I think I never commented on a video before, but need to do it now to thank you. In my second day skating, after a horrible first day, I followed this: " One skate, one shoe and play" of the first exercise. Was making that for 2 hours and despite I saw some improvement, thought it was not that big (managed to do some meters in the exercise). Today, in my third day I tried with two skates, a little bit of "scooter" training, and god, it was working like magic. I had way better stability, and in minutes I was able to "skate" for 1 hour straight, not perfect, but more than decent. I'm 28 and never ever skated in my life, so that's a HUGE improvement of what I was expecting to do over the days. Thanks a whole lot for this, really.

Thank you Pascal!

Share this video with a friend who needs some help with their skating. Time stamps for each exercise below. Exercise 1 - One skate, one shoe and play 0:37 This is the number one exercise to improve your skating. If you can master this you go from not just being a good skater but a great skater; the kind of skater that people will notice and say "that person knows what they are doing on skate." Exercise 2 - One skate, one shoe, backwards 4:20 People often neglect backwards skating but it is so much fun. In fact, I would argue that our bodies are better built to skate backwards than forwards. Just like in the previous exercise this is the skill that will take you from beginner to beast. Exercise 3 - Small wheel in the front 6:42 By removing or substituting the front will for a really small wheel we now are forced to skate on the back half of our foot. Being comfortable in this position is essential to becoming a competent city skater. Riding in this position is the fundamental position in city skating and if you can move freely in this position you can now enter the FLOW. Exercise 4 - Predator slalom 8:47 Spend some time focusing your practice on slaloming in the predator position. This is great focused training to get your ready for the city Exercise 5 - One skate, one shoe and slalom 9:25 This exercise focuses on all our fundamentals balance, edging, rotation and weigh transfer in one exercise. A great exercise to help with muscle imbalances. Exercise 6 - Lemon Cross 11:10 I use this exercise to focus on transferring from inside to outside edges. This move is a fundamental of slalom skating but its best application is creating more power in your stride. Exercise 7 - Roller Squat 12:55 The roller squat is an essential body position for city skaters. Being able to get into this position will save you from a dramatic fall that would normally result in an injury.

Hey Shaun! Tried out your one foot exercises...pretty effective....it left my thighs sore for few days! Somehow it's more effective than skating on one foot with both skates on.

This video made a huge difference in my learning. I picked skates at 35 for the first time and a was bit nervous and my progress has been slow. But the one skate method has helped a lot. I wish I knew it sooner. Thanks Shaun!

As kids me and my neighbourhood started playing inline football with only one skate..... Was a great exercise and pure fun to play.

Ahaha, that's a really creative way to play football!

ONE foot?!? Beyond brilliant... After seeing THIS, no other beginner vid even makes any sense . I had given up trying to skate- but this vid has me up early practicing almost every day. 🙏🙏 vm!

I'm a quad skater, but I think I can use most of these! Your 7 exercises make for a definitive practice/warm up session! Thank you for offering this lesson! Namaste.

Thanks for the video. Its great to see you wearing a lid and taking safety seriously. Theres so many "inline skating tips" videos, where they don't even wear a lid, its laughable really that people can have "tips" videos and not even considering protecting their head. Subscribed - Thanks for taking it seriously, Id be happy if my kids learnt off you

Hey thanks for those exercices, I'm gonna practice them Also, I really want to thank you for all your videos, because they made me start roller skating x)

Thank you Shaun and Alex for capturing and sharing these lessons. props to you both and be well!

This is the best exercise on learning how to rollerblade on you tube, you're amazing. I want to learn and will be following this, please, keep posting.

Thank you so much for the one skate practice idea, you've got my 3yr old skating for the first time by herself and loving it. Otherwise when we previously tried with 2 skates she was all over the place, fell instantly. Now she's gliding on one for a bit and getting the idea. I predict good progress - it's a breakthrough. 👍👌

It's so obvious that you have experience teaching, seeing as you give yourself positive feedback every step of the way :D Love your videos, keep it up!

This is GOLD, Thank you for putting this all together. Really enjoy the way you teach and keep things light and fun. Namaste

Dude! I´ve watched quite a few tutorials online and yours are definitely the best. Been rollerblading for several years but a loooong time and picking it up again now and needed some guidance to improve and speed up the process. Your videos are so smooth. Others tend to do it too quickly and not properly explaining the balance etc. Keep up the good work!

