I started roller blading because of you!! I loved your skating videos so much I bought a pair. I found watching online tutorials to be really useful when I was learning how to do crossovers, transitions and stuff.
I turned 39 recently. As a kid, I was great at rollerblading. Never rollerskating. Now my knees are kaput, but I'm so tempted to buy a pair today for some gentle night cruising around industrial estates (so nobody laughs at me). I hope it's something you never forget how to do!
I’m around your age, unless you’re doing crazy jumps or falling a lot, impact on the knees isn’t too bad but I don’t do aggressive skating or anything. Adding new insoles such as super feet or even Dr Sholls to your skates can really help
I’m 35 and same. Channelling my inner 10 year old. Bought some yesterday from Impala and within minutes I remembered how to do it. Hope you have heaps of fun if you give it a go!
I am almost 27. I learned how to crochet at an expert level last year. This year, I want to learn ukelele, and rollerblading! Something I love most about living is learning something new. Keep blading folks ❤
i’ve rollerbladed for fun since i was a kid (rocket power was huge when i was in elementary/middle school). it’s easier to start with a lower center of gravity, so bending your knees more will help a lot. i never got the hang of rollerskating, but ice skating and rollerblading always came easy for me. when you turn, i wouldn’t turn both skates - just the outside skate. imagine one skate is a bike, where you lean on one side to turn.
your first rollerskating video inspired me so much to start rollerskating but rollerblades are more common in my country so i got those without realising how different they are 💀
@@MagnoliaBloom rollerskates have a toe stop and theres 2 wheels at the front and 2 at the back, they also have trucks similar to skateboards. rollerblades have 4 wheels usually and sometimes a heel stop, theyre all in one straight line. i think rollerblading might be more difficult at the start but easy when u get the hang of it. both are fun, rollerblades are more speedy, rollerskates are more for like dancing around and more stylistic almost
@@loserbehaviour Thanks for the explanation, friend, I think I will need to try both of them in the future, starting from the blades. Thanks for clarifying which one is more suitable for dancing. Good luck.
The balance point on rollerblades is a little different from roller skates. Lean your shins into to tongue of the boot by bending your knees, and keep back straight. Great you are trying different things! Keep it up.
@@HeglaRUclips When falling, natural tendency is to throw arms up over head. Instead, keep arms down and drop your weight down forwards by bending knees and dropping to knee pads. Try to always fall forward instead of backwards. Your pads don't work when you fall backwards. Bad things happen when you fall backwards. Recommend a helmet, especially when learning new tricks and when going fast. Shit happens sometimes. Have fun! :)
For anyone learning any form of skating (boards or boots), keep in mind falling is part of the learning process. Specially if you want to learn tricks - learning to bail is a helpful skill for avoiding small scrapes and bruises as much as possible. There's an art to falling lol watch skateboarders on large staircases - the way they try to shift momentum to absorb or minimize the force of the impact transferred into your body (the large stairs just require more obvious movements because the force is much higher if you just slam on the ground)

that terrain is WAY too slow and bumpy.....you try blading on flat tarmac, you're going 100mph pretty easy, Lol, the bearings on Inlines are pretty ridiculous.
So interesting that blading is harder for you than skating. I found it the opposite for me. My local roller place didn't have roller skates so I went with blades. I've tried skates lately & they feel clunky & heavy. I did do ice skating before both of those too. Try ice skating. Its fun as hell.
I do love roller skating but roller blading seems so much harder literally one week ago I said I will never be able to roller blade I’ve been watching so many tutorials bc my dads getting me some this Christmas I’m scared but also excited you inspire me sm❤
Your end wheels will naturally wear faster than the middle. You can intentionally wear in a banana rocker by flipping the wheels but keeping the location during rotation. This will help with agility. I think your frames also have rockerable axles which are designed for slalom skating. I'm not sure if they do a small rocker, but you might want to avoid using that until you're more comfortable and stable because slalom rockers tend to be quite big for the quick footwork that's done. Great for agility but feels squirrelly for general skating.
