[@dropkickpeeps]

That tip about it going plate-nut-guard-stopper explains what has been happening to my skates... Thank you!

[@Skatie]

Oh I’m glad that helped. It’s an easy mistake to make. Happy rolling xx 🛼

[@gabyf001]

Great video! My toe stops are completely unused, ha ha ha. So I will practice these steps to actually begin using them.

[@Skatie]

Have fun x 🛼

Brian. Definately a Brian. Everyone needs their own Brian.

[@Skatie]

Yes!!! 😂

[@hgreat3645]

Love your vids 😍 Love to see a beginners guide to roller skating at a skate park since I have no idea how to drop in.

[@Skatie]

Glad you’re enjoying the videos. I do some park skating but for park skating tutorials definitely check out Shorty! Some amazing tutorials on there. kzbin.info

[@magellancloud]

This is great! Will try on my next session ☺️

Have fun 🛼

I tend to forget they are there cos I learnt to skate as a kid on old fashioned roller skates without one!

Could you do a video on how to stop while skating backwards please? Love your videos!!!

[@Skatie]

Hi. You can use the backwards one foot drill to stop. Or the two feet if you prefer.

Perfect!!! 😂

[@crazygrrl53]

I've gotten better at stopping without my toe stop b/c my toe stop continuously becomes unscrewed and falls off. Could that be b/c of improper technique or b/c I also have toe guards?

[@Skatie]

It could be the toe guards. Do you have a nut that secures them? I mention in the video that the nut needs to be skate side of the fabric.

[@crazygrrl53]

@@Skatie I do! I don't know how I missed that tip 😅 Thank you for clarification! Your videos have drastically helped my improvement!

[@Mallenaudrix]

I also have toe guards. Its just become habit to bend down and tighten before I go down a scary or something. But maybe next week rainy day I’ll take my girls apart and move that nut. Loved this comment

[@seuny]

My toes bunch and it hurts when I try to walk on toe stops. I do spread my toes to start but toes just bunch up handle the weight i think. My heel is not moving around i think am wearing the right size skate anything else it could be?

[@Skatie]

It does take a bit of getting used to. Almost like going en point it’s a skill to control the skate.

[@smccoey]

Can you do a tute for what I think is called a half mape?? Your backwards bunny hop turn around jump??

[@Skatie]

Good idea! Is it just backwards to forwards you’d like? I call that a skip Jump. And then there’s a toe loop (mapes) which is backwards to backwards. I do a toe loop in the B roll of the next video we’re uploading soon.

[@oblivious_prime]

Sooooo glad my toe stops are the Allen wrench type and not one of the ones with the nut...

[@Skatie]

The adjustable toe stops are definitely great. They make life much easier. 💕🛼👍

[@stephaniebanks122]

What type of skates do you use in this video! I would to get those wheels as well!

[@Skatie]

Hi. These are a Risport Dance boot on a Roll-Line Dance Plate and these are some super old wheels from the Britney Spears Sketchers Skates in the early 2000’s. 😆 they are super soft, great for outside. .

[@roseoriana1444]

Heyy!!! So today I was practicing toe stopping for my first time, as I finished I realised my toe stop looked really worn out! Is that normal after a day of practicing?

[@Skatie]

Are you skating outside? The surfaces outside can wear your toe stops down quite quickly. To reduce wear, I do also stop by using my wheels instead of the toe stop. Have a watch of our most recent video “6 Tips For Skating Outside” where I talk about this 💕🙂🛼

@@Skatie Thank you for replying, I’ll go give it a watch now!!
