Raise your hand if you relate to any of these ✋ Can't wait to share part two with you!
💗 you all! Thanks for watching, supporting, and leaving comments. I love reading them and hearing how skating is going :) let me know below if there's any future tutorials you're interested in seeing on my channel here, I'm happy to help out and will do my best to make it happen!
Simon
Love the hair Breanna!! You inspired me to make my own Vans build! However I didn't realize how different it would feel to go from a heeled boot to my Vans 😅So I was wondering if you had any advice specifically for skating on flat boots/ Vans??
🖐🏻 worst thing: I used to skate a lot, since my 6s. 6 years of inactivity and like 35k more in weight, and I loss all my balance. Also, I'm trying to do outdoor skating. Well, wish me luck or agility at least! This 2 videos are added to my "Rolling" playlist.
✋🏾. Wish you were in Florida for lessons. I have so many questions. Lol
Hi
@@TiaBarrera Oh great idea! I definitely would love to share about making that switch up, I had the same experience myself!
Hi there, I am a 33 year old obese girl who always wanted to do skates however everyone around me was ready to discourage me the moment I used to mention skates.
This lockdown I gathered some encouragement and got my self a pair of skates. For initial days I was just walking. I was following lots of tutorials on youtube but I was just walking. I started to doubt my self. I was almost convinced that I wont be able to do it. Then yesterday night I saw your video and repeatedly watched it for 6 to 7 times and today morning, drum roll please, I was able to glide 🙂. Feel like an achiever, all thanks to you ❤ lots of love from India
@@TheeBamse thank you 💕 when did you started skating?
Good for you! So proud of your courage and listening to your own heart rather than those who discourage you! God bless your skating!
I'm almost 27, also an obese woman. Dont mind others. You are perfectly capable❤️
Yaaaayyyy! So proud of you!!! It really takes so much courage to start and that is a big accomplishment! Wishing you much JOY and SUCCESS w every baby step you take!
Amazing!! I'm def doing the walk thing. Can't wait to try the glide tomorrow!!
Plow stops are way simpler that T-stops. I don’t feel like t-stops are beginner friendly at all. Anyone else?
Yes for some reason it’s a bit difficult for me 🤔
As a beginner I feel more comfortable with plow stops
I agree I hate t stops lol
T stops are terrifying for me 😂 30 days in and all I can do is a plow stop
You'll rarely ever see a quad skater t-stopping because they're terrifying. Plow stop is my preferred or I'll toe stop or weave to slow myself down.
I can’t do the at all. 6 months into skating
You wouldn't believe the amount of times I've bent my knees and wondered what went wrong when I was actually leaning forward. It's easily done. Please make sure you're actually sat into it and aren't leaning forward!
Yass!! It's so easy to do!
Agreed! Posture is super important.
I'm definitely guilty of doing this!
Ahhh ur hair is amazing giving old school Hayley williams vibes ! Love ur tips
YAS I love this comment haha. Like punk rock Wednesday Adams with the braids, yeah? It's almost faded now but it was fun while it lasted. THANK YOU! Love your comment ;) Happy you enjoyed the video!
I agree. The hair rules. However, I wouldn't call HW "oldschool" lol. That term is usually reserved for something, well... Oldschool.
@@shadcovert1160 they were calling Hayley old school herself, just referring to her previous vibes in her career.
Gave me more of a poision ivy feel
Something that helps me is to think of “making my feet heavy” this helps with posture and putting my weight on my feet. Imagine you’re a long water balloon and you’re flowing the water from your core down to your feet. If you’re a balloon and you’re light on your feet and your weight is up top, you’ll fall, so if you feel like you’re going off-balance, move your weight back down to your feet and you can’t fall.
But also yeah, stick your arms out, palms down, squat back down and stop wobbling and that’ll usually do the trick.
I’m an experienced skater and I learned some things from your video. Not only am I a professional instructor in several disciplines, I’ve also taken lessons in just about every sport from skydiving to scuba diving, and I have to say you are excellent in breaking down techniques into easily absorbed bite-sized prices, give great demos and explain well enough to get the point across without overpowering the learner. Keep it up!
You and Dirty Deb are my favorite! So helpful!
Thank you! I'm so glad you find my video(s) helpful!
OMG, that beginner is soooo me. I just tried my roller skate today, and was horrible 🤣🤣 Thanks a lot for your tips, can't wait to try again tomorrow.
You are so welcome! You got this!
