If you had any idea: your tutorials are helping me get through an extremely tough time in my life, and for some reason skating, which is a brand new hobby to me, has become my refuge. Thank you for teaching us
I hope life gets better for you, I'm happy you have found something to remind you life has its ups and downs, and even falls and bails but its all about riding that line and finding what we love to do.
Same thing for me, mate. The last few years have been filled with difficulties and ill-being, and rollerblading has helped me find a few moments of peace, of harmony with myself and the environment.
Wish I had just one rink. I have to get up at 5AM and use a tennis court or the skate park before everyone shows up so I don't plow into some poor kid on a scooter, lol.
I am 43 years old. I been in kick boxing and BJJ for the last 15 maybe 20 years. I buy my first roller blades 3 weeks ago for me, my wife and my 3 kids. We start skating as a family project. Your videos are exactly what we need at this point. Thank you soo much!!!🙏🙏 We are from Argentina🇦🇷. Soccer world champions!!!
Too funny, this popped up in my feed because after years of ice skating and Hockey when I was younger, I’ve recently taken up inline skating and I’m finding it harder to skate backwards on wheels so I’ve been watching a few videos. What I wasn’t expecting was to see the Cottonwood YMCA outside rink where I’ve practiced a few times in the last year. Subscribed and perhaps I’ll see you around.
Same here! I'm trying hard to take advantage of how much I have to relearn after all those lost years, and work both sides in everything I can. Correcting a lot of bad habits I had, too.
Hey dude, love the way you presented this one 👌🏼. I’m by no means a pro skater, but I feel like something that really helps my switch shoulder is to just get in a mini and go fakie to 180 back and forth, but never switching my foot position so the front foot becomes the back foot after each 180. It teaches your body that each side and each direction of spin are equal. Works for going forward as well!
Thanks, that is great advice. I do this in minis here and there. Boy it burns the quads up though lol gonna give it a few more gos before I cover it though.
You said to “get some big wheels” and I recently bought some but to be honest I prefer my small wheels or “aggressive skates” I love the stiff/low to the ground setup makes me feel like I’m driving an aggressive car, sounds weird but that’s the best I can compare it to 🤔 I’m looking to pick up some fresh Roces M12s 🤩 but no shops near me that sells them :/
Thanks for the tips! I’m 33 and Just started skating again about a month ago! Seeing myself improve over the last month has felt so good! Now time to perfect the style and vids like this are exactly what I need! Thank you.
I'm 9 and this actually help a lot, I've been looking to roller skate for a long time now and I finally got a pair of rollerblades. I practice a lot and it's really fun and I can now do a bunch of tricks so thanks this helped A LOT I've also been wanting to show my friend these tricks so yeah we have little races sometimes I win sometimes I don't but yeah thanks.
Been analysing your foot position and noticing how you (and my skilled-up backwards-skating friends) keep the leading skate mostly on the outside edge when skating backwards. Not sure, but this might just be a Eureka moment.
I just got myself a pair of rollerblades and I've been watching tutorials for beginners since I haven't skated in 17 years, came across your channel and so far I'm enjoying your instructions. However, I would recommend that the cameraman shows your feet more because it seems that sometimes you're doing something but your feet are out of the frame and I don't get to see how your feet move. Not sure if anyone mentioned the same as me... Other than that, great video! 👍🏽
I can't describe the feeling that I'm driving backwards for about years but was never doing it like this way. I was always pushing both legs instead of one for direction and one for pushing like a fish
I'm going to try my first backward literally after watching this video..I'll let you know.. :) very genuine and "try to explain it in a very simple way".. let's see!
@@potbreakeer154 @unique_creature06 I'm still trying actually. I can push backwards and go for the lemon. But then I'm trying to understand feet position and how to stay good on wheel (it's my 3rd month)
Thanks sooo much this helped me and my friend! We have been skating for 6 years but we never learned to do this. I helped us sooo much due to ur clearn instructions and tip. Thanks!!😊
Found out about you the other day. Amazing content. I've been watching a lot of your videos with no rest in between. Always great to find another blader. I'm still a beginner but watching videos really motivates me to get better so thank you. Also noticed you saying you're in Colorado Springs in some vids and insta posts. Nice to find someone who's actually close to me and blades even if close is an hour away.