Yes, a banana rocker (outer wheels are slightly smaller, usually just 1 or 2 mm) will help your skates to not feel so “stuck” to the ground and might be more enjoyable and easier to do roller skate style transitions. Also just getting more comfortable on blades helps too. :). Good luck in your journey. Blading is super fun once you get the hang of it!
I'll also say bend knees more, it's important. :D Get some cones, and practice with them, do some 8's, or snakes around them. Gain some speed and turn around the cone as close as you can. Inside leg first of course. This will teach you to go lower with knees bent, you can't turn sharp without that. Then do crossovers, crossovers are good, gain speed while turning, when coming off the cone, going for the other cone. Then backward crossovers too. And braking, look for soul slide, magic slide, power slide, parallel slide, try to figure out the best for you. But start with T-stop. T-stop and then turn/spin around should be enough for normal city skating. If you go downhill, go up a little bit, and then come down, control speed by constantly turning left and right. Definately don"t start on the top of the hill like i did. (fast, fast, too fast, what do i do, panic, into the ditch :D )
Honestly for me it's the other way around. I have a lot of confidence inline skating and can do pretty well on them, but on quad skates I'm absolutely terrible and scared of literally every little bump and crack.
Not sure anyone commented on this but for manual s (in blading normally called heel or toe roll) 1 way is to do drop knee ,which is sqaut 1 blade all wheels touching the other blade just rolling on toe wheel only and heel up,you kinda put your butt on the skate with only toe rolling,at first theyres usually a wobble on toe wheel only skate,but once you can control that toe it usually helps when doing standing up position,,the other is standing up knees bent put 1 skate in front with just heel rolling toe in air,both get you comfortable with only using 1 wheel not two,then if put both together while standing you get the scissor 1 heel 1 toe.might help.* Knee pads add safety for drop knee as knee will be close to ground,pads are ur friends on inline 🤸 edit: I watched till end of vid,your doing well.
Manuals are definitely way harder on rollerblades than roller skates, I rollerbladed for basically my whole life and was fairly good at it but could never do manuals but as soon as I switched to roller skates I could 😂
I’m gonna be getting some skates soon. I work at sonic so I’m gonna be skating at work but I also just wanna get better at it and do it for fun. I know this is a bit more seasonal at least where I am but u should try ice skating, the surface area is even smaller.
I love watching these vids! I got rollerblades from smith toys… so I do hope they at least work the same as other ones.. BUT I haven’t touched them in like months so I’ve been watching these vids and tutorials and HOPEFULLY I stick with this and it’s not like everything else I do and I don’t quit!
Interesting: I learned on quads and now they are very awkward to me now. I feel more in control on inlines and out-of-control on quads. I have since rockered my inline wheels. 76mm front, 80mm center 80mm center, 76mm back. I'll never go back to all 80mm wheels. Rockered just feels so natural. At first the rocker setup felt scary but after a few weeks it's all good. (Hockey players rocker and so do figure skaters)quads to inlines - It's all the same movements and from what you're doing great on freaking slotted brick for crying out loud. You look very stable on inlines.. Greg 🤙
There's lots of transitions and tricks that even work on both rollerskates and rollerblades. I'v never roller skated before but what's probably the main difference is how you switch between your edges on inline (blades). There's no trucks so the balance is probably allot different.
Rollerskating is similar in ways, but - don't think it's the same. I can see around 3:00 you use the technique of skating - blading is similar, but instead of forming curves, form a v shape and push outwards. This is because skates have 4 wheels like on a car configuration, so you cannot carve into the surface, you have to keep it flat and roll over it. Rollerblades can lean at angles. By al means - the curve shape is useful at low speeds, but building speed requires steeper angles with the leg. Don't be afraid to widen your stance and push harder on your legs. I could see you eventually picked most of it up. Great video, very constructive, and nice to see you taking it just one bit at a time. Very enjoyable.
Weather's been shit here and there's rubbish all over the ground, so I reallyyyyy wanna get rollerblades. I haven't used them in a decade but this video will help refresh my memory.. probably.