It's so nice to watch a video of a lassie who is the same build as me skating. I just starting skating last week, and all the videos I watched up to this point (tik tok etc...) are really super-slim girls who look very dainty, and they're all so amazing at skating & I was starting to think to myself "Maybe I'm not the right shape for this" as I have bigger hips, wider shoulders, I'm pretty chonky in a muscular way and it kind of made me feel less confident :( But you make it look so easy and it gives me a lot of confidence to see women like me being so badass at it. This video was really helpful, thank you so much!
Skating is for EVERY body!
I really appreciate your style of right to the point teaching not (18 mins.) of intro as you said!
thank you! I am aiming to keep making more videos like this on my channel
My skates just arrived today and honestly the universe must be helping me cause I came to YT to learn properly and your video literally presented it beautiful self without me searching ha!! Love it 💗💗💗💗💗💗
Same here lol
How is it going? I see you posted 5 months ago
It’s been a few weeks since I started and I’m just not getting it. I plan to keep at it but lord it’s rough on the uncoordinated. 😅
This is so helpful, I wish I'd seen this when I directly started! The idea of pushing while skating for long strides is different to how everyone else I watched seemed to teach it which was giving me the stompy issue.
I'm still struggling with looking up, it's really hard to find smooth surfaces where I am so I always find myself hitting little stones no matter how much I try to clear the area beforehand and I can't stop looking down to spot them as I go
If you're getting caught on everything outdoors maybe invest in some softer wheels/gummy wheels! I had that issue for so long and i got gummy wheels and they go over almost anything cant even feel sticks and stuff under my skates ^o^
@@beagotm9318 Oh thanks! I've been thinking of getting new wheels, I'll try it then
Oh gosh! Thank you so much, all of the "beginner" videos are not very beginner videos, these skills are so freaking helpful! THANK YOU!
This is super helpful! Thank you for sharing x
Yess thank you for this once again 🥰 and looooove the hair! Good look on you!
Loved this video... you pointed out everything I’m doing incorrectly... thanks! Keep sharing the tips. 🥰🥰
Best video I ve ever seen to learning roller skate! Also, you got me really motivated to start soon! Thanks Simon!!
Everything in this video is what I have trouble with. I wasn't sure what a T stop was and you explained it so well! Next clear day, I'm gonna try these!
Thank you for such a clear description of things!!
Thank you for your videos!!
this helped me so much! I'm at day 6 of skating and staggering my feet today made SUCH a huge difference
will def try this tomorrow
This is sooooo helpful! Thank you!
Loved this so much! ❤️
out of all the videos i watched for skating how to's, your video was the only one that had amazing tips! thank you so much!
Ah thank you! I'm so happy you found my channel and we connected. It makes my day to hear feedback that you found my videos/tips helpful. Thank for taking the time to leave an encouraging comment and let me know
Wonderful tips/tutorial!
So helpful and encouraging!
This is the most helpful beginner skater video I've seen, I've learnt loads. Thank you! xxx
I'm in LOVE with the color of your hair!!! Wowwww. Your first tip was the first lesson I learned. I went back and forth in my carport, almost TRIPPING over the smallest of leaves!! I couldn't skate until the surface was sweeped. I really need outdoor wheels.
Thank you!! This is so helpful
Omg so simple must admit straight to the point hands down best skate teaching video I’ve seen so far!!!
Just want to thank u for this RUclips video. I've learned so much for being at a beginner stage. Thanks a bunch ❤
Ahhh so many good tips. Subscribed!
Great video! Great instructor! Thank you!
So helpful thank you!!
Thank you!!
This is VERY informative and super helpful!! I’m trying to help my daughter learn how to skate. This video was immensely helpful. 👍🏻
This is a unique perspective from all the tutorials I have watched and has really helped me a lot with gliding and back pain thank you
Thank you so much for this video. I am watching this in preparation for a roller skating date I'm going on this weekend.
Awesome video !!

Staggering my feet made a HUGE difference Thanks so much! 😂😁
This was again so helpful! Moving onto the next video. Thank you 🤍🙏
Beautiful skate teacher.

Great advice
great tips!
