your son holding your hand and cheering you on bro 😢😢 wholesome content

very impressed with how quickly you progress! I wouldn't call you a beginner when u started crossing over and jumping. You basically did everything I learnt in a span of 5 years.

The best thing about this video is that you spend real good quality time with your kid. As a beginner skater myself, I would NEVER try all the stuff you are doing. Brute force is never a way I would want to learn anything. However, it's your body, so you get to smash it up all you like. ;-)

aye bro falling is a big part of skating for sure so the more you fall the more you learn. so keep sending it

I'm 36 and have only roller skated on quad skates, but as a 90's kid, been wanting to try rollerblading since I was 7 years old. Ordered my first pair of inline skates last night after watching this video, and I'm super excited to try it out!

I feel your pain. But also the joy. Started at 49 years old. Its fun🥰

Your evolution in such a short time is amazing! Very inspiring, I'm about to start inline skating, after over 15 years since last time I practiced properly!

We need a part 2! Im from sydney and i started urban skating about july last year. Since then ive moved to focusing on aggressive skating as i find that the most fun!

Honestly, most of the work is daring to do it! And you seem you’ve got that down. Jumping, powersliding, the fact you’re doing that so soon not afraid you’ll fall is amazing! I’ve been skating for a while and I still haven’t really figured out my powerslides, I only feel comfortable on super flat surfices and mild speed, I’m still scared. The biggest battle is 100% fear here.

You're definitely not afraid to fall, that's impressive ! I'm always slow cause I try to limit the falling part, even tho I have the protections on. But I'm pretty sure you progress faster when you just go, don't think twice and fall sometimes and try again like you do, that's really cool

Thank you for your video, Dude! It has accelerated my learning, providing both motivation and enthusiasm. As a result, I've been engaged in inline skating for two weeks now. 😊

Funny enough I also found myself starting very recently with inline skating, and only have a few months on you regrading my blading career. 1. I'd look at channels like "Flow skate." I have learnt a lot of important knowledge about things from his channel that go beyond just learning slides like T slides and parallel slides. 2. When learning I seriously suggest at times you learn backwards, understanding your inside and outside edges and how you can better use them are going to bring your skating to a whole different level (by which i mean sometimes just start with a beginner tutorial and work your way up). 3. Last I seriously suggest you look into different skating arts like slalom and aggressive. There are so many skills you can use from both areas that will overall make your skills as a power skater much more effective. 4. Find people with more experience, a general tip but a very important one. I have a hockey friend who makes me look like a new born baby learning to walk, but he still teaches me and gives me goals to reach. So if you can find some people in your area who would like to skate with you or have skated previously. and don't give up especially during these next couple cold months, you have activities to practice like one foot front, backwards, slalom techniques. The whole shabang you'll love it.

Your progress is amazing! I've been rollerblading for 2 months now and I still can't skate backwards. For me it's hard to flip from facing forward to facing backward; I always fall trying it. You should be proud of yourself :) EDIT: for me 18:18

That was awesome to watch! Love the commentary . The parelell slides at the end were actually pretty damn good! You will be a great skater in no time

Seeing his dedication makes me fall in love with this guy. Keep up . Go on.

Thanks for sharing the experience man really helpful! and i love how you found a skill to spend time with your family as well! Good job with all the shooting!

You just give me a boost to start new Hobby, your Vlog inspire me a lot, great video, great progress, and excellent vlog you have there with your kids. Thanks.

Loved this video, so interesting to see. I don't remember my own time learning how to skate, but I do remember that I also had a kind of roundabout nearby where I grew up and I did crossovers for hours on end till it became second nature.

Loved the video man! Thanks for sharing your journey!

Hahah I love how you take risks right from the start. When I first started I avoided falling at all cost so I avoided doing anything "extra" lol

Very cool to see your progress! I'm looking to start this year, at age 26. Last time I've been on anything with wheels was in my teens, so i'm pretty excited.

You inspired me! Today I'm going out with my skates (: Cheers from Argentina to you and your family!

Loved to see your journey and progress 💪🏻✨

As someone who grew up playing inline hockey and skating at the local skatepark on weekends as a kid this has really made me want to get back into the sport for some fun, great improvements in such a short amount of time dude

Very inspiring. Thank you for sharing! 👍

I ordered a pair of skates, waiting for them to arrive. Until them I am vicariously living the unboxing/try them on experience through this video! You're about as excited as I am. Side note, you're son is chill af and it's cool to see a kid hanging with his dad (brother?) with no ipad in hand, just chilling, helping you out, and having fun with the experience too. Wholesome as hell

Thank you for vlogging this. I wanna learn to skate and this was entertaining and structural to watch

I've been doing inline skate almost 13 years and I'm impressed of your progress 🌟

Hi - from NSW au. I just got my 125mm tri skate. It's really hard to balance and learn for me but this video is somewhat helpful. I'm looking forward to more of your videos.

can feel you passion, and very good progress in just 1.5 month!

