Love how you broke the cross pull down, thank you. This is next on my drills list (I’ll start with your video first). 😉 I like that the move uses edges and strengthens the legs.

[@Skatie]

Definitely all in those edges. Have lots of fun practicing 💕🤩😎🛼⭐️

Hi Katie! I'm Aashna and I'm 10 years old! And honestly you have helped me a lot with roller skating! You explain everything really fluently! And I love your positive attitude towards things!! Thanks for making my journey fun and enjoyable 💕💕💕💞💞💞❤❤❤❤❤

[@Skatie]

Hi Aashna (what a pretty name). My daughter is 9, she loves skating too. I’m so glad you’re enjoying your skating. Happy rolling 🛼👍💕

[@lbmrnt]

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ i’ll always support you katie

[@Skatie]

Thank you so much. 👍💕

[@biff5856]

Bwahahaha you're hysterical. That aside, your tutorials are perfect. (Haven't gotten my Riedells yet) I'll be starting inside my house. I can progress, by being able to refer back to them for different elements, corrections and tips. Couldn't have a better scenario for starting quads. Thank you Miss Katie.

[@Skatie]

Awww thank you xx 💕⭐️

[@maryf7230]

Hi Katie, I just found your videos about a week ago and I love them. You explain things wonderfully. I am 56 years old and coming back into my favorite hobby that I loved as a youth. Some things come back but fear is big and I am going to use your ideas to move past and find the fun and freedom I have only felt on skates. Thanks keep us the great work.

[@Skatie]

The feeling of freedom when I skate is just everything. I hope you find yours. 💕⭐️⭐️🤩

[@igballehasani9910]

Hi Katie,I'm 10 years old and I'm getting rollerskates very soon,your videos are really helpful,keep up with the good work!

[@Skatie]

[@lovelyerizen8130]

You explain so well! Thank you for your videos 💖

[@Skatie]

[@trishasmith2303]

Thank you for the tip on the beach bunnies. I just got my skates last week, so I’m getting used to rolling. I have found marching is easier than doing bubbles for me.

[@Skatie]

🛼👍💕 I think lots of people find marching easier. Especially as it’s much closer to walking it feels more natural.

[@dayannablanco1963]

Katie, thank you so much from Costa Rica !! I just love the way you teach , you are so kind !!!!

[@Skatie]

👋 thank you so much 🛼👍💕

[@sonialadystardust]

So I need to replace my cushions!! Thank you for the advice! 🙏❤

[@Skatie]

Do you have the Moxi BB’s? Lots of skaters say it makes a difference. I have a skate anatomy video which will help when it comes to changing them x

[@sonialadystardust]

I have the moxi rainbow riders, and I think the pb is the same, I've losen the trucks but it's still hard to turn properly 🙏♥

[@sonialadystardust]

Thank you for your work, it helps a lot 🙏❤

[@BentleyLifeStylePhotography]

So simple and well explained! Thank you 🙏

[@Skatie]

Thank you xx ⭐️⭐️

[@tifstar700]

Wow great tip! This is going to help me so much!

[@Skatie]

Fantastic! 🛼👍💕

[@MsLadyFuchsia]

Thanks so much for these tips! Im an adult recreational figure skater so I'm trying to transer all of my on-ice skills to off-ice quads. It is frustrating to say the least! My skill level drops from single jumps on ice to learning how to turn corners in quads! And it is surprisingly hard to find videos that explain where the weight on quads go... This was the first video I found explaining how the mechanics of edges with the big toe and little toe works. Please keep making these videos! They're really helpful! #newsubscriber

[@Skatie]

Oh that’s wonderful to hear. I think getting the weight in the correct place is the hardest bit. From a quad skater who tried to transpose her skills to ice I truly missed my front outside wheel on a loop take off!! Splat!! 😂 😂

[@mldrew08]

Just got my skates :))) this vid came at the perfect time haha

[@Skatie]

Fantastic! Have fun on your skating journey! Happy rolling 🛼👍💕

[@tracyheath6076]

You are the bestest ! LOL I know I am gonna stretch it here but could you do a video on a how to do a proper progressive run? Especially the 2nd step of that... (( on the RIF )) and keeping that left foot flat and back ??? WHY IS THIS SO HARD?????

[@Skatie]

Oh you’re talking ‘proper’ dance runs. They are tricky with that foot placement not too far back or too far forwards! 😂 nice idea for a video though! I shall add to the list.

[@biff5856]

Even at the basic level it's so different from figure skating. It's not going to be a walk in the park for me. But I have wood floors so I could just practice balance and leaning at home. I don't plan on skating outside. I have to find a good skate shop to order boots.

[@Skatie]

It’s a great idea to start at home first to get your balance.

[@Ivygirasole]

hello, I'm Ivana fron Italy. I bought the Chaya elite purple and I can't get the wheels to flex. Unscrewing the bolts the frame creaks, moreover it doesn't seem like the flexibility you showed in the video. The bearing just looks like it's almost disassembled. Could you make a video just about making the wheels flexible, please?

[@Skatie]

I’ve got a video on equipment I’ll paste the link kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZpO2d4l_nrWjfdU

[@lisamgreenleaf]

I wondered why I couldn't turn while just leaning. My shoulders and body were pointing the right way but my skates carried on going straight! I need to adjust my trucks!

[@Skatie]

⭐️💕🛼😀

[@mamatajci]

Are cushions and bushing the same thing? Love your videos!

[@Skatie]

Yes absolutely. Just different names for the same thing.

[@toby9999]

Soft cushions are great for turning and manourering but I find them too unstable for speed skating, so mine are hard. Is there a workaround or should I just train myself to skate fast with soft cushions?

[@Skatie]

I always use softer cushions as I like a very responsive truck. I haven’t had a lot of experience with speed skating so I can’t really offer am much advice. Sorry x