I haven’t skated in over 15 years I’ve purchased a new pair of razor cult coppers today . I needed a refresher and your video was the first one I clicked on Ans from tips I think I might be able to get back into it. 👊🏻👊🏻cheers dude
Your videos are helping me so much because I’ve wanted roller skates or rollerblades since forever and rollerblades are being delivered in 2 days! Tysm for these tutorials
I have the e exact same problem, spin left but look over my right shoulder 😄. Nice videos. It's great to see people out there supporting the community 😎👏🏻
This is incredibly helpful! Currently learning backwards skating with transitions, trying to figure out how to turn and what foot to put in front of the other so this really helps!!
I've recently wanted to start learning again cuz I never got to learn but recently I've been gliding around floors in my dreams which has apparently replaced the whole running on all fours thing. However when I'm gliding in dreams I'm never wearing skates it's either shoes, socks, or occasionally barefoot...but it's fun and I wanna do it irl
I’m gonna try this. I still remember how to rollerblade gliding & turning from nearly 35 years ago as a kid. It’s like I never stopped when I put blades on the other day. But I never ever learned how to skate backwards, so with some padding for my old bones nowadays I’m defo gonna try this pivot, stork and leg weave action. 😁 Well wishes for no broken bones please. 🙏🏾 😂 xx
These videos are awesome bro I haven’t skated in so long it feels good to be able to pick it back up with a little bit of guidance and instruction. Thanks for making these videos
I hate looking over my switch shoulder too, it would be cool to breifly talk about the more awkward way of turning being referred to as a illusion when done before a trick,keep up the good work
Thank you for this because I'm a lefty so it's difficult for me. But I will be practicing this at home. I really wanna practice backwards skating more.
just started drilling switch shoulder fakie every morning before work. definitely feeling a lot more confident with it after one week.. pretty excited to think of what new grinds it could lead to xD
your tutorials help so much man. i started rollerblading almost 3 weeks ago and i’ve been learning so fast, one problem i have right now is stopping faster and skating backwards when going up ramps at the skatepark. like i can drop in but when i go up a ramp i have to do a 180 to go back down
I'm riding a Salomon St10 Mr. Acosta but my frame is a RB flat set-up, I used to learn the trick but I stop because I lost interest. I will learn this trick again, great video 👍👍👍👍 Greetings from the Philippines.
Was sponsored for a bit as a kid im 29 now getting back on haven't rode since i was 14 it's weird got all my tricks/grinds back minus backflips and such i am not risking it hahaha but my fakie is so off makes no sense but thank you so much for this video man wish i had youtube as a kid for real tho haha a few insane tricks i wish i could have learned. Thanks for the videos man!
This is really helpfull! so many tutorials show how to roll backwards the same way you were thought in childhood... and it did not appeal to me. So now I am gonna try to do it your way:)
Well that just boosted me for the first time in like 20 blading sessions with no progress. I am still far from backwards riding, but today managed to glide for the first time, so thanks.
Very informative on how to get to the backwards position but not so much on how to actually skate backwards. I do love your videos. I'm new and just learning.
Switch fakie is SOOO difficult! My main problem with it, is that my steering foot tends to not turn enough of a 180 and ends up steering behind my back; thus, tripping myself up and losing balance. I need to work on it a lot more.
Hmm that may be because your actually the other foot back? I skate very similar in the steering and control of the foot. I skate fakie great right shoulder back but when I go left shoulder back my right foot flows better while my left is weak at steering lol keep after it! Takes time but it's worth it!
Acosta Blades right. It’s switch, lol. My regular is left shoulder, left spin. With my switch being right shoulder, my right foot gets all messed up with steering and 90 percent of time, it tracks behind my body.
thank you. Well done. I did enjoy this video... I am 66 and love to roller blade. I want to learn to skate backwards...I unicycle and so it can't be harder than that.
