I stumbled on this by mistake. I’m going to tell you what you don’t want to hear: you lack confidence because you lack the fundamentals. Going fakie is not moving backwards without knowing where you are actually going…you can’t get to the coping because you hunch forward and don’t follow the curvature of the transition. You hunch forward on every single trick. You have to learn to bend your knees but the issue is you have no feeling for what is “under your feet”. You can definitely start aggressive skating right off the gbat, you do you, but it’s going to be 100 times more difficult because you don’t have the basics down 100%

[@inlineonline]

Yeah you're 100% right I definitely know that, I come from skateboarding so I can't help myself haha If you watch my first video from my first week of rollerblading you'll see that I started front side grinding like 4 days after getting my skates. 4 months later I know how to soul grind mizu acid grind and front side pretty well on rails and ledges but I've spent about 90% of that time grinding and 10% of that time skating around lol now that the weather is actually better I'm going to try to spend more time working on the fundamentals and just doing some real urban skating. I do so many other forms of cardio It's hard for me to want to do rollerblading for that if that makes sense. Like I'm mountain bike, I road bike, I run, I hike etc so it's tough to fit in urban skating on top of aggressive park skating. It's a lot easier to spend 30 minutes working on grinds in my driveway than it is driving a somewhere that I can urban skate comfortably. I live on the east coast main road with terrible potholes everywhere so commuting out my front door is not really an option lol And I'm not gonna lie, grinding feels so good it's hard to put my skates on and want to do anything else. I had to force myself to even try transition skating today lol

[@darkoale3299]

Amen! Aggressive is the most difficult & technical style of rollerblading. Become a good skater first and then move onto aggressive. Basics 100!!!

[@darkoale3299]

@@inlineonline Sure but becoming a good urban skater will make you a better aggressive skater.

[@inlineonline]

@@darkoale3299 you might want to check some of the more recent videos :)

[@inlineonline]

@@darkoale3299 sure but I really don't plan on doing that, I ride bikes and mountain bikes and have so many hobbies, Im just not really interested in urban skating, it's not convenient enough. I have to drive to find pavement without massive potholes. It's just not worth the time commitment. And I know more grinds in 6 months than some people who have Urban skating for a decade so I honestly don't think it translates much at all. And I wouldn't say aggressive inline is the hardest type of inline, aggressive inline is only as hard as you want it to be lol for example it's easier to a soul grind than it is soul stop. Just the other day my friend rollerbladed for the first time in his life and he did his first soul grind 10 minutes later. I think some people like you get this idea that aggressive inline is way harder than it actually is, It just takes a little bit of commitment and willingness to fail. If I had listened to people like you I would have had so much less fun in this sport, instead I got a nice bag of tricks I can take to any skatepark with a ledge or rail and enjoy myself.

[@cosmissonofwolf4306]

the most useful trick in a rollerbladers arsenal is falling correctly. if you have hard plastic cover kneepads learn how to slide on them and dont have your pants covering them otherwise you will stick to the ground and tumble uncontrollably and if you have no padding what so ever learn how to roll when falling. do trail skating and wood ramp skating so that you can learn how to skate slippery and really rough environments. you can do it bruv i believe in you. signed fl3xlopez

[@fabianginsel6247]

Aye bro, kinda enjoying seeing your journey but if i can give one main tip.. youre trying too much too early. Get comfy on the skates first before you wipe yourself out and break your stuff. As a 34yo beginner I take it slow and steady and try to actually master the fundamentals and 2 or 3 grinds properly, try steezong it out before jumping to the next trick, good luck brother 🙌🏽

[@bxl2012]

Aggressive rollerblading is really hard and there is a good reason why only so few people are doing it. I have mad respect for you that you are doing it at all. To give you one advice: learn to go fakie and then to roll into a transition and backwards out. You can do that very slow. That is the way for older people to feel out the necessary balance shifts. It's like learning to use a swing - but much harder. So like a child learning to use a swing, you need to feel out balance and gravity. Unlike other people here, I would say that it's better to do that slowly and not to go with more speed into a transition you don't know and can't really control. By the way: th subtile music that you put on the skatepark part really well pointed out how you felt in that moment. Very good editing!

