Balancing On Roller Skates - Getting Control Of Your Roller Skating Fundamentals

Рет қаралды 47,922

Күн бұрын

Hi, This is a great one for when you're just starting out roller skating with the bonus that you can do it in a small space too.
As always keep yourself safe, even if you're just in the house on carpet you and still fall awkwardly or hit a piece of furniture as you fall so make sure to pop on that safety gear.
Have fun and happy rolling.

Thank you!! I have had skates for about a year now and only used them a couple of times because every time I fell my mum would come rushing towards me saying if I was ok and freaking out lol 😂 I stopped after spraining my wrist because I landed weirdly 🤦‍♀ but I think I want to start again You're boosting my confidence so much, thank you!! xx

@@Skatie Thank you so much, I've been practising again and I can sort of skate forward now, I'm using the bending technique where you can't see your feet and I've got way more balance than when I used to do it without bending my legs a lot ❤💕💕

Thanks for putting out these essential tips. I'm re-learning a lot of skating fundamentals from your lessons. I skated a lot during my tween-age years then I got busy with life and there was a span of almost 60 years before I decided to put on skates again. I immediately realized that unlike bicycling, skating skills are perishable. I'm almost 71 years old and physically active with cycling - pedal and motor. I crave the flow of winding motion and skating has it in spades.

I used to do aggressive inline as a teen. Jumping stairs, and racing in the street. As an adult, I sadly had multiple vertigo episodes out of nowhere and tinnitus; it’s horrible. My balance hasn’t been the same ever since. Having to watch these videos now cause I just ordered roller skates and I also love my skateboard and longboard. Thank you for these tips.

I feel like I'm not really progressing due to really awful knee pain. Do you have any advice on how to mange/reduce the pain from bending my knees to get balance?

@Skatie 2 жыл бұрын

Unfortunately skating is heavy on the knees. Perhaps you could talk to your doctor or a chiropractor etc and see if they could recommend a good knee support or a taping method to support your knees. I hope you find something to help xx

Can i do these drills using 78a outdoor wheels?

@Skatie 3 күн бұрын

100%. You might just find your roll stops a little sooner. As the wheels won’t glide as long as harder wheels.

@thatssojasmine. 2 жыл бұрын

I have so much trouble just moving cause the wheel are just so slippery anyway to fix that? Like could I tighten my wheels so they don’t rotate as much?

@Skatie 2 жыл бұрын

Do you know what skates you have ? Wheels come in different hardness ratings. So it will be interesting to see what rating your wheels are.

@thatssojasmine. 2 жыл бұрын

@@Skatie I have riedell juice skates but I have the luminous wheels which I believe are 85A hardness

@Skatie 2 жыл бұрын

85a is quite a soft wheel so they should be grippy but it greatly depends on what surface you’re skating on. Generally outside they’ll be grippy and at most rinks but if you’re in a house on a laminate floor for instance I think most wheels feel slippy on this type of surface. You can slightly over tighten the wheel nuts to reduce roll if you’re having trouble.

@thatssojasmine. 2 жыл бұрын

@@Skatie I was outside on concrete and a basketball court and had the same slippery feeling. I’m gonna try tightening the nut so it doesn’t roll as much. Thank u

@Skatie 2 жыл бұрын

Definitely work on the drills in this video for balancing. You need to be really secure and have a good rolling speed on one leg forwards and backwards before you try the waltz jump.