Thank you very much, I'm still nervous because it's my first time on a rollerblade I'm also nervous about braking because maybe when I'm going fast I don't know what I'll do but thank you so much for this video.
You can brake like when doing bubbles which is the easiest way to slow down - go out like this \ / then round it in and when your toes are coming together like this / \ pull your feet backwards as they try to roll into a point and it'll make you go slow! Like pull back so they don't touch in a /\ shape, keep them like this / \ (that make sense? lol)
Your comment at the beginning of the video about how unstable and skinny it looked cracked me up XD. As someone who started on rollerblades and now does figure skating, I had the exact same though when I first started. Although I guess when you first start you don't pay attention to it much because you are trying to not land face first on your face 😂. Love the videos btw, big inspiration to start skating and continue it❤Also, transitions are much easier if you have a rockered blade like me (which is basically and curve in you blade), it allows more ease in weight transfer, but it also means you only have the middle wheels on the ground when skating normally.
I just binged the entire playlist and loved every second of it, I'm about to get some inline skates and I got some really good tips to know 1. roughly where and how to start, and 2. how to deal with set backs mentally so, thank you 😊
When she says "Rollerskates" she means "Quad Skates" When she says "rollerblading" it means Inline Blading. Cant wait to see u on Agressive Skates with Antirocker wheels.. Or Inline rollerblades with Rockered setup :) But now i'll just lean back on my "cheeks" and watch the show unfold.. 🤗 6:54 It's called a "Duckwalk" not manual ;) that's on the front wheel on one skate only or the backwheel.. Keep it up!
Wow great job! I'm 31 and just learned rollerblading like 3 months ago but on aggressive inlines in the skatepark mostly.. My only tip is to change surface for gods sake 🤣GLHF!
I don't think this has been mentioned yet so I'll drop it here. In regards to fluid turns and transitioning from forwards to backwards and vice versa, as you wear in your wheels you'll develop a more natural ability to turn. In my case, the way I skate leads to my third wheel being ever-so-slightly larger, not enough to be noticeable to the eye or while skating in a line, however gives me something to pivot on and makes changing direction super easy. When I have new wheels, until that wear occurs, I feel horribly locked to the ground.
@@HeglaRUclips Well it may be that to you but to me I say it's a great start and you will get better at it! If I were there in person I'd be rooting for you!! Trust me!
:O You skate flying eagle! I do to :) they are wonderful and they’re so easy to get a handle on once you get past the balance issues. I’m actually more comfortable on blades because I feel like I can run in them better than quads. I skate on their f4’s(the Ravens) if its to tight in the ankles the clips are rachet systems so you can adjust them.
Hi! i'm incredibly late to be commenting... I did the opposite of you, learning to roller blade/iceskate before learning how to skate on quads. To transition on ice and inlines, you don't actually have to point your toe or heel. On quads it's neccisary to get them to rotate, but you can actually drag your wheels/blade flat on the surface in order to get your body to turn... once you turn, I prefer to step my other foot until I'm skating backwards. I would say the most important skill on inline/ice skates are cross overs as they are really nice for catching yourself if you over commit to leaning in a turn. Just my opinion tho!
I remember the first time I went rollerblading, I was around 10 and my mum really wanted me to try it. So she was skating gracefully next to me and I was doing some weird monkey moves next to her and the whole thing ended up with me spending the most time with my face on the ground. That was the end of my very promising rollerblading career😂
@@HeglaRUclips Some day I'm gonna tell my kids how I nearly became a professional rollerblader😂 It was so close👌🏼 Great seeing you back with so much quality content 😇✌🏼
Hey HEGLA, I just watched your video and I must say that it was really informative and well-made. I loved your videos. I was wondering if I could help you edit your videos and also make highly engaging shorts for you.
