Watch part 2 here: • LEARNING TO ROLLERSKAT...
This is part 1 of 2 of a pretty thoroughly documented roller skating journey for the first 30 days. Prior to this video I had no rollerskating or rollerblading experience. I hope you all enjoy watching the process as much as I did experiencing it. Who knew roller skating could be so fun?!

Naw never feel bad for feeling uncomfortable or unsafe! Every grown man KNOWS it's not okay to approach a girl by herself or approach their car, they are fully aware that it makes an uncomfortable situation for the girl. And if it is unintentional and they can see they made you feel uncomfortable, any decent guy wouldn't then try to approach you and talk to you even more.

If any guy or anyone in general what’s to talk to a stranger they thing is cute or whatever the reason don’t creep around and slowly get closer cause in the situation the person will feel uncomfortable and leave before u get the chance to talk, just go straight up to them, introduce yourself first and just be straight up about ur intentions. I remember I went to Florida and we went to Walmart and my aunt was calling my name telling me hurry and there was a guy probably just outta high school or still in but (in this guys defense I do look older and my is only 23) but he said “hey Kaliyah” cuz he over heard my name but firstly that’s creepy then he asked my age no introduction or anything and I simply said I’m 15 walked away and my aunt got me outta there and to my mom as fast as she could moral of the story just don’t be creepy

I noticed a guy at the park, he was walking towards me, I quickly took off my skates, I didn’t even put my shoes on & I just started running to my bf’s house because his house was super close to the park. I cried because I was so scared but I was glad that I made it.

Plus they would say if you know that you’re uncomfortable & unsafe, just leave. That what I did, I didn’t want him to say hi to me because I wouldn’t say anything to him, I don’t know how he was going to take that but I remember a girl got killed because guy was catcalling her but she ignored him then he raped her & killed her.

When you are a "newbie" (I'm talking in anybodys perspective) in roller skating you are an easy target to ANYBODY. It wouldn't shock me if he was watching you to see if you were good at skating and if you could run from him. Just be aware of your surroundings people.

Scissors and transitions on day 8?!?! You are a goddess. I was easily on my skate for weeks before I even tried transitions while rolling and didn't learn scissors until day 65. I skate abround 1 or 2 hours everyday. You're so brave to take so many falls, it probably helped you learn a lot faster. I hardly ever fall, but because I'm so tentative, it takes me a lot longer to learn everything.

The fear of falling definitely holds me back from trying a lot of new tricks but I feel a lot safer when I'm wearing my protective gear! Thanks so much for the kind words, I've been feeling like my progress has slowed down the past few days. We all learn at a different pace and that's okay :') best of luck to you! 💞

When you want to do the bubbles backwards move both of your feet like you do when your going forward. When you think about it, it sounds hard but once you know how to do it then you will keep it. I learned the skill in one day so I didn’t have a hard time doing it but going forward for me is hard 😂. Here’s a tip for going backwards with the transitions keep ur feet opposite from each other (both feet face each other at the toes) then you go backwards while keeping ur feet like that and also put weight on ur feet so you can move

Tip! (For those who are still learning how to roller skate) If you start learning how to roller skate then do it in your house or in a rink. The floor is then more smooth. And if u mastered it then try to do it outside(if you start to try to rollerskate outside then the floor is then not really smooth and you will fall then a lot. So first do it inside and then outside!)

Geez, I'm so sorry you had that interaction with that guy. In no way were you being extreme, that guy was being suspicious af. On a brighter note: Your tenacity in learning this new skill is inspiring.

We have all been where you were! And also welcome in the community of non-ice skating! Although my background is in inline skating, I hope my feedback will help you perfect your technique. 1. Posture: Although anyone naturally wants to stand tall, one has to slightly bend the knees and move the upper body forward; 2. 360-degree spins: Use your arms and shoulders for steering. I would recommend watching some figure skating tutorials on how to perform a two-feet spin; 3. Great scissors! You are starting to build your foundation prior to mastering crossovers; 4. 180-degree switch: Use your head, shoulders and, if necessary, arms to steer your body; 5. 180-degree switch part 2 (see day 10): keep knees bent after the transition. This will keep your center of gravity low; 6. Great use of the garage (day 12) for learning the c-cuts we use for skating backwards! Don't swing your arms fly in every possible direction. 7. C-cuts on day 14 and 15: Getting better!

