Love your videos man ★★★★★

Thanks son. I'm 72, havent' skated since age 17, maybe some random ice rink in there. Taking the grandkids and making a fool. This is the most helpful guidance I have seen so far. Nicely done.

Falling is good!! I like that!! Thank you. Knee and elbow pads are needed for me.

You seem like a really cool chill dude. I love all the mid west style skating

If KZfaq video had been out back in the late 70's we could have said everything you just talked about, I'm 58 and we learned about all this on the fly.

The coldest skater & speaker in his error 💪🏾👌🏾🎯💯 This guy knows his Stuff great speaker….🙏🏾🙌🏾👆🏾🍾

You the best sk8 informer out there. Thank youuuu

Great advice and thanks for talking about falling. I fall and people act so terrified. I mean I am in full protective gear, lol. Honestly, it gives me the adrenalin to get back up and keep trying whatever I am doing.

Musle memory is important. Especially when you are an older skater. Yes this my 2nd time watch it!😁

You aint never lie thank you for the gems of knowledge 🙏

Great info- I liked the part about practicing without skates and your demos on each side of your presentation. Thank you

Super validating that everything you suggested is everything I'm already doing (with the exception of calf raises, which I'll probably start doing now since my ankles need all the help they can get). I was watching this while switching out my wheels sooo time to go to the park.

Great tips. Thank you!

Nice imagery in video as well as knowledgeable content. Really like what you said about practice with no skates on and shifting body weight, Took me a long while to figure that one out. Thanks for vid!!!

you are generous AF thanks man.

I really enjoy your content! I’m a beginner skater and I skate parks, and outdoors as well but I have so much more to learn about our culture and styles across the country in rink skating! I love it😍

I fell when I first got in the rink yesterday because I was really relaxed and I clipped wheels together and fell on my left knee. It was cool though because I I never feel that relaxed, I was really comfortable with my weight and I guess that it was a sign of me being less stiff. It made me think we'll at least i know how to fall and get up comfortably. Yeah! I finally did crossover turn properly. I usually just relied on my trucks and would lean to turn but I wanted to turn quicker. Love you videos, wonderful explanations.

You think you could make some POV videos of you skating around the rink doing some of the basic JB moves? Just videos of your legs and feet at a medium or slow pace. It will make some of us feel like we are skating with you and I can learn the moves better. I am also trying to learn the edges of the skates so I can understand how the skates respond to certain moves. Thanks !

So when I first seen this an never thought to practice without the skates but it makes sense. What I did is after my run on the treadmill I would decrease the speed to about 1.5 mph and walk backwards and spin around switching directions and slowly increase the speed. Never more than like 2.5 but man that really helped my balance and maneuvering around. Thank you for the tip I just took it in my own direction and damn it helps.

Very well done!! Great tips

That calf raise advice is so good. When I started skating really hard I noticed I would get the worst shin splints! How am I just now finding your channel?! I wish I could make it out to Milwaukee or Chicago there are so many awesome skaters and skate venues out there. Madison is sorely lacking. I’ve been frantically looking for a local roller dance group, no go. It’s like, here, if you don’t want to do the derby thing and for the most learn how to try to hit people who are on skates while you’re on skates without falling. They have an introductory skating class but I outgrew that half way through the class. I’m not trying to shit on the league, those people taught me a SHIT TON about skating, gear, safely falling, upkeep of equipment (maybe not so much but that’s fine with me I know how to maintenance my skates for the most part). I want to feel more comfortable working with the plate itself but that’s for another day. Also, they have a bunch of talented skaters but teaching people how to skate is another ball of wax. Sorry for venting, you’re a super talented skater. I know my husbands gonna dig watching your content, he loves the footwork stuff. It would just be cool to have more of a skating community. Like I park skate but even that is heavily influenced by the derby in Madison. I’m not PC enough for them. It’s funny, too, because these women preach inclusivity but I saw very few faces like mine there or people who didn’t think like them. I’m just a sad and broke skating outcast 😢😭😤😭😭😪🤧🙄 ok I think I’m done.

Im so happy I found your videos, I kept looking up certain skating videos, and it seems like there are no black channels and I wanna learn from the best!!❤️

Great advice skate fam. Keep spreading the Gospel.

Much respect.👍🏿 I'm taking off the roller blades and bout to start my roller skating journey. Keep posting, people like me appreciate the advice. Peace.

Good stuff! Everything you said is on point!