1:20 Blades have more balance forwards and backwards than skates, whereas quads obviously have more width to them. But I also feel that as we balance on our feet to walk, and they are a more narrow shape, that makes blades more similar way to the way we naturally balance🤷🏽♀️ idk I could be wrong
Sick, I've wanted to skateboard forever and I saw one of your videos featured on Ricky Glaser's channel, big fan f just trying it. Also points on wearing pads etc, I still have scars on my hands from my last time trying to skate and just be comfortable on the board. Anyway, all of this applies to inline skates or anything else, so, thanks!
OMG new rollerblader! There's a whole range of rollerblading skills you can learn depending on what you'd like to be able to do. Brandon Drummond on RUclips has some great aggressive skate tips MushroomBlading are also amazing for tips and tricks on transitions and general skating. Hope you stick with it, there's LOADS of amazing rollerbladers in the UK.
Once again you are my inspiration (and lord & saviour :) ) as your video appeared the same day as my rollerblades. So basically doing everything so far that involves wheels under your feet (yikes!) - You are picking it up really quick - well done with those skills. 😊 😊
What a great vid ive just got back into roller skating and had a brain wave at buying some blades lol.....yea a hell of alot different i found....i got the forward motion then realized i couldn't stop hahaha on my arse i went it is good fun though and watching this vid has give me more determination to ctack keep up the vids there great and your commentary is funny thanks x
i have gone from blades to skates, and i will defenitly say blades are MUCH harder. I have been rollerblading for 9 years and when i tried skates i found it super easy! defenitely prefer roller skates! i do roller derby now.
From a rollerskaters pov I also got rollerblades and I actually found them easier. I got alot of speed up I have yet to take them to the skate park though.
When I was like 10, my friend told me roller skates were for 'children and people who were bad at rollerskating' so I got rollerblades. I later discovered that if I want to try artistic rollerskating I'd struggle to use my clunky rollerblades, but I didn't get round to buying a pair or rollerskates until a week ago. They're arriving today, and I'm almost as terrified as you were switching to rollerblades. But hopefully it'll be fun :) Edit: they arrived and I am so wobbly, but I’ll improve
I find rollerblading way easier than rollerskates 🤔 the narrow edges of inline are way easier than the wide edges of rollerskates. I literally just keep my feet and lean in the direction I want to go🤷♂️
So basically I really wanted to do rollerskating but then I had to go to another country and I wanted to get rollerskates there but that country only had rollerblades, but I still took the rollerblades. But then when I returned back to the country where I originally live I did not wanna try rollerblades anymore but then one day I was bored so I tried it out and now I'm pretty good! Tip:practice on hard wooden floors! ♡
hi Hegla.i seen your skate videos before i tried in line skate going from quads.but 3 months and 2 sparined ankles later left and right im going back to quads as im not 15 anymore doin roller disco im 61.But from experience on inlines i think be better to have more stabilty for my ankles.Well hopefully and as i lay in bed with frozen peas around my ankle i ordered some slade s-quad skates.I saw the stuttering skater youtube doing a review of the slade skates and he is amzing skater who can use both inline and quads so i went for it.
Hahaaa, growing up in Finland we all have to learn ice skating at school, so inline skating comes relatively naturally and the idea of roller skates with parallel wheels seems terrifying, at least to me :D
I have to command you for actually skating something for the first time on tiled surface.. :D Even though you already know how to roller skate. From my personal experience, I switched from quads to inline 20+ yrs ago and never looked back, it was surprisingly easy, had 3yrs of urban skating on quads though. People doing the reverse switch had a worse experience though. :]
Tip the stronger your legs are the easier it is to move faster or stop so try doing squats, train your feet muscles (so they have a longer tolerance) and maybe try some new moves.
Honestly in my opinion rollerblading is one of the easiest things i’ve done, i just feel like quads are to heavy for me and kind of harder to move the way i want them too. But thats just how it is with me.
