Skateboarding is a crime. Inline skating isn't.

Coming back to Shaun's tutorials after a year of practice and progress. Now better realising the level of skill and expertise this man has, it is truly magnificent how smoothly he is able to demonstrate every tiny step of the learning curve. People with this much skill and expertise usually forget the baby steps and skip to the shiny stuff and expect you to do the same which is frustrating and demotivating for the beginner. Shaun deserves a huge shoutout for his incredible ability to empathize and for keeping the "novice inside" still alive.

As someone who has been on ice skates since I was very young (playing hockey), and also has quite a bit of experience on inline skates, I find the basic skills, fundamentals, and edge control explained in this video to be very appropriate for it a beginner skater

Best tip for any beginner is to teach them to drop their weight in to their hips, rather than breathing air down into the lungs newbies draw air into the top of their lungs which pulls their weight up making them much more unstable.

Shaun, Alex, I have been skating for over 10 years now and, believe it or not, this whole time I really wanted to but was always afraid to try to skate backwards. This summer I have finally mustered up some courage and decided to really try. I have searched youtube and came across this video. The explanation and the tips are exceptionally good! After a couple of weeks I was skating backwards :-) This is so much fun. Thank you, thank you, thank you. YOU'VE TAUGHT ME TO SKATE BACKWARDS. THANK YOU!!!

This comment made me laugh. 😂 He’s really really good at teaching.

Thank you Alex and Shaun. I am about 4 months from being a complete beginner and backward skating is what I have been working on for the last month. I'll be adding the C-carve exercise and will practice it backwards for a few days to ingrain the motion before attempting to powerslide for the first time. I am very excited to learn the powerslide and now feel ready for it. I just want to reiterate my praise and thanks, you have broken things down wonderfully in this video and have shown a clear progression with something for everyone to practice.

Just came home for rollerblading and I succeeded in learning backward skating. All thanks to your tutorial. You are a great teacher!

You are changing my life .. this breakdown is amazing and I'm practicing

This video is so helpful! I noticed a big improvement in my backward skating attempts after watching this

Watched quite a few clips on skating and yours is the one I find most beneficial. It's so detailed but not at all boring. Great instructor.

Namaste, thanks Alex & Shaun, I watched this vlog tens time and will keeping watching.

This is one of the beeeeest tutorials I've seen recently.Very helpful thank you both♡

Phenomenal explanation my friends!! Thank you for this awesome tutorial.

Sean & Alex thank you so much for doing these tutorials. Right now no one out there does them remotely as well as you!

This was exactly the level of instruction and explanation I was looking for as a complete beginner. Thanks so much for posting this!

Thank you! This video has helped me so much, been struggling to crack the backwards stride for a while and I finally got it So happy, thank you

Honestly! Thank u so much for your videos. They're absolutely fantastic and so easy to follow! I've spent the last few hrs on here watching other tutorials and yours are by FAR the best! I've just bought a pair of skates/blades for the first time in about 22yrs (I have skated at a rink a couple times since then) but have been wanting my own. As i kid/teen, i could never quite master going backwards from a stopped position and this video is going to help a ton and now I'm even more excited to get my blades tomorrow! Thank you so much 💓🇳🇿

I have seen many backwards skating videos and I wasn’t able to do it until I saw this tutorial. The way you guide it step by step is amazing. Thank you so much 🙏🏻

Hi Shaun! Thanks for this video. I like very much your method of teaching. You are an inspiration. Bye

Excellent explanation. So clear, so simple, useful and pragmatic. Thanks a lot.

That was one of the best tutorials I have ever seen. Can't wait to try it tomorrow. Greetings from Germany 🙏

Best teacher ever! I hope in the next years taking a flight from Venice to Calgary to skating with you!

Omg! Thanks so much for that! I’m trying to teach my son to skate backwards. And you’re saying just the right words to express what feels easy for me and hard for him. Thanks a lot!

This lesson is incredible. Thank you so much. I learned so much just by watching it over and over again and trying to remember your practice suggestions when I was out skating. But, today, I actually brought you with me while I was out on my skates and practiced all of the lessons in order after reviewing each one - it was incredible how rapidly I progressed in skill and confidence! Amazing! Thank you for breaking it down into itty bitty pieces in such an incredible way. Your pedagogy is phenomenal. You made this so learnable. And practicing all of the parts as you demonstrated increased my confidence and my physical and intellectual understanding. Wow! This was such an amazing learning experience. I am so grateful.

