@Oliwia Żarnowska Pls pls pls buy your own skates. U won’t regret it. I’m 50+, and have been skating for only 3 months. I skated in a beginner class with my wife and 2 children. Within a month, we ALL had our own skates. My wife got the Moxi Skates, and me and the kiddos got the basic black high tops by Riedell. As a matter of fact, my pair was my Christmas gift. This super long post is basically telling u that your confidence level will be elevated on your own skates, and (in my opinion) u will look super cool in your own skates 😁

Hey I stopped skating for about 30 yrs and your videos are great for starting back. Explanations are easy to follow. Your greatest tip: Head turns shoulders, shoulder turn hips, hip turns foot 😂😂the rest just happens. I also DJ and work with the skaters sometimes, bad part is that I play all the songs that make me want to skate while I am on the turntables. Great Job

Did you get the toe guards from Rollerstuff too?

@@JojosCraftyLove not yet, I am strictly indoor skating right now, and I'm not really worried about scuffing them up a bit.

My 7yr old son wanted to learn how to skate so I figured the best way to teach him was to learn myself. Thanks to your videos I've mastered skating forwards and stopping. Slightly more practice needed on transitioning and backwards but he seems me having fun and practicing and is doing well with his own. Hubby even bought a pair to join us. Thank you. Videos so clearly explained and demonstrated.

Thank you Dirty! This makes so much more sense than all the 'open book' tutorials, they say it's the same movement front-to-back as back-to-front... I kept losing momentum thinking "this movement forces weight into my toes, there's no way it can work back-to-front". I gave yours a try today, it's a challenge, I will keep practicing one leg / outer edge push off first :)

@Dirtydeborahharry 5 жыл бұрын

EDGES are the foundation of skating properly! Ok … when you skate backward, make sure you are really understanding that you need to "rock" your weight side to side in order to go backward. Look straight ahead, hips low, arms to the side and count. Get a bit of rhythm going.
