This was honestly the best explanation I've seen. Using an actual student is a great idea. I've had similar issues when trying to teach myself, and now I have the correct way to practice. #BellyTouchingThigh
Asha thank you so much for this tutorial. I think it was a great idea to use a student to show every step that lead to a not so good powerslide to a good one, making us know what is the right way to do things but also explaining what are the common mistakes that we do. Usually when I look for a skate trick tutorial I use to watch a lot of them treating the same argument and then I chose what is the best explaination to follow. Obviously I found that yours is the best as many other tutorial you made. But here comes the funny part. Today (sunday in Rome, Italy) I was at home with my wife and she had to work so she said to me : "If you feel bored why don't you go down skating in the garage?". So I tought maybe it's not a bad idea : there are two Asha's tutorial that I wanna try, the powerslide and the right way to do a transition from forward to backward using scissor position. It makes no sense going on watching ten times the same tutorial if then you don't go to try. So I went down to the garage and magically following what you said I was able to do a decent (maybe only about 5 inches of slide) powerslide in less than 5 minutes and i also made my transition smoother. I was really happy I did it. Thank you so much, you're really precious. ALESSANDRO
Reading this comment makes me sooo happy thank you. A good teacher is nothing unless someone is willing to trust the method and give it a try, focussing hard and really following the instructions. This is where I see learning skating becoming a personal development project not just a sport or hobbie. The joy you felt in sliding was hopefully a highlight of your day! You did a Powerslide after 5 mins!!!! Now it’s a 12 month project to getting your PS up to your medium speeds. Then it becomes the most efficient effective and impressive ways to stop (I use it 95% of the time”. You are on that road! Well done. Keep it up. And thanks to your wife for nudging you there 😉
What I love about Ahsa's tutorial is that unlike other teachers where they skate super fast, Asha demonstrates it really slow and easy. It opens up way for me to practice and gives feeling that I can do it. Thank you so much!
@@Snifffski If you meant to learn it backwards, it's called "fakie" in skating, "switch" in skiing. If you meant to say right vs. left, you wouldn't use "switch," you'd simply say "I need to learn it on my other/non-dominant side," or you'd' use it as a verb, "I need to switch to the other side," as there's no label that's been created for alternating left vs. right in either sport (although I have heard your "bad" side as you "goofy" side). Happy skating!
I've seen a lot of people try to teach this, but they don't break it down this well. I think I have good enough of an idea what to do now so I'm going to try it! I feel way more comfortable knowing I'm not going to be putting to much weight on that back knee.😃
I always say "there's knee bend and there's knee bend" by which I mean the knee bend we usually want is where the knee cap moves forwards to cover the toes (or in the case of the Powerslide to cover the space in front of the skate. But yes, how the sliding angle is affected is super important. Every part of our bodies affects and influences other parts and that's my super-power....seeing these connections and communicating them.
i can powerslide now because of this tutorial. learnt it in 5 goes. the explanation of getting you chest on your knee is what made it easy for me. started off very slow and the skate slid! onto the soul slide now. thanks, asha. brilliant.
This is wonderful to hear, well done you! Yes getting the chest and torso down that far really nails the weight distribution. Now you have the 12 month challenge of very very slowly increasing your speed so you can always get to your powerslide with a good transition. Be patient. It takes a year, but its so worth it.
having already learned the power slide from this video, I still love to come back and watch her progression while she learns to slide. asha you're an incredible teacher!

Hello Asha, I've been trying hard to do Power Stops, and has fell backwards few times... punching hard the elbows on ground (of course... w/o elbow protection... to note that falls). Soo... I'm saw this video and my world of wheels came up side down... in good ways, on this time! I'm just followed those easy steps, with the important adend of the pression of both hands on base's knee... and the magics just happened!!! I'm very glad of your amazing tutorial!!! Very thanks for that, and Greetings from Brazil (Belo Horizonte/Minas Gerais)
Brazilian Portuguese Version: Olá Asha, Tenho tentado muito fazer Power Stops e caí para trás algumas vezes ... socando com força os cotovelos no chão (é claro ... sem proteção de cotovelo ... para notar que cai). Então ... eu vi esse vídeo e meu mundo de rodas virou de cabeça para baixo ... no bom sentido, dessa vez! Estou apenas seguindo aqueles passos fáceis, com o adendo importante da pressão de ambas as mãos no joelho da base ... e a mágica simplesmente acontece !!! Estou muito feliz com seu tutorial incrível !!! Muito obrigado por isso, e saudações do Brasil (Belo Horizonte / Minas Gerais)
Bravo!!!!! Fantastic, well done. I'm so glad this video helped. Hands on the knee is an essential position as it keeps your weight over that 1 skate. Parabens x
That looks so awesome!!!! I've just started skating (Less than a week ago) so I'm still struggling a lot with just standing on rollerblades and doing basic stretches/walking on the spot etc. It takes sooooo much more muscle than I could have ever expected. So far I've managed to travel around 30m down my street before I lost control and fell. The next step is learning how to stop ;) I get so pumped and motivated to practice or just go out and work on my balance or muscle development every time I see the amazing things people do on wheels and I really can't wait to impress everyone around my area with my epic power slides! Interestingly, where I am, most people I know who skate are women so I'm hoping one I get better I can drag my brothers or housemates (who are men) into skating with me.