Can tell you really put in your heart to teach. You analyze your own video and edited with add on comments just to ensure we get it right! 👏👏👏

Thank you for this wonderful video. It has to be the most comprehensive tutorial for backward skating that I've seen. Appreciate the detail that you go into.

Great instructional lesson. As a guy who has coached AAA ice hockey for 20 years, I can fully appreciate how useful this instruction is. Excellent points, clearly explained and demonstrated!

Gracias!! Saludos desde Quilmes, Argentina!!!!

It's so good to see that Safety is important in your videos!!! So crucial to wear a helmet, hard to recover from a head injury. Excellent tips and transition in explaining the steps.

Hey Shaun, I started back rollerblading after 20 years and saw this video 1 year ago. I remember it and had problem finding it. I have to say that you are very inspirational and your attention to detail in this video is exceptional. I have revisited this video because I finally feel comfortable to start learning this skill. I just turned 65 and with the Pandemic and shut down, there is very little to do to stay in shape here in my city of Ottawa.

Yo, this is the best and most comprehensive tutorial I've seen on the subject! Thank you so much!! Once I saw your techniques it clicked in my brain.

great video. you're such a good teacher with all the patience in the world. great work shaun and alex. i'm gonna start doing all of these when i hit the netball courts next

AWESOME Shaun and Alex. I learnt this from you guys about two years ago and I was naturally good looking over right shoulder so I only ever skated backwards looking over my left and levelled my left to be as good as right but I still naturally look over right when I have speed, Also your one footed backwards lesson in another tutorial is the best for backwards balance. Fantastic to see some more tutorials from you. Keep up the great work cause if you can make this 50 year young man as good as I am in two years you can and probably have taught so many people so again keep up the great work you do!!!

this is so good. I kept this video open on my laptop and was doing many practices during past week. now it feels I am ready for last parts starting from approx 13min. Brilliant.

Amazing video! Thanks for the help! I saved this and will be watching it several times.

Thank you so much! This got me skating backwards well enough, and now you've equipped me to get even better and more comfortable with practice!

Hey there, thankful greatings from Germany for that slow and down to earth tutorial. Its way more basic than most and gives a feeling of really getting better from one baby step to the next. Stay that way. Thanks

Beautiful techniques, thankyou again for another fab tutorial and class demonstrations ❤

The best backwards roller skating class ever. Shaun has a lot of teaching skills. Very , very good. Thanks

I love this! Its broken down barney style that anyone can understand! Thank you! 😊

Unwin is king! Bro you are the best teacher! Namaste!

Great video. One is never too old to improve one's technique. Thank you.

This is one of the most comforting and useful tutorials.

Hey ! I just started to learn how to skate, your overall teaching is helpful. Clam voice, right pace, explanation breakdown etc. Very helpful

You have a new fan. Thank you for a great video. I’m 31 and have just started skating again after 20+ years. Keen to master it this time.

I've been skating for years, playing hockey etc. but it's nice to see how you teach it. it helps with understanding the fundamentals and is even more so helpful for teaching my girlfiriend who just got some skates and is trying to learn.

Awesome explanation and step-by-step learning. I'm grateful that it is still online! 🙏😁

Best backward tutorial in whole KZread!!!

This is the best tutorial i ever seen, thank u so much

Thank you so much! I appreciate the work that goes into these tutorials I’ve watched alottttttt of them the way you explain things with cues really helps

Amazing tutorial, perfectly explained.🙏 When I think of backwards Flow skaters, you guys always come to mind, and Nicola, of course! His backwards flow is insane! 👌

first of all, brilliant, broken down extremely well and I feel like i could implement all these things and eventually develop my own style once the fundamental things are in place! so thank you for that, secondly the case study of your camera guy was an amazing bit of footage, the sense of speed whilst making it look so effortless was incredible! and third and final thing, your beard is awesome! have a nice day

Congratulations! Your videos are very important to me and my daughters! We are learning to skate together, and you are the key to our success! Thank you very much!

Really awesome fundamentals tutorial, thanks so much for this

Learned backward skating on my own, thanks to your video ... a superb detailed explanation.

I'm at the A state of trying to skate backwards and this is so far the best video I could find to get further. Thank you!

Marvelous teaching! Thank you so much from Chile!!!

Appreciate you taking the time to share this information 😊

This guide is GREAT. I went from barely being able to go backwards to being able to do backwards crossovers in just FIVE days! That is insane. I do gotta say, that I found that it was better if I didn’t follow this tutorial step by step and did what I felt was right for me. If anyone is having difficulty following this guide, I suggest you try that out!