This is such amazing advice! Thank you! Your commitment to spreading the sport shows. :-)

Thanks for all the inspiration!

I was really good on inline skates as a teen. I haven't skated in almost twenty years and just bought skates again. I haven't fallen. But I definitely appreciate the tips for relearning.

Love your teaching style!! Thank you!

Thank you for one more portion of really useful advices, tips & exercises!

Love your videos brother. I just came back to skating after ... 20yrs off. This will help a lot. Much appreciated. Namaste!

Awesome lessons and routines! Will be implementing these in my next session for sure! Thanks for the breakdown!

Great stuff. Can't wait to try them out.

Really love the tips. Tysm!

Really excellent set of tips - thank you

Holy cow, this is great. I've already sent this to my friend who recently started learning and is still sorta struggling with his balance. Cheers! 👌👌👌

Hey Shaun greetings from TomZach and the Burgess Park skate community South London (yaayy..!!). Your patience and positive spirit really come through in your instruction videos. While often just thinking it I thought it is time to say/post/acknowledge it here on one of these forums. Most of us are seasoned skaters but there are always these little nuggets of wisdom that you throw out there and that are SO useful..!! Thanks for the good work, excellent tips and warm humanity..! Bless an' bliss..!

thank you for all your videos. When you speak about skating I feel like you love it very much.

Excelente clase, muchas gracias!!!

Thanks a million, Shaun!

Your tips are making me to improve my skating a lot. I started last year in November and it's amazing how I've improve my technique and fluency. I still have so much to learn but at least I'm able to skate really well. Greetings from Vigo, Spain 🤜🤛

These exercises are going to help me for sure. I started skating when I was 8 years old but I have never skated loosely... I have just figured out why. Thank you so much for showing me!

Shaun you guys are amazing.. Thanks alot for these tips...

Can’t wait to try these !!! That quarantine brought me here.

Hi Shaun, thanks so much for this incredibly helpful video. Im returning to it now, a month or two into my skating career, to try out the harder exercises. I'm struck by how helpful this video has been to me!

Thanks for sharing

You are a great teacher!

very helpful thank you

Thank you for this great instruction. As an intermediate skater and someone returning to the sport after many years, this is extremely valuable and supportive.

Wow the best Inliner video ever seen. I like the idea with one shoe for beginers. It really makes sense. The lemon glide is a nice move.Thanks

I have watched this video so many times now.. "Bravo me" always gets a giggle. These are such good drills to practice. Thank you ShopTask 🙏

Very helpful !

wish i could go skating with you and shaun! love the videos

Best tutorial out there, thx dude :P

I bought skates after watching this video, practiced your first excercise for 4 days and that's it..... I've put on both skates today and fell down a few times. After that I could balance by body. No worries at all. Very very helpful video. I'll start practicing other exercises. Love your videos. One small request...Please make a playlist of beginners tutorial videos.

I love your lessons and have learn a lot from you big up

i appreciate your skating skill, enthusiasm, andadmirable devotion to teaching in a calm, modest delivery. be well

Your skating's so beautiful bro, thanks for the exercises, i'm going to try them Tomorrow, hi from México.

This is a very good balance eexercise for skating.. emphasizing the correct position of the blades

Dude. I love your videos. I was looking for some basic animation reference but your videos have something special to them. I'll be studying them for quite a while haha

Great video! I’m just starting... seems like a challenge to try any of these. But I’ll get there. Thanks for the tips. Brazilian cheers from Dublin!

Thank you Bruno. It will take some time but if you can master exercise 1, you will instantly be a really good skater.

Great video man. Super helpful for me as a brand new skater. I especially like the technic of getting and low and falling back on your bum.

These are great ideas!!!! I'm getting back into it. Been trying to get back into skating since March of last year but didn't have the time so any progress I made is gone now. I'm going to try the one shoe, skate for a couple weeks plus leg conditioning. I started yesterday and my legs were on fire from trying it. I've never seen anyone give that advice on here. So thanks a lot for this video its my go to!!!!

Thank you so much... great idea to exercise with 1 skate and 1 shoe. This will hopefully improve my courage and confidence in my body and balance. I am a beginner (57)....

Dude thank you so much for you channel and all you help. I started skating again after 18 years and in july this year...i fell and broke 2 vortex! But I am recovered and started my practising again last friday! I am addicted to this sport and your videos help me so much improving! Best wishes from Germany!