[@inlineonline]

Yeah skating ramps is so much harder than I expected, super humbling. Its funny how I find it easier to learn grind than simply ride up a ramp lmao just gotta keep practicing. Thank you for all the kind words and advice!! I try not to over edit the videos and keep it flowing naturally

[@SaccoBelmonte]

Haha the CP2077 music in the background. Man you're brave. I would start a lot slower than that. Latch on ledges while standing still to get them locked in, and approach quarter pipes just skimming them at an angle, just "surf" them (just have fun doing that) until you can be confident enough to get to the top.

[@inlineonline]

I've actually done that quite a bit in another video, I learned how to do front side stalls to fakie on a slightly smaller but steeper cement quarter pipe and I can "surf" the transition, go to fakie, and safely 180 up and down every time. My biggest issue is simply staying on the ramp and riding up it. Like I was sucking myself out and simply jumping halfway up the ramp instead of riding up it like I should have haha glad someone recognized the music !!

[@kevincollins8620]

I would like someone said definitely work on skating for a bit and getting used to different speeds... hopping and jumping skating fakie etc. I'm horrible at skating transition still after all these years of skating since like 95.

[@keepyourheadup-]

First off...Great video! That's some funny s#!t..I feel like I'm watching myself..i have same dialogue at the park...same results(for now) I love when you went to other pipe for different scenery and same thing happened plus the tap dancing...made my day!! Look forward to future videos Brother, your Awesome!!

[@inlineonline]

Thank you!!! I need to get back out there on the ramps I've basically stuck to grinding since this video haha

[@ShredCitySkatesKelvW]

keep at it brother, you're doing great! Also, don't be afraid to just skate around, like at a skating rink, just casual rolling.. it'll help with your fundamentals and just general balance. Keep it up 💪

im just addicted to grinding everytime I put on my skates I want to go straight to jumping on my coping box lol I really need to force myself into the rink or the bike path this summer.

Man it’s brave of you to post your process. Those ramps look really safe with the handrails on the decks, more speed is your answer..!

[@inlineonline]

yeah Ive got a long history making content on the internet, I think I'm immune to being embarrassed at this point lmaaao I for sure need more speed, and to learn to pump

[@plarks-guddaboyz]

Bro this had me laughing my ass off but not at you & your skating at myself. I'm 40 & about 4 months in its been 2 serious hospital trips including currently 2 broken ribs & a whole lot of sprains cuts bruises grazes, lost pounds of flesh on skateparks near me & I still love it?? What makes us be compelled to know we should just wait a while let your shoulder heal, nahh hahahaha.. Skaters are a special breed.. I get this & big respect..

[@inlineonline]

broo 2 broken ribs is gnarlyyyy how did that happen? and it is kinda crazy how excited I am to go potentially hurt myself everyday, I HATE getting hurt but I still go tthat drive inside of me to learn new tricks so it has to be done haha I skateboarded alot growing up as well but I was never any good tbh and it really frustrated me. Blading seems to just mesh with me better and I'm having so much fun with it

[@royalewithcheeze813]

You need to get your elbow checked out. That’s first off man. It shouldn’t be killing you to extend or put pressure on it that bad if you’ve taken time off. Also focus on skating around the park first before hitting obstacles. Use that time to warm up. Stop jumping to reach the coping. You don’t have enough speed for that. Watch flower she rolls KZbin on ramp skating. It’s very helpful. And sit low when you attempt tricks. Don’t bend over. You’ll fall forward every time.

[@inlineonline]

yeah I have a bad tendency of just going straight into the thing I want to learn that day instead of warming up with the stuff I already know lol and flower she rolls is great ive been watching her and acosta blades for tutorials. I really didn't notice that I was jumping so earlier in real time, but obviously I was lol next time I'm gonna go to a big bowl and just get better at pumping first. Then come back to this

[@corneliusparkin2401]

You did very well brother! Before every session spend at least One hour stretching! I need to do this to be able to skate correctly. You’re just stiff. Also focus on engaging you low abs and low back. Creating that stability will make your control next level.

