Been raining for 3 days and I just got over a cold. Clear skies and brand new powerslide skates!!!! I can't wait to begin working on my cross overs, going backwards and tackling my city :3 Thank you for the tutorials
You are right. But it's lesson all the way to 10:48 so that's still a big value tutorial video in my opinion. It's rare I get time in a video to show off and just skate, but Rio is so pretty it just calls for it.
I searched a lot on RUclips for good skating instructors, they are not expert in teaching, but they are very expert in skating. . three days agob i watched you skating tutorials . Now i am very happy to learn as your training tutorials. Your Simple English also attracted me to listen your more videos
Asha your videos never cease to amaze me. Looking forward to seeing you back in London - hopefully next weekend. Gonna be trying this out very soon. Need to get my backwards skating action going.
Having a solid background in ice-skating, I have learnt a lot of these things by myself but this video tutorial goes SO MUCH DEEPER 😍 Can't wait to try out some of these techniques 😃
You are a VERY good and concise instructor. I had been struggling with backwards skating for a while up until this point. Your tutorial is very straight forward and to the point and easy to understand. I think what helped me the most was doing little baby steps backwards with my knees pointed inwards and the rest is coming naturally (the more advanced steps). Thank you very much! I hope your channel continues to grow! 👍🏿
I have learnt something here,,,i was initially doing it wrong by putting the propelling leg infront while doing half lemon with one leg but am going to change that

try turning your shoulders and head first towards the backwards side, while still rolling forward. then slightly put the weight on the front wheels for a split second and turn your hip and feet to backwards. start trying this slowly and step by step, you will get better at it! there is no problem if you struggle with this for a while, lots of skaters can not skate backwards correctly.

Thank you so much, it was a really useful video, I am just trying how to skate backwards, when I see your Chanel and this title specifically, I got in fast 💨🤣 I hope to do more and more tutorials, specifically for beginners 😢💜💜
This is an interesting progression, although several months late for me. I had to learn the hard way by trial and error (and by watching your earlier videos). You should mention in tutorials that the key to good backwards skating is decent hip mobility. Being able to do that backward bum wiggle which you dismissed is a good test. The proof is that I couldn't do it for life in the beginning... feet glued to ground.. .couldn't even comprehend how I'm supposed to be moving them... falling on my face - only the first stage of awkward back stepping worked. Very frustrating. Couldn't do the half lemon thing or backward criss-cross without losing balance. Now all of that seems very easy, but that's after months of practice combined with brutal yoga exercises to open the hips and get rid of anterior pelvic tilt. So I'd say, if you want to skate backwards, check your hips and posture. Try standing with the upper body straight and your legs crossed, one far behind. If you wobble, fall to the side and bend and twist, don't be impatient and fix your deficient flexibility first. The good news is that joint mobility and posture problems are fixable in short time and skating backwards will become part of the remedy.
Well done for making it through the first difficult weeks of skating backwards and you are right flexibility plays big role in skating, particularly in backwards skating. If I shared everything I know about backwards skating the video tutorials would deb hours long (and none would actually like that). Hope these easy progressions now help you polish your backwards....
Asha you've explained it with such clarity and simplicity! I love it! will be trying it as soon as my blisters heel...btw any tips on avoiding blisters when skating?? I struggle with blisters big time!
against blisters, there are multiple things you can try: get good socks. sound obvious, but can make a big difference. check your frame positioning and make sure it is leveled and your feet do not fall to the inside or outside while skating to avoid pressure points and therefor blisters. try different innersoles and see if it changes the foot position. lace your skates correctly or try different lacing techniques to change the pressure on your upper foot. you can also try to heat mold some skates, depending on their product quality and features to erase possible pressure points from the shell. good luck!
I started skating with my Powerslide Marathon three wheelers, and so far, I still prefer my Powerslide Marathon four wheelers. Admitedly, I skated more than 3000 miles on the four wheel Marathons, so it is going to take me time to have the same feeling on the three wheels. Right out, I agree they are more agile, however, I am a long way from having the same feeling on three wheels than on four.