Keep blading around till your body get used to it, find balance point. Learn how to slow/stop is more important than going fast. Once u master these 2 skills then the world of blading open to U. I'm an aggressive blader for over 20 years. I said I was done but my blade addiction has relapsed. Watching your video makes me giggle so hard 🤣. Keep going u will be surprise wat u can do in time
Hey sweet video. Are you still rollerblading? Be nice to see an update 2y on + That outfit is 😲 11/10. Punk rock but also elegant at the same time, jus amazing ++ You're rocking the sporty girl aesthetic in those white Nike socks
You would find it easier with a hardened leather hockey boot or carbon fiber leather hybrid boot, that sort of skate you are using is very heavy and the sock/liner inside the skate adds weight and reduced reaction speed and power making it more tiring and balance is hard when tired.
Please help me and give me roller blading tips because this shit was hard (hope I don't fall and die again thanks)

THANKS!!! glad you liked the video dude it means a lot :DD
Careful with your knees, don't forget to bend them after the jump otherwise you'll injure not only your knees but your back too.
Good tip :D
Go get em! You’ll be chasing the dream!
I just binged the entire playlist and loved every second of it, I'm about to get some inline skates and I got some really good tips to know 1. roughly where and how to start, and 2. how to deal with set backs mentally
so, thank you 😊
🙃🙃🙃
😃😃
Hegla, you make my day with these videos! You wonderful human, have a good one. :)
And this comment made my day!!! THANK YOU
great video, much love from Texas
Thanks so much dude!!! it means the world
When she says "Rollerskates" she means "Quad Skates"
When she says "rollerblading" it means Inline Blading.
Cant wait to see u on Agressive Skates with Antirocker wheels.. Or Inline rollerblades with Rockered setup :)
But now i'll just lean back on my "cheeks" and watch the show unfold..
🤗
6:54 It's called a "Duckwalk" not manual ;) that's on the front wheel on one skate only or the backwheel.. Keep it up!
Wow great job! I'm 31 and just learned rollerblading like 3 months ago but on aggressive inlines in the skatepark mostly.. My only tip is to change surface for gods sake 🤣GLHF!
Can't wait for this one...😃😃😃
You have inspired me so much in the past,I'm even starting my own RUclips channel
stop thats the sweetest thing ever!!! wish you the best
I don't think this has been mentioned yet so I'll drop it here. In regards to fluid turns and transitioning from forwards to backwards and vice versa, as you wear in your wheels you'll develop a more natural ability to turn. In my case, the way I skate leads to my third wheel being ever-so-slightly larger, not enough to be noticeable to the eye or while skating in a line, however gives me something to pivot on and makes changing direction super easy. When I have new wheels, until that wear occurs, I feel horribly locked to the ground.
Cool, down to earth and incredibly pretty. Glad I found this random video, whe searching, ‘what happened to roller blades?’😊
doing tricks on scooters would be nice (and funny) to see you do!
lmao thats the only wheels that I will never do
Great Video!!! You did great on rollerblades!! I rollerblade! Just keep practicing!!
im glad you think so because it was a little stinky in my opinion
@@HeglaRUclips Well it may be that to you but to me I say it's a great start and you will get better at it! If I were there in person I'd be rooting for you!! Trust me!
:O You skate flying eagle! I do to :) they are wonderful and they’re so easy to get a handle on once you get past the balance issues. I’m actually more comfortable on blades because I feel like I can run in them better than quads. I skate on their f4’s(the Ravens) if its to tight in the ankles the clips are rachet systems so you can adjust them.
Hi! i'm incredibly late to be commenting... I did the opposite of you, learning to roller blade/iceskate before learning how to skate on quads. To transition on ice and inlines, you don't actually have to point your toe or heel. On quads it's neccisary to get them to rotate, but you can actually drag your wheels/blade flat on the surface in order to get your body to turn... once you turn, I prefer to step my other foot until I'm skating backwards. I would say the most important skill on inline/ice skates are cross overs as they are really nice for catching yourself if you over commit to leaning in a turn. Just my opinion tho!
