Skating back pain? - How to skate 100km (pain free) with no training!

[@jorgereyes3737]

What a great video! I'm 33 and I've been skating for a couple of years now, back pain it's my principal problem when skating long distances. I'll try to apply your advice... Thank you very much!!!

[@danielkanyo9417]

Maybe one more thing: proper warm-up before skating. If I skip the warm-up phase my back starts to hurt after 5-10 km :) btw very great and helpful video. Thank you :)

[@thorupviktor]

Very valid point! Thanks for adding that 😊

[@jordansmith5943]

What do you do to warm up your back?

[@danielkanyo9417]

Nothing special, just the basics. At least 10 minutes :)

[@kitsaurus]

Thanks! I suspected I was using incorrect technique because my lower back gets sore so quickly. This video confirms it's not supposed to look like a deadlift.

[@difflocktwo]

Final tip on rest is key. People need to approach it like any other training.

[@Avalentica]

This video literally couldn't have come more timely. Literally yeasterday i wen't for my first long skate of the season with my club on my brand new skates (Thanks Topskate, they're amazing). After about 25% of the ride i could really feel the back pain, and i ended up going much slower and more upright for the rest of the ride to try and spare my back. I'm sure its partly being the first long skate of the season, and first long skate in years (just re-started skating with a year long break due to feet pain from bad skates) but i'm also certain it was bad technique and stance. Time to get the proper stance burned into my brain and save my back from a lot of pain! So all in all, thank you a thousand times for making this video! See you on the streets skating!

[@littorio27]

The one on the right makes me feel pain in my lower back even as I'm sitting in my armchair :). The bright sun and squinting helps conveying the pain the poor skater is experiencing. A very nice video, Viktor!

[@jordansmith5943]

Thank you! I’ve been looking for solutions to this for a long time.

[@carniyadepths3591]

Awesome presentation and passion yo teach👌👏👏👏👏👏

[@drrudolph639]

Thank you, helped alot. I love inline skating and racing. Defo thinking abour switching my frames to reduce the vibrations.

[@TrophFantatic]

Thanks Victor, couldn't have come at a better time 🙏

[@ChiroSpeedskating]

Thank you for this, was also planning on doing a video about this topic. I'll probably give more exercises to deal with lower back pain and refer to this one for an optimale skating position and to prevent the pain.

[@najibarvia]

please do. I am interested

[@Alex_Rodvalt]

Thx for your help video. I need more practice to get my technic better.

Great video! Thanks a lot and wish you all the best for your knee 👍🏻

[@rippedpantsaj]

an unfortunate side effect of skating is your risk to fall. It's an unprodictable world but I see scrapes more than anything else in this sport.

[@thorupviktor]

@@rippedpantsaj True.. But it's been worth every scar ;)

[@rippedpantsaj]

@@thorupviktor we wouldn't do it if it weren't!

[@danielnowak9583]

Excellent video. Thank You.

[@stevej.6674]

I find doing a “classical push” really strains my lower back and I can only skate for a short time. However, if I maintain a good under push while double pushing, I can literally skate for hours without any back pain!

[@edwardtaylor5207]

Another excellent video. The skating equipment part is great, i might have to try some softer wheels!!

[@AlexanderSergeewitch]

thank you very much. as always, it is relevant and on the case!

Good advice. Thanks

[@guillermopereyrairujo3115]

Hi Viktor. Thank you for all these great tips. Your idea of showing the goods and bads opposed was really effective. I was surprised with your comment at 4:30 about using more wheels on a rough pavement. I've always chosen bigger (and as a side effect fewer) wheels against that, like 110 or 125, to make the roughness "smaller" respect to the wheels. Even though I found your advice counter-intuitive, you have a good point too. Would you add any other points to this to help make a choice? Thank you very much!

[@Mr.Miyagi907]

Nice....thanks

This was the topic I was interested in, thanks for covering it. Are you preparing for 🇯🇵 or I misunderstood it? Pulling for you in any case.

[@thorupviktor]

Thanks! Preparing for 2022 Beijing ;)

[@88SJoe88]

Thanks for the valuable tips, pal. What should we do if we twist too suddently the back in order to evade falling on our back, but then fall in a twist and force the lower back to the point it inflamates at night? I also have back problems since before learning how to skate

[@5171659]

I did 50km on 180€ stuff with no lower back (just lats and glutes) pain but I reliesed the way I'm thightening it up is wrong without watching this video after one month of skating. Sheeeesh ✌

[@CanadaBladers]

No knee pads comes with a cost. Where to find/get that wrist watch to time the rolls, calories, distance and speed?

[@thorupviktor]

This is actually an allergic reaction to some kinesiology tape I used... I'm wearing and happily using the Garmin Fenix 6 watch from www.pulsure.dk :)

Can you make a video about lace bite? It really hurts and I don't know how to save the problem.

[@juliusrieda8286]

Very good and informative video for back pain! But I think that without proper training and aerobic preparation to skate 100km (without stopping) is very questionable :) If you don't have a proper fitness prepared for it, these tips are not enough to skate that kind of distance :)

[@xrdKLUR0Qsn4uBKOsFxh]

Super useful video thanks ! I do try to get my knees at a 90° angle but I think my ankles aren't flexible enough so my weight is more like on my heels instead of being on the front of my foot. Would you have any tips for this (and also for strengthening my ankles because when I go on low cuff with my RB E2 PRO 125 I feel like I'm always going to twist my ankle)

[@dillonmatt3840]

Look up stretches for dorsi flexion

[@Cocytus]

Damn, that's a gnarly mark on his knee. Damn, our dude here must have taken a SERIOUS fall or slide. Looks painful :(

[@johnnix862]

What I want to know is, why is roller speed skating, ( inline, and quad skates ) not in the Olympics? For crap sakes, skate boarding, is in it! I understand, like snowboarding, you do have to have some athletic ability, but damn! I would like to get an answer, for I have been wondering why, for years about it!

[@paulblichmann2791]

It would be a double-dip for ice speed skaters. Ice is the chosen format for skating, so if you are really elite, ya gotta get on ice.

[@GoFoggy]

Has to be said, after your spermcountshame this was actually a very useful vid Victor. I myself (mid fifties) roll on different wheelsetups, like F1 or F2 setup, but also mixed setup 83a 85a. Just few days ago ordered 83a 125mm wheels, yes especially softer cause of rougher roads overhere and own body relief..

[@user-dx5wt1hx9t]

6:54 wouldn't this rounded back be bad, it looks like hunching when working on laptop, like kyfosis. I gotta say I do skate like on the right image and that's why I feel my lower back on fire,but I'm afraif od changing it to the left image, because it looks like hunching. I hope you answer this 🙏🏻