I really wish the high adjustable break would be a bit higher from at stock setting. The Problem is, especially in turning backwards I sometimes manage to hit the ground with my break and fall due to it. But if I adjust the height of the break so high, that this wont happen again i can break about 2-3 times ultill I will hit the frame of the break. Its a cool breaking system, not so simple like the habs break but habs offers a far better performance for a experienced driver.
Hi,Asha! What is your backwards speed comparing to forward? I've be made a comparison and mine is about 0.75 from forward, although I'm not a good sprinter at all. Btw got the video of comparison on my channel..
Awesome lessons, I've started back inline skating after about 13 years and I love it, these tutorials help so much! I don't know if it's because of the heel brake on my right inline skate, but I find it really difficult to crossover backwards. Does some people actually succeed with it? Do I just need to practise more? Thanks!
She's such a good teacher..I'm just starting to skate..would I better off learning with the 4 wheels or just jumping into the triskates?? I don't know what to do,🤔
thanks for the feedback! in general, it does not matter if you want to start on 3 or 4 wheel skates, both will work fine. we believe in some advantages on 3 wheel skates though like a shorter wheel distance whcih leads to more agility, easier turning and a lower weight.

I spend 3-4 months in Rio every year when it's winter in Europe. My best friend from childhood lives in Rio. I love living in two places. Suits my work and my life.
Hi Asha! I like your videos a lot and you are the reason a found out about the Powerslide brand. I have Rollerblade Macroblade 80 skates size 43, which is one size bigger than my actual size of foot 42. I have also a ice skates whose size is 44 and I feel more comfortable in them doing jumps and crossovers, even on higher speeds. It's simply that I don't feel my feet when on the Macroblades and I feel like I'm wearing stones instead of skates. Should I consider changing them? - Thanks in advance
I really want these skates, but these would be my first pair of inline skates. I would say I'm an intermediate quad skater, but would these be a decent pick for a first time inline?
Triskates are amazing, no doubt! I just bought my first pair and love them. As for the video, I personally don't understand why would I learn to skate backwards, except if I want to impress some girls or something :))
congratulations to your purchase, glad you love them! about skating backwards, same reason you started putting on shoes with wheels attached called inline skates: IT IS SO MUCH FUN! Skating backwards can be heaps of fun once mastered
Powerslide Inline skates Thanks, I have also ordered a pair of Swell Black 125 (they should arrive soon). As for skating backwards, I really don't see the point, sorry. I'm skating to train myself and stay fit :)
Being able to skates like pro is one thing, but to teach it with such knowledge and professionalism is another. Thank you Asha! You’re awesome 👏
Powerslide needs to use you more often for tutorials. This is one of the best progression-style videos I've seen so far.
she on another level of teaching, number 1 in my list
No one reachs near your hability of teaching! Thank you for sharing all your knowlegde!
thank YOU for the feedback!
Been raining for 3 days and I just got over a cold. Clear skies and brand new powerslide skates!!!! I can't wait to begin working on my cross overs, going backwards and tackling my city :3 Thank you for the tutorials

I have learnt something here,,,i was initially doing it wrong by putting the propelling leg infront while doing half lemon with one leg but am going to change that

Thanks from Brasil, obrigado Asha! Just bought mine two months ago and now i am already learning how to go backwards =]
I saw many videos and i guess this is the best so far. Thanks a lot. I will try it.
This is the most beautiful English I have ever heard. Also, great lesson.
This is the best backwards skating tutorial on this app.
You are incredible, this is the best guide. Thank you and all the best, from Russia with love of all rollers.

my favorite video among all yours till now..thank u mam
This is by far the best method i tried but i still have a problem how to flip from forwards to backwords while skating and vice versa

Thanks Asha :) I keep coming back to this vid as I'm improving my backwards skating and breaking. Keep it up!
Hello maam really your each lesson has worth for me, i am learning and you would believe how much i have learnt at yer and going ahead.
Nice and professional trainer..👍
6:22 good thing I learned that in hockey
very well sequenced progress. Thanks for the videos