[@Sicnus]

Dude... the fact you can grind rails... is amazing. That, to me, is WAY harder than transition. I can drop in on the 9' at pool no issue... but even THINKING about trying to do what you did makes my shins disconnect themselves from my legs. lololol! Subbed.! Keep it up!

[@inlineonline]

I can only dream of dropping into a ramp that big haha I feel like grinds are a bit easier to built up the courage for compared to going sideways on a ramp 😅😅 maybe it's just me but transition makes me freeze up it's so frustrating. And you'd be surprised I actually only hit my shins twice the entire time, I smashed everything else tho lmao 🤣

[@kyleclimbs3740]

Hell yeah Bodie!

[@slazper]

Alright.. Lets get that confidence back... @2:35

[@johnhudd2660]

Man, I really needed to see this video today ... I am months behind you in terms of progress and still learning the basics in shop carparks ... but the last couple of days it feels like I have made no progress and even gone backwards ..... so seeing your struggles really brings it home that its not just me. The comments others have posted are really informative as well .... I think I'll stick to flat tricks and transitions a lot longer before attempting your crazyness 😀

[@inlineonline]

Yeah it's easy to get frustrated in the moment, this was a really tough session for me but you just can't let it discourage you! Sometimes I take a few days off and I feel like I can't do anything but it only takes 10-15 minutes before I'm right back to where I was. It's wild how mental this sport really is

[@dyson2318]

What stands out to me is that you arent staggering your feet when you hit the ramp. Try having one foot a little bit out in front of the other. It will help your balance and center of gravity. On a 1/4 that is concrete or part of the ground it's less important, but hitting that metal transition with antirocker skates can throw off your balance if you arent used to it.

[@inlineonline]

Yeah I definitely felt like I was tensing up so much as soon as I went over that metal sheet. I think practicing in a nice smooth miniramp would be better for me. Staggering my feet is tough I've got such a habit of keeping them next to eachother. I've always been a 2 foot jumper in basketball and that's translating to blading and messing me up

[@kevenc.8883]

But Dude! your grinding skills are superior to mine! nice bro, keep it up!

[@slazper]

@Inline Online One tip I think would help you is before you hit the ramp, imagine a full circle which would be if you extended the bow of the ramp. Whenever you hit the surface where it changes from flat to bow try to have your posture and head pointing in the direction of the center of this imaginary circle. When you feel you cant go up the ramp its because all of your energy is continuing forwards instead of transitioning upwards with the ramp. At 4:00 this really shows. You should lean more back here. Same goes when you drop in. You stand at the coping and lean into the circle, and let go when your head points to the center. Plus tip. Go to the park when others are there, most will like to help out and give tips and feedback

[@inlineonline]

Yeah I haven't been back to try transition yet but it would definitely help to have someone there who knows what they are doing. Hard for me to know exactly what I'm doing wrong until I review the footage

[@Funkaholik-me1jw]

Good job by the way!!!!!

[@Andrew_DC5]

Just skating around and getting loosened up and the blood pumping a bit before you even attempt any tricks will do you the world of good. At 37 i have to do this most times these days. As other people have said just get super confident just rolling around , no need to rush anything, it can be a slow process so just keep at it, consistency is key! For grinds i’d just keep practicing on the little ledges and your practice box. The temptation to go and try bigger stuff is always there but will do you no good at this stage. Just get super confident and try and skate consistently a few times a week for a few hours and you’ll soon see progression. Wish you all the best in your blading journey, dont give up! ✌🏼

[@inlineonline]

That's the overall plan!! Just gotta start warming up better getting that confidence up. Today I actually did that, went through all my tricks and then decided to learn acid souls and I did it! Getting warm is really such a big deal. I also just did a session yesterday where I did like a hundred straight so grinds on my coping box, so I'm feeling super confident in that now. Now that the weather is better I should be able to get more time outside just rolling around, I've become a bit obsessed with grinds

[@Andrew_DC5]

@@inlineonline good to hear you’ve gotten some good sessions in! The weather in England has been absolutely horrendous in my part of the country for months. Feel’s like i am back to square one myself.