I know this was months ago but girl, that dude makin you feel uncomfortable? Don’t ever feel bad that you’re being suspicious and assuming - as they say on MFM, “F*** politeness.” You can always apologize later for protecting yourself. It’s not assuming or being suspicious of there’s evidence of that happening to tons of other people. I’m so glad you listened to your instincts and kept yourself safe!!!

I dont usually watch roller skating videos as i got into inline skating but i think its cool to expand my understanding of skating and connect with the entirety of the community! I really love that you felt so driven to practice consistently and always have a focus going out when training. I can see how much you began to develop comfort of falling and confidence as skating often teaches. You cant learn unless youre willing to risk falling! And regards to your safety, its good you noticed and its good to be aware in regards to skating and in general. Safety is super important and im glad u noticed this before things got bad. I had times i was night skating and i had a car pull up and made a comment (that seemed a bit snarky) and drove off. Later on i see 2 cars waiting for me in the corner of the street i acknowledged the cars to indicate i notice them, and did a 180 and skater back and took a route they couldnt with cars. So definitely feel that sense of fear when youre on skates you cant fully control on wheels dealing with sketchy people. Also i guess i out myself in that situation especially since my area is pretty sketchy. But i somehow like the thrill. I skated at until 12am so ice seen some sketchy people during the night. But at the same tome its so peaceful. Hahaha be safe! Keep skating

I haven’t skated in a long time and I used to roller blade like your friend and not quad skate. It was something I would do with my mom I really want to get roller skates but not gonna lie I’m super embarrassed to skate publicly. I live on an overseas military base all the roads are SUPER SUPER smooth, perfect for skating, there is even a small skate park that like no one uses. But military wives are super judgy and I’m afraid of someone calling me out for it.

hey, i’m writing this halfway through the video, so you might already know this by now, but bending your knees HELPS SO MUCHHH!!! i did figure skating (on wood and quads, not ice, i do ice now though) and bending your knees help you balance so much. plus, another way to stop, without a toe stop btw, though i haven’t skated on concrete and rough surfaces so it might wear down your wheel, but by dragging your foot and wheel, it’ll bring you to a stop. i hope i was helpful!! 💖

Roller skating was literally my childhood. I haven’t done it in a very long time now. It’s honestly weird to see someone struggling with rolling forward because it comes so naturally to me. I can’t even remember the time when I wasn’t stable on roller skates, because I must have been like 4 years old. But anyways, you’ve made great progress. You look elegant on roller skates!

I’ve been skating for a few days ( 5 days ) now, and I’m still using that trainer thing. Thankfully I haven’t broke any limbs yet, though i fall a lot 😅. Even though i run somewhat very fast.. i can’t get the hang of it quite yet. Im addicted to rollerskating now, and i hope i can stop using the training thing. I know this was 2 years ago, and I’m watching this two years later. Watching this video gave me motivation and confidence, Thank you.

When I learned how to backwards skate, I sprained both my ankles. I did not let that stop me. I had to wrap both ankles with ace bandages before each skating session. It took about 3 months for the sprains to heal. I kept skating the entire time. By the time my ankles healed I was very comfortable with turning around and skating backwards. I love this video. Thanks for doing this series.

It saddens me that you can't go out and do simple things without something happening. I myself want to take up roller skating again (which is why I'm here) and/or skateboarding, but I'm scared to be distracted for even a second. I have a neighbor that lives a second house down that always watches me when I'm outside. The first time we saw one another, he was walking up his driveway and I was going to the side of the house to throw some trash away. He literally stopped in his tracks and waited for me to come back and watched as I walked into the house. Then I'd gone shopping another day and again, he didn't take his eyes off me while pretending to mess around with his truck. And then unfortunately he caught me coming home from work, but I had some errands to run, so I didn't stay long. However, when I came back he was still outside, sitting in his garage, but when I pulled up, got out, and began walking up the driveway, I felt like I was being watched so I turned around and sure enough there he was. He had stood up from his chair and walked to the edge of the garage just to look at me. I'm already a paranoid person so having that happen repeatedly just put even more anxiety in me. I look for him before I step out of the house every time, and he's one of the reasons I don't feel comfortable practicing anything around my own home. But anyways, I enjoyed watching your video and development. You're so brave to post all your falls! ❤️ I could never lol.
