how to skate backwards (finally) | roller skate tutorial
Спорт
Skating backwards is more fun than skating forward, change my mind.
Im sorry for screaming at you guys.
This was before I knew how to use my mics.
Also.
I feel like I'm on the pipeline to becoming a PE teacher and I'm totally here for that character arc.

“I want you to feel the joy of floating through the air.” That made me smile. Thank you.
I used to know how to skate a little when I was younger. I decided I want to learn for real now I’ll be 57 in few weeks and I have arthritis in the knees. I just got my skates this week and have been practicing in the house first,mainly for balance. I’ve been watching and practicing your 7 minute video and I can tell the difference already. Even my knees feel better. I’m going to go outside and practice that video this weekend and can’t wait to try this one. My friends laughed when I told them I’m going to take up skating since I’m older and not in the best shape. Not the worst but not the best either. But I feel I can do this, especially since I can relate to you. You look like my daughters. I have 5 ! Keep making your videos I’m watching and learning and I love your new split screen technique. Also I have an autistic grandson, age 13 who is non verbal. I see you ❤. Love this and I’m going to do this! I love the way you teach!! ❤

I was in your place last year this same time...best decision I made to get back into skating...down 51 pounds and 8 pounds from goal weight. Let them laugh and while they are laughing you will be enjoying your new roller skating life...good for you😅

Ladie I’m with you. I’m 61 and just started back skating after 40 plus years n I’m loving it. I too have arthritis in one knee but I skate anyway. Some times I’ll take a Tylenol before when I wanna skate for 3 hours or more 😂 but it’s a life changer for me. We got this ladies. Love❤

See if your autistic grandson would like to go skating with you if you haven't thought of that already. As someone also on the spectrum, a lot of autistics feel left out, and he might feel especially so as non verbal. Skating might be a little harder for him at first because autism messes with physical coordination at first, but if he likes it and you encourage him, he may love it, and then you have a buddy.
Me not owning any skates, having no intention of getting any, just had to say you are an amazing teacher! Your energy, your information, your demonstrations! On point, I'm sure many people are going to learn so much from you 🖤
Your tutorials are BY FAR the most helpful I’ve ever come across. Just wow. The energy, the simplicity of the steps.. You’re working magic, girl!!!
no wait your tutorials are so smooth n your laugh is so cute i love thesee ❤
I love your energy so much ✨☺️ As a drawing teacher I definetly need to learn from you and your ability to reassure us ❤
Love this! My biggest problem with backwards skating so far isn't the actual skating itself, but that whenever I start to actually look behind me when I do it I start to lean to turn to the side, no matter how straight I try to keep my shoulders. Also I still haven't been able to nail transitions without consistently falling on my ass 😅

when you skate, try to skate around an oval shape, like most skate rinks, and then as you skate backwards, look over the shoulder on the inside of the rink, so when you turn it's within the rink shape and you don't crash into anything because you're not looking. Maybe turn your head just 90 degrees and use your peripheral vision or move your eyes the rest of the way, that could be it. I'm also struggling with transitions too. Invest in some kneepads and train yourself to fall on your knees in a sliding direction, it'll hurt less. Odds are you aren't opening up for your transitions enough, so look up drills for hip flexibility. I've been told I open all the way up but then get scared and pull my feet back in lol so that's also possible. Start them stationary and really get the opening up down, multiple times and then move a little faster so you can't get away with not opening up all the way. As we say on the derby team: 'if you're not falling you're not learning!' good luck!
I'm 30 this year. Never stuck to skating. Earlier I was at the rink cuz I recently picked it back up cuz my daughter picked it up. I thought maybe loosening the trucks up a bit would help. Come home tonight, listened to this. You said that and now I can go backwards. It was my trucks holding me back. Not the spankin new skates.
I'm so excited to try this! I can do very painfully slow bubbles going backwards, but I think the tip about loosening up my trucks will help a lot. Thank you for the amazing and uplifting advice! Fingers crossed for my next skating session :)
Okay gonna practice soon as I get off today and will let you know my progress...super excited thank you ❤❤😅
You are awesome! love your energy and I learned something new today as an over 55 woman getting back into skating!!!
Love your videos !!! I just ordered my Moxi’s and I’m so excited to start skating again many years later. I thought I would be fine but after putting on my old skates and realized I could not go forward 😂 I for sure will need your videos on hand 😊
I am still working on my balance and posture going forward. I am really struggling to get my body position right. I think I'm doing it right, until I watch the video of me that I recorded. Then I'm like, "Oh dear!" It's all wrong! I hope someday soon I'll get it right. I would love to move on and start learning some new things. Great video! I am saving it in my skating playlist so I can refer back to it once I've gotten forward skating down. Thank you for sharing this!
DASIA! Thank you for ur videos! I sprained my ankle in '22 and just hoped back on my skates yesterday, you taught me so much about shifting my weight I literally learned how to skate backwards in one day and now just getting the grove and making adjustments each day !
Did I break my arm trying to learn to skate backwards 5 days ago?? Yes. Am I still going to watch this video so I can try again when my elbow is mended?? Also yes. P.S. always wear your protective gear when trying new things!!!

