Have fun x

🎉 Woohoo. Well done x. That great news. 👍 👏

Love that you noticed these. They are three turns. They are executed on one foot so slightly more of an advanced step but I can absolutely demo these too. These are much easier on a rink as the foot will slide. As you say, when I’m outside it becomes a slight hop as my wheels won’t glide on such a rough surface. Great spot and an idea for another video. Thank you x

Thank you. So glad you found it helpful. x

Thank you. x. Definitely my favourite sport too! 🛼

Thank you. xx. 🛼

I don't get the second foot. Debby lift the toe, Katie lift the heel. I feel Katie's way is more natural, but i still have issues with it 😢

Hope it helps. Have fun! 🛼💕⭐️😎👍

Fantastic! Hope it helps xx

Thank you. xx. Hope you’re enjoying your skating journey x

Definitely. Forward to backwards can be tricky as the feet have to remain in the direction of travel, otherwise, splat, ouch.

Oh yes that is such an awkward position. Ouch! 🛼👍💕

It’s definitely tricker as it requires lots of one foot balancing. You’ll get it. Sounds like you know what you need to do with a bit more practice it will come. Enjoy your journey xx 🛼

@@Skatie For some reason it's 8447747474737 billion times easier for me to go backwards to forwards then forwards to backwards. Idk why?

@@sleepragent_ maybe it’s the shoulders? Take note of your shoulder movements when going backwards to forwards and see if you can do the same going forwards to backwards?

@@Skatie OK thank you!

Thank you xx

Amazing! Well done xx

Glad it helped x ⭐️💕🛼

You got this. Have lots of fun! 😎🌟💕🛼

Glad it was helpful!

Thank you 🛼

Thank you so much ⭐️⭐️⭐️💕💕💕🛼🛼. We really appreciate the support xx

Yes! Fantastic, well done. We make the video but you put in the hard work. I’m so glad you’ve unlocked this one xx

⭐️⭐️⭐️💕

Hope the videos helps xx

Make sure to practice it stationary until you get really comfortable. You’ll get it xx

No knock on your video. Good video but this is something you can’t watch a video on and do, I watched videos for weeks and weeks and nothing worked. My advice to you is to keep trying to do it the best way you can my transitions doesn’t look like everyone else’s but it gets the job done. And when you learn it then you can add your own sauce to it

Sometimes it just helps to see exactly what is happening.

Great idea. I mention a few brands in My anatomy of a roller skate video.

It’s odd how some things click differently for some people. You’ll get the other way, especially as you say, you’ve mastered the harder way!

Hopefully I do get them- lol

Fantastic. Have you decided which skates yet?

Thank you. That’s a very good point. Thank you for mentioning it. I’ve told off hubby (the editor) and he says “sorry, he won’t do it again”. 😉 😂 We’ll be aware of it for future vids. Thank you xx 💕💕

Hi. Thank you. These are some really Old figure skates. The boot is Risport Cristallo on an Atlas plate and Britney Spears wheels! None of which I think are currently available it’s all so old. A similar modern setup would be Risport boots on a roll-line plate and soft outside wheels 60mm 78A

@@Skatie Great thank you!

I have a detailed video on the open book turn which might help you. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g8-AlMp91rzKemg.html

You have an amazing attitude. I 💯 know you’ll get it as you’re so positive! 💕⭐️⭐️🛼

@@Skatie thanks but... Meh... 😂... My husband came for the first time at the rink with me and recorded me. I still had baby Bambi legs (warm up) and didn't look as awkward as i thought, so i think that helped me in my "I'm not progressing and I'm upset" kinda mood, the recording helped, I'll try doing more. I don't progress as fast as i want. But i try to put in my head that ok if I'm slow, as long as I'm getting better. Heck, in one session this week i even went on a rougher concrete path and rolled over few cracks! But o really want those transition down to be able to stop backwards before i do anything else

It can be done in a tighter V position if a skater cannot turn their hips out too far. Also if it’s done by lifting the feet more then the open hip position becomes less pronounced. But it can be slightly trickier like that.

Yup. It’s so frustrating. One side just doesn’t seem attached to my brain some days! 😂 🦵⭐️💕🛼

@@Skatie lmaoo exactly!!

If it’s working for you I say continue. I only don’t teach it that way as turning on your heels requires a straighter knee and I’m all about the knee bend! 😂

You can do it at less of an angle it just makes a tighter circle, more like a mini spin to turn.

I have a transitions 2 video which has lots more options. You may find a different way much easier. The heel heel is a very awkward position

You can do it in a more acute v angle it just means the turn will be sharper. It’s not a very natural position.

@@Skatie wasn’t expecting a reply woah. I just wanted to put a timestamp for myself so I could see the footwork of a backwards transition

You can bring it to the instep if you prefer, that’s another version of this one but as it’s more difficult I don’t show that.

@@Skatie o.k. that sounds good to me. Anything that's easier. This is so much more skater friendly than figures

As I skate off? It’s called a 3 turn. I don’t have a video on that one yet as it’s a bit more advanced. I will do one x

@@Skatie please I'm ready and want to learn.

You’ll get it. Take your time. It’s not an easy move x

Thank you so much 💕🌟🌟