What you're talking about at 2:30 is exactly what I'm doing right now with my setup. I started on $100 skates with the stock hybrid wheels, as soon as I started skating outside I bought outdoor wheels and a set of good bearings. A few months later when I could recognize how my rink skating style was evolving I bought a set of harder wheels and better bearings for them than the shit stock bearings. Now 5 months later I'm ready to get a new plate, which I'll get used to while I save for new boots. I can't afford the $800 setup I want right now so I'm breaking it down as I go.

I want to learn all regions , Im from Atlanta and Im impressed with all the moves from everywhere!!

Okay cuzzo I see you salute... I'm sending ppl your way.. Watch

Me and my daughter need some tips. I fall all the damn time lol! I’m supporting you brotha! Good dude right here!

Yes you have to get your own skates...it’s a must....Good advice Sk8 Fam...see u on the wood 👍🏽

Can u make a video of your skating showing how to control your balance and how to not move when not skating?

Gotta luv the style of jb it's just so smooth. I can snap,house, shuffle, and stride but jb is one the styles I like the most.

You are so meek and humble

Very helpful and informative video! Thank you so much😌

Could you do a video about wheels and bearings? And how to properly adjust your skates.

My friend put me on! I’ve only been skating for like 2 months and people think I’ve been skating for years lol I love it! I learned how to skate backwards in 2 weeks. I don’t even think I’m that nice but people record me and speak when they see me outside the rink!

Thank you for this video !! 💪🏾

Wht up Sk8 Fam been following your Vidz-Thanks for this one and Even though its like almost 3 yrs old Lol none less very good advice and on Point as usual no doubt..! ;-)

I feel like the Midwest is the best to do it!

Great job bro

Very great breakdown....thanks

Very well done indeed

PREACH IT 🤗💒 RIGHT ON POINT 💒🤗 SO SO TRUE 🤗💒

AWESOME tips! Thanks Sir.

Thanks😩

Super helpful!!!!

"Everybody falls". Can I get an amen?

Thank you for the advices - sorry about the dum sound comment before - lol - Have a great day:)))

Respect

Very helpful information, thank you

Good tips, thanks! I'm a new skater - inlines - but interested in maybe learning skate jamming / trying roller skates, too. A lot of your advice holds true for inlines, too, from what I've observed and experienced. One tip from inliine urban skater Bill Stoppard, I think (on KZfaq: Bill Stoppard BSS): include upper body strength training. It can help reduce the severity of injury in falls. ; )

Thanks for great advice!

Thanks bro! This was some good tips

LA has the coldest skating and smooth!

Hi I skated back in the day, now I’m 56 and back at it but a little rusty. Can’t backward skate anymore, had an accident with a little girl, hit the floor pretty hard. My problem is turning, I want to learn how to turn to backward skate, any tips for that? Fresno

Any suggestions on a good indoor wheel for my vnla speed skates?

Thank you from 🇬🇧❤️

A1 quality 🔥

I'd just finished watching again the video on the grapevine, and was wondering as I watched if it would help to do it without skates on, just to get the moves down. And then you mentioned it here! Yeah, that muscle memory, it would still help burn it in. And it can be done anywhere. Having these tutorial videos will really help people without access to experienced skaters. And, you mentioned different regional styles. Here's one from when I first picked up on skating again.(Other than two summers as a kid a long time ago.)New Jersey. You might know this one. All my exposure to real skating comes from videos, but I haven't seen anything else like this for a while. Great style! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iaymi72gucmxhHU.html

Do you have tips on backwards skating?

yo iv been saving for a "cheap" pair of skates for like a year now , being a kids tough man . iv been skating rentals the whole time and id like to say iv gotten pretty good considering , i landed my first single axle last month actually

Where did you get your outdoor wheels from and what are they called?

Thank you!

ok whats up with the stringing is it for looks I see that a lot of ppl string theres loose but never ask why and how do you feel about the 172 setup I know we can skate in anything no matter what there suppose to be made for. Good tips but are you going to break down certain moves on skates? lots of questions huh lololol

Do U teach one on one?

Did your buy your skates from your rink?

I am a new subscriber! I want to learn how to skate like a pro! What brand of skates do you recommend? Thanks in advance 😊

What wheels do you recommend for jb style dance? Do you have to use the boot or can you use speed skates to dance?

Question... are cyclone wheels good?

Does high top compared to low tops effect anything
