Roller Skating Two-Foot SPIN - How To Spin On Roller Skates

Рет қаралды 58,714

Күн бұрын

Hi Skaters, this week is one of my favourite skating skills. Spins! This video starts off with the 2-foot spin and hints at the one foot. The one foot spin will have its own video which will be coming soon.
Also, when editing I realised I'd forgotten to put on my wrist guards! I put them on after my helmet as the strap is tricky with the guards on! Don't forget to wear yours. x
See you next week.

I really like the teaching style that you use, your videos are very well though out and the examples make total sense… my problem is that my brain is “oh yes we got this” … but my feet are like “what?”

I used to roller skate in the 80s as a teenager, especially after watching the movie Xanadu. I remember spinning and jumping.I was a good skater. I have been skating again for the past 6 months; however, I skate gingerly and have not tried spinning. I am 57 and I am scared stiff of falling and hurting myself.So, I just skate and still have fun.

The reality of a injury when we're older can definitely slow us down. Make sure you're fully safety geared up and you'll find your confidence in no time. Have fun! I need to go and listen to Olivia NJ now!

Love your channel! I started skating less than a year ago and just found this the week I started on spins, it was so useful. I did a couple of full spins by the end of the class, so happy about it. :D Definitely gonna share it with my classmates, your teaching style is great and you make everything so clear, love it. And I definitely prefer spinning the same direction as you. :D

@@Skatie I started in artistic when I was 15 or so back in the 1970’s! After the 100th time falling on my coccyx I put skateboard wheels on my skates and became a street skater! I stopped when I met my husband at the beginning of the 80’s and I have had to start from scratch. I’m sorry I didn’t keep skating then but I’m glad I found it again. I’m progressing slowly and loving every bit.

The momentum and balance when you go into a spin is key also open your arms up wider first keep upper body relaxed don’t try to hard after a few rotations you’ll find sweet spot most I did once was 30 because I relaxes and let wheels do the work it does take time don’t do it when your tired ! It will come

I have a question what are the difference between pro roller skates and beginners roller skates how do I know witch on is witch? I can’t wait to be really good like you!

@Skatie 2 жыл бұрын

It’s mainly the construction and the quality of the components. For example beginner skates will often have bolt on toe stops more quality skates will have an adjustable toe stop. Metal alloy trucks rather than plastic, leather boots with multiple layers rather than vinyl etc. However, as a new skater there are beginner skates that meet some of this criteria without having to purchase pro skates for ££££.

I favor my right side, but am also blind in my right eye. Backwards is difficult.

@Skatie 4 ай бұрын

💯 backwards is definitely tricky and looking behind is a skill in itself. Can you get a friend to help spot for you so you can concentrate on getting one thing at a time.

@guillermopatlan3918 3 ай бұрын

Is it easier to spin with tight trucks or loose trucks?

@Skatie 2 ай бұрын

For spinning there is a sweet spot, if the trucks are too tight the spin won't happen but if they're too loose it will make it harder as the skate will be too hard to control and the edge will be so deep you fall off it. Make slow adjustments and make sure to watch my video on truck adjustment as you may benefit from softer cushions too.

Which is better wheel for spinning in out door, 85 A or 95 A....? 🤔can u plss tell.. ✨

@Skatie Жыл бұрын

The trouble with outside is for rolling you’ll need a softer wheel but for the tricks you’ll find it easier in a harder wheel. I use my 84a outside I do turns etc in them and they’re ok. I’d give your outdoor wheels a try first see how you get on.

Is the weight supposed to go on your foot that is on your toes or on your heels?

@whalium889 Жыл бұрын

I think it’s heel but not sure

@Skatie Жыл бұрын

I do find that my weight goes slightly more into the right foot when I spin but you can keep the weight quite central if you prefer. As long as you get the heel toe and the pull of the feet to get momentum.

@oliviamarie1553 10 ай бұрын

I feel like it I move my body to turn, my feet don't follow. And if I can get my feet to turn, my body doesn't follow. Also, without a bend in my knees I feel at risk of falling over. Clearly I'm a beginner wanting to do the hard stuff before the easier stuff!

Spinning is so hard. Make sure you’ve got edges and manuals unlocked before you start spinning. This will really help speed up your progress.

Ensure to keep the weight on the heel toe, usually if you’re falling backwards the weight needs to be more towards the toes.

Cheating hard wheels, surface

@Skatie 2 жыл бұрын

Definitely! Hard wheels and a smooth surface make spinning much easier. Outside spinning with softer wheels will need a smaller contact area so lifting the wheels more to the heel toe will help.
