The Corkscrew Spin - Learn This Popular Roller Skating Spin

Hi Skaters, this is a tricky one but knowing the details of the spin will help unlock it faster.
Have fun and remember, wheels don't want to spin so spinning is definitely one of the harder skills on quads.

Hello, brilliant vid. Would you make one showing the toe toe corkscrew as you mentioned here? Thanks again!

[@Skatie]

There’s a move called the washing machine which is similar on the toe too. I should do one on the two.

[@dave_dave]

Hi Skates! Gotta love the haters that could NEVER even push off on a pair of roller skates, but they'll critique what you're doing. 🤔🤣😂🙄

[@Skatie]

🤩⭐️

[@tomciras6672]

Hi Skatie, you look great! Anyhow best explanation of the Corkscrew ever. It's a sick move that makes it look like you're screwing yourself into the ground. Thanks for the shoulder tip, helps me big time, I'm to focused on my feet. You're awesome.

[@Skatie]

Thank you so much. Sometimes it’s just that one small adjustment that makes everything click in to place. Well done. ⭐️⭐️😎🛼

[@tomciras6672]

Thanks!

[@Skatie]

Thank you so much! Your support is really appreciated! 💕⭐️😎🤩

[@Itsme758]

Thanx, very helpfull! Do your wheels have good grip for slippery wooden varnished floors?

[@Skatie]

My wheels are crazy slippy! I do like a hard wheel. These are 70D so the equivalent of around a 125A. 🧊 😂 I like to live dangerously. 😜 ⛸️

[@Itsme758]

@@Skatie haha thank you for your answer!

[@lr3m743]

Quick question: I have a pair of bauer roller skates and I've worn them multiple times but still they are hurting my ankles and splitting them. What other skates could I try

[@Skatie]

The Bauer have a plastic shell, if I remember correctly. Something in a suede or leather may be more comfortable as it will give and soften over time.

[@autumn.eq.]

Random question... What density wheels do you use? I got some 82as recently and i think theyre too grippy to spin

[@Skatie]

It’s much easier to spin on hard wheels. These are 70D so very hard.

[@autumn.eq.]

@@Skatie I do have some hard wheels but I skip everywhere!! Thanks for the help though :)

[@xBLACKNINJAx]

Doing one spin is not showing us that you can really do it. Do like at least 4-8 spins.

[@Skatie]

😂 😎🤩 my videos tend to focus on the breakdown for the tutorials rather than showing my “moves”. 😂

[@dave_dave]

Hater! Let's see your spinning videos. This girl would smoke you on a pair of roller skates, so I would be careful with your words.

[@hopemckinney944]

What a stupid comment.
