- Over the past few months, I’ve had a few requests for trick tips. So instead of trying to teach one trick at a time, I thought I’d try to make a video that breaks down my process for learning all new grinds.

Thanks for the support!

Basic skating! Yes. I’m seeing too many of us older guys trying to get back into it and trying to relearn grinds before getting their skate legs back. Also if you can’t skate,
It doesn’t matter what the grind is, it’s going to look like shit
41 years and getting back into it. having a lot of fun but man falls are terrible.
I know there are other tutorial channels, and that your are trying to stay away from it. But, i think you can give amazing tutorials, the intellectual level and details are always on higher level when you explain things. IMHO..
BODY POSITIONS! YESS!
Consciousness of the body, hip mobility and proprioception (I know big words) are so important! Great video my man! Thanks! 🙌
Teach me your ways you rail dancer you! Really solid things to think about here when learning new grinds.
@mushroomblading has the real answers you seek. Jump on. Slide down.
@@coreyenglish8706 lol
Corey, you are my PRO. I’m 40 and relearning all my grinds... and things are hairy at times ( like fish brains), but like you said it is a mind game.
Love the CFI reference, 100% so true, I became a better rotorcraft pilot, when I was able to explain everything I know to a newer private pilot. It reinforces what you know and confidence sets in so well.
Again rad video.
Skating is an art form. Your making shapes with yourbody in motion and time.
I love the mindgame logo inclusion. That took me back :)
The first tip immediately made me think of Mistrials. A lot of people soul and backslide on the same foot. You need one of each for a Mistrial and you can't do both with the same foot, so one has to be "switch".
That's what's weird for me . Lots of my topside tricks I do " switch " but otherwise can't do straight boot tricks switch to me. Still super unnatural
Facts! Having the "natural and switch" mindset when you are learning tricks is going to hold you back. This was very prominent when a lot of us started skating back in the 90s and I STILL think of everything this way. Ive become a lot more comfortable doing "switch" tricks but learning some of them I feel like a beginner all over again. Learn everything both ways from the get-go.
when you learn a new trick, its better to learn it on yopur favourite side first and then on your...less favourite or is it better to learn both at once?
what a waste of time that would be
the illusive switch fs torque
Thanks for the tips very truthful , I started ice skating at 5years old got my first pair of inline Skate at 7 and Started Agressive inline at 30 but the fundamentals of skating were already mastered so yes it makes a big difference and One tip I Would Had when you want a learn a new trick Use protections gear I'm 33 and I don't skate in park Without : Wrist Guard, knee pads and Elbow pad + An helmet all the time and that was the minimum throught the years I had shin guard and gform Short for hips and Butt sometime I even put a motocross chest protector in pool or bowl so I won't break my ribs in worst case scenario, it helps a lot to build your confidence and full commitment when you know that you can fall without having to call it a day I usually used two different pair of wrist guard per summer cause they took the beating 90% of the time
The switch/regular point was really interesting. I find this especially relevant for me with topsides - regular soul grinds I prefer to do most of them right footed, but topsides I feel so much more comfortable doing them left footed. It actually makes for some interesting switch-ups and I think you're right that it's psychological and experiential. Put the time in and you can develop that natural feel for 'wrong footed' grinds.
Great video. Thanks dawg
Great video and great tips! Love the Mushroom Blading hoodie!
Love the tips mate. The first one resonates so well with me. I used to think "switch" a lot and now I know that my "switch" Mizu is actually stronger than the "regular"
Funny I never thought about normal or switch when I learned tricks I didn't start thinking about what was considered switch to me until I played a game of blade with other skaters. I just figured learn the trick with both feet till its natural either way. I feel like I progress slowly tho with tricks sense im determined to learn them in normal and switch before I move on. Whever I play a game i just say my normal side is whatever side feels the most comfortable to me and switch is the slightly harder side.
For me, most of the grinds that I fall off of are when I step-up instead of jumping with both feet. Commitment is key to good skating :)
Great tips in this. Knowing when to call it a day is a really important one.. or even just have a break and try some other tricks, so that you can come back to the one you're trying to learn with a fresh mindset. It can make all the difference.
Great video, great advice
I Love IT learn New Switch Tricks ,the Process is all what i need
2:33 👌
Just started skating again last week and did my first (again) grinds last night. Didn’t have the commitment and slid out the first time but I have a mizou and soul 180 out lol. Everyday trying something new or dial something in. I hate that my body doesn’t match my mental capability yet but I’m having a blast🤣❤️
I'm soo bad at walking away😆 I rather get pissed, get a beer and quit... But I'm working on it🙈
Sometimes that’s a solid plan too. 😂
These are all the things I'm retraining my mine around the last couple months. You put what's been going through my head in the driveway perfectly into words. I'm finally moving to switch ups after a couple weeks of saying screw switch. its just is whatever foot I can do it on.
