Just went skating for the first time since high school, I’m 56, we had a blast and after 30min it all started coming back. Just found your videos to help me improve. Thanks, keep up the good work.
Skatie I love your videos!!! I just started skating and your videos have been invaluable for me to be able to learn what I'm doing! They're so high quality and straight to the point. And you're obviously so knowledgeable about skating! Thank you!
Perfect timing ! I try working on my backward skating since yesterday and the best I could do was 10 meter and being stop because I put too much my weight on the front of the skates. I also tried bubbles but I stucked my wheels together ^^'. Now I have some good exercises to work on, thank you !!
Thank you for this! I’ve stopped crashing into the couch and can now use my toe stop 😁😁 I’m still getting the hang of weight placement but I’m falling much less now. Your videos are really helping!
Well yes I seem to have got best idea just seen dirty Debbie going backwards downhill..I can do that.just got be careful as I lost my eye as a kid so I’m used to turning head more anyway .😀
Must be your hubby that does editing and special affects...kudos to him. Videos just would not be the same. One of the main reasons besides your helpful clear instructions of how to skate and progress, I actually look forward to watching your videos are all the special affects. Thank you. Makes it fun and sets your videos apart from all the rest.
Hi skatie.I found country road by me for skating on and it was quiet and smooth but found myself goin downhill a bit which was bit scary as I’m not so good at stopping forward as backward.would normally flip round to stop.I’m not confident to do t stop with my old legs yet .I know u can carve to slow down but road was narrow .of course would have dived in hedge if anything came down road didn’t use headphones so could listen to traffic about but was so quiet there .just come back from Penzance did roller disco.great .met some lovely people.
I love your videos! You get to the point quickly, you stay on point nicely, and you wrap it up like a pro! I'm more likely to "share, like, and subscribe" when the content is rich! Thanks for what you do!
Can you make a video on backwards skating with one foot? I understand knowing your edges is crucial and using your lifted foot to guide your body is important too but is there something I am missing?
I loosened my trucks and wheels but I can’t even do a good bubbles. I bought the C7 skates from Amazon. What am I doing wrong? My skates seems so stiff, seems like they only go back and forward.
It could be that your cushions are very hard. (The rubber coloured bit on the trucks). If you’re loosening the trucks but getting no movement it’s likely a Change of cushion would improve things.
i am not able to go backwards on one feet.. :( I can do backward bubbles and going backwards on two feet, but no way on one feet.. Do you have any advice or tutorial regarding that?
I'm working on my backwards bubbles but i still don't have it... but I'm progressing slowly though. I'm almost there... i think I'm just too scared to go fast, but if i don't give myself power, i can't do it 😂😂😂
@@Skatie I practiced again today and I got a few right! I make the mistake to try to use only one foot though (like putting my weight on my main foot instead of both) but I’m getting there, even if I can’t do them in a row yet… I wanted to ask : what are the basics beginners should focus on first? I got the regular bubbles/lemons down, working on regular strides, staggered stance and scissors (I also got those almost down), oh, and I start practicing going over cracks, little branches… thank you for all your answers and your very helpful videos!!! I follow other RUclips channel but I love how yours got lots of outside staking lessons
@@AB-zm4mj thank you . Sounds like you’re rocking it. I’d also recommend practising edges forwards to get a good understanding and control of both inside and outside edges then manuals, crossovers, cornering.
you make me feel so confident on my own newborn baby calf legs
Aww that’s fantastic!! Those baby calf legs will soon be strong skaters legs. You got this. Although I still get bambi legs occasionally.

Sounds like you’re keeping yourself safe and having lots of fun! Keep up the hard work.
Another great thing about quads you can adjust toe stops. On ice you have to change blades.
Yes! Good point!
Very very informative as always !

nice， I learnt how to roller
Fabulous! Well done
I see the start of dips with the movement of the shoulders 🥹😏💪🏽🫡

I have a video on just backwards skating that shows the one foot technique from a waddle. Hopefully that’s what you’re looking for.
@@Skatie perfect! Thank you!!

@@Skatie Thanks you!! Can all skates cushions get replaced?
What type of cushions do you recommend? Hopefully cushions are much easier to choose because I had no idea it was so many varieties of wheels
i am not able to go backwards on one feet.. :( I can do backward bubbles and going backwards on two feet, but no way on one feet..
Do you have any advice or tutorial regarding that?
This one might help ruclips.net/video/QwmOz2ahjP0/видео.html
thanks so much for this video skatie!!! I'm learning to backwards skate but I'm still kinda scared. any tips?
Just take your time, bend those knees and keep forwards. ⭐️⭐️⭐️
@@Skatie thank youuuuu!! 🌌🛼
Its so hard to pull in though when I try a backwards bubble =(
Think about pulling your knees together or your thighs. It’s not easy ⭐️💕🛼
I like the sound her skates make when she kicks her heels out lol.
THANK YOU FOR MENTIONING THR KICKOUT I THINK THATS THE MISSING LINK FOR ME.
Hope it helps. 💕⭐️⭐️🛼

You’re correct. Part of the balance is having a bit of roll. It hard to balance on a bike if you’re going too slowly same principle works for skating.

The way I don't use toe stops....
I have a video on stopping without toestops so maybe you could incorporate one of those into a drill? Happy rolling xx ⭐️⭐️