Glad you liked it! Is there anywhere else to go? I'm all about the details. Generalisations about skating are not useful and in every moment, every attempt there are unique things going on which jump out to me and which can then be fixed.
Great video! Managed my first proper power slide today! Whoohoo! My latest cool move 👍😄(I fell over on the second attempt - but we won't talk about that 😂😂)
It maybe my newness to this (only my second day on inlines...normally my wheels are attached to a 'plank'), but my transitions are more 'spinny', which works for me at the moment....but I'll revisit this vid often....and practice :)
Hi. This is Sergio from Team Skatefresh. Take your time, if you are in your second day on inlines it's not the best moment to think about transitions or powerslides. This one is for intermediate/advanced skaters. Enjoy the process.
Amazing. That's mu goal at the moment as well. But she has much better control going backwards. My other struggle is going backwards scissors. It feels very awkward to have one foot in front compared to when I go forward.
Yes backwards scissors takes time to develop but it's worth it as all fluency backwards comes form the backward scissors for ue. Try just 1/2 scissor positions first and just learn the steering in that position first. Then move to 3/4 scissors and finally full scissors. Hope that helps.
@@SkatefreshVideos Hey there! At the moment i can do it slow. when im faster im scared of transitioning into backwards tho, probably because i cant skate backwards safely yet. i tried another method i found on youtube by northern skatesman, he does the powerslide in one motion. i still have trouble turning my standing leg around tho. Do i need to learn skating backwards before i can do powerslides at greater speed or is there something else i might be doing wrong?
I'd be honoured if you do (but I can't guarantee the weather will behave. It's been terrible the last few weeks, but hopefully now summer is coming. 3rd July I have my one day intensive class in London. Often people travel for this6 hr class in one day. It's awesome. Details here; skatefresh.com/inline-skating-lessons/london-one-day-intensive/
Just subscribed to your channel, seems good learning techniques. not sure if it will be easy for me to take my phone and watch learn and practice but so far so good, looking forward to try it all
Me compre unos patines High light y estoy aprendiendo. Eres una buenisima profesora, explicas todo muy bien, muchas gracias por compartir, eres fabulosa. te queria preguntar hay mucha diferencia de 3 a 4 ruedas?
Hola. Soy Sergio del Team Skatefresh. Asha agradece tus palabras. Sí, hay mucha diferencia entre 3 y 4, sobre todo en la cuestión de la velocidad. Tres ruedas logran y mantienen la velocidad más fácilmente y por más tiempo, pero también hacen que todo lo demás sea más difícil porque se dificulta la maniobrabilidad. Por ej. bailar es más difícil, hacer frenadas y movimientos de slalom también. Los inline recomendables para un principiante son con 4 ruedas de 80mm, u 84mm como máximo.
You're welcome! I'm glad this was helpful. If you like this video do check out my website for the Free videos there which contain more details than I usually share on Facebook. Skatefresh.com - Learn Online - Free Trials
Great teacher!! I can do it in not very high speed. But I would like to know how to do the transition in high speed, when I go downhill and I want to stop. Thanks in advance
Hi. This is Sergio from Team Skatefresh. It's just a matter of practice increasing the speed bit by bit. You can also try to do a hop or a lunge entry instead. Even though it sounds dangerous to hop at high speed, if you do it right it's actually safer than having one of the skates touching the ground (like in the mohawk transition explained here). To understand the hop you can watch this video ruclips.net/video/MRCTOOaRZC8/видео.html and if you want to do it using the lunge entry (which is the one Asha uses all the time) watch this one ruclips.net/video/VOgvDKxAhjo/видео.html On a slope the lunge entry will be safer than the hop. In all cases, before doing it downhill you must be able to do it on a flat surface first. It should really feel like second nature before taking a slope.
Just still learning this myself, but switching for the other leg to brake after turning around seems much more complicated and dangerous when you need a powerfull stop when going a bit faster. I'll try it anyway slowly to get the feeling and agility.