That was so wholesome and relaxing to watch. But also I am hyped now

This is really amazing video. I just started learning and i got really good ideas to shoot my videos about learning and falls. Thank you for this videos.

You progressed a LOT faster than I have. Granted, you seem to spend a lot of time on dedicated skills practice and seem to have no fear of falling down. I tend to just hit the walking paths near my house and skate for many miles w/out working on anything in particular... just having fun while getting exercise. I rarely fall as I am not pushing my abilities like you are. Very impressive!

Wow! When you said that you started learning from nothing makes me don’t want to believe at all. You progressed quickly in a short span. I’m impressed. You are a natural

I was surprised how brave you were to do a jump as a beginner, cause lemme tell you jumps are the scariest thing to attempt😭💀 and you did it in your appartement(tight space) 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

I loved this one brother! Was such a cool progression to watch. You got better and better fast btw…

ur channel is very underated keep up the work!

This was a true inspiration.. thanks for the video

Great video! Thanks for sharing! 😊

Kudos to you. Very good progress in a month!

Hi Eric, I really enjoyed your video. I have such admiration for adults who take up skating. It is much more of an intuitive experience when learning as a child. Also there is a lack of fear, or maybe a lack of experience as far as consequence goes. I have been skating since I was five and am now fourty eight. Skating has brought me so much joy over the years and has helped me form some of my best friendships. I hope you have continued your skate journey and that your family join you. Hopefully you have by now discovered your local skate community and have maybe joined in with the town tours that are organised by such groups. These are great fun and are a great way to find new spots and make new skate friends and connections. I wish you many happy years of skating!

Damn bro you learned so quick, I’m inspired. I’m gonna be starting soon

My first pair of skates comes in a couple of days! Very excited to learn. Thank you for this video!

Confidence goes all long way!! You could see it right away and you clearly have great balance... Nice work.

Hey man, Pretty motivating video you've made! I'm 33 and bought my first pair of skates. Never used it before but played ice hockey for 10+ years. My issue is when I lace my skates as much as possible I feel pain outside of my feet and when I have them laced more loosely, they are comfortable but the wheels go right and left and it's hard to maneuver and do basic stuff because of the lack of balance. I guess I will have to use thicker sock and lace not too hard.

this video inspired me to buy my own skates, just ordered and am very excited

MAN EVEN THE WAY YOU FALL IS BEAUTIFUL LOL 🤣 You did really well. I wanna be a begginer like you when my skates arrive. Thanks for the video!

Please don’t stop the skate videos 🙏🏽

Thanks for the motivation! 😁

Very fast progression congratulations 👏👏👏👏

This great, so happy to see more people getting into inline skating, looks like you live just near me in Preston! You literally skated past my house haha. Hopefully I see you out skating one day, it would be good to meet a.local skater. Hope you’re still going strong and progressing

I think you're doing pretty good so far!

It's such a pleasure to watch someone commit all of their time on a hobby & keep getting better & better. Very inspiring & I may have to get some inline skates but I would probably cover myself in protective gear lol 🤣 Lovely little boy too 😊

Not gonna lie this man deserves many more subs i genuinely enjoyed this whole video and it made my day thank you sir.

Was really cool to watch this 🤗

Maaaaaate, that's epic!! I have just bought a set of inline skates in December from Bladeworx, also Melbourne!! Thanks for posting, I was a bit worried before and seeing your vid I kinda realised that all the frustration I'm having is pretty normal. Cheers AL

Very impressed!! How you learned so fast? I have a pair of those inline skates, but I still can't learn to brake! Congrats!! It look amazing!

Just watched this for the first time! About to go find out if you ever ended up going pro!

Sick video mate. You've inspired me to invest in a similar pair and try a new sport. Feeling quite nervous but excited, thanks for the inspiration and the effort that went into making this video!

Hey bro your vid gave me alot of inspiration to learn more about inline skating thanks for that

Man, I love your initiative and perseverance! I got my first Rollerblade in Munich back in 1998 and skated along the streets of Munich right away, with zero hours on, which in hindsight was a really bad idea. I definitely looked way more spastic than your sprint up the slope, which really, didn't look spastic at all. My Rollerblades are now 24 years old, and it's my birthday today, and I was thinking of getting a new pair as a gift for myself this weekend. I don't skate well, but hope to bump (not literally!) into you somewhere in Melbourne (which is where I am based at now) someday, if you're still skating these days. My cousin and wife are looking to start inline-skating too, and I hope we will work out great as a team...lol!