Just recently discovered the 90 degree theory and opened up a new world of grind potentials.
Thanks Corey for sharing keep it up
Ayoo soon as I saw the park I instantly knew where you were, now this is an awesome find
1:05 you’re friends with Childish Gambino man dayum
Damn man....some solid freaking tricks in there. Tru soul 360 out? Switch front torque? Wow
🍻
Yes. The man takes the words out of my mouth lol so good
Lol mindgame logo…well played sir
Super-clean mistrials on that low rail bro
That front left footed torque is tough for a natural right footer torque-er
Definitely is. Not as terrible as most though. I’m righty torque and lefty backslide vs. doing both with the same foot.
Yeah this is how I learned. 90 degree angles makes total sense.
The switch mentality was new and interesting though. Nice work man
For the first time in RUclips, I see and hear what I thought about and what I went through myself applying logic to the development of skating. thank you very much. share your thoughts, I will be happy!
You're such a great blader. So smooth and a joy to watch.
Thanks for the nice Tutorial! I have to address one thing on your first tip, whereas one should not think of fakie or switch too much. In my class in motion science (I have a master in sports and excercise science) we learned about "cross-learning". Cross-learning something means to learn and improve a movement solely with your right hand, but your left hand will also improve in some extent regardless, wheather you actually ever did that movement with that hand. In short: Your switch improves automatically in some extent, by practicing regular. So in my optinion it was no "mistake" as you put it, but just "cross-learning". You probably couldn't do your tricks switch better, before even learning it to do regular. And I also guess, that you were pretty surprised, when you found out how good and natural it felt to do certain tricks switch. Sorry for beeing a smart-a**.
Thanks. 🙏 And no worries. I didn’t take thisas a smart ass comment. It’s awesome to hear from people who know more about human movement than I do. It’s also nice to know there’s some actual science behind what I was getting at. If skating regular will improve your switch without actually working on it, why not practice both, you know? What you’re saying is definitely what I experienced. Once I started trying things right footed, they came quicker because my brain had already figured out how to do them left footed. Just a matter of mirroring that motion.
I agree 👍🔥🔥🔥
Regarding this small adjustments to trick your brain into learning new tricks - this is a good advise. This is exactly how I started learning switch top soul. I am comfortable doing switch soul and from there it's just a small adjustment by basically thinking you are trying to jump on the other side of the obstacle, in terms of locking (if that makes sense).
Great break down of the ‘art of learning’ grinds. Your comment about body position is salient, just last night trying to figure out the right frontside balance on the last 5ft of a 30ft coping ledge.
Gonna work progressively, doing the curved section, a little into the straight, then combine.
Cheers, keep up the great content.
I really liked this episide and how you described all of it, it was also inspiring for me to get that mindset and learn some new tricks again. I'm growing on your channel. Keep it going.
Great video! Thank you
i agree with the last tip, im about 8 days into skating and am slowing preparing myself mentally for grinds
I always wanted to have a style similar to gonzo, alex nunez, aragon that crouched baggy style was always my favorite
Franky?
Being short would definitely help
Thx
Love your videos man. Super inspirational stuff. Especially for me. I am relearning to roll again after 15+years. Also with restarting my airline career finally. I Can't wait to shred some new spots out there. Your channel is easily one of the best out here. Sesh one day haha. Be well ✌
Wild time to get back into the aviation world. Hopefully things settle down soon. Welcome back.
@@coreyenglish8706 Super wild time.. Hope so too. Gotta earn my way back up it seems. Contractors 😞 Grateful too of course though. Thank you for the welcome back sir.Have a good Flight ✈ don't forget about your fellow bladers down here in ground ops lol.
Quality videos bro
Great advice and superb video as usual! Thumbs up! :)
I tried to find correlation between boot foot and strong hand. There really is none.
But I cant dkate switch for SHIT and I been distinguished since the 90s. But a few of my topside tricks I go topside with the other foot. I appreciate your approach
My knees hurt watching the thumbnail hahahahaa happy late bday dudes wife!
I just recently learned to do a frontside. A game changer for me was to think of it as a 90°spin and to turn the same way I usually spin. I kept trying to grind with my right foot in front (dominant foot), but when I do spins i actually spin to the right. So i tried grinding left foot at the front. It took a little bit to get used to mentally, because my brain was telling me to do the opposite, but after that it felt more natural and was easier to commit and lock the grind
Nice instruction video!
This dude is the truth !
this ones a banger
Thats good!
This is a great video! Been thinking about getting back into Rollerblading, as I used to be avid in the sport when I was younger.
Also, your Mic is incredible! May need to buy one for my camera! :)
I made a p rail and have just started again after 18 years. It’s way harder and more dangerous than I remember. My h block grinds are way to slippery and my soul grinds just stick. I’m using some ancient Bauer skates and they are a bad design than wedges the soul on the rail...
Nice video.