Very helpful:)
What a great video, love the fact you show the problem , then how to correct it. And yes prob guilty of each one of these, haha. 👍
I've been teaching myself how to skate since last December. I don't get a chance to skate everyday and sometimes go long stretches between practicing. I finally got skates that actually fit me so I've been skating a lot more. I feel like I should be learning this faster I can't do crossovers or go backwards or anything cool yet and I see people learn how to skate in like a week. How long did it take you to learn to skate? Your videos are way more helpful than any others I've seen. ❤️
Okay I just watched your 5 Tips for Beginners video and that made me feel so much better! ❤️
I’m 6 months into skating many times a week and I can do transitions while going slowly on smooth surface but I can’t jump or do legitimate backwards skating. It isn’t fast for everyone. I’ve tried not to compare my progress
@@msericaplease you sound like you’re doing well so far! 😁
I'm so proud of you! I'm glad you were finally able to get some skates that fit you- that really does make a difference!
- Feeling like you should learn faster because you see others learning fast:
I know it's hard, but it's always discouraging when you compare your skate journey to anyone else. If I did that I'd just quit lol. So don't do it bby! This is YOUR skate journey and no one else's; that's theirs and it's okay if yours is at a different pace. Everyone progresses at different rates. There's also so many factors that feed into that we aren't aware of, each individual and their set of experience/circumstances/resources is different. So don't feel like you're behind- you're on your own skate journey; you will learn and progress in your own timing and way. Don't be hard on yourself either, 'cause I've done that before and it only holds you back. Any time we think we "should" be doing anything, we actually guilting ourselves about an expectation we think we're not meeting. It may be one no one else thinks but we burden ourselves with thinking we gotta reach that because we look around and see others there and we're not. Focus on you & what you're doing! And be nicer to yourself: accept that where you are at is enough. Don't let anyone make you feel like you aren't good enough because ________. Eh, screw that! You are right where you need to be and you are fully capable of getting where you want to be someday as long as you stick with it. Take the time it takes you. Enjoy it. Free yourself of any expectations of where you "should" be and enjoy where you are now. You'll get there, and one day you'll look back and see. I promise. I have done this to myself in the past, setting crazy high expectation for where I felt I needed to be; I know how cruddy it can feel when you put that pressure or expectation on yourself. Let it go! Set yourself free and give yourself permission to start enjoying skating for YOU and see what happens. Tell yourself -in fact make a list!- of all the things you've learned since starting and all things you CAN do and go celebrate those. Sometimes we have to remember how awesome we are and how much progress we've actually made -despite the challenges and obstacles we've faced along the way- and give ourselves credit for that! And please take my encouragements as all love- because these are things I had to go through, learn myself, and tell myself to find myself in a place where I could be content in my own skate journey no matter where I found myself, and regardless of what anyone else thought of my skating. You're not alone, and I'm sure many rollerskaters can relate this feeling of "being behind" or not progression fast enough", it's a common struggle especially starting off, so don't feel bad for feeling that way- but also know you don't have to. I hope you celebrate where you are and what you can do, then go after some more cool things at a pace that allows you to keep having fun while learning more!
- How long did it take me to learn to skate?
I'm still learning how to skate haha! I think it's an ongoing process, I never see myself as having arrived so I stay humble and keep learning. I end up surprising myself with new skills or tricks usually when I'm feeling inspired and as a result decided to try/do something new! Progress happens organically and intentionally, so make sure you both challenge yourself to keep learning more difficult skills you want to add, but also just have fun and explore things as they come to you. I would say I got a lot of the basics down within the first month thanks to a roller derby boot camp, but some skills took longer. I've been skating for a little over 3 years; I think I learned the fundamentals in about a year.
I'm so happy you found my videos helpful
lol I got mine in December too, practiced a lot in January and February and sadly stopped during quarantine but still I can't exactly glide yet I just slide lmfaooo 😭 and there's people out there learning tricks and super difficult techniques in like a month
that toe stop stop was so sick!!!
I just got my first pair of skates in decades and these all seem like pertinent and helpful tips. When weather gets better I'll rewatch and give these a try.
I also need to find an area with smoother ground.
Brilliant, I'm 5 days into my beginners journey and I do all the Don't at the moment 🤣 this video is really helpful, thank you
Trop cool superbe pédagogie ! J'ai aimé !
This was soooo useful! Thanks so much 🙏 💓
Aww you’re so welcome! Yay
Great tips
Thanks to your videos my skating has improved so much!! Just need to practice stopping and turning, but I don’t fall anymore 😅
Thanks for the tips, and also...girl, you're so pretty and aesthetic 💜
Great video 👍 Really great teacher. Love the body gestures. Makes it very clear. I only had one lesson. And this video really helps. Thanks 😊.
