Hi Skaters Just wanted to add a quick note about helmets. In this video I say cycle helmet. Cycle helmets aren't great for skating as they only protect the top of the head. For skating you need a helmet which covers the entire head and is double certified. In my more recent videos you'll notice that I wear a helmet to protect my brain, Living in the UK it also frequently doubles as an umbrella! Stay safe skaters x

Hi. I’m wearing Risport boots in this video on a Star plate and Britney Spears wheels. I’ve been skating a long time so my setups can be a little unusual.

Hi💕💞💖❤️💓🌹✨💗😚😘😍😊☺️

I've been skating since I was 5-6 years old (so for almost 20 years) and I ALWAYS wear a helmet. I've read about a man who was skating pretty slowly but he hit a curb in a very unfortunate way, hit his head and died on the spot. Wear a helmet always. You can skip the pads in my opinion if you want to, but protecting your head is absolutely paramount! I see so many little kids not wearing any helmet and it drives me crazy 😅

I'm glad I'm not the only one with the fear of falling on my head. I was starting to feel silly with my helmet because I rarely see other skaters wearing them.

Agreed. I fell backwards this past winter while ice skating, and managed to spread my arms and slap the ice as I fell, like I'd learned to do in karate, so as to divert the impact away from my head. I fell too fast to tuck and roll in a proper breakfall, but I came out of in unharmed. After that day, I always wore a helmet, even if none of the other adults at the skating rink were wearing one.

The love the freedom roller skating gives me. There’s nothing like skating outside in the sunshine. Just make sure you’ve got safety gear. The asphalt is very unforgiving. 🤕🛼💕

Oke, so I'm 50 and have never rollerskated before in my life but my girlfriend and my stepdaughter started a few weeks back and it looked like so much fun I just want to join them. Today my skates came in (Roces RC2) and got on them for the very first time. Oh boy, I really found it very hard to keep my balance. I tried that snakepattern at a certain point but I really wasn't able to turn at all although I had loosened my trucks at the start, or so I thought. But now I learned from your other video I also had to losen the locknut at the base first so I guess my trucks were still very tight. I felt a little disheartened but this video gave me new hope and a few clear objectives to try. I like your way of explaining, really clear and to the point without the overenthusiastic vibe of some American youtubers.

@Skatie

2 жыл бұрын

Thank you for your kind comment. Take your time, getting the balance is the main thing. Keep the weight on the ball of your feet and bend your knees, think of them as shock absorbers. I always recommend safety gear too especially if you’re skating outside. ⛑

@Carrinthe

2 жыл бұрын

​@@Skatie Thank you for your advice. So today I made some space about 6m wide in my home to practice your exercises like the marching. I practised some 45 minutes and balance was a lot better than yesterday. I could actually somewhat skate the whole 6m and I also learned to get up from the ground with nothing around to grab. I'm a lot more optimistic than yesterday this time. I have a complete safety kit that I definitely use, although the knee and elbow pads need to be exchanged for a bigger set. I do have a question about my wheels. I read everywhere that for outside you need soft (78A) and big (62 or 65 mm) wheels. My skates come with 54mm 85A wheels (32mm wide). Will they be good enough for a beginner like me to practice outside on tarmac or would it be better to upgrade to softer and bigger wheels? Thank you again for your great beginner videos. It really helps.

@Skatie

2 жыл бұрын

Wow sounds like you’re making amazing progress well done. Bigger wheels are better outside as they give you a higher clearance over debris etc and softer will give you a smoother ride. However, there’s nothing to say you cannot give your harder, smaller wheels a try and see how you get on. Just know if the ride is super bumpy then a softer wheel may help and if the bottom of the skate (the kingpin) hits the ground a bigger wheel would be better.

I was thinking that too! I skated when I was young, but 30 years later it's like I never skated, so I'm learning again too, Most channels tell you how to put the skates on and then they go all DISCO QUEEN!!! And I'm still trying to see how to get off the chair with highly slippery wheels on my feet. Skatie here actually lays all the facts out. I feel like I may actually roll by the summer, now!

This was really good! Three awesome ways to stop outside. I remember as a little kid just flying off into grass and falling down as a stop method. Much better to have the stops in this video!!