Hi. This is Sergio from Skatefresh Team. It's just a different approach and depends on the skater. Asha and I we don't do the whole turn either; in fact, we usually jump if we are going at very high speed. It's always better to keep an eye towards the direction of travel, especially going fast. This approach however it's easier to get the feeling, as you said. Great you're practicing! Keep on it and you will get more and more comfortable every time. That will allow you to increase the speed bit by bit.
Hello, very helpful video, thank you! Also please could you advise on the brakes to use on trinity mounted 100mm wheels triskates like Powerslide Next 100? The powerslide habs brake S/M seems to be out of stock everywhere recommended. Thanks
Hi. This is Sergio from Team Skatefresh. You mean a heel brake mount? I guess this one could go fine with Powerslide Next 100 www.inlinewarehouse.com/Powerslide_Urban_Inline_Skate_Brake_Mount/descpage-908058.html
Nice work and tips for a fast progression. I’m training the exact same and it works fine at low speed. However, I would like to be able to use a powerslide as an emergency braking technique when at high speed and I find thta it’s the transition to backwards that is the scariest part of the move. Jump into backwards and slide in 1 move is what I end up doing, but it’s a 1 move thing, so if my weight is wrongly distributed it’s a catastrophy..
You can use a t-stop/drag stop to slow yourself down a bit before going into the slide (at least that's what I see everyone doing - I still can't do a slide...).
@@MrPymx Bill Stoppard does it (drags one foot to slow down) all the time for his power stops. ...Of course, his is a power stop, not a power slide, which he argues is more useful than a slide as it doesn't require as much distance... So, perhaps what you're wanting/needing to do is a power *stop,* rather than a slide...
Hi. This is Sergio from Team Skatefresh. At high speed the mohawk entry works but you may want to hop into the backward powerslide or use a lunge entry instead. The way to learn the hop properly is explained here ruclips.net/video/MRCTOOaRZC8/видео.html and the lunge entry is here ruclips.net/video/VOgvDKxAhjo/видео.html The lunge entry is the one Asha uses all the time. It works at any speed and doesn't require you to slow down first.
@@SkatefreshVideos Hi Sergio, yes this is exactly the refresher course I needed now, thank you so much. I have watched both in the past, the first one probably more than a year ago, but wasn't ready for the moves. These 2 videos are packing all the answers to my current questions, except where to LOOK when backwards sliding (I feel this has an impact on my shoulder position, direction). Thanks again!
Hi Asha ! I bought your online course on the powerslide. There you teach this transition into powerslide, and I would like to ask you if you would use this Mohawk transition into powerslide at high speed (in a case where transition corresponds to the right one to have the sliding foot ready), if instead jumping is better and if all the exercises you propose in the course are usable for a jump transition too...in the Mohawk transition you always keep your feet on the ground while you usually suggest not too at higher speed... Let me know!
Hi. This is Sergio from Team Skatefresh. In the mohawk into powerslide the feet are not kept on the ground the whole time. You are supposed to lift one foot to get into the side surf (AKA eagle) position for some milliseconds and then lift the foot that will slide. This entry to powerslide is safe at high speed, however the hop is safer. The difference is that with the hop you need to be perfectly aligned, with the right weight distribution, and with the right angle on the sliding foot, when you land. It's like one move only and in the air. Many people find it tricky because of all the factors have to be perfect together, but it's not really rocket science. The hop is actually a natural step further once you get the mohawk entry; so yes, you can use the exercises to learn the mohawk entry and then add the hop. Those who have a problem with the side surf position may prefer the hop instead and go to it directly. Asha uses all the entries but mostly the lunge.
It's crazy how good of a teacher you are
Bless you. I'm very methodical and I don't let my student get away with less than perfect form. The results of being strict are clear to see though!
Asha, so patient and encouraging
This was honestly the best explanation I've seen. Using an actual student is a great idea.
I've had similar issues when trying to teach myself, and now I have the correct way to practice. #BellyTouchingThigh

@@Snifffski *Fakie ("switch" is for skiers ;) )
@@Snifffski If you meant to learn it backwards, it's called "fakie" in skating, "switch" in skiing. If you meant to say right vs. left, you wouldn't use "switch," you'd simply say "I need to learn it on my other/non-dominant side," or you'd' use it as a verb, "I need to switch to the other side," as there's no label that's been created for alternating left vs. right in either sport (although I have heard your "bad" side as you "goofy" side).

Although I am not a lady! But Asha has one of the most engaging and detailed explanations by far for all rollarblading tutorials
I def wasn't leaning enough and was doing the same twirl instead of lift on the transition. I always learn something with skate fresh videos. Thanks.