[@inlineonline]

@@Andrew_DC5 yeah if I even take 3 days off in a row I feel like I've started to get rusty, right now I'm skating at least every other day even if its just for a quick session in the cold. Making a box for home is such a good play

[@coreyenglish8706]

Plenty of good advice in the comments so I just want to say good work keeping at it after having your confidence shook. Love to see it. Maybe get that elbow checked tho 🤙

[@inlineonline]

I appreciate it!! its mostly healed up now thankfully, id say about 90%

[@stuco]

It seems you are staying too upright instead of flowing and leaning with the ramp. Rolling back and forth on that mini ramp a bunch of times would prob help. Props for getting out there and doing it. You got this man.

[@inlineonline]

Unfortunately I'll have to go to a different park for a miniramp, but it's definitely worth the drive to learn transition skating

[@enzocalzone5298]

Number one thing I think enough people pointed out in the comments: Take care of your elbow first! Falling is just so common in this sport, to keep in mind the whole time that you have to try to avoid using that elbow to catch yourself is just too much I hope its healing

[@nofx21081]

I think if you had some friends that also like to skate,It would help you out. You can learn from each other and it can help push you a little bit.

[@inlineonline]

Yeah it sucks there's not really any bladers in my area, they are all in other parts of the state and sooooo much better than me

[@kevenc.8883]

You are hunching forward into the ramp instead of letting your feet ride up to the coping. You said it correct in the begging. push through your heels and flick your toes up the transition. Now just commit! You'll get there man keep it up! I know it feels scary at first but you need to keep your body more perpindicular to the ramp you are leaning to far forward as you are reaching the top, and trying to jump out of the ramp. Try this: as you are approaching remind yourself "feet First" then your body should follow. Your feet should leave the ramp fist before your body, if your feet arent rolling out then it's not time to exit. practice reps of just rolling up and touching the copping with your wheels and rolling back down fakie. Keep doing it over and over.

[@inlineonline]

Yeah it's like I was scared of letting my feet get in front of me, as soon as the curve of the ramp started I would jump. I didn't even realize I was jumping so early at the time

[@Ninguen-tz6du]

I can see myself in your videos. WE NEED MORE SPEED :')

[@inlineonline]

Next time I'm gonna send ittttttt

[@RollingAddiction]

Interesting video, if you had someone skilled skating with you, they could correct your mistakes quickly, they are super obvious to us, and you'd progress much faster. Your practicing wrong technique over and over without knowing forming bad habit, but when you're alone it's tough. The comment by GianniSiffredi is pretty accurate to my advice as well. When I started out, i used to drill the mini ramps, pump up and down, forwards, fakie, 180 turns, learning both directions, really worked on getting my balance good as a whole. With grinds, I start with a standing jump and get my feet locking comfortably correctly, and then progressively add speed, because you only get one go at an awkward fall. Keep it up, and I def would try find others to skate with.

[@inlineonline]

I skate everyday! you might be surprised at the progress I've made if you watch my more recent videos lol although I haven't gone back to skate transition yet, waiting for all my injuries to heal up 100% then I'm meeting up with some local skaters to help me at the park. Grinds are pretty easy for me all things considered, its been under 5 months and I have no background in rollerblading at all

[@RollingAddiction]

@@inlineonline yeah i just watched one of your latest videos (yt served me this one first), a lot of improvement, glad you kept at it!

