I saw a shoot the duck in a video a few weeks ago as I started skating. I NEVER thought I would do something as fancy looking as that.... well this weekend I got it, thanks to your tutorial. It actually came quite easily I just had no idea how to approach it! I am so motivated to do ALL your tutorials now. Thank you

[@bridgetlarge1989]

Leah Does Everything oh yeah I had no idea it had a name! Assumed it was ‘superadvancednotfornewbies’ or something 😂😂 amazing how accessible it is! ...still can’t get the hang of backwards yet though 😭

How do you push off in that circle? I feel like I need to lift my front wheels of my inner foot to keep turning. Otherwise I'll just go forward when I push with my outher foot. Thanks for the great tutorials!

[@mereldekerel2116]

glad I found these vids. My first skates will arive wednesday and I am a 38 y o mom who has never really skated before and I am just not very sporty to begin with but hey I hope I can find the determination to at least be able to roll outside and dance a little. These videos look really good and cant wait to start.

[@JourneyDrummer1972]

Ms. Fiore, “Wish we had this technology back in the 70’s for our 🅗🅞🅜🅔🅦🅞🅡🅚!?“ Gold Skate and Nationals would have been a lot less stressful 4-sure. I stumbled on your content checking up on “Old Man Bob..Fountain Valley’s doing great, not sure hiw Denis and Gail (Collier) are fairing? Do you? I hung up skates for 38 years after we filmed SkateTown USA and my Last Gold Skate before Military Service. Got back on 3 months ago, and BRAIN PHARTS aside have only fractured my wrist avoiding a 5 y/old entering floor oposite direction while I was backwards flowing through a turn. Now that my memory is back in touch with the floor- My nerves are scared to leave it. Figures are still there, just can’t get feet off the floor. My axles turn to spins, loops turn to bunny hops, where’s my Michelin Tire Guy Snowman Suit!? 😅 So nice to see you doing this “For Sustaining The Sport!“ With Disco-Oasis and Vinyl making a 50 year Reunion Big Time, Feels like 1979 all over again! Q: Can you possibly try a split screen edit with Slow-Mo one side, your walk through on the other? Would help point out edges and form from actual speed of maneuver. Which is a lot different than stationary. “You Wok-I Roll!“

[@HanEul.06]

You are amazing! Thank you very much for tutorials

[@eveelima1]

My face when I struggled like hell to do a shoot the duck barefoot just to see how it feels first and then realized that it is so much easier to do it on skates! :O The heels of the boots just give you perfect balance, amazing

[@judjohns59]

I also liked your comment about not being too old. My daughter taught me to skate again 2 years ago (2016) after being off skates since age 17, I decided to try to be a ref for our local Lubbock, TX roller derby team. It’s been almost 2 seasons and I am not probably going to pass my MSTS because, our “coach” thinks I am too old. I am 59. I will be 60 in October. I am a 3rd degree black belt in karate (got that when I was 51) and a two mile per day swimmer. Am I too old, or should I have a discussion with our team captain regarding our “coach” and her negative attitude?

[@ThatNicoleFiore]

Judith Johnson omg definitely have a discussion about that! I teach skaters in their 70s and 80s that have no problem at all! And that is amazing, such huge accomplishments! Be proud of yourself and skate on! Don’t let anyone tell you you’re too old for anything! Too “anything” for anything! Lol

[@judjohns59]

That Nicole Fiore thanks, i will talk to the team captain and let her know what is going on.

[@daniellisy7161]

Great tutorial, you have such a superb vibe and style, really like your videos :) pls make one on braking, I just started, and braking especially at a higher than slow speed is quite a challenge :D

[@ThatNicoleFiore]

Daniel Lisy thank you!!! Okay, sounds great, yea it can be a challenge. What kind of toe stops do you have/what kind of skate?

[@daniellisy7161]

@@ThatNicoleFiore I have the Chaya Jump, its my first skate. I do struggle with toe stop, T stop, any stop that would allow me to brake on a dime, I skate outside, so in case a kid, or inline skater would change direction I just can't stop fast enough, skate I try to break with, bounces and I almost loose stability, hence I don't even try anything downhill yet :) There are no indoor areas, nor trainers for roller skates where I live. So youtube is all I get :D thank you very much Nicole.

[@emmaprivate5601]

I figure skated on ice before wouLd this give me an advantage when i start roller skating?

[@aj1807]

I was an ice skater for 3 years as a kid and stopped when I was 9. I'm 15 now and I picked up roller skating pretty easily, the muscle memory of sideways pushes rather than steps is very useful. A lot of new ice skaters try to walk on the ice, and apparently it's common for roller skaters too.

[@abigailstaten129]

if you loose your balance or are going over cracks in your garage or sidewalk bend your knees more it helps alot

Hi Nicole, I’ve just recently started skating and I’m really enjoying it but I can’t get down low enough to do the cannonball without falling backwards. I’m only 16 though and it kind of worries me (though other than this I’m not very sporty). Is it normal to not get it straight away? Is it balance or leg strength? 😅😅

[@ThatNicoleFiore]

Molly Stewart this is totally normal!! Don’t worry, just keep working at it! It’s a combination of everything, honestly. It may just take time 😊

[@JMBBrasil]

Where are those skates from?!

[@spartan51kurt]

How do you stop without a toe-stopper? My skates dont have that...

[@ThatNicoleFiore]

Steven .Balboa ah I can do a video on that for sure. That would be a T stop with your wheels

[@nessbluerogan240]

I think this is really going to help but I’m chubby I’m fat and heavy and not flexible or strong so I feel like for now it’s easy but I will never be able to do any tricks! And I don’t know how I’m going to improve if I’m terrified of skating in public!

[@saoirse_flies]

If you haven't watched Moxi's video where Shove is giving what she calls "tips for fat skaters," I think you'll find it very helpful and encouraging. I probably would not have bought skates for myself if I hadn't happened across that video. 💕 (Also, you're probably a lot stronger than you realize.)

When i was trying the drill in the beginning i ended up badly spraining my ankle and i think i might have been doing something wrong idk can i please get some help with that because as soon as my ankle feels better i want to get back in my skates because i highly doubt that it was you or somthing

[@ThatNicoleFiore]

Hey, I am sooo sorry to hear that! What skates are you wearing? A lot of ankle injuries have to do with the stiffness of your skating boot?

[@imrileyandstuff9159]

Now that i think about it i got them from amazon and it was kinda a sketchy brand the boot is not very stiff and does not have much padding to it i was wearing gear when it happened idk the wheels are polyurethane i think i just did it wrong posture wise and fell but thank you for helping me out!

[@giuliavignaroli3911]

Nicole, do you know why when I try to skate on one foot or when I do the "shoot the duck" I am not able to go straight and always bend to the direction of the foot I am standing on?? Any ideas how could I train myself to go straight?

[@ThatNicoleFiore]

Giulia Vignaroli ah this is a common problem, it just takes practice. Really focus on your knee going straight down, and evening out the weight in your skate so that you don’t go on an edge 😊