Ah yes the twirling/spinning transition vs the stepping one. Much more efficient and safer at speed.
As a trainer I love the way this woman teaches! She's fantastic
No better teacher out there. Love your stuff
Something is just so incredibly satisfying watching someone go from never doing something to being decent at it.
Indeed. My job is filled with these moments and it's always wonderful and inspiring.
YES!!! THAT WAS A SLIDE!!! So funny! Great explanation! Asha you are a very good teacher. Hope to see you in Valencia some day!
I hope to return there one day. I love Valencia so much x
Yeah, that angle seen her bend the knee deeper and how that changed so drastically the angle of the power sliding skate super cool to see that.

At the moment i can do it slow. when im faster im scared of transitioning into backwards tho, probably because i cant skate backwards safely yet. i tried another method i found on youtube by northern skatesman, he does the powerslide in one motion. i still have trouble turning my standing leg around tho. Do i need to learn skating backwards before i can do powerslides at greater speed or is there something else i might be doing wrong?
Wow. Excellent tuition!! I’m going to sub and binge watch your channel tonight!
How did that go? Hope you have lots of good infant inspiration for your skating practice.
Very nice video
nicely done!
Super cool!!! Well done and thanks for the explanation! 🙏🏼
Awesome ladies!! You're just THE BEST Asha. Wondering to travel to UK just to have a couple of sessions with you.
I'd be honoured if you do (but I can't guarantee the weather will behave. It's been terrible the last few weeks, but hopefully now summer is coming. 3rd July I have my one day intensive class in London. Often people travel for this6 hr class in one day. It's awesome. Details here;

Who's better than Asha??? Nice work Ellie!!
I am watching patiently from India 🇮🇳
Just subscribed to your channel, seems good learning techniques. not sure if it will be easy for me to take my phone and watch learn and practice but so far so good, looking forward to try it all
Uau!! A moça aprendeu super rápido, algo que pelo menos eu considero difícil 🤩Muito bom!!
Aprendeu muito rapido mesmo, nao é normal assim não..... cada um no seu caminho na sua velocidade. Sem comparações....
Me compre unos patines High light y estoy aprendiendo. Eres una buenisima profesora, explicas todo muy bien, muchas gracias por compartir, eres fabulosa. te queria preguntar hay mucha diferencia de 3 a 4 ruedas?
Hola. Soy Sergio del Team Skatefresh. Asha agradece tus palabras. Sí, hay mucha diferencia entre 3 y 4, sobre todo en la cuestión de la velocidad. Tres ruedas logran y mantienen la velocidad más fácilmente y por más tiempo, pero también hacen que todo lo demás sea más difícil porque se dificulta la maniobrabilidad. Por ej. bailar es más difícil, hacer frenadas y movimientos de slalom también. Los inline recomendables para un principiante son con 4 ruedas de 80mm, u 84mm como máximo.
lovely
Brill video thank you. Can’t wait to try. Please Can we have a t stop to power slide video where you turn on one foot into Powerslide?
I'm in Plymouth and well I need help with everything haha .well done Ellie!
Thank you!
You're welcome! I'm glad this was helpful. If you like this video do check out my website for the Free videos there which contain more details than I usually share on Facebook.

Good girl! You all make it look so easy! Im still trying to do it forwards! 😭
You can do it! The soul slide is a greats top if you have the internal hip rotation.
@@SkatefreshVideos Thank you! 😊 dont think ive seen the soul slide so will have to have a look :O
Don’t address women with “good girl” it’s “nice job ladies.” Not girls women.
@@lotstosay6359 Your name suits you.
@@jadeykinz1026 Don’t be condescending and you won’t get called out for it. Do better “girl”!
I love it!
Just the other day I was thinking about skating in Portsmouth haha. Havent been there for years.
Portsmouth hs some excellent surfaces and is completely FLAT so a great skate location. Go!
Отличное видео!
I need Asha!
Great teacher!! I can do it in not very high speed. But I would like to know how to do the transition in high speed, when I go downhill and I want to stop. Thanks in advance
Hi. This is Sergio from Team Skatefresh. It's just a matter of practice increasing the speed bit by bit. You can also try to do a hop or a lunge entry instead. Even though it sounds dangerous to hop at high speed, if you do it right it's actually safer than having one of the skates touching the ground (like in the mohawk transition explained here). To understand the hop you can watch this video ruclips.net/video/MRCTOOaRZC8/видео.html and if you want to do it using the lunge entry (which is the one Asha uses all the time) watch this one ruclips.net/video/VOgvDKxAhjo/видео.html On a slope the lunge entry will be safer than the hop. In all cases, before doing it downhill you must be able to do it on a flat surface first. It should really feel like second nature before taking a slope.
wow, congratulations to the girl.