I remember the first time I went rollerblading, I was around 10 and my mum really wanted me to try it. So she was skating gracefully next to me and I was doing some weird monkey moves next to her and the whole thing ended up with me spending the most time with my face on the ground. That was the end of my very promising rollerblading career😂
damn all of it was over at the big age of 10 ;(
@@HeglaRUclips Some day I'm gonna tell my kids how I nearly became a professional rollerblader😂 It was so close👌🏼
Great seeing you back with so much quality content 😇✌🏼
Electric skateboard would be awesome to see maybe even scooter or bmx stuff too
BRO I LOVE THAT FIRST IDEA
BRO I LOVE THAT SECOND IDEA
I kinda just went to a roller ring tonight for the first time since 2008 it just came natural for me on the roller blades
Welcome to blading!
thanks dude :D
Do most people tend to agree that rollerblading is more difficult than roller skating? I always felt roller skating was a lot harder.
I started on blades and I feel way more unstable on skates lol
Ye I started on roller skates and I couldn't do it so I switched to roller blades and it's so much easier
Hey HEGLA, I just watched your video and I must say that it was really informative and well-made. I loved your videos. I was wondering if I could help you edit your videos and also make highly engaging shorts for you.
1:20 Blades have more balance forwards and backwards than skates, whereas quads obviously have more width to them. But I also feel that as we balance on our feet to walk, and they are a more narrow shape, that makes blades more similar way to the way we naturally balance🤷🏽♀️ idk I could be wrong
Sick, I've wanted to skateboard forever and I saw one of your videos featured on Ricky Glaser's channel, big fan f just trying it. Also points on wearing pads etc, I still have scars on my hands from my last time trying to skate and just be comfortable on the board. Anyway, all of this applies to inline skates or anything else, so, thanks!
Always love when people come from Ricky’s vids :D glad to have you here 🤪
OMG new rollerblader!
There's a whole range of rollerblading skills you can learn depending on what you'd like to be able to do.
Brandon Drummond on RUclips has some great aggressive skate tips
MushroomBlading are also amazing for tips and tricks on transitions and general skating.
Hope you stick with it, there's LOADS of amazing rollerbladers in the UK.
This was so amusing thanks for that hegla!
please make this a series !
I definitely could :D
I definitely wanna see her get rlly good at the manuals for sure. Maybe do a lil slalom course with cones!
we need a part 2 now!
Look up wizard skating. Its like dancing on a longboard, but on blades.
wowwwww wizard skating!! I never heard of that but I'll check it out :D
Once again you are my inspiration (and lord & saviour :) ) as your video appeared the same day as my rollerblades. So basically doing everything so far that involves wheels under your feet (yikes!) - You are picking it up really quick - well done with those skills. 😊 😊
WHERE did u get those pants ohm
What a great vid ive just got back into roller skating and had a brain wave at buying some blades lol.....yea a hell of alot different i found....i got the forward motion then realized i couldn't stop hahaha on my arse i went it is good fun though and watching this vid has give me more determination to ctack keep up the vids there great and your commentary is funny thanks x
i have gone from blades to skates, and i will defenitly say blades are MUCH harder. I have been rollerblading for 9 years and when i tried skates i found it super easy! defenitely prefer roller skates! i do roller derby now.
Girly I learned in a day it’s pretty easy to stand but I have rlly good balance (PUT ON SOCKS AND PRACTICE, IT HELPS)
Wow, it's the same as me inline skating and roller skating ~ pretty ~👏😄
twinsss!!! what a bad bitch
Sheesh those jumps scared me!!
From a rollerskaters pov I also got rollerblades and I actually found them easier. I got alot of speed up I have yet to take them to the skate park though.
When I was like 10, my friend told me roller skates were for 'children and people who were bad at rollerskating' so I got rollerblades. I later discovered that if I want to try artistic rollerskating I'd struggle to use my clunky rollerblades, but I didn't get round to buying a pair or rollerskates until a week ago. They're arriving today, and I'm almost as terrified as you were switching to rollerblades. But hopefully it'll be fun :)
Edit: they arrived and I am so wobbly, but I’ll improve
I find rollerblading way easier than rollerskates 🤔 the narrow edges of inline are way easier than the wide edges of rollerskates. I literally just keep my feet and lean in the direction I want to go🤷♂️
wow I wish that could be me!!!