Like many others here, I'm coming back into skating after a 15-year or so hiatus. I was surprised at how quickly I picked it back up, but now I want to learn some actual techniques instead of just going forward and turning
Yo where you shooting tgrese videos at fam! Cuz damn where I stay we don't be having an out door rink. That's dope bro! Btw the gear is fire 🔥 g! That jacket snaps off top
I am not a beginner and started to skate aggressive again after 23 years but i realized something i never thought about when i was skating on fitness skates the last years, when i skate forward i have always my right foot in front when i do a 180 my right foot shows also in the direction of my ride. For fitness it never were a problem, but in the mini ramp it is still confusing. When i just push without turning, i always intuitively bring my right foot into the riding direction no matter if its forward or backward, this switch of the foot position at highest point is causing instability. So i have to chose to learn either ride with my left foot in front when i ride forward or learn to skate backwards with the left foot showing in riding direction, but this makes me unstable too. I totally forgot how i did it when i was a teenager.
Honestly, I have a lot to learn because I started like a month ago but I am not very good at anything yet. I haven’t been practicing much for a while but now I go rollerblading like every day but I’m still pretty bad.
I’m 40 years old and I feel 40. I have twin boys who I just taught how to ride their bikes without training wheels. They are too fast for me. When I was a teen, in-line skating made me so happy. I ordered a pair of skates and I’m waiting for their arrival. I told my boys “I will go faster than you.” They don’t believe me. Ha ha. I can’t wait … I remember how fun it was. I just hope I don’t break a hip…lol
oh wait... I did it wrong all the time? :D I did it the opposite way. the steering leg was my pushing leg. I had always problems with looking backwards and holding balance with my version of it. maybe this helps me ^^ going to try it on the weekend!
this works a lot better! especially holding balance. I also can get much faster with less effort. still have some problems with looking backwards, but I think this comes with time. right now I'm still a bit cramped (not sure if this is the right word :D) because I'm not used to skate that way and my feet keep twisting while looking back. thank you ♥♥♥
I want to know more about turning backwards. I can turn forward in both directions quite well, but backwards, I can only turn left. So when I turn right going backwards, my left foot should be in front, right?
Man, I'm so glad I found this video, I love the way you use other examples like boxing and explain with detail, I'm a detailed person send that exactly what I need! Im going to watch all of your other videos, you're great at this
Hey i struggle with the transition to back ward skating i tried to do it slow amd thought i had figured it out but immediately fell ever time do you have any tips?
@@saralouati9258 No way! That's amazingg. I did reply 3 months late, but I was hoping you'd give that update. I'm nowhere near achieving that lol, time to practice.
Great video, love your channel I always backwards with the same leg now I want to try to do it with both legs to have it the same skill you think is good idea to learn with both legs i mean both sides ? or onlye learn one way to do it is fine ? thanks
Blade high... Yes utilizing the not yet comfortable other side should be trained too.. To get the wohle thing🤗.. Im was traing crossovers.. Front left and right.. And backward left.. But struggling on backward right... But i keep on training 💪🤟
he radiates chaotic good kyle energy
Im 37 years old havent skated in 20 years, just brought some aggressive skates again 🤘
Yes mate! I'm 34 and haven't skated for 17 years. My new aggressives are turning up tomorrow. I can't wait it feels like Christmas eve lol

Been a big thing to me since I started skating again to work on relearning everything in both directions best I can.

Finally something I was looking for...thanks for the video bro...keep up the good work.

oh wait... I did it wrong all the time? :D
I did it the opposite way. the steering leg was my pushing leg. I had always problems with looking backwards and holding balance with my version of it.
maybe this helps me ^^ going to try it on the weekend!
this works a lot better! especially holding balance. I also can get much faster with less effort.
still have some problems with looking backwards, but I think this comes with time. right now I'm still a bit cramped (not sure if this is the right word :D) because I'm not used to skate that way and my feet keep twisting while looking back.
thank you ♥♥♥
I want to know more about turning backwards. I can turn forward in both directions quite well, but backwards, I can only turn left. So when I turn right going backwards, my left foot should be in front, right?
Good lesson. Im new to inline and learned on ice. When I skate backwards I default to alternating c-cuts. Is that a detriment?