Yes she did great!. Most people don't get a Powerslide so fast, but something in her clicked and then she had it.
Nice training
Good Job!
I watch your video from Bangladesh🙂🙂🇧🇩🇧🇩
Thanks lot
Just still learning this myself, but switching for the other leg to brake after turning around seems much more complicated and dangerous when you need a powerfull stop when going a bit faster. I'll try it anyway slowly to get the feeling and agility.
Hi. This is Sergio from Skatefresh Team. It's just a different approach and depends on the skater. Asha and I we don't do the whole turn either; in fact, we usually jump if we are going at very high speed. It's always better to keep an eye towards the direction of travel, especially going fast. This approach however it's easier to get the feeling, as you said. Great you're practicing! Keep on it and you will get more and more comfortable every time. That will allow you to increase the speed bit by bit.
Hello, very helpful video, thank you! Also please could you advise on the brakes to use on trinity mounted 100mm wheels triskates like Powerslide Next 100? The powerslide habs brake S/M seems to be out of stock everywhere recommended. Thanks
Hi. This is Sergio from Team Skatefresh. You mean a heel brake mount? I guess this one could go fine with Powerslide Next 100 www.inlinewarehouse.com/Powerslide_Urban_Inline_Skate_Brake_Mount/descpage-908058.html
Exactly what I was after. Thank you for the prompt reply!
A slide is a sliiide is a sliiiiiiiide. You rock, ladies :D
Bless me so that I may be like you🥰❤️❤️🙏🏻
Nice work and tips for a fast progression. I’m training the exact same and it works fine at low speed. However, I would like to be able to use a powerslide as an emergency braking technique when at high speed and I find thta it’s the transition to backwards that is the scariest part of the move. Jump into backwards and slide in 1 move is what I end up doing, but it’s a 1 move thing, so if my weight is wrongly distributed it’s a catastrophy..
You can use a t-stop/drag stop to slow yourself down a bit before going into the slide (at least that's what I see everyone doing - I still can't do a slide...).
@@cerenademe9433 thar is absolutely what is more commonly seen, but you need time and distance to do this. Like a contolled emergency 😃
@@MrPymx Bill Stoppard does it (drags one foot to slow down) all the time for his power stops. ...Of course, his is a power stop, not a power slide, which he argues is more useful than a slide as it doesn't require as much distance... So, perhaps what you're wanting/needing to do is a power *stop,* rather than a slide...
Hi. This is Sergio from Team Skatefresh. At high speed the mohawk entry works but you may want to hop into the backward powerslide or use a lunge entry instead. The way to learn the hop properly is explained here ruclips.net/video/MRCTOOaRZC8/видео.html and the lunge entry is here ruclips.net/video/VOgvDKxAhjo/видео.html The lunge entry is the one Asha uses all the time. It works at any speed and doesn't require you to slow down first.
@@SkatefreshVideos Hi Sergio, yes this is exactly the refresher course I needed now, thank you so much.
I have watched both in the past, the first one probably more than a year ago, but wasn't ready for the moves.
These 2 videos are packing all the answers to my current questions, except where to LOOK when backwards sliding (I feel this has an impact on my shoulder position, direction).
Thanks again!
ขอบคุณเทคนิคดีๆครับ
Hi Asha ! I bought your online course on the powerslide. There you teach this transition into powerslide, and I would like to ask you if you would use this Mohawk transition into powerslide at high speed (in a case where transition corresponds to the right one to have the sliding foot ready), if instead jumping is better and if all the exercises you propose in the course are usable for a jump transition too...in the Mohawk transition you always keep your feet on the ground while you usually suggest not too at higher speed... Let me know!
Hi. This is Sergio from Team Skatefresh. In the mohawk into powerslide the feet are not kept on the ground the whole time. You are supposed to lift one foot to get into the side surf (AKA eagle) position for some milliseconds and then lift the foot that will slide. This entry to powerslide is safe at high speed, however the hop is safer. The difference is that with the hop you need to be perfectly aligned, with the right weight distribution, and with the right angle on the sliding foot, when you land. It's like one move only and in the air. Many people find it tricky because of all the factors have to be perfect together, but it's not really rocket science. The hop is actually a natural step further once you get the mohawk entry; so yes, you can use the exercises to learn the mohawk entry and then add the hop. Those who have a problem with the side surf position may prefer the hop instead and go to it directly. Asha uses all the entries but mostly the lunge.