So basically I really wanted to do rollerskating but then I had to go to another country and I wanted to get rollerskates there but that country only had rollerblades, but I still took the rollerblades. But then when I returned back to the country where I originally live I did not wanna try rollerblades anymore but then one day I was bored so I tried it out and now I'm pretty good!
Tip:practice on hard wooden floors! ♡
What helps me skating is skating on Flat ground :)
yuppp for sure!! I cant do it unless its flat
hi Hegla.i seen your skate videos before i tried in line skate going from quads.but 3 months and 2 sparined ankles later left and right im going back to quads as im not 15 anymore doin roller disco im 61.But from experience on inlines i think be better to have more stabilty for my ankles.Well hopefully and as i lay in bed with frozen peas around my ankle i ordered some slade s-quad skates.I saw the stuttering skater youtube doing a review of the slade skates and he is amzing skater who can use both inline and quads so i went for it.
Hahaaa, growing up in Finland we all have to learn ice skating at school, so inline skating comes relatively naturally and the idea of roller skates with parallel wheels seems terrifying, at least to me :D
I have to command you for actually skating something for the first time on tiled surface.. :D Even though you already know how to roller skate.
From my personal experience, I switched from quads to inline 20+ yrs ago and never looked back, it was surprisingly easy, had 3yrs of urban skating on quads though.
People doing the reverse switch had a worse experience though. :]
When you get used to inline skates they become a lot easier on urban surfaces than quads, thinner larger wheels absorb and roll over so many bumps
Tip the stronger your legs are the easier it is to move faster or stop so try doing squats, train your feet muscles (so they have a longer tolerance) and maybe try some new moves.
You were stoping because you're laces were to long and got caught in you're whels (any advice on skatebording) ?❤❤
Great vibes keep it up
THANKS BRO
Keep up the fantastic work
Oh, you're upgrading. And you say the more wheels the better. I guess a roller-skate suit is next on the list! 😈
NOT A WHOLE SUIT?!?
@@HeglaRUclips A whole suit indeed! :D Check this out, crazy stuff ruclips.net/video/gGaOMT677TM/видео.html
Learning something small wheel related on these tiles is probably worst thing you can do.
sheet I didn't really consider that ... definitely going to try another spot
Honestly in my opinion rollerblading is one of the easiest things i’ve done, i just feel like quads are to heavy for me and kind of harder to move the way i want them too. But thats just how it is with me.
you should try aggressive inline skating 🎉
Dear Hegla: More content please
I can’t roller skate. But roller blades have had my heart since grade school
Could you ever have a roller blading/skating date 😊
watching her try all this new shit gives me motivation to pick up a skateboard again. Also youre hilarious 🤣😂
Keep blading around till your body get used to it, find balance point. Learn how to slow/stop is more important than going fast. Once u master these 2 skills then the world of blading open to U. I'm an aggressive blader for over 20 years. I said I was done but my blade addiction has relapsed. Watching your video makes me giggle so hard 🤣. Keep going u will be surprise wat u can do in time
Once you get used to this you should find an ice rink to ice skate😶✔
Hey sweet video. Are you still rollerblading? Be nice to see an update 2y on
+ That outfit is 😲 11/10. Punk rock but also elegant at the same time, jus amazing
++ You're rocking the sporty girl aesthetic in those white Nike socks
You would find it easier with a hardened leather hockey boot or carbon fiber leather hybrid boot, that sort of skate you are using is very heavy and the sock/liner inside the skate adds weight and reduced reaction speed and power making it more tiring and balance is hard when tired.
I love roller skating i started roller skating when i was 8
You should try ice skating next if you haven't already
I liked your pants style! From where I can get like it? What is it called?
Love your videos so much
One fun thing to do is have one blade and one skate on it's really really fun.
Funny thing with me is I’m better with in-lines then with quads because the first thing I learned was ice skating, so in- lines are easier
Ik its a little late but you need to bend your knees more you get way more mobility
You were pretty good 💗💗🤌🤌
ayyy thanks bro that means a lot :D
