I used to skate, I skated most of my life. Then I lost my leg in a car accident in 2009 ! I finally got a leg and went skating for the first time since loosing my leg ! It is on my channel if you'd like to see ! I hope one day I can get it back

I’m a 70s baby so we did A LOT of skating in the 80s & very early 90s. We called that move ‘Shuffle’ when you freestyles really well it was then ‘Advanced Shuffle’ Good times. My mom use to advance shuffle like a pro. She’s in her 70s now & still holds her own in the rink.

We called it Jam skating since the early 80s. We would compete in speed skating and during the lunch break we would have a “Jam Session” , so we called it jam skate. On Friday’s and Saturday’s, we had a total of 4 Jam skate sessions and would have 1 break dancing contest in the middle while others kept jam skating on the outside. Jam music would last 5-8 minutes per song, two songs per jam session. You will still find FAST jam skaters skate for full 10-15 minutes continuously without missing a beat.Indiana/Fort Wayne

I'm a music teacher and the clean and simple way you explained counting the downbeats and upbeats is probably the best I've ever heard!

So long story short, was a skater & dancer my whole life, then hit hard with insane physical & painful trials past 3yrs!!!! I literally couldn't do anything. I'm starting to get better & went with our church to skate last night! I seriously almost cried while skating. All the fun & emotions came flooding bk in my heart & soul! I am going bk every week to skate by myself for some soul healing! Thx for this! I'm am so excited to be bk on the rink! BTW I'll be 46 in Feb. You are never too old!

I really don't think this can be taught... It has to be felt💯

This is perhaps my favorite movement. When younger i tended to bend more at the knees for a lower stance adding a "pump" on the front leg as I transitioned the other leg to the back. Now as I have grown older it resembles more along the lines you are presenting in this video! I have been quad skating since 70's and the move was popular even then.

We called it ‘boogie skating’ in my day. Loved it, lived at the rink!

Swivel hips and then crossing the leg behind is called rubber legging. What we have called it since the 70s. In Illinois.

This is the best tutorial on Truckin!! Im 47 and skated pretty much since I was 3. After 20 years of not skating, rink closed or moved etc. I'm back at it! And love it in my Vanilla Jams! Yours is the best video other videos have people interrupt the commentator etc. I subscribed!! Thanks! 😊

We also called it Jam Skating back in the early 80’s. I finally got another pair of skates after all these years. Now I just need to get my skate legs back.

I’m 17 and I started jam skating 2 years ago and now I’m in love and can’t stop

You got some rhythm on those quads, Dude! The level of control you have is freakin’ impressive!👌

I absolutely love your flow. I really enjoyed this video. I'd love more beginner jam videos!!!

Getting down the beat and rhythm is what I struggle with the most, this helped a ton!

I Started Jam Skating in the 70's Washington D.C. Kalarama Rink. Truckin', Crazy Legs, Flipping Over the Rail and Grinding the Rail w/ your Right Foot was a Norm for the SK8-Profeez.

Man I’m in my forties. I spent many a weekend in the mid 80s at the rink. I just bought a pair of skates for the first time in over 30 years and I’m super excited. Thanks for the vid!

Yep I did this same thing in the 70s. Skating since 1964 at a very early age of 2

😃I’ve been watching several tutorials and yours explains it the best! Thank you!!

In 25 years of skating I’ve never once heard this called trucking. It’s crazy how different parts of the country call the same moves completely different things. Very cool

I'm not a pro skater, but this is what I remember from skating on the block as a kid. This was my usual move.

I started skating in 94 and we called it bouncing. Still bounce to this day every single time I put on my skates!

"you have to be comfortable crossing your skates and know how to lemon" me: oh... **saves vid for later and googles how to lemon**

Best tutorial! I really like your teaching style

This step, like much of jam skating, arose from disco dancing in the 70's. I was in high school, bopping, sliding and cruising (trucking) on my "figure 4" skates🛼🤩💙💙

Awesome video!! Thank you, David!😁 Edit: Love seeing you skate with your Purple skates since you changed the plates!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Man you are smooth. Good job!!!

Nice tutorials...im an outdoor skater and love to jam skate...great videos

U are very smooth on wheels. U made it look so effortless.

Flawless crossover my dude

Ty for another great tut. Keep 'em coming.

Thank you. This is a very good tutorial video. Good job.

It was called Jam skating at "my" rink in So Cal in the late 80's and early 90's. :) I'm here because I'm looking into getting a pair of Solaris boots. Yours are so pretty! ;)

Great video btw. Thank You! Definitely smashed the like button

Pretty well explained, that’s hard to do on its own, explaining how to maneuver your feet. Nice job.

going to learn from this tutorial. thanks for sharing.

We were truckin in 1983 down in mississippi so it must date back to the '70's probably, the disco days. We would have contests on who could have the fastest footwork at top speed..... good times

In jersey in the 90's we called it shuffle skating lol i can't wait to get bac on my skates

I love your skates 😊

I love this rink, the floor used to have a bump but it doesn't now so yay 😁

This is a great tutorial, thank you!

Awesome! Thank you

So, I’ve always wanted to jam skate, and I start watching tutorials, he comes up, he skates at the same rink as me. Same exact rink. Wild.

We used to double pump around the corners 😊

What wheels are you using? Size and hardness? I really appreciate your tutorials, they help so much!! Clear and concise every time!!!

