Tips for Beginners 1

[@Bleagle]

At 2:07 I thought she would teach us how to grind that railing xD

[@Eonnn84]

LOL yeah I would just stair ride

[@wilbo5289]

Bleagle you cant use those skates for grinding they dont have the space in the middle of the roller blade to do it

[@dontask5808]

Or if your like me, you try to jump down the stairs, make it half way, then fall

[@pdors94]

Lol..like that one video game...on some Tony Hawk status

[@TheDarkPledge909]

LOL me too. Was like hey man, I don't think I'm ready XD

[@Eonnn84]

number of times grass stop has saved my ass...

[@yaseminkop8440]

this is a beautiful park

[@TheFlitzpiepe666]

yasemin kop should be in munich, Germany ;)

[@yaseminkop8440]

TheFlitzpiepe666 Maybe I will try to go there :)

[@TheFlitzpiepe666]

yasemin kop sounds great, I would like to do so also. Even makes sense: because I just started to skate again, because I live in Germany and because I've never been to munich :D

[@yaseminkop8440]

TheFlitzpiepe666 lol lucky

[@TheFlitzpiepe666]

yasemin kop u think so!? ;) not sure... so where are you from?? :-O

[@HarmonicaMustang]

One thing that really changed my game and let me move on was keeping my blades horizontal i.e. not bending inwards at my ankles. It's something everyone does when learning to roller blade, but when I started noticing it and counteracting it by consciously by adjusting my ankles I realised I had better balance, better control and I was able to do leg-over-leg whilst changing direction.

[@Miister00]

DJ Shuffle But what if your foot/leg always bends inwards towards your ankles, its how my foot is. is my posture bad? when i stand on 2 skates i feel weight on the outerparts of my feet but not in inner part of my ankles which feels very unusual

[@SenimaSan]

I'm wondering the same thing! I actually have this problem on my left foot only and I wish I knew how to fix it. :c It hurts pretty bad.

[@SifuPuma]

Rather than think of the boot as a piece of footgear I just visualize it as a platform that I am standing on. Of course you would want the platform to lay flat as that would keep your wheels going straight down and you would be standing on flat ground as our bodies are designed to.

[@TheDarkPledge909]

I actually didn't do that, but mostly cuz I remembered vaguely in middle school someone saying to do what you said. Have tripped many times, but still have yet to actually fall!

[@Ayplus]

Lol wish I had youtube in the late 90's when I was learning as a kid lol. Had to figure out the hard way.

[@alittlebitofmoi]

***** LOL I had to read about it to figure it out!!

[@xanScorp]

+alittlebitofmoi Aren't you the lucky one. I had the "sink-or-swim" method to learn.

[@zrow9903]

+xanScorp Well.. i don't think you're gonna learn anything from swimming while wearing skates...

[@xanScorp]

"Sink-or-swim" is a common analogy for learning by doing. How young are you to not know this? In my case it was just lace up some skates and go skating. Did I fall at first...yes. Did I learn...yes. (Almost fell forward too many times as before then I'd only been roller skating which has brakes on the front...but I learned)

[@zrow9903]

+xanScorp I thought my trolling would be obvious :P I am 19yo, amateur dutch - english translator and so i DO know what "Sink-or-swim" means. I just thought it would be funny to reply this way. The girl next door taught me to skate when i was 6... in the years after that, i taught myself how to skate backwards and jump, but damn... i probably fell more than 100 times ahahah... (mostly because we started using homemade ramps)

[@OperariaCarito]

Oh my god, those roller blades are beautiful

[@ginkgo4310]

Carolina Jaramillo White and also very feminine i love them. They are so cool.

[@Hrai03]

Where was this shot it's a beautiful area

[@AuthenticRollerblade]

+MunchingMc- Awesome Gamer This is Munich Germany Olympia park

[@PaperboyA1]

+AuthenticRollerblade Do you have to have a "Skate helmet?" Or can you just have a ordinary helmet like a "Bike helmet?" And thanks I learnt how to ride rollerbladers thanks to you.

[@PaperboyA1]

+AuthenticRollerblade Also my little sis has "Inline Skates." Whats the difference between "Inline Skates" and "Rollerblades?"

[@holofech9744]

+Anton Mc A skate helmet would be better, but in all honesty you could wear a lacrosse helmet, as long as it protects your head. There is no difference between "inline skates" and "rollerblades". However, "roller skates" are different

[@PaperboyA1]

Ok thanks, Holo.