[@inlineonline]

@@RollingAddiction thank you!! hopefully one day I can skate transition as good as you can, it looks like so much fun but as you can tell, my brain shuts off when I'm attempting it lmao

[@Neptune8]

i understand the itch to get out there and skate but you should nurse the injury first so you don't make things worse. also as a recommendation , id say practice in a half pipe with a decent amount of vert. the ramp you're practicing on is great for learning drop ins and stalls but there is also very little transition to learn to pump. heal your self , then find a bowl or half pipe edit: btw my suggestion comes from personal experience from skateboarding , im still learning to rollerblade

[@inlineonline]

You're totally right, I made a mistake skating through it. It sucks since it's an elbow injury I can technically skate fine... until I fall lol

[@Rollerlife]

I agree, mini ramps give you very little time to react to the fall. Larger verts allow you to fall a bit more graciously like a slide. 😊

[@ytmortos7662]

In my opinion I can kind of relate to your injury except I tore my acl I tried skating thought it but in the end I decided to give skating a break when I came back to it I realised that I had way more confidence because I realise that I didn’t have to think about how was was going to land so I wouldn’t hurt my knee it’s helps a lot it definitely sucks but sometime it’s better to take a break

[@inlineonline]

Yup that's definitely true, I went back to the basics after this for awhile. Elbow is almost totally healed but still hurts when I flex it, sucks I haven't been able to lift in over a month either

[@ChowdMusic]

"Today was a failure!" - no, mate. You got up, put your skates on and you got to work. You won, no question.

@@ChowdMusic you definitely can get it down just don't get discouraged early, took me over a month to hit my first soul grind but once I did it all started coming easier. I still can't skate transition at all though I've been putting it off, but it's time

@@ChowdMusic im not unfortunately I'm hidden off in little rhode island lol

[@Snifffski]

Dude, you aren't bad at all. I can't do any stalls or grinds so everything you do on the box is one up on me. I do what you do going up a ramp too - I jump out when I should be rolling out. It's all to do with confidence - that trailing leg is my safety crutch. But I think I'm a little bit smoother than you, and the only reason is that I hit the ramp with more speed. You seem to be going too slow. Skate really hard at the ramp and get up some speed, and that will take you up the ramp even if you're not pumping the transition great and you're still jumping onto the deck instead of rolling. Speed!

[@inlineonline]

yeah I'm definitely going waaay too slow, I was just scared of it that day I think, I know what I need to do now I just need to relax and set it happen. Feels like when I first learned to soul grind tbh, felt literally impossible and then one day I could do 10 in a row lol once it clicks it clicks but something about transition skating makes me overthink everything. I used to skateboard as well but I never did transition with that either lol its a theme for me to suck at ramps

[@Rollerlife]

Going up the ramp you need more speed and let the ramp take you out . Keep one foot a bit further away from the other always, that will give you more stability. And when dropping in it's good to practice having both feet on the coping (rail) don't drop in, just get comfortable standing in the rail with the front wheels in the air. Once you're comfortable lean a bit forward and as soon as you feel your dropping in, take your stronger leg further forward. You always want to keep a good distance one foot an front of the other... And then keep going at it! You'll get it soon. Just always use full protection and if you can, get the bowl kneepads, that changed my life regarding falls and getting hurt. Also, at first elbow and wrist guard. Falling shouldn't hurt your confidence, but getting hurt usually does. And if anything don't don't contacting me!😊 (I was able to teach my gf) 🤭 Btw, new subscriber... I wanna see your improvement video to video!🤗

[@MrTarrasque]

We all have these days and they suck! Confidence is 90% of aggressive inline skating

[@inlineonline]

It's crazy how mental this sport is

[@ervalhous]

Let the ramp get you up the deck, instead of trying to jump at it. Or maybe get used to going up and down in a single go before trying to stall it. Give your body time to heal, it's no fun to skate injured, specially when you don't have enough of a trick vocabulary to get you bad side cleared.

[@inlineonline]

yeah its tough for me to force myself to take a day off, since its an elbow injury I can skate just fine until I fall lmao but I'm always gonna fall a little bit especially while learning. And I didn't even notice I was jumping so early on the ramp until I watched the video, I can't want to go back fully healed and just try to ride it straight up. I've gone up and down and bit and I even did frontside stalls on a QP in another video, but I'm really not comfortable with either. I'm gonna go to a park with a big bowl so I can just get comfortable pumping without thinking about doing stalls or getting up to the coping

[@Fredward1986]

Sounds like a good plan, but you can still practice pumping with just a 1/4, it's just a lot slower as you can only practice forwards or fakie at one time. I think for that session you had your sights set a little too high.

