[@aueghhg7547]

Pleaseeee post moreee often!!!!!! Your videos are the Best!!!!

[@Skatie]

Aww thank you. That’s so kind. We do once a week at the moment we’d love to post more often, being Skatie full-time is the dream xx 🛼❤️

[@ninyn]

Your videos are so helpful! You and Dirty Deb are really helping me level up my skills. Don't understand why you don't have way more viewers! You definitely deserve more! I live in Sweden so outdoor skating is definitely over at this point, but I've started to use the living room and the basement for practice. 😂

[@Skatie]

Thank you so much. We’re still a new channel only started March 2021 so fingers crossed we’ll keep growing. It’s too cold here in the UK too. 🥶🛼💕 enjoy your journey x

[@lomaleite]

Hey Katie! I'm Brazilian and I got hurt on my second day learning skating. After two months after breaking coccyx I'm coming back. Finding your videos was the best thing I could ask during my recovering. You're awesome.

[@Skatie]

🤕 hope you’re healing ❤️‍🩹 ok. Take your time getting your balance back x 💕⭐️🛼😀

[@paulafaloco9822]

Thank you Katie, I love your videos. They are very helpful, you explain things that nobody does for those of us who are very beginners! Hugs from Argentina.

[@Skatie]

🤗 thank you 👍💕🛼

[@kathoh6855]

This is great to practice in a really really small space, like my kitchen, so you can skate at home! Thank you again 😊🛼

[@Skatie]

Yes! Great idea. Definitely a good one for practicing at home.

[@natkapietruszki2705]

I love you, Katie, you're so positive and give me hope I will be great at roller skating one day:)

[@Skatie]

Oh that’s so sweet. Thank you x. Keep practicing and you’ll get there. X 🛼

[@juliaffalcao]

Found this video in such perfect timing - just today I went skating and was frustrated with how badly I seem to be rn at controlling my weight on skates. Will definitely be doing these at home tomorrow, thank you so much for the amazing videos!

[@Skatie]

Have fun on your journey x.

Lol... you're great, girl. I'll definitely try doing some 🐔 here, too! Thanks again 💝

[@Skatie]

🐔 😂 thank you xx

[@erikabarrera2670]

I just got my own skates and your videos are very helpful

[@Skatie]

Hope you’re having lots of fun 🛼🛼🤩🤩

[@rinitea9094]

After thinking it over for years, i just went for it and bought proper skates last week, but the weather's been a miserable drizzle all weekend! My apartment is tiny, but with your indoor tips I am able to still make the best out of it so next time the weather clears up i don't have to start anew, plus it also helps with breaking into my new skates :D I love your positivity and clear explainations, you're really wonderful!

[@Skatie]

Oh what a fantastic idea! Have loads of fun with your new hobby. Go for it! 💕⭐️😎🛼☔️

[@missblackvelvethessen6541]

♥️ Thank you so much for your helpful videos. Greetings and hugs from Germany ♥️

[@Skatie]

Hello 🇩🇪 Thank you xx 🛼❤️

[@elleyj1754]

This one is lots of fun today, thanks for the laugh! I always forget to work on this move. Skaters need some sort of audio app to help us remember all the drills we want to work on!

[@Skatie]

Thank you xx. We like to have fun and hope it gives you a laugh xx.the app is a great idea.

[@CarmiRecede]

you help me so much skatie 💜 Im on my third week of learning how to skates 😅

[@Skatie]

Oh that’s fantastic. Hope you’re having fun, stay safe xx ⛑

[@jasminduncanson2520]

I'm still learning to stand on skates in my home

[@Skatie]

That’s a great place to start. ⭐️⭐️⭐️💕🛼

[@jasminduncanson2520]

[@terrahultin]

I did my first crab walk today!

