You're the best skate tutorial channel! no exras, blogging or talking about random stuff - just skating love it X

[@ShortysSkateSeries]

Wow, thank you! I get nervous talking in front of the camera so I try to limit that as much as possible. 😅

[@CO-iz7wp]

Agreed. I am so fed up with having to skip through life stories just to get to the skill 😅

[@camilajaramillo8646]

I've been practicing this just for a couple days and i already feel the improvement in my technique!! this and the carving tutorial have been the most helpful for this beginner. thanks a lot!!

[@ShortysSkateSeries]

Yay I'm so glad.

[@jdm1696]

I have watched so many tutorials. I am totally new to roller-skating ( just 2 days into this) and I hate those supper long, boring ones. You go right to the point and explain things so well and the visuals are awesome! You might have some but I wonder if you can talk about people who have been injured in other sports and are scared and set back by that.

[@ShortysSkateSeries]

Thanks for watching my videos. I don't yet have a video like that but that's a good idea. I'll work on one!

[@godalmighty5331]

Someone put thumbs down and it wasn't me, i'd like to hear their reason as I may of missed something because this was perfect. Well done Shorty on a good tutorial and when it comes to safety being sexy... so are you :) Cheers gumby xx Peace

[@ShortysSkateSeries]

Thank you for your comment!

[@imjustasconfusedasyou]

i’m so glad i ice skates for a few years of my childhood- all the movements (and some tricks) are so similar it’s insane!!!

[@ShortysSkateSeries]

I wish I had more try to ice skate!

[@imjustasconfusedasyou]

@@ShortysSkateSeries i did it as a kid but stoped cause we sucked and no one would allow us to profess to the next stage EVEN THO WE WERE DOING IT RIGH

[@guilhemandre228]

I just got new roller skates, after using roller BLADES my whole life and the difference is so big that I have to relearn everything, thanks for the tutorials!!

[@ShortysSkateSeries]

Yeah the different balance and edging takes some time to get use to, but once you get comfortable with that, I'm sure you'll be rolling around in no time.

[@lennymaybe]

after watching this yesterday i went out to skate last night and i felt like my bubbles improved a lot, i was able to put a lot of power into them instead of just moving my feet in and out. the way you explain/demo them really helped it click for me!

[@ShortysSkateSeries]

Yay that's great to hear! Congrats on levelling up your bubbles!

[@adriangonzalez1505]

앗 부천 ~~~ㅎㅎㅎ

[@ShortysSkateSeries]

Yep. I love the spine ramp

[@klainsasser]

Wow strong legs 😮

[@ShortysSkateSeries]

Thanks!

[@magiclay]

hello that whells give more speed that the led ones? i have the led type

[@ShortysSkateSeries]

Typically Led wheels are hybrid/outdoor so are around 83a hardness. So you should look at something harder. What type of skating are you looking to do and surface you are skating on?

[@sgtechiedad]

Thanks for the tips, may I ask where to get the knee guards similar to yours?

[@ShortysSkateSeries]

I’m wearing Bont prototype knee pads which will hopefully be available in a few months

[@sgtechiedad]

@@ShortysSkateSeries Thanks for the info and prompt reply, cheers!

[@JustineAna]

With the Bonts do you feel like you need any extra toe guards? I bought some Parkstars and didn’t buy any toe guards because of the bumper.

[@ShortysSkateSeries]

Sorry for the late reply. No I don't usually wear toe guards until my bumpers are worn out and I'm too lazy to replace them. 😅

[@JustineAna]

@@ShortysSkateSeries hah thanks!

[@EugeneMaynard]

👍🏾🙏🏾

[@ShortysSkateSeries]

Thanks!

[@justjordan8018]

My but cheek does not agree with this Tutorial, so I got it some extra but saviors.

[@ShortysSkateSeries]

I also use butt pads too sometimes.
