Outdoor skating is too scary. I want to skate to work in the future hahahahaha

This is how I've been navigating the very tricky streets of urban Chicago. Glad to know I'm on the right track

I love yout tutorials, I'm 42 and started roller skating in March, after like 30 years of not having wheels on my feet ;) . Your advise is so clear and helpful, I quickly learnt how to skate backwards, I can also more or less turn from back to front (which you say is more difficult), but I can't turn from front to back! I don't know what I do wrong, maybe I don't feel secure... Also, I can do heel-heel manual, but toe-toe is a nightmare! Lots of training ahead of me, the thing is there is no rink where I live, and the weather is not always good enough to practice. Anyway, thanks for your time and patience in teaching how to skate!

I loved the way you do tutorials, I always prefer to skate in the city than in a park and it is very difficult because of the obstacles; your advice is very helpful. Greetings from Ecuador 🇪🇨

Skatie, thank you for another amazing video. You’re my favorite model skater! Love how you’re always wearing a helmet. I love mine!

im a figure skater and picked up roller skating for some outdoor summer fun since i ice skate indoors. its been a challenge but your videos are so helpful!!

yayyy a new video! your videos has been my go to videos lately. they are very helpful. tysm 🥰

Just in time for my outdoor skating adventures! Thanks Skatie

Thank you for a high quality, miked up episode 🙌🏻

Awesome video. I was able to go over the bubbly things...once. Gotta try more

I love all you videos and they are always right on time. I just got back into skating and it has been the best thing for me ever and my age. I'm learning all over again and it's been heling me mentally and physically. Your instructions are very clear and more helpful to me on bad days. I'm not the smooth skater of yet, but I hope to get there in due time.

Great tutorial for outdoor skating... thanks Skatie 🙂

Wow~👍👍🤩🤩

Hi Skatie! I'm new to your channel. I decided to get back into skating at age 50. I do have experience skating but not outdoors and it's been years so I'm a little nervous. I truly appreciate your videos, great tips. Stopping is still kinda scary for me. I have had my skate for less than a week. I have skated three times already but have found turning to be the easiest way to stop so far. Haven't mastered using my toe stop, still figuring it out. It's just not as smooth stopping outside as it is on the rink. I have watched a few of your videos and will be referencing your channel in my skate adventures if that's ok. Thanks again for your time and the videos can't wait to binge watch everything.

Perfect timing, thanks Skatie! 😊 Love your video's! 💛 Today I will be checking out a local skating club for a group session. Someone ruined the back breaks of my bike last night so I have decided to skate there as it's only a 10 minute bike ride away. Hopefully the rougher footpath won't eat away at my wheels too much. Nice way to warm up before class 🙂 I started following you a week ago. Look forward to watching many more fun tutorials of yours 🥰 Keep up the great work!

Thanks for the tips chicky!

Watching 2 times for making the same, dear. Thank you for the video. Success~~♥️

i love your videos THANK YOU !!!

Thank you!

Thank you for posting!! I really enjoy your skating tips. My town doesn’t really have any good paths to skate on, so I just skate at the skatepark.

Great information for outdoor skating. I primarily skate outdoors these days and live in the Midwest of the US and regularly encounter surfaces that are absolutely awful 😂. The staggered stance is very important and keeping the knees bent is a must. I will regularly skate over textured patches by intersections on sidewalks and patches of paved by brick. On top of the staggered stance I will also focus my body weight on the heels of my skates. This is also helpful in areas where the surface may be groomed but you encounter things like sand and pebbles. The weight on the toes significantly increases the chances of tripping. I also incorporate plenty of hopping that you might find is beneficial as you progress. Try this from the staggered stance and be sure to land in the staggered stance. Scissoring is something I also do a lot of and is great for powering through series of cracks even at high speeds. Scissoring with the weight focus on the heels is pretty stable and trustworthy. I regularly skate over a few boardwalk style bridges at high speeds doing this. Over time you’ll know what is probably going to make you trip and you’ll always know what to do it just takes time. Skating on less than ideal surfaces has it’s cons such as there are certain things I just won’t work on or do, such as a lot of backwards skating but it will make you a much more adaptive and sure footed skater. So if and when I ever do make it to a rink, it’s nothing but a pure treat because I don’t have to worry about any of it and can focus on some moves.

