Thank you so much, that means a lot 💕💕⭐️⭐️🛼🛼

This is actually one of the best videos of someone explaining pivots that I’ve run across. I’m glad someone finally mentioned that your shoulders and body need to turn first and the foot should be the last thing. That took me forever to figure out on my own because I always tried to turn with my foot first and then follow with the body. Great video

I used to do on ice in place. I couldn't get the 180 to travel with it.I know it must beconsiderably more difficult on quads. This video is as good as gets for "how to". What amazes me the most just starting is how much the quads just want to get away from me.. I've tightened my wheels a bit more. Helps.

Hello beautiful. I’m a beginner in roller skating and I’m getting the basics very good but when I try something new it’s a complete disaster and I fall today really bad at home.. :( and some of the things that I’m trying looks awful:/ do u think is better to repeat one thing for the whole hour that I’m skating because every five minutes I’m getting annoyed and then I try something else and the mess is growing..sorry for the long message but I really like your content and you’re the only one teacher that I prefer to follow ❤️

Hi. I think it’s good to have three skills in mind for each lesson. One you need to perfect, one that is ok but needs more practice till it feels comfortable and then the new one that’s a mess. This gives you a good training session without getting to fed up that you can’t do anything!

I am definitively going to practise this move without my skates on at first! Great video, so much fun to watch and easy to follow by breaking up these complex moves into bite sized bits. Thank you!

Great idea to practice on “feet”. It really helps to feel the weight transfer. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Do you have any videos on the other kind of pivot? i.e. toe pivots and heel pivots, also known as Disco Spins, where you turn around one skate's toe or heel. I'd love to learn these, and I can tell from a couple tries that I am going to need the Skatie breakdown.

What if I don’t have a good balance on my left foot, what can I do about it to help .❤

@Skatie

Жыл бұрын

You could try going back to some more basic balancing exercises to help drill the left foot. Try stroke skating but count 1…2…. As you stride to get an even amount of time on each foot. Hopefully this will extend your balance on the left.

Great tutorial! Are these turns the same as three-turns? Or maybe you call three-turns “pivots” in UK?

@Skatie

You’re right, They are 3 turns just carried out one after the other, they can also be called twizzles when done like this.

Thanks! You’re an awesome teacher!!!!

Are all these a sequence of three-turns? And what do you think of crab walk but with both feet alike? Helpful or not really? Love your videos! I'm struggling a lot with confidence on manuals (or sliding the wheels more than an inch at a time) when only one foot is in the ground

@Skatie

Yes it kind of is just lots of three turns in sequences. I love the crab walk, that’s another really great version to master too.

@elleyj1754

The crab walk with both feet moving alike, I believe is called the parallel twist(???). I do those sometimes, and I can see how they could prep you for being able to do pivots. Thanks for the idea 🙂

oke, so... crabwalk and stagger is the basics for pivoting.... :) and in time the three turn?

@Skatie

7 ай бұрын

Yes! 100%. It’s basically a series of 3 turns, in artistic skating and ice figure skating they are often referred to as twizzles.

Is the pivot different from a 3-turn? If so, how? Thanks!

@Skatie

6 ай бұрын

That’s a great question. When a pivot is done 180 it’s the same as a 3 turn. The pivot can also be done 45 or 90 degrees moving sideways etc so in that form it’s not technically a 3-turn but it’s a great way to build up to it. Hope that helps 😎⭐️🛼