Oh this will get you there.🫶🏾 Happy birthday! I hope you have a loverly time!
Thank you so much! You've made me want to buy a pair and give skating a go! I definitely won't starting here, but watching your videos makes me excited for when I finally can give this a try.
I was watching this video while at the skate park to practice I’m still trying to get more comfortable but doing long distance bubbles really helps you grow to be comfortable
I figured out how to do this on my own just yesterday. If I had seen your video sooner, it would have helped me so much! The easiest break down of skating backwards I have seen on youtube, thank you!
Sharing your videos with my youngest skater, and I am remembering my love for it at 45. Your videos are great, clear and explaining the importance of body positioning is so important. 👏🏻
Your videos are so helpful! I recently bought roller skates and practiced for the fourth time today and can already do the Walt’s jump and heel toe spin, because you explain everything so thoroughly. Thank you 💞
Dasia, much love for the super technical tutorial. Skating backwards is one of the only thing that I've had so much trouble with. I'm trying this at the rink next time! ✌
Thanks for this guide!! Recently got into roller skating and one of my goals is to be able to smoothly skate backwards because it looks so cool!! Will def be working on this whenever I can. Keep up the great work!

thank you so much for making this type of content. It's helped me and a lot of other people too. Keep posting!
It's negative artic temps outside and usually a bicyclist, and it's too cold for that hobby. I started skating with my girls, and now I'm obsessed! I'm learning some new tricks thanks to your videos. Yesterday skating was such a positive experience watching the young ones, watching the ladies on expert level bust their moves. Then, the young ones would mimic and try to land their tricks. Such joy!
I love your channel. It's helped my skating so much❤
see i was terrified to get back on my skates after taking a nasty fall.... but this- these lessons are exactly what i needed! and you're so sweet!!!!!!! thank you for posting this content!!!!!
Love your channel !!!

As a person who can't skate, I still enjoy watching your videos. Your energy and teaching skills are on point. 🥰
You make it look so damn elegant and easy!!!! I am practising what you have been teaching.. hopefully I’ll get there , I’m so scared tho 😅
OMG!! I did it. Thank you for simplifying this ❤ Subscribed!
I just wanted to say I'm grateful for you explaining this process throughout the video. Without it i might've never learned to skate backwards. But because of your guidance i managed to learn how to in only 3 hours! I don't know how i did but it's definitely thanks to you🙏
Thank you for this tutorial! Can’t wait to try this out

Thank you so much for this video !!!
Omgggg thank you now ik how. Finally can do it
This is so helpful, omg!!!
Thank you!❤
I started rollerskating a month ago and ive already progressed so much! i can do pretty much everything skating forward, I learnt how to transition, and now i just needed to learn to skate backwards *from* that transition, so i watched this, got outside, fell on my ass for a few hours, and then eventually skated backwards, albeit slowly, but i can work into it more!

Thanx so much I can go backwards now!!!
MISS!! THANK YOU !!!!!!!
Great video thank you
“I’m about to learn you” 😂😂 I like your style
Your videos are so helpful! When you do the c-sweep are all four of your wheels touching the ground or just the inner two? I can only do it when I lean my inner edge in lifting my outer two wheels. I messed around with my trucks as well! Thanks!
Thanks empress
your skates are so cute!! also I feel like this was the perfect backwards skating tutorial. Next time I go roller skating I'm trying these techniques out. Thank you!
Thank you ❤❤❤
Your videos are so helpful!!!! Can you do one on moving around slower skaters? I am slow for an adult, but I fell a bunch last time I went because there were several small children who just stopped in the middle of the rink, or were moving a lot slower and I fell to avoid crashing since I don't know how to go around people yet!
Thank you❤
I’m only 13 and this helps a lot, thanks so much!❤
Thank you
Can't wait to try!!! but first I need my own skates.
My daughter is learning more from you.I am a very good fan.