After your previous video I bought also outdoor heliums, and they are very good and kind to me even as a beginer, (i was circling around them for a while). Now i know, and see them in this video also. Lot of things in this video are very important for new skaters outside (ME), often no one of us has perfect surface on backyard and these "real" surfaces are everywhere. I am adding to the vote - path element i hate also the most, are those (elevated) "dots". While going through brick path, i also go diagonal when they are in perpendicual arangement or shape, then it is not that punishing. Thank you for the video!

Thanks you.

Unfortunately I injured my left hamstring outdoor skating this week . I was in a staggered stance with my left foot forward and skating across a bridge knees bent as the lead leg left the bridge it kicked out in front of me and instead of straightening my lead leg 🦵 I tried to flex my knee to pull my skate back towards me and pulled my hamstring !

Great video Katie! Very appropriate! Took a fall over the bumpy things last week. What is the best way to transition from the bumpy things to the street back to the bumpy things?

Katie, please can you do a video on skate walking/fast feet

Im still skating inside cause i alaways get anxious when people look at me outside while practicing and i start stumbling

Hi Skatie! I have a question. Which would be better for beginners to practice roller skating, indoors or outdoors? I really love your videos! I just bought my roller skates last week and I came across your channel and I'm learning a lot from you! Thank you very much!

oh! guess no shame in doing the skate walk sometimes, thank you!!!!

Hi Katie! What is the best practice/THE way to skate on one foot going backwards? I can only keep my balance for like 2 seconds before I have to put my foot down to keep my balance

Hi! I’ve just watched some of your videos for beginners, and I was wondering what the height of the heel on the skates depends on. Do all of them have heels or are some of them “flat”? What’s the difference? Thanks!☺️

I have two skates, inline and roller, so I ride once a week~~And my age is 49

Do you have a tutorial showing how to do that 180 turn? I’m wanting to master it but can’t seem to do it 😅😭

Hi, Skatie! Do you know any good skates I can get for outside? My skates are strictly for the rink and I want to skate outside for more practice since the rink is only open on the weekends. Many thanks! :)

Thank you for the tips x Can I ask what wheels you are using? I'm curious about the wheel width. . . .

How about we skaters all get our cities more skate friendly?! Yes!

Skating outside is like a punch in the gut after skating indoors LOL. Question for @skatie - my skates have 85A wheels, which were described as hybrid and fine for outside, but I can definitely feel every slight variation in the surface - making me very wobbly - and pebbles take me down. Basically, I feel like I can't skate at all 😞 I know it comes down to personal preference, but in your experience, could I get used to 85A outside relatively quickly (I know it will vary by person, but just on average), or would a gummier wheel be better when outside since I'm still a beginner?

Hello Katie I love your videos I don't understand everything because I'm French but the visual is great I have a problem I've been rollerblading for 20 days 30 minutes or even 1 hour after 5 minutes when I roll my right foot burns me all the time I tried thin / thick / special roller socks to loosen my rollerblades / to tighten well I do not understand I have to stop and rest my foot, it gives me a burning, tearing sensation under the thumb and on the side of the foot my skates are the "oxelo 100 adult" decatlhon do you think it's my right leg or right foot that will have a problem? or rollerblading? I took a size above my shoe size please help me i don't want to stop Can't wait to see your next videos!!!

I hate skating outside but it is my only option around here 🥲 the sidewalk is all cement and pebbles. and the street is made of blocks. any type for that? i cant skate smoothly and I am getting frustrated I won’t be able to improve

Can you do a tutorial on scissors please Katie

Hi, which quad do you use, please? Sorry for my English, I'm italian

Inlines :)

I tested rollerskates at the store and if it wasn't for my grandma I would've fell on my butt

do you have more videos on the emergency stop? of not can we have a lesson about it please 🥺

Dear, PLEASE where can I buy 75A quad wheels?

Do you skate in wet weather? Obviously puddles and wet tree debris are hazards but what about just wet pavement, is it safe?

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏thankyou

uk pavements are not rollerskate friendly
