Dude, best skating video so far. Learned the most and got excited. No one has ever before explained it like this. Clean, on point and very useful. Most miss the idea of basics. Every word hit true for me. Like!
Another great video D! I'd like to see a video on your favorite stopping techniques sometime but everything you post is great and super helpful. Your work is appreciated!!
yeah i need that. I was going fast and didn't know how to stop like he said in the vid, hit my head into the cement and everything, cos on a skateboard you just ride through, i mean you can tail drag but no one does that, you just fucken ride through. Light a blunt up while your doing it.
Practice makes permanent. Starting off with poor practice habits will only make it harder down the line, which really make your videos so helpful. Thank you for making videos ❤️
Just looking at a few of your tutorials I think you're gonna be a great source of inspiration for me, looking forward to sunny days and trying out some of your stuff
I couldn't agree with you more. All I do is stretch, work on balance exercises (off and on skates), and tedious muscle training. I've got the ability to skate on trails and what not, but I haven't yet. I spend all my time mastering skills, such as like edges. (I'm not there yet). It's serendipity I came across your video today. I'm still determined to master all the basics before I run off to do "regular skating", because I don't want to pick up improper skating habits because it's simply easier and a quick default. I also figured that if I practice so that these proper skating methods are easier and instinctual, I'm less likely to get badly hurt in the future, trying new tricks. Anyway, your video was a great encouragement that I'm going the right way. I keep seeing people jump the gun and try to skate as fast as they can, it's the trend now. Thank you, again!
I've been wanting to learn crazy legs...I'm a good skater, but I feel like I don't have the rhythm or something for crazy legs. Idk, I keep trying but it makes me feel so dumb. I'm still learning other things, and getting better...but I just have never gotten good at dancing in one place.
Crazy Legs is a hard move to master and even harder to teach! Don't give up and don't be too hard on yourself! Skating is about having fun and learning! Cheers!
@@DeezSkates thanks man! I love you guys videos. I'm just now getting better at toe spins...and I'm pretty comfortable grapevining...but so far crazy legs eludes me. I'll keep at it though...like with most other moves, I think it'll just click one day. 🤞
I’m an advanced shuffle skater (bont flat speed skates) - but trying to venture into Rhythm skating just a bit. I’d like to to learn to skate on my toes, but my wheels are speed skate wheels, and I have a flat boot. I bought a pair of moxi lollys (to try a heel) and switched out the wheels they came w for some rollerbone 98a’s. I really thought the smaller harder wheels and the heel would help but, it feels like I’m going to fall even more now that I have these and I up higher with a taller sense of gravity. Do you recommend jam skates (flat boot) for skating on toes? Or a heeled boot? And - What’s the best wheels - durometer/diameter for skating on your toes? Many thanks 🙏🏻
Smaller wheels take less stress across the bottom of the foot from what I can tell. The larger my wheels are the harder it is to balance really well on fewer of them, especially given the work to raise a portion of your foot and hold the position. I find that skates with heels are less stressful on the feet for simple shuffle work, and much easier to spin in. That could be all the artistic/shuffle setups I’ve used had small, hard wheels. I personally prefer a flat (or at least a very short heel), low top speed/jam skate design to the high tops with high heels. I find I feel most comfortable and smooth when my foot feels more rooted to the ground. I have more control over my edges that way. I use 59x38mm wheels in 95a indoors typically, but what durometer you need will need is ultimately up to you and the surface you’re skating on.
@@DeezSkates ok awesome all makes sense. I ordered some riedell 965 jam boots - When they come it I’ll try the 59x38 (95a) wheel combo w them. I think I need a nearly flat boot and a more pointed toe. I’ll keep rewatching your video and pad/helmet up lol. Thanks again!

This video covers four stops, including the "Powerslide" which is the one you're referring to at 3:00. The video is a bit long but very in depth, as I cover all of these stops and how they differ in ice, quad, and inline skates. ruclips.net/video/2WzQjJNUnvw/видео.html
Excellent advice. Laura Stamm is a legend. I know full well that practice does not necessarily make perfect, bad practice makes imperfect as I discovered when I started taking ice skating lessons. She had to take me back to basics to relearn everything. And it took time because I had created bad muscle memory. I can now spot those with good technique. Skating is of course highly technical. Incidentally, it’s not rare to see a RUclips skater demonstrate mediocre or poor technique, Not you of course, nice video.
Stamm is one of my skating heros. I’ve watched all the instructional vids in her series and read her Power Skating book many times over and it changed my life. Being adept at dance, I was able to watch and read her info and correct my own stylistic faults from scratch. It literally changed the rate at which I learn skating techniques now, and made my style become much smoother and controlled. And I’ve barely ever played hockey. The mentality was a life lesson more so than just s simple “how to skate for hockey” instructional.
Yo dude, I know you have a ton of vids already lined up, but could you add a complete beginner one to that list. I know it's been done to death, but I'd love to see your detailed approach to edges and balance applied to someone who can only just stand up... like me! Haha
You didn’t miss it. This is a video about why it’s important. It’s not a tutorial on how to do it. For that topic, you can check out my video on the 6 points of skating edge theory, which contains basic exercises to use for training your edges.

Brilliant ! So true...
Extremely valuable information. Amazing skill. Thank you!
Thank you! I like how you coach. Now to apply this lesson during practice.
Great video, i keep discovering great tips on your channel, thank you
GREAT VIDEO -
All true but title is misleading - didn’t learn any drills or how to strengthen edges.
This is probably more what you’re looking for.

Your videos are top notch 👍🏽
Bravo 🙂!
What about a good stop on quads
Hey deez,
Do u have a video teaching that stop @3:00 on quads?

Someone please help. I just want to know what's the best way to keep my inside ankle from blistering.

I know what you mean I feel like I'm gonna tip over and fall ☹
@@ft7037 4 months later, i am a lot more confident on my outside edges. just keep at it, work on it slowly!
Do a luigino strut review please.

This is a highly requested one so I will work that in very soon for ya, my friend! Always appreciate the input and support! 😁
@@DeezSkates much appreciated dude! Look forward to it.
Deez, it's all true. Thank you. Bruce, John Haywood,"
okay but like how

Check out my video “6 Points of Skating Edge Theory” for the answer to your question.
Thanks!
unless i missed it you didn't say how to train them
You didn’t miss it. This is a video about why it’s important. It’s not a tutorial on how to do it. For that topic, you can check out my video on the 6 points of skating edge theory, which contains basic exercises to use for training your edges.