[@ds53564]

Dear lady and the camera-person, thank you so much for this helpful video. My daughter struggled with roller-blading until she saw this video, she was not comfortable and relaxed and kind of afraid of falling. After watching the video something clicked in her and now she is flying around like butterfly. Awesome video and great instructions. Thank you one more time!

[@KM-px8cs]

Finally a video with some good advice i didn't already know.

[@allison1173]

Aww, I wish I would knew the "going down the stairs" tip, yesterday i was rolling skating with my friends, and wanted to go to the bathroom, and we all fell down the stairs D:

[@dararutherford80]

I had skate for 5 years now and , I ussualy go sideward when I am going down the stairs and when I am going up I walk normally , but you can go up sidewards :D Hope I helped you in some way c:

[@crazycoli3370]

Allison1173 today my friends and I were eating cookies with our skates on at my friends porch and I just slowly and silently slid away then fell down the stairs. We were all dying of laughter and I almost choked on my cookie😂😂😂

[@peternguyen5870]

Just learn to stair ride very effective

[@ash8me]

I bought the skates in September 2014 and learnt watching the videos on KZbin and really speaking it helped me so much. Try and try till you succeed. For new learners Practice catching from wall to wall short distance and you will get better. Rest you need patience and determination

[@velizra5824]

I found this video so satisfying.......I don't know why

[@karlaaracena4409]

hahahahahahahahhahahahaahah I feel the same 😂😂

[@roncallahan40]

Karla Aracena Its hard to skate and talk at the same time. Kinda like singing and swimming

[@haych27]

she has a lovely demeanour, her accent isn't too strong and she doesn't use the word 'guys' like most Americans do to refer to a group of people - which I find extremely annoying

[@jessesandoval6820]

She sounds exhausted 😂😂

[@moth5655]

+Jesse Sandoval yet she is giving advice on how NOT to get tired lol

[@rustyshackleford3647]

Skating IS exercise... and she's talking the whole time which restricts her breathing.. her heart rate is increasing (healthy!) but she's starving her bloodstream of oxygen TO HELP YOU LEARN TO SKATE! Get off this lady!

[@yumyum7437]

Outoftheblu she is talking while rollerblading...when you rollerblade you do get tired..there are some cut shots as well so you don't know how long she has been rollerblading for..I like to see you try

[@moth5655]

+Simon Cowell +Doug Gann My comment was rude and immature. I apologize for what I said.

[@AvocadoToast06]

@@moth5655 so nice of you to apologise 🥺 most other people would just start a fight. 😊

[@JendisJournal]

These are great tips. We want to start skating as a family and we are all new to it.

[@huseyin.fazlioglu]

Jendi P. Did you do that????

[@IrethN]

LOOL furk for a beginner, if I want to stop at a patch of grass, I wouldn't do it right at the edge of a pond!

[@theory6366]

IrethN ahahahah SO fucking true I’d die

[@xalex8359]

Very useful tips! A friend decided to buy her first pair of rollerblades and your video helped her a lot!

[@SuperNanCheyy]

This was so simple and helpful, I've recently been trying to learn how to skate but haven't figured out how to stop yet, hopefully I can master this soon!!

[@OperariaCarito]

Cheyenne Hughes don't use that technique, please. Take the brake off your roller blade and learn the T stop, it's safer.

[@SuperNanCheyy]

Carolina Jaramillo I haven't taken the brake off but I am slowly learning how to T stop, I found this way too difficult 😂😂

[@aliiamustafaa]

Thank you so much! I have been rollerblading for three years with my dad and we were going down a hill and he told me to not be afraid and bend my knees and it worked and all of the other tips they helped me alot and I'm telling all of the viewers to try them! 😊😊

[@williamlisle8519]

I haven’t watched to many but this is the first tutorial that has told me to use the brake. Most tell u to learn the breaking techniques

[@gmorren]

Very smooth and elegant. Great tips, great enthusiasm.

[@sionneromine5956]

Wow! You are so good at skating and doing two things at once

[@josemallabo9772]

Good video. I've deployed the "dive into a bush" braking approach in the past. This seems more logical.

[@h0tie]

Watched this video and skated like a pro in no time! Thanks for all the handy tips!

[@albert_ters]

i felt on my chest last week i still have big pain though i was wearing full protection !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it's not easy as you guys try to teach people .