[@AntwonJenkins]

For quarter/half pipes it's not so much jumping as it is leaning and just weight distribution to get on the coping. Jumping will help launch you out/off the ramp. I suck so yeah that's my 2¢.

[@lunchbox3d]

You had to pump up ,, bend your knees and extend as you are reaching the top

[@sweatyjib4140]

You are trying to fly before you know how to crawl, spend less time trying to grind and do trucks and spend more time just rolling around,. You lack the fundamentals give yourself a good foundation to work from before you get frustrated coz you can't do loads of tricks it will come with time but without the basics you are setting yourself up for frustration. Skate with others helps too, watching other people helped me alot

[@inlineonline]

I can do souls, acids, frontsides, pstars, mizous, and just started learning royales. This video is 2 weeks old and I skate almost everyday, I just hit 20 acid grinds in a row on my coping box the other day lol Thank god I didn't listen to people like you otherwise I would actually be frustrated not learning grinds, instead I am learning grinds pretty easily lol I learned pstars in under 10 minutes from first stall to sliding my entire prail. I skateboarded growing up so its a nice change of pace learning grinds so easily keep watching :) you'll see that some people learn things different than others, I definitely need to get better at skating around but grinds only last 1 or 2 seconds, I'm still skating around waaaaay more than I'm grinding lol This day at the skatepark was me purposely leaving my comfort zone. For less than 4 months, I'd say learning 5 grinds (to fakie as well), drop ins, frontside stall to fakie, 180s and 360s is pretty damn good. If you watch my first video and then compare it to my latest videos you'll see how much better my fundamentals are than before. But again its only been 4 months, Its going to take awhile to "look" like someone who skated their entire life and then decided to learn grinds after lol tons of people said I would never learn how to grind and I was doing too much too fast when I learned frontside grinds within my first week.... but here I am 4 months later with 5 other grinds, some that I can easily land 20 in a row on my coping. No offense, but I'm so happy I don't let these type of comments discourage me from learning new tricks. I wouldn't have fallen in love with grinding if I listened to you.

[@inlineonline]

its weird how some things are so hard lol

[@bobbobbinson1841]

Love the dedication. But I have a tip. Honestly I think you need to just skate more without the tricks. When I see you just skating around, I can tell you are not comfortable enough to bend your knees a lot. sooooo much balance and maneuverability comes with skating with your knees bent. If you find yourself EVER with your knees locked, it better be during a turn or on going fast with long strides. otherwise you should have bent knees. how can you push off good with straight legs like you have? you cant really. How can you go for a grind without knees bent? knees bent 76-90% of the time.

[@IconML]

Ur feet are too squared up, have one skate a little more in front of the other for more stability, as u ride up the ramp then bring both feet together a little more to boost you up Don’t lean back!

[@2a2day]

You’re thrusting and jumping waaaaaayyyy to early to get on the deck of the quarter. Jump at the coping my boi.

I can do both lol Some people told me to stop learning soul grinds until I get better at flat and now I know soul grinds acids mizous and I just started landing royales 😂

[@keeponblading]

That is NOT a good quarter to learn on! There is a clear jolt at the bottom AND the wood of the transition is hardly bent. It's almost a bank. This will not give you the feel of a real quarter. And it makes it harder. Transitions like this also make it harder to create or keep momentum.

You’re leaning far too forward, your balance and weight distribution is all to whack. straighten up your back and posture up.

To go up the quarter, as mentioned you hunch forward too early, you have to bend your knees at the start of the transition and kinda push your feet upfront before leaning your upper body forward to keep balance. As for soul grind, you have to work on forward ankle flexibility, your knee should be aligned with toes if not further for your makio foot and upper body leaning forward, would help a lot. Will come with practice.
