Hi Katie, a big thank you for your little lessions! I love them! I just try to get back on the skates after 35 years break. They are really a huge help to find my way again back to skating. Thank you!

Hi Skatie! I really appreciate this video! I honestly prefer it a bit more than some of your other beginner videos (even though all are helpful!), as it quickly gets into instructions for how to move sooner in the video, instead of focusing the first half on equipment. As a skater that’s renting skates and practicing entirely at a roller rink, learning about equipment and wheel softness is a bit of a lower priority than “how to move”, haha! Again, all your beginner videos are great, and this one is going right at the top of my skating playlist!

Hi, how's the skating going? I'm a newbie and having trouble even standing on a solid surface.. I'm so wobbly that I keep falling. Any pointers you can share?

@sueseear4716 Жыл бұрын

Hi Katie. Thank you so much for this video. After 55 years of not getting on a pair of skates I've just taken this up as a hobby. As a child I had some of those metal adjustable skates you put on over your shoes. I was pretty rubbish at skating. My new skates arrived at the beginning of December and after 3 times at the sports hall I don't seem to be making any progress. Having found your videos I've realised that everything on my skates is too tight (pity they came with no instructions). I'm tentatively adjusting the trucks and the wheels. Hopefully I may enjoy Tuesday nights on skates more now!

@Skatie Жыл бұрын

I hope you have lots of fun. It’s amazing how much difference just a few small adjustments can make. Don’t forget to take your tools with you to help finalize those adjustments. Have fun x 🛼⭐️💕

I just did a search on quads competitions. Wow. They were real eye openers. Everything they do on ice these skaters do on quads. Triples, no problem. I have to get your videos organized in a learning timeline.

Yes. It’s amazing. We also dance on quads similar to ballroom dancing.

Hey Skatie! I have learned so much from your content! Could you please tell me which brand of knee pad you're using in this video?

@Skatie 3 ай бұрын

That’s great to hear. These are just some Amazon multipack pads. I wear them mainly to encourage skaters to wear safety gear and to save my skin if I fall. For beginners I’d recommend something a bit better pro tech, 187, ennui, triple 8.

Hello Katie, please could you advice what wheels to get for my new skates? I am getting an edea rondo with variant plate but not sure of the wheels. I want to be a recreational skater and would be skating indoors.

@Skatie Жыл бұрын

Nice skates! I’d suggest some roll-line wheels around a 90a they work for most indoor surfaces. Although it’s always a good idea to ask regulars at the rink what they use as every floor differs.

Hi Katie! Do you use bearing spacers? I've watched countless setup and maintenance videos, and neither quad skates nor skateboarders seem to ever use spacers. As someone coming from rollerblading, the double-sided frames make using spacers essential for proper rolling. I've watched a handful of videos and read a few forum posts that have recounted a wheel completely falling off mid-skate. But I've read a few posts where other skaters say spacers aren't necessary. I lucked out in a way buying cheap, unbranded wheels that came with bearings, spacers, and even a tool. This made it very easy to tighten my wheels eliminating clacking entirely. Am I missing something? What's the benefit of not using spacers?

@Skatie Жыл бұрын

Quad wheels don’t need spacer. They aren’t essential like on inlines. Lots of beginner equipment come with spacers. This is mainly due to the skates being tightened by machine. Quad wheels function completely fine without them.

Another question would it help to try standing 1st time on a piece of carpet? What keeps the first foot without using the toe stop from sliding away?

@Skatie Жыл бұрын

Carpet is a great place to start, it’s a matter of keeping tension in your body to stop the front foot from rolling away.

I wear a size 11 shoe how do I use that 2 get fitted 4 skates?

@Skatie 16 күн бұрын

You’ll need to measure your foot to get the mm measure. This is the most accurate way to fit a skate. Don’t pay attention to the “shoe size”. Skates are always crazy sizing and rarely correlate to street shoe size.
