Start with Why...
Welcome to Keep Rolling, I'm Chris Chadwick and on this channel I'm making videos about aggressive and big wheel inline skating. I'm making product reviews, skate vlogs and discussion of all things blading, so if that sounds like something that interests you be sure to hit subscribe.
I've been skating for 20 years and started this channel with 3 main aims:
1. To keep people enthused and active in skating
2. To be a positive and approachable ambassador for our sport
3. Make a positive contribution to the digital footprint of inline skating.
I love to skate and want to see the industry continue to thrive and grow. I hope my channel can inspire people to pick up skates or feel enthused to get out more often.
Disclaimer
Inline Skating is dangerous and can result in serious injury or loss. I fully recommend the use of full protective gear to reduce the risk of injury. Skate at your own risk. You are responsible for your actions while skating or attempting to implement the guidance in one of my tutorials. Sometimes i choose to skate without protective gear at my own risk.
Thanks for watching!

What are your tips for progressing faster or learning a new trick?

I recognised the Great Yarmouth park. Ultra small, yet fun :)

Great tips! What also helped me when coming back and learning the basics was having a p-rail in the basement and drilling stalls, especially during wintertime. If you haven't got a basement, any 1m rail you can bring out or any curb will do. Even when I wasn't really skating because of bad weather or time constraints, I was able to train my muscle memory.

Thanks Tim 😁 Definitely it's all about enjoying yourself at the end of the day. Although I will admit, sometimes I tolerate a less than fun process to get a trick landed because the reward at the end is worth it!

@@chrischadwick1 Thank you! 😊 Yeah, learning a new trick or skill isn't always a pleasure in itself, but the harder it is to land it, the bigger the reward. At least, that's how I experience it.

Great Tips and i agree a 100% with that list. Only thing i find a bit scary is, if you hurt yourself seriously there is nobody to help when you skate alone. Had that last year with my crucial ligament torn. Not so funny to get back into the car and drive home alone. Ah, i have a nother Tip, I recognized if i explain tricks to other people i make huge steps forward with my own skating. Greetz

Agreed, it would suck to injure yourself on a solo session. I always have a phone but none the less!

I absolutely despise learning how to skate coping, it is zero fun to me BUT I really, really want to have a least a few tricks because the idea of being able to skate coping IS really fun, and seeing people skate coping well looks amazing and would just be generally useful to have. If that makes sense hah.. I'm going to have to commit eventually and just learn it but MY GOSH it just kills me every time. Maybe a caveat to the last point is sometimes you have to sacrifice fun in order to have more fun in the future, or maybe I just hate learning coping too much haha

@chrischadwick1 2 жыл бұрын

Oh ma, yeah learning to skate coping is a massive ball ache but the rewards are definitely worth it. Your right, sometimes you have to grit your teeth and work hard for the long term gain. I definitely finish some tricks and think 'thank god that's over' haha

@ThatShaunBoy 2 жыл бұрын

@@chrischadwick1 hah, I've definitely had those moments! during self filming especially (which is a brilliant point by the way, the amount of times I've redone annoying tricks to the point of now having them on lock. It's how I learned most wizard stuff to be honest hah)

@chrischadwick1 2 жыл бұрын

@@ThatShaunBoy yeah its so helpful. Yeah ive been meaning to ask you about how you learnt your wizard moves. Iv'e watched the Rollerbalding tutorial but i haven't found many others that have been that helpful. Any tips or content recommendations? :)

@ThatShaunBoy 2 жыл бұрын

@@chrischadwick1 I discovered that one late on but always noted it as basically the ONLY wizard tutorial.. there's some old Shaun Unwin videos that explain the basic moves too but they're not super clear from memory. It was honestly just watching videos in slowmo and trying to copy it, once I learned the gazelle everything came from that. Once you learn that and understand how inside and outside edges work (which is a constant leaning process) almost everything else is just a variation of that. Also, a couple of years ago I visited Canada and got to skate with Unwin and Leon which blew my mind, learnt some of the fundamentals a lot better and those one footed "S" curves