Thank you so much
thank you for your skate tutorial new subscriber to you
Si me gusta como lo ases y tus patines estan buenos.
Choppy walk was me all the way when I first tried to skate
ty
Thank you mam you are great i am your huge fan
I like the bended knee stop or plow stop
I just got mine and have been doing t8ktok videos and learning as I go and so many women have been buying skates so were gonna all be skating!!!!!!
Ooh this is the perfect video for me! I just got my skates in and got them laced! Today was my first day and I worked on a one boot one shoe method that is one of the beginner exercises to help muscle imbalance and give me better balance. It's very tough and I'm very sore, my foot hurt a bunch. I think I'll need insoles as my skates do fit they're just isn't a lot of heel support or padding lol but I'm slowly getting the hang of the balance of thing :D I don't know how to stop or change direction and I'm only working on proper posture and weight/balance but this will help that for sure! My goal is to be able to skate backwards so I can do those cool flow videos and skate around my local park! I'm not interested in jumps or anything just want to be able to skate backwards, I hear its actually easier cause our bodies are kinda designed that way so that will be fun :D I look forward to incorporating these exercises during my next exercise day!
New to your channel... looove the hair!!!
I LOVE THESEE IT ALL MADE SENSEEEE (AND NICR HAIRRRRR)
That was awesome 😎....I had experienced as a youth. That was over 20 years ago 😂. Bringing them back out of the closet. THANKS🎉
I got my roller skates yesterday and realised I was doing it all wrong 😂 thank you so much for this video, it helped A LOT!
Relearning how to skate here! First off love, love your hair. Second, thanks for the tips.
I like your new hair color! It’s a very pretty color!
Omg 😱 I had to start the video over you are gorgeous!!!!
Got my skates in yesterday but I feel the need to watch these videos first before I attempt it lmao. I used to skate in roller blades growing up and then didn’t do it for a very long time until my first attempt at ice skating 10 years ago which went pretty well surprisingly. So guess I’ll see how roller skating will be like having not skated in over the 10 years 😭. Thank you for this video hopefully it goes well lmao 😆
What wheels do you use for the outdoors on roads and stuff love your videos btw!
Thank you so much for this! I can honestly say that for me as a beginner skater, these two videos by you have helped me the most
In my 40s and need fun outdoor exercise. Waiting for my skates to be delivered from Amazon and watching videos. Glad I found your channel! Very good video!! #newsubbie
Thanks a lot for this video i did know most of it as things that i need to work on but had no idea about staggering my feet… btw what are your wheels ? Thank you
I’m pretty sure I just sprained my wrist 🤣 needed this video.
9.46 coolest shit ive ever seen.. This was sooo helpful. I've learned soo much from just this video than i have with soo many I've seen combined
Thank you! I'm so stoked you found it helpful!
Great video! Skating is so fun but stopping never is. There are many ways to stop, but pretty much all of them aside from just gradually losing speed across a long distance age your wheels substantially. Wheels are expensive, so I have to get creative with my stops so as to not spend $100 every month on new wheels.
Its both fun and funny
Just like me :)
Great video! I wish that had watched this a couple of months ago when I first started skating.
Thank you so much your tutorials but especially for doing them in FLAT SKATES! I'm learning in a pair of Chayas and almost all the content on RUclips is girls in heeled skates. Very different centre of gravity!
Yes! You're welcome Eve! I agree, thanks for appreciating :) I've loved the switch to my Vans DIY skates, never going back to a heeled boot.
@@simon_slays55 You’re welcome! I initially chose flat-boot skates because my feet are too wide for the heeled types, and my ankles felt claustrophobic! :) It takes a bit longer to learn to balance but yeah, so much more comfortable. Thanks again for the flat-boot girl content!
You are amazing girl!
You see in others what is in you
Omg this is the FIRST video where I actually learned and caught on! Lol. I felt the glide under my feet! I finally got it. Only thing is I skate too fast lol. I’m learning to stop too but I’m happy I staggered my feet! That had to be the BEST advice ever given! 🙃😆! Can’t wait to go to the rink tomorrow. I literally just practiced in my basement for over an hr once I caught on lol. I don’t want to forget. 😣
Yay! I’m so happy to read your comment, thanks for sharing 💖 have fun skating!
im just starting in this and i couldnt have found a better guide uvu
sorry btw, my english is poopoo
yay I'm so happy :)