Definitely Learn something I just ordered my skates

I started skating around 1963..I was good. 😘

Nice 🤩

When we were doing that in 75 we called it freestyle ‘Shuffle Skate’. Before that there was a live organist playing on a riser stage or crappy AM radio in playing mono. The Shuffle was a product of Disco/R&B, think Cool and the Gang.

Boogie Bounce ~~ Huber Heights, OH 70's

I started skating in 1988 also. In Northern California we called it Rexing

Almost broke my screen smashing the like button, super duper mega smashed like.

Amazing

Dude you’re cool 😎 explaining down beat with all the equipment in the background on your quads lol it’s a vibe in its entirety also I think the song you used is great and I came to ask who it is lol nightmares on wax esque

I tried this today and almost fell. I’m having trouble keeping the front wheels of the back foot level! Will try more next week! Thanks for this video!

great advice !!

I've also heard it as rexxing. No matter what we call it, it was a blast.

In the 80's, here in California, we called it Rexxing... Never heard the term trucking until recently

And now that I've bought quads, I find my self watching all your quad content lol :D

Cool vid! Thanks!

Good morning!!!

When I used to live in New Jersey and go skating on a weekend we used to call it to Tri-State shuffle

Yep...Slide ✌️ circ '74' keep trucking 😎

excellent!

Me and my friends do this and even learned new tricks like moving to the left the bringing your right leg behind the left then go to the right then bring the left in the air not on the ground

Hey I recognize that mirror! Texas skatium🙌🏾

Let them know,to pick up those feet,and place them into position,and if they do that,their feet should fall into position on beat.So you lift right to the back,place it down,life the front,place it down,so the timing is up foot1,down foot 1,up front2,down foot 2.Then as you get advanced it's like Plant foot 1,pivot1,plant position 2,pivot back to original position,etc,etc..

Yep we were skating like this in 1983

In TN we call it trucking or jamming, but yes I've seen it everywhere I've ever skated

Great video

We called it “Rexing” .. great tutorial!!

That floor looks good

Well you saw it with inline so now I am watching.

When I used to skate I don't remember anyone ever doing any type of moves. I've started taking my kids the last few months and everyone is doing moves. So I've been slowly learning. Trucking is my favorite cause it can be so fun!

I never knew what this move was called, so I could never find videos on it ! Thank you so much now I can practice this and learn to get up to speed with everyone else 🤣

Cool video. Just getting back into jam skating after a pretty big hiatus. Had a set of Hard Candies in the mid-late 90s that are now long gone. Trying to educate myself on jam skates (we always called them speed skates back then), but, low cut boot with no/short heel. Do you have any recommendations on where to start? Would building up my own boot be a better option? No real budget constraints but I would like something durable, maybe a bit more modern, if skates have any improvement since the 90s.

🎶🎶"LET'S GO "SK8" TRUCKIN" 🎶🎶🎶

I thought that rink looked awfully familiar! Texas Skatium! I sure hope they open again soon.

in the 70s in S Texas we called it boogie skating or boogie rollin..

Thank you for this! What wheels are you using in this video?

Early 80s is when i use to skate all the time and we called it truckin then

GOOD TO SEE YOU POST NEW VIDEOS ...GIVE US MORE EDGE CONTROL DRILLS

I think I've been doing this by accident except I combo with spins while my heel is up

I'm picturing myself trying over and over to do a crossover and just sliding off into the wall every single time 🤣🤣🤣

Rexing, Shuffle skating, Trucking and the newest version is JB skating JB seems to have a life of its own it's a bit different. As long as you hit the back bounce on a beat everyone else can join you. SHUFFLE on my rolling friends

Trucking, bouncing, boogie skating, and boogie bounce. I've never heard it called Jam Skating since that refers to a specific style of skating. Which is complex in itself since it encompasses several other styles and disciplines such as; Rhythm, JB, Breakdance, Gymnastics, Artistic, and more to accomplish the various move sets. Call it whatever you want, but I would be a little thrown off if someone told me they jam skate and end up only going on the floor and boogie skate the whole session. Nothing wrong with that, but specifying your style helps a lot.

Dope

We called in jammin in the 90s too

Here in Atlanta it's the ATL Ride. There's body and hand movements added to it but the basic footwork is the same

Where I grew up in NJ we called it shuffling. But it wasn't a specific move. Would always do it in groups of at least 2 and would make up our own routines.

Okay I got u bro

Ayyyyyye texas Skatuim

I'm in the market for my first pair of Jam skates. Any recommendations would be awesome. Currently at the top of my list are Bonts Jam Skate. I'm diggin your channel and excited to start this Jam journey.

A plate that doesn’t flex too much doesn’t hurt, I’ve loved skating and dancing on my skates since I was a kid. Due to migraines and dizziness I haven’t been able to even use my skates in over a year

I scatted in 60s and 70s and it was popular then, they didn't have a name for it. All these moves on skates was being done along time ago we just didn't name them like crazy legs. No name.

Cool green wheels

I took my older kids who are now in there twenties skating regularly when they were kids since skating rinks were still around. Now there’s only a real rink about an hour away in the next county so sadly I can’t enjoy this activity with my younger kids as often if ever . There is a sports complex in the next town with some strange dence rubber mat in place of a wooden floor and they do host roller hokey and occasional skate sessions. I was shocked to notice kids do not know how to skate (my kids can) majority are staring at the cell phone while moms in there 40’s are out there getting it.

in florida everyone seems to do this with one wheel instead of coming up on both front wheels, is it the same concept or a different move completely?

We used to call that shuffling back 20 years ago :)

Hi. What kind of skates do you have (boot/plates/wheels)? They look like speed skates. Thanks for the video.