Great backwards skating tutorial! Love the progression and Asha's sweet vibe. She reminds me a bit of Dj Monika Kruse :)
Riqueza de detalhes na explicação sempre incrível da Asha, muito completa a aula. Obrigada! 😍
Wow, great teaching!
Asha YOU ARE FABULOUS
Love your lessons! Very helpful! Thank you
Great info, thank you!
hi can u teach how to start slalom for beginner
great useful video, thank you very much
stability is the issue with the tri skates so for beginners I would suggest 4 wheel skates at 80 or 84mm
Very helpful video. Thank you :D
You are most welcome, glad it helps, that's the idea!
how to stop skates when We are in too speed in traffic and public areas????:)
Asha, you here? And it is not the Skatefresh channel?
I know this is old, but thank you
still glad we could help
I like the 110 wheels!
A full technic video. 🥰
Amazing
I really wish the high adjustable break would be a bit higher from at stock setting.
The Problem is, especially in turning backwards I sometimes manage to hit the ground with my break and fall due to it.

Hi,Asha! What is your backwards speed comparing to forward? I've be made
a comparison and mine is about 0.75 from forward, although I'm not a good sprinter at all.
Btw got the video of comparison on my channel..
hey! how do I know which my support foot is?
''Make sure you are doing lemons and not cucambers.'' Hahaha I cried :''D Very helpful video!
The future is not 3 wheels. I love my 110mm 3 wheel setup. But there's just some things 4 wheels do better.
Not to mention 2 wheels in a banana rocker setup. ;)
I believe that 4 wheels will continue and not become obsolete. I think the 2 types of skates will continue to grow in popularity.
YES GOOD POINT
Yes very good point!
Lazy Daze where did you got your 3 wheels?
Awesome lessons, I've started back inline skating after about 13 years and I love it, these tutorials help so much! I don't know if it's because of the heel brake on my right inline skate, but I find it really difficult to crossover backwards. Does some people actually succeed with it?

Thank U, Very helpfull tutorial
I dont know how to avoid the mistake, i keep trying to keep in v shape but it not working i end up feeling like ima fall forwards
She's such a good teacher..I'm just starting to skate..would I better off learning with the 4 wheels or just jumping into the triskates?? I don't know what to do,🤔

Zeebobby
Do you live in Rio? Great video!
I spend 3-4 months in Rio every year when it's winter in Europe. My best friend from childhood lives in Rio. I love living in two places. Suits my work and my life.
How do you do backwards parallel / scissors turns? I feel my weight is on the wrong skate as I turn (I haven't seen a video anywhere) Thanks Asha
Hi Asha!
I like your videos a lot and you are the reason a found out about the Powerslide brand. I have Rollerblade Macroblade 80 skates size 43, which is one size bigger than my actual size of foot 42.

Wow like thanks for the three minute add for skates I cant afford
Thanks a lot this is really helpful !! Just one thing, you don't mention to look back as soon as we can, isn't potentially a problem ?
you're correct...always look in the direction you are traveling.
Amazing tutorial 💗
You are the best, thank you very much ❤️
You are a teacher :)
soo perfect! thanks
Is learning criss cross a step to prepare for backward cross over?
Thank you !
No probs. I enjoyed making these videos back in March in Rio. It looks so beautiful on camera....
I really want these skates, but these would be my first pair of inline skates. I would say I'm an intermediate quad skater, but would these be a decent pick for a first time inline?
Triskates are amazing, no doubt! I just bought my first pair and love them. As for the video, I personally don't understand why would I learn to skate backwards, except if I want to impress some girls or something :))
It's another skill, it feels good, it can look good when done well. Who cares if anyone's impressed?
congratulations to your purchase, glad you love them! about skating backwards, same reason you started putting on shoes with wheels attached called inline skates: IT IS SO MUCH FUN! Skating backwards can be heaps of fun once mastered

Powerslide Inline skates Thanks, I have also ordered a pair of Swell Black 125 (they should arrive soon). As for skating backwards, I really don't see the point, sorry. I'm skating to train myself and stay fit :)
that for sure is a great approach, but there are also lots of people who skate to have fun. staying in shape is just a good side effect for those =)
briliant coach............
best tutorial ever!
Thank you :)
