I gottta try stepping plow

Who likes my filming ?

I'm 53 and starting. It's not going as planned. I was a great roller skater..this is a little hairy/scary to fall so far. Grass, here I come

So impressed that you talked through this entire tutorial while doing everything

when I was a kid, I could skate and stop so easily, I tried roller blading a few weeks ago first time since I was 17 (so like 15 years later) and WOW I sucked lol .. but this video is reminding me some tricks. I am going to try it again soon. thanks

this was genuinely an extremely helpful video. when I searched for beginners roller blading videos, this was exactly what I was hoping to find :)

You're such a good teacher!! To me, your videos are the only ones that explain how to do skating essentials without confusing me!! Thank you !

Thank you so much, Polly. I just started skating, and this was very helpful ❤

I like to do the lemon drops because there actually quite fun to do on cruising !

Looks so easy and effortless when you do it, Polly. Tried just the T-stop today. No chance at all to keep the back foot in any sort of coherent position relative to the front foot. But then it was my first time trying so I guess I'll just keep trying. Thanks for showing all the various ways!

By far this is the best tutorial on KZfaq I’ve seen for roller blades stops. Thank you so much. This will help me for roller hockey.

Very good content thank you. I do like how you link different techniques as parts of a whole slowing down/ stopping skill.

Hey! Such good timing 😊 I started rollerblading since I saw your short videos. Very inspiring and you make them seem too easy. I can currently move forward and do glides, yet I dont know how to stop. Been trying to do plow stop, but it feels like something is ripping down there 😂 Hope to give more update soon! Thank youuuuuuu 🥰

I've never skated in my life but I'm thinking of trying it out, maybe in a few weeks if my back pain has subsided enough. Thanks for the tips!

Thanks polly ,love your videos by the way

Great tutorial. Your description at around 1:50 is to the point. It happens to me all the time during my practice. But i didn't realise that it can be because of the pressure. Thanks for that. I took a 4 hour course here in Switzerland. Inline Skating is one experience which really humbled me. After a few hours of practice i still am unable to manage to stop without falling. After that & watching few tutorials in KZfaq my opinion is that most of the tutorials or even teachers are not focussing on the baby steps of Inline Skating. Like if you are learning a language or any other sport you spend few hours doing nothing serious but just learning super simple stuff. Whereas with skating i feel somehow these baby steps are missing and right away we are trying to just skate. Eventually we may get it. But it seems to me a bit crude way of learning. I can be wrong though. Or maybe there are people who are doing it in a very detailed manner and i dont know them. This is in no way criticism on you or anyone. Just I am grateful for the opportunity to learn from generous people like you. Thanks again !!

Your video is very helpful for a 30+ yrs old guy, who is trying to pick up the fun from childhood. I haven't been playing rollerblades for almost 20 years, now I gain a little bit confidence before going out of my garage😅

Nagyon hasznos gyűjtemény, kivaloan szemléltetve! Thank you!🙏

Thank you so much! A lot of us need this tutorial! 🎉

Thank you for putting all this together.

Excellent training!!

This was super helpful with your notes on where you are applying pressure

Thank you for this! I loved skating as a kid, and am trying to pick it back up after ~20 years. I went out for the first time yesterday but I was too scared to go fast because I couldn't figure out how to stop safely!! The heel brake wasn't working very well for me, so I would just squat and put my hands on the ground to stop 🤣 I'm excited to get back out there and practice these safer (and less lame) stops instead!!!

OMG thanks so much Polly it really helped me as a beginner love you!!!

Good morning, my beautiful, diligent teacher. Your lesson today is excellent, at the best level, thanks to you😍😍😍😍

Thanks for the great videos and effort! The slides in the end got me hyped and I'd like to learn how to. Are we gonna see more about slides in the channel?

My rollerblades just came in. lol, I used to roller blade back when I was a kid, actually preferred them over roller skates for when my friends would have parties at the skating rink. Some of the kids in my family are starting to get into having birthday parties at skating rinks and what sort of fun uncle would I be if I didn't skate with them occasionally? Your videos are great not just for beginners but as a refresher too.

Bought roller blades and went out on them yesterday. They're aggressive skates with no stopper, and I'm a beginner! My gosh. Aggressive is definitely the word. Thanks for the video, going to practice the plow stop all day tomorrow, as stopping is what I'm finding the most difficult. Plus my feet and lower leg aches. Video has been a great help. Thanks

Hi Polly, I skate on quads but love your videos. You're an awesome instructor and explain techniques in detail. Blessings.

Practical advice; very well-explained.

ty : ) relearning inline skating has kicked my ass but this helped a lot

You are a genius! thanks for the vid! ♥

Thank you so much ❤

You are a classic skatter.We need more tutorial from you. Would you plz upload more tutorials about power stop,power slide,side surfing?Need your attention about this.Love from Bangladesh.

Thank you for this, been going to the skate park to practice and I'll try some of these when I'm there next.