[@theawantikamishra]

On my face, almost broke the jaw, it is not easy and am afraid to try.

[@bobbyblair5464]

The best way to stop is to leap into the air and brace for impact. Works every time, guaranteed!

[@steegal6929]

Thanks for the video. My daughter just got her first set of blades and this has really helped her.

[@revert_irelia]

watching this in my offtime, got a hard blister and I can't control at all until it heals up, good video

[@awesometubehd2407]

Thx this really helped I JUST started rollerblading and when u ice skate a lot it helps to

[@zrow9903]

+AwesomeTubeHD I actually got very good at inline skating when i was a kid and one day, i even won a medal in a regional ice skating competition, even though i had no ice skating training whatsoever. Unfortunately i got 7th out of 8 place in the national competition. So yeah, skating helps with ice skating and the other way around. :D

[@kanikagupta6045]

Thank you Kris Fondran for uploading this video. It helped me so much in my practice. Thank you once again

[@kingkoolisout]

In-line skates or rollerblades are the 1 row of 4 wheels. Skates are the 2x2's so you can choose. If you were to go with the in-lines I'd choose something by K2. Most of their stuff is adjustable, so you can use them even if your foot grows.

[@unicornsdoesexist]

very helpful! i loved rollerblading as a kid and want to start doing it again 'cause it was a lot of fun and i need excercise but i tried a while ago and i forgot how to do it, i guess i'll have to start from zero

[@Bertfolio]

Thanks! Skates are my Christmas present hut insaw my parents buy them so will watch this repeatedly to learn!

[@holograce5726]

“So if your skate take you to a set of stairs, no problem. You’re going to want to do a gnarly af grind down this railing, it’ll be wicked!” - (probably) what she wanted to say

[@clayvonnahooper2524]

thank u so much I'm getting some roller blades for Christmas and now I know how to skate

[@therealndjira]

+Clayvonna Hooper Planning on getting some myself in a week or so c:< Good luck to ya mate

[@rosegold8872]

I'm going to get some in April, May or June.😃

[@johnharrington4757]

+Clayvonna Hooper im getting a pair next week

[@cesarkohl]

I liked the stairs tip, thanks!

[@Supdude.]

Beautiful place there you skated. I think I'm going to find a parking lot and just practice until I get the hang of it. I'm sooo looking forward to being a good blader!!!

[@Vandorianna]

Munich Olympic Park! I was shocked too when I recognised it, first I wanted to scream, hell you got really so much nicer park over in the States, and then, it's actually here in (otherwise often very very boring and shabby) Germany!!;))

[@AuthenticRollerblade]

Kris is using the Activa 84 Rollerblade skate.

[@rickc.9664]

I recently bought in line skates and feel that is more complicated than I thought. I have only used them twice (only have time on Sundays) for 2 hours first day and 3 the second which was today. I think I did better today than the first day, I can move but because I don't know how to stop yet I'm so scared of falling, hitting a pedestrian or crashing against something that I try to go very slow. I'll keep watching videos and practicing for a month or so if it doesn't work I'll probably just get a bike.

[@franciscosar819]

Hey Rick, how did it worked after that month?

[@yami2227]

First I need to learn how to go forward with them lel

[@JazzyJ96771]

I love inline skating. Only inline,quad skating will never compare to inline skating. Thank you for the tutorial.

[@Rob-bv6ew]

I appreciate the vid, I am just starting out and the challenge is moving slowly and stopping. You fly like an eagle and I have to keep telling myself it wasn't always that easy for you :)

[@neuregel]

I started out with aggressive skates it really helped a lot. Now I skate on Seba skates with 80mm wheels but when I want to practice something new or skate on certain trails with larger hills I switch back to my aggressive skates

[@thumbsupd5164]

you're gonna have people .. and you re gonna have obstacles ! life taught me they re the same :)

[@AliMakaveli]

*Where do I get a Park like that?*

[@FrakGaming]

Another great way to go down stairs with roller skates is to go at them fast and jump to the bottom. Make sure you lift your legs up to your side and grab your skates when you do before hitting the ground.

[@harvingaming3203]

Or to stop I just fall flat on my bum xD

[@user-cr9ym8kx3q]

saamme 😂

[@3dmazeXyz]

+Harvin Gaming to use the heel stop you have to stay low and put 80% of your weight on the other foot. Only 20% of your weight on the foot that is braking. Extend your arms in front as you were gonna touch a table. Arms will be a counterweight for your butt, then you will not fall.

