    Pizza and chips helps to remember which direction to point your toes, out (pizza) or straight ahead (chips), but don't forget the very important knee bend position shown as otherwise it still won't work if you try this with half bent knees rather than fully bent. All the parts have to be in action not just one. But keep at it, it will come.

    Great video. I've been wanting to rollerblade for ages and finally decided to get skates, went out for an hour today and towards the end I felt like I was actually starting to get it. Fell over 3 times but that wasn't nearly as bad as it seems. The first maybe half hour was absolutely terrbile and I could barely move, but actually managed to get somewhere by perservering. I'm 30 years old so it's a lot more daunting being a bit older. Anyway thanks for the video, really helped me.

    Go for it! Well done! I have another even better beginner resource for you which goes into more details and could explain why you feel 3 times. I'm glad you weren't hurt from those falls, but every single fall carries the potential of being damaging so you need to dissect them and reduce them to falling almost never. Click FREE TRIAL on this page to get access to 2 strewer videos that form the beginning of every beginner class we do in real life. Not a summaries KZread video but what we actually teach students in class. I think this will serve you better. skatefresh.com/product/how-to-skate-beginner-level-full-course/ Let me know what you think of those. I'd love to hear.

    @@jesusrincon3195 Hey! Well I live in England and it has been crazy wet here for about 6 months so I've barely been out. In about a year my longest distance was 21km, I could get up to about 30km/h and I could do some cool stuff like crossovers. I was working on backwards skating which I was making very slow progress with. Had a pretty bad accident at the roller rink a couple months back and I've been out of action since then cause I badly bruised my hip. It's definitely a fairly miserable experience starting out, but it doesn't take long to start making progress and the little bits of progress you make get addictive and it actually becomes fun! I have used Asha's video courses, and imo they've been very worthwhile accompaniments to me learning. Asha's also been on hand for support by email if I get stuck on something.

    @@jesusrincon3195 I swear I replied to this. I've been on an extended break from skating because I banged my hip in really badly at the roller rink a few months back. Up until that point I was coming on pretty well, up to the point of learning to skate backwards. I once did a 22km skate, could get up to about 30km/h, could do some cool stuff like crossover and my technique was pretty good. I used the skatefresh courses, the learn to skate ones + stride optimiser. I just about got up to advanced before my accident. A long way from meekly skating from one side of the path to the other 😅

    Asha, Thank you for this video! During this pandemic, my daughter had to cancel all her sports activities, acting, and dance classes along with that she continued her education online. She understood that it was what needed to be done during this time. She loves exercising and thought it was time to do some other form instead of biking, running, and walking. So, she decided that it would be a great opportunity for her to learn Roller Blading. On the very first day, we purchased the Roller Blades and protected gear, we found your video which we viewed once, and headed out to practice Roller Blading. Need I say, on her very first day, your techniques and explanations made it quite clear for my daughter to learn on the same day! We both Thank You!!! She is loving her newly found activity, and practices daily with a huge smile.

    Asha, this 65 y/o dude thinks you’re awesome. Even though I’m not a beginner I get a lot of inspiration from watching your videos and learn a ton. You’re just a very strong person and you really know how to teach. You’re also inspirational in terms of the injuries that you’ve had to overcome. I have a couple that I’m dealing with now and knowing that other people keep at it even when they have some physical stuff going on keeps me going as well. I learned the hard way to always wear knee pads. In fact I wear everything.. I guess what’s nice about being 65 years old is that it doesn’t matter so much if you look cool or not… people think you’re weird anyway to be rolling around on ‘blades at that age. Who cares though? Skate or die…that’s what I say.

    Hi. This is Sergio from Team Skatefresh. Well done! That's the mindset. And I'm sure people don't believe your age, this definitely makes you feel and look way younger. You're probably an inspiration for them too. Deep in their hearts lots of people would love to do this but they don't dare because they think it's too late and don't want to feel embarrassed when falling over. There is a misconception that you need to fall over to learn, or that falling over is "part of the process." Asha has created courses that takes you from zero to a high level through a safe path, and they have been used by people of all ages, so if you want to see more of her videos take her courses here skatefresh.com/learn-to-skate-online/

    I love this your videos, Asha! During pandemic, I got really depressed and decided to get some new inline skates and take up skating again (which I used to do a lot of-off and on-but not for the past 10 years or so (how time flies!!). Well, I got the new skates only to realize that I’m strangely really scared to try skating again. Really scared of getting injured, even though I used to skate without padding all the time (except wrist guards!) and almost never fell. I don’t really know why I’m so scared, but I’ve felt this way about a lot of things since the pandemic. I guess it’s a stress response. Anyway, watching your videos has gotten me excited to try it again! Thank you so much! I love your energy!! ❤😊

    Hi. This is Sergio from Skatefresh Team. Don't worry! It's ok to be scared. Even though you used to skate, such a long break left your knowledge/dexterity hidden. Nevertheless, you don't forget how to skate, so what you need to do is to take it easy and give it a try. You will see that your knowledge and "muscle memory" will come back, it's just that our brains are designed to keep fresh only the information we manage often. It happens in all fields, but it's quite noticeable when it comes to motor coordination. These positions and moves Asha explained in the video, I suggest that you practice them on grass or carpet until you find your balance. Wear protective gear (wristguards/elbow pads/knee pads) and also helmet (if possible) and practice the fall and how to get up on grass too. You will find that here kzread.info/dash/bejne/aGiOvKyTnruwdJM.html The most important thing is keeping your knees bent. That's the key to avoid falling. Lots of people try to skate without that flexion, because it causes fatigue and thighs start hurting, but over time you get strength! Anyway, the grass gives you safety. Once you feel confident enough go to the park or promenade, a place without slopes. Good luck!

    I'm 36 and just picked up rollerblading again after probably 20+ years off skates. On day 2 (today) I landed on my butt HARD and realized I need to go way back to basics and train my muscles up. I picked up the free trial and will probably pick up the rest of the lessons when I get paid. Gonna practice these movements without skates while my bruised butt heals and then step back into the skates. Thanks so much for the videos, they're super helpful and helping me identify what I need to work on!

    Welcome back to wheels! Well done for taking the free trial and using the movements to train off skates. This is so useful for helping your body begin to learn the new positions and as you can see from the detailed lessons in the Free trial, there is a lot of subtlety involved. Just becoming aware of where your weight falls in your feet is a huge lightbulb moment for many which needs to stay focussed when you get back on the wheels and rolling again. How is that going now? I highly recommend the beginner online course because it will cement ALL the basics and ensure you don't create bad habits that are so much harder to fix later on. Most skaters try to do too much when they begin and then they struggle and get stuck and give up or have a nasty fall. It's so important to know exactly what you're doing and to have a structured list of movements to practice in each session. The course comes with practice notes so you have exactly that. I hope you enjoy your return to skating. It's never too late.

    I'm just really hoping that the person watching gets what I'm trying to say. I find it challenging to teach on video as there's no visual feedback from a class of faces. Usually this helps me know if I've given enough detail or if I've confused everyone.