Tip: Before exporting the video for upload to RUclips, select all audio and create fades. In, out, and crossfades.
Almost all cuts has a click/pop. You storytell super great, which bear witness to hard work making the videos, so you might as well get it all right.
(The music is also still too loud.) 😉😁
Appreciate the feedback. Unfortunately, I’m limited by technology at the moment. One of these days I’ll drop some coin on a computer, but right now I do everything on my phone and the editing software can only do so much. Hopefully I can start making improvements sooner rather than later.
The thing no one tells you after 20 years of not skating then picking it back up again (talking about me)... the sore muscles the next day are real....
Can you do roller hockey in aggressive skates?
Sick stuff!
Subscribed 🤌🏼
👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Miss your videos
To grind slide do you need special blades or will regular blades work as well. For instance I own roller blade twister with stock rail mounts or whatever you call um, will that work or do I need special ones like what your blades have
You will want to pick up some dedicated “aggressive” skates if you want to get into grinds. Some grinds can be done on regular skates, but it is far more difficult.
Great video as always! Do you have any tips on Tru Soul’s?. I can Tru Miz pretty comfortably but can’t train my brain / legs to commit to the soul..
Not really beyond fully commit. I’m still not consistent with that trick myself, but I find that if I jump higher that I “need” to and make sure I get on top of the ledge rather than next to it, it works out better. Most of the time I just get lazy leg with the soul so I just try to over correct for that and lift it higher than needed.
Are you planning to do a review of these Kizer Fluid 5 frames in the future? I'm so curious what you think about them!
In my head, yes. I’ve been loving my THEM frames too much to swap right now though. I feel like the fluid 5 gets slept on. I really did enjoy it more than I expected for the 10 minutes that I did ride them. The small is also a great length for anyone riding the XS them shell.
👉“Get good at skating first”👈
👆
how good is "good"?
Imo most important is maximum protection gear, you will lose half the season if you fall unluckily.
That intro trick hurt me lol
These are great man. I noticed you fall without putting your hands down... how did you learn that??
I learned it the wrong way. Skating with injured wrists makes you hyper conscious about not putting them down. I try to do it all of the time, but I still land on my hands more than I’d like.
@@coreyenglish8706 I feel ya... after so many years of banging them up I really need to pay more attention to falling now. I really enjoy your videos. If you ever fly into the Bay Area I’d love to skate.
Can you teach us how to do 540 negative mistrials on down rails?
I would suggest trying to contact Josh Letona for advice on tricks of that nature. Best I can do is just tell you to send it
Haha I was doing pornstar grind which I know how to do but happen to land with my upper body leaning forward too much and it threw me over and I landed on a finger which ended up breaking my hand. But hey every fall is a lesson.
where was this park again?
Penn hills.
Every tutorial video I've ever seen are somehow filmed at empty skate parks. The skate parks in my area are literally packed all day and night so it's hard to get practice
what park is this?
Penn hills in Pittsburgh, PA.
I try but not easy
Just had to say I HIGHLY disagree with newer people teaching others how to do tricks, if youre just learning tricks youre underqualified to teach anyone in my honest opinion. So I think you should/could do trick tutorials because there isnt enough out there. The ones that are out there arent necessarily the best. Just my opinion though
depends on the tricks and how they learned the tricks
its a difference if you learning you 360' by just "throwing it" or if you really understand what your head, shoulders, hip do cause you watched a lot of tuturials or got teached by an experienced instructor
sometimes teaching the best technique isnt the most helpful in the beginning, i made this mistake when trying to teach my friends snowboarding. Its to hard to address everything at once when you dont have a clue what to do
@TaketheK I N G D O M At the end of the day not everyone is good at teaching or just plain using their words. But I've seen countless times someone new trying to teach someone else something and they throw in what they think is ok like "stepping on grinds" or "not locked topsides", ect. which are common bad habits of new skaters that need to be addressed before they can't do it any other way, and more experienced skaters will likely point out those things, and in the long run the (student) skater will benefit more from it.
That dude didn't even know which one was his dominant foot? I'm shocked, I thought everyone learns that as a toddler basically. Anyway, I stopped watching there, as the first tip was bad already.
Im still trying to figure out which hand to write with.
@@coreyenglish8706 You should tell people how to figure out which is their dominant foot before their start instead (it's pretty easy) so they don't start riding switch and struggling with it.
@@2501sodapop my experience is just different. I learned the way you’re describing and later found that my skating is more governed by stance than foot. I prefer to slide right shoulder forward (goofy foot) no matter how my feet are configured. Once I let go of thinking that because I kick left footed, I can only skate left footed, I started learning more tricks, quicker. It’s fine if you disagree and don’t like the video, but the whole point of that tip is that what may be your dominant foot for one trick, may not be for a different trick. Try both and do what’s more comfortable.
preciate u and your logic 🪨🪨🪨
