tough. Been doing lots of squats and lunges trying to build the muscles in my legs. My weight and stance builds with every session. It's a beautiful process. For anyone reading this try Asha's inline skate courses. They are so thorough and in depth and go way beyond any youtube video. They are worth every penny if you wanna learn to skate easily with the correct techniques and progress very quickly.