Great progress! Thanks for sharing!

Dude nice video, I have the same skates as you, nice this kind of videos uploading, hope skating will be more popular

This guy is a quick learner. I started rollerblading again from watching Stuttering Skater and Polly Skates videos. There are a lot of great skaters on KZfaq.

Looking forward to the update!

still a great video, I love how aggressive you were in teaching yourself. Sadly I still am afraid to fall

Awesome video!

there just something about skating man. nice video

Super nostalgic, I hope you are still riding to this day. Really enjoyed the way you divided rollerblading into different sub-skills and tackled them individually until you got better at them, even if it meant you falling over and over. I wonder if this is how you normally tackle new challenges in your life as well? Anyways, hope there's more videos from you in the future, really enjoyed this one.

The twisters are amazing skates ❤

You are nice bro! Congrats

Awesome vid my dude, i just ordered my first ever pair of skates this morning, i'll be going through all this very soon!

dope vid and progression mate good job , mine come in in about a week 😄

ERIC!!! Im glad i watch your video last night 🤙🤙 Years ago when i was younger (12-16) i skated back then but didnt learn any of the basic technique (fron-back leg turning, crossover, t-brake etc). Now that im 28, i started skating again like 3 days ago. On day 1 i was just devastated.

Man you are progressing so fast. I'm really experienced at least in terms of time (20years) and I still don't manage to do a powerstop and have to say I also have a heel break. Heal break mostly in terms of wheel drain especially because I'm living on a hill. I can plow break, t-break well and make a powerslide or fake one and spin break. But the wheel drain coming from t-stops made me use the heel break again. (im using 110mm wheels)

Wow. How could you balance on your very first try? Took me a day or two. You learned so fast. I'm on my 2nd week but still have very bad balance.

Good job. Keep it up and maybe if you get super comfortable you can try aggressive skating. Grinds and airs are so fun.

honestly you are progressing super fast. i am also learning this and i am not progressing half as fast as you do.

Well done.👍👍

U inspired us ....🙌🙌🙌

Skating is a hard sport but everyday is a new chapter of f your experience keep going and perceiver

I started about a week agio, and it's funny to see how we've come up with the same thing and little exercises. I am good on outdoor quads and figured I'd have an edge but blades are a different animal.

lovely, thank you

Just picked up a pair of twister edge x and they're instantly one of my fave skates!

Loved this video man. I've been learning to skate again in the last couple of months. So kinda watched ur vid and reminded me of what it's like. I live in Brisbane. If ur ever up this way, let's go on a city skate 😁😁

Tenacious! I bet as of today you're a pro!

you did so good when you first put them on, I coudn't even stand when I did XD getting a little bit better everyday, I also fall a lot everyday, but it's part of the process, I use protection, so I'm not afraid at all

Hey mate looks like your picking it up pretty quick I've just brought some new skates and getting back into it after 19 years I'm a bit rusty. If you want some pointers let me know

Nice work mate. Just got a pair of rollerblade Marco80's. Thanks for the inspo.

Yo nice video bro I'm doin from 4 months but recently I tried ice skating and now I forgot to Rollerblade ones let's hope I learn them again soon 😅

Wow great progress That’s a great tip - lead w your shoulders and your feet will go ‘ Thanks!

We just ordered our skates, Rollerblade Macroblade 80 for me and my wife. You really inspired me and can't wait to get on the skates. I did skate alot when I was younger so just getting back and will only do fitness, not the tricks I did as a kid.

super cool. gut gemacht!

this inspire me to wanna try

i cant believe you started off not using the brake at all . more power to you man

Jeez bro, you're doing really well for someone who hasn't skated before! I grew up in the 90s so it's in my blood almost lol (jokes).. getting my skates from Bayside too, so keen! Keep up the practice man, you're doing great 🤘

Very inspirational! So you learned on your own without any trainer - very impressive feat.

I'm on one hour after about 20 years of no skates. I'm 38. It's so scary and hard. I will get there again. This video was helpful thank you!

2 things that have certainly helped you: Finding time on a regular basis Level space to practice in Both challenges holding me back from learning currently and as I've learned, a sidewalk is not a good learning space at all. Loved the journey. On a similar one as my 4 year old learns to bike by my side 😅

Ethan knows what’s up 🤙🏻