[@harvingaming3203]

+3dmaze.xyz no worry a I'm good now

[@dn-li7ww]

This is very helpful! But I would definitely advise wearing protection, like a helmet, knee pads, elbow pads, and wrist pads. It might take a while to put them on, but it's better to be safe than sorry! 😊

[@zrow9903]

+Danielle Nuti When i was a kid, i learned in full protective gear, and as i got better and better i stopped wearing most protection because i was annoyed by them. (Also because the other kids said it wasn't cool to wear protection) Most of the time i kept my wrist guards on though. But you're right, it's better to be safe than sorry.

[@Titandusk]

Great video. I'm just learning to skate and can't wait to get better.

[@jeffhermida4788]

These tips also apply to skiing. Great video

[@AnySub]

Any video for really beginners? like day one... ?

[@zydecosailor]

look and find some that talk about getting on some grass and walking around or going to a safe farily smooth place and do some very slow circles both ways... experiment with some to the drills in 15 things to make you a better skater... if you spend some time on some of these drills you will be very comfortable on your skates

[@ClutchxPotato]

Just got my pair this helps a lot

[@viviana9883]

Wow i took off the break off my skates,i have to attach it back now.

[@qfeng1226]

Wow, your REALLY good at skating!

[@mkunicorn3832]

I tried rollerblading but i didnt wear a helmet and fell lol. Then i gave up. But i wanna start again

[@yufeizoeao8326]

If I try to grass-stop, I'm definitely heading straight into that detention pond.

[@TheBorjka]

You better dont use those brakes on rollers, just remove them and start being strong human

[@OperariaCarito]

Borjka agreed

[@hecateblack8195]

and busting your ass in the process😂😂😂

[@roykahn87]

what a beautiful location for skating!

[@AuthenticRollerblade]

For beginner it is better to have smaler wheels, like 80 mm or 84 mm. So you are not to fast as well lower balance. This will help you to turn good as well are stabil when skating. have fun....

[@barbgentile6949]

Them skates still made ? What make/model are those ? They are gorgeous.

[@MrWeAllAreOne]

The very first thing I done when I bought my first inlines was take off that stupid brake,I never even wanted to try it once!. I have found many far better ways to stop!

[@MartianJonn]

When I was skating down a very steep and narrow hill, I was happy I had the brake.

[@MrWeAllAreOne]

I must admit I avoid hills if possible eh!😉 lol

[@Mirita100Habbo]

Yup, i month after i started learning, i took of the break, and the hill, you have many ways to stop! normally when i need to stop i use the T break

[@MrWeAllAreOne]

After just one months use I am already able to T stop with either foot,spin stop(both directions) And power slide. The brake is for people too scared to learn,hill or not!

[@117mcrfan]

Spin stopping is what I use the most, mainly because that's how I stopped before learning the hockey stop on ice. But I always removed the brake.

[@neuregel]

I had an accident that put me in a cast with broken hand bones. Hurt like hell. Dr said I couldn't run because the sweat would make the cast smell, I couldn't mountain bike or go to gym because I could not use my left hand at all. I was out of work for two months, home and bored so I got into inline skating. been hooked ever since. Hope you get better but seriously the aggressive skates were the way to go for me and they look really really cool

[@Strwbbe]

it's weird that i know how to skate well but bad at roller skate! 0_0 3 years none roller skating!

[@neuregel]

even smaller.... I learned on aggressive skates with 56mm wheels and still use them on trails with large hills in my area.

[@jaldeez3409]

What's the name of that park? Looks beautiful.

[@DaniloGanzella]

the perfect angle of camera I needed to animate my videogame character sprite. thanks

[@chelseataylorvideo]

this lady is the coolest person ever

[@Theedoek07]

Olympiasee looks like a great place to skate. Maybe i'll be there sometime, ill take my skates with me!

[@meikexd5043]

Ok, one thing. The cameraman/woman is a boss! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@SirPrancelot1]

Inspiring video, thanks. Will try and remember what you say when I try it for the first time! I can't find any more videos by you Kris. Are there any?

[@briannagurl10888]

this helps. I'm a noob at roller blading. I skateboard, I taught myself how to ice skate. I know how to roller skate but to roller blade. is a big challenge. but my skates Doesnt have breaks.

[@Beebshelpmeineedhelp]

Is the camera guy wereing skates as well

[@7volatileint7]

thats what i think.

probably yeah,and skating backwords

[@Orcahoon]

Im watching this like 8 years later XD but this was helpful!