GREAT video, thank you, Polly, i'll use all the ideas

A natural athlete

Thank You Polly your tricks are very helpful for me first I will only know how to do heal break. Now from your videos I have learnt different types of breaks and don’t forget even the tricks now I am really good at getting in my class I am in 4th and I am a fan from India

Stepping plow looks like magic - so smooth that my brain probably can’t comprehend how it works until I try it

Thank you!!!❤❤❤

This 6 minutes video gave me material for training like for the next two years LOL. Thank you Polly!

🎉❤love it!

Thank you this was helpful❤

This is so beyond helpful

Thanks, it's very informative! I love that you explain WHY some things work or not. I still have big problem with stopping (or at least slowing down) when going downhill with very narrow space available. Do you have some tips for that kind of a situation? 🙏

Excellent driving 👌

Omg thank you do much

So nice inline skating

I am fan of the way you talk and teach skating

Great content. Thank you!

I did the face slide once. It was epic!

Thank you so much, Polly.

What are good stretches you do after rollerblading? I stretch a lot but rollerblading the other day has shown me muscles I didn't even know my calves had lol it's like the sides of my calves are tender . . . nonetheless, awesome videooo. Gonna rewatch!

thx a lot, Im a grown up beginner and need help a lot these days 😉

So everyone got new skates?

i tried all your tips but it's hard and different when im in the actual it my day one practicing 🥰

Most of the time I've skated was on wood or "checker tile", and half of these I didn't realize existed. Even then, I do sometimes have a slightly crooked form during certain sessions.

Thank you for your videos and your positivity ! I can only practice in an indoor arena, I am intermediate and I would love to start slaloming, any advice for small exercices to start with ?

Thank you Polly! This is very helpful. What sakes are you wearing in this video? They look comfortable.

Great video. I'm a beginner.

This is so helpful! Could you make a new video about what kind of skates to get? I’m looking for some new ones, but I don’t know which ones to get. I’m a beginner rollerblader too so this is really helpful. Thanks again!

Thanks 🎉

Hi! I don't know if you'd replied to comments on a video from this long ago, but I'm having trouble stopping with the plow stop. I can't get myself to actually fully stopp, I keep rolling forward a little and sometimes trip over my angled blades. How do I get that proper A shape just right to actually stop the rolling fully? Thank you!

I am a beginner and this really helped although i have to do it inside sometimes

This is so helpfull.

Thanks!

Wish I had a nice path like that around!

Such great info - this video is super helpful as a beginner! I'm learning to use my heel brake, but I end up turning with it unintentionally. 😅

is there a specific reason you remove the heel brake? i have one on my rollerblades but i notice you don't and i wonder why :)

I’ve been blading for years, mostly as a way to get places too and just realized I use the heel break wrong. I drag it behind me, but I’m also left handed, could this be a factor? I honestly don’t know if I’d be able to even un learn it if I but a break on the left side

Magic slide!

thank you! also those skates look fantastic, what are those?

Thanks

Thanks Polly

Ich probiere es gleich heute aus. Wünscht mir Hals und Beinbruch. 🎉

Do you recommend wearing a helmet as a learner/beginner? Because I wear wrist protection, and knee pads but I’m not really a beginner, but for beginners do you think they should wear helmets and lots of protection?

I remember trying a T stop, but I put my foot in front of me instead so I ented up rolling forwards into a ditch. Thank god for my backpack cushioning my roll. I still remember laying there for a moment just catching my breath and this old lady stopped her car and offered me a ride home even when I said I wasn't injured.

I luv you

I looked this up after I sailed into a holly bush 😊

I remember slipping on sand at high speed years ago and scraping all the skin off one of my calves 😖😵. Stay away from sandy sidewalks lol

Do you have any videos on falling safely? Last time i roller bladed i broke my wrist trying to catch myself. I really want to get into it again to run my dog but I am nervous about breaking my wrist again

4:04 that’s me

0:52 檸檬跳跳， 1:40 T減速+錯誤， 3:29 轉彎減速， this is jz for my own use.🎉

Im a bit scared to do a lemon drop or any type of spreading my legs out. I feel like i'd fall 😭

i need the slide video pls

When i try plow stop i nearly do the splits fr

i dont know what to do,ive been skating for years and i never knew how to stop,and i still dont know how to..this is no help to me:(

I love rollerblading but I have only tried once so I Keep begging my mom to buy them for me 😊

When I do the plow stop my feet get unconfortable close that I feel I will lose balance 😟

grass stop ftw

This area look, like I thought as a child it look everywhere in the US. 😂

Wish I saw this last year before I broke my arm 😞

I think it is better you tech 1 stop at a time. Different video for each type of stop so they beginner don't get overwhelmed.

I think the spin stop is to scary,I don’t want to fall

What are good beginner rollerblades?

Is that a road or a pedestrian walkway?

4:13

Where r u from 👌

How are people skating in this insane heat? I’m doing everything I can to make myself forget it’s even summer. Mainly working extra days to make sure it goes away quickly.

You're awesome. And gorgeous -just saying