[@Skatie]

🦀 fantastic!!! 🎉😎🤩

[@davidalonzi2918]

Hi Katie, I’m loving your videos as someone in their mid fifties and trying to be a teenager again 😂 and never really got the hang of skating back then, I’m finding your tutorials so informative. One thing I’m struggling to get help with is which skates are suitable for a guy who is about 90kg as so many seem to have lighter weight limits. Any suggestions very welcome 😊

[@nadineinchina]

Tomorrow is my day 3. I'm gonna try this. What would you say are the very first few things a beginner should learn?

[@Skatie]

Definitely balance and standing comfortably. Then you can move on to moving and very important too, stopping xx

[@kaelajehnke9212]

I just started skating. One day I’ll get it

[@Skatie]

You will. Keep practicing. 🛼💕

[@Princesspeachfan456]

Even without this I am still having fun. Skating is a new hobby for me beacuse my club has just brought out the roller skates and I’ve been trying them out.eventually I’m might get skates and properly start learning.

[@Skatie]

Skating is all about having fun and enjoying yourself. You go for it xx 💕⭐️⭐️

[@Princesspeachfan456]

I just got my first pair of skates today!

[@lykafoxpole]

Would you recommend practising this on carpet/grass before a harder surface like concrete/asphalt/tiles/floorboards?

[@Skatie]

Absolutely. This can really help you gain confidence. You can always try the weight transfer and feeling without your skates too.

[@biff5856]

This is easy? Hmm. Oh I found a skate shop in St Louis. Getting there.

Hi, I bought roller skates for my daughter and would like to teach her how to skate. But we have posture problems. We are very afraid of falling backwards and therefore we lean forward too much. Do you have a correct posture lesson?

[@Skatie]

I talk about posture in this one. kzbin.info/www/bejne/sH7Ro6CkpNOWitU

[@cuttieboo2609]

Ok I have an important question , hopefully someone can help me so... my skates are new had them for like 2 months now , when I practice sometimes I hear a click!, I adjusted my wheels because they were a bit loose, but I still hear the click from time to time, it normally happens when I put more of my weight on one side. Is this normal? Or should I be concerned??

[@Skatie]

It could be the cushions moving in the cushion cups. You can pop a tiny amount of Vaseline on the cushions to help them slide easier. It should be ok as long as you’re not getting any rattling sounds when you shake the foot.

[@cuttieboo2609]

@@Skatie ok thanks so much 🤗

[@Lyheanglovevita]

How much is the roller skating

[@Skatie]

It’s hard to answer but you’ll need skates and protective equipment. I’d say you’d need around £150-£200 to get started.

[@madelinered5767]

Can you pls link your skates?? Tysmmm!!! Illyyyy

[@Skatie]

These are a custom set up - Risport Dance boot, Roll-Line Dance plate and Roll-Line wheels. A similar beginner set-up would be the Rookie Artistic or the Chaya Melrose Elite.

[@Stitchnsmoke]

I don't think my feet do this😩 even with skates off, I can do two at the same time but the second they have to do As and Vs moving sideways?? Nahhh 😂

[@Skatie]

Think of doing little A’s and V’s. They can be nice and compact. I know hip rotation can be troublesome for lots of skaters. 😢 I find yoga helps with flexibility.

[@devlincolleen]

I'd like to order the kneepads you have, but the link above doesn't work. Can you provide another link or a name for those? Thanks!

[@Skatie]

Sorry to hear that the link doesn’t work, I think it only works if you are in the U.K. The title for these on Amazon is “SPFASZEIV Skateboard Pads for Kids Adults Protective Gear Set for for Children”. Please can you let me know where you are located and I’ll try and find the same set for you and send you a link.

[@devlincolleen]

@@Skatie Thank you so much! I live in Indiana, the U.S.

[@Skatie]

No problem! I found them and here’s the link: www.amazon.com/dp/B07VYRX3MS

[@devlincolleen]

@@Skatie Wow. That was fast! Thank you. Fabulous. Just what I've been looking for.

[@devlincolleen]

Another question. I'm an adult woman, probably around your size. What size would you recommend?

[@kellymhall8028]

Hi skatie need to speak with you

[@Skatie]

What do you need? 💕