[@いしトモ-e3d]

うらやましいのはスケートで滑れるほど道が整備されてる事だ。誰でも気軽に楽しめる。地方ではなかなか無い

[@nighthawk20011]

Great advise,. But gotta say I lasted half a block today on my first attempt. Was a bit terrified 🤣. Quads I'm decent at. In lines...not so much..but one attempt. I'm not going to give up.

[@carolinek_ck]

Very nice video, looks so smooth when you skate. And the park is amazing!

[@ridgeevan7299]

very good and helpful ... thanks for such video .. also that down staircase trick is real safe and cool

[@loopheadfilms]

That's brilliant, thank you!

[@nickmitchell8618]

Great tips! Beautiful park!

[@B19T4R]

Very good informative video well done Rollerblade you seem to be well ahead of the game.

[@vanessa8282vr]

Frist chick that looks cool in the blades safe n yet cool thanks I use2 know how to but it was 15 years ago im trying to relearn u can say thanks

[@ROXELE]

Where I live there's no parks like that :( but I will try !

[@dominicmcmahon4798]

I got excited when I heard her mention the SCISSOR POSITION!

[@victoriapretta8192]

Very helpful!!! Bec. After i watched this i was able to skate just by following all the tips..you're a good teacher..thank you!!! :-)

[@kingtyger8702]

i use to blade before, but that was back before my teen years, so something tells me when i got back into skating, i am going to eat the ground, but this video seems to do the same thing i use to do, but i was one of those STIFF boards hahahahahas, but hoping now i can do it better in my adult years, thanks for the video!

[@711CokeSlurpies]

I love this! I will try these tips out asap! Btw, WHERE IS THIS HEAVENLY PARK LOCATED lol

[@IZaubermausI]

Nice Video! But I miss the right protection....

[@selinaortiz5545]

she helped me out a lot 😄😄😘😁👍

[@kaylagarrettt2000]

I'm new at skating, and I can't get the hang of any of this. Today I threw my back out just landing on my butt when I was falling. I'm starting out with regular skates, but I'm always falling even when someone is holding my hand and I always end up falling either way it goes.

[@Saiqueen1]

You will get the hang of it, I have a terrible fear of falling but am determined to master it. The best of luck.

[@virus2003]

Make sure to bend your knees a bit and lean forward. Falling backwards means your center of balance is too far back! Also, keeping the wheels at an angle to the ground, not perfectly perpendicular to the ground, will definitely help with your balance. I'm sure it'll "click" with you soon. Good luck!

[@pedroskipr]

How are you doing now ? 5 months should be enough? Are you enjoying it or did you give up ?

[@kaylagarrettt2000]

I'm still really bad.

[@pedroskipr]

I am sorry to read that. You need to practice balance with each foot. I recommend you step down on a grass, and then lift one feet and try maintaining balance as most as you can. Do that with each leg so you can learn balance. The trick is to control your balance. If you haven't tried that, you should. When you gain control of your balance, it will be a piece of cake. I hope you get better.

[@AvocadoToast06]

How do you go *up* stairs? Cuz at one point when you stopped there were stairs going up behind you and I thought you would teach us how to up them. 🤔

[@13shivan]

Second best cameraman after the one grylls has

[@mdsadikulislam4758]

Very nice tips. I like skete.

[@goodknight37]

[@revolutionunderground]

Totally unrelated, but I LOVE those pants!

[@doanbanloa]

Thats exactly I found by myself today, very helpful video

[@yendak]

Wow, that place looks great to skate around at. I wish I would live in munich to be able to go there. :] Nice video!

[@JonathanDillonfds-fx]

I'd probably end up doing a LAKE / POND stop if I tried that grass stop... :D

[@TheBearfootKnight]

Where is this video at? That park is beautiful!

[@tuffbear7603]

I’m a beginner so when my dad first brought me these incline skates I told him to remove them for me because I saw other pro skaters not needing them so I guess I don’t need them. I fell on my butt more than three times.

[@metalgrinch]

The problem I have with braking like that is that I tend to fall backwards. I dont know how to keep balance when leaning my back backwards while keeping my feet in the scissor position.

[@antoniaoni3685]

thanks for up-load this video....

[@springer17468]

You are correct, obviously he was skating while shooting, these days people have difficulty walking while chewing gum..;-)
