You explain things really well. Ty. Question, Is it possible that having trouble with certain skills is not a balance issue but a strength issue? The skates are so heavy and I kind of feel like if my legs were stronger and lifting the skate was easier it wouldn't throw my balance off so much.
@SkatieСағат бұрын
Skating takes a lot of strength so this could definitely be the case.

I used to skate at a rink pretty often as a kid/teen with my family. Then i stopped for many years.i started taking my kids now taht they are old enough. It did come back to me sort of after a while but it is not just like riding a bike lol. So at 37 ive bought some skates to try to practice at home too. I find that if im listening to music and not thinking about it i skate pretty well but as soon as i start thinkong about it i cant skate anymore. 🤦♀️ But i dont know how to improve skills if i dont know what my weigjt and balance is doing in the first place. 😮💨

I only recently decided i really wanna give skating a try and was so caught up in figuring oyt which to buy when id completely skippped the "try before you buy" approach (hilarious because im actually a sample supervisor in a food production warehouse 🤣) Gonna try out dkating soon and hopwfully get some in the near future!

Hey Katie! Is it possible for my skates to have no edges at all? I've already tried adjusting my trucks and my wheels only have minimal flexing even though my trucks are already wobbly (it's already too loose). I'm thinking of changing my cushions but I still need second opinions.
@SkatieКүн бұрын
It definitely sounds like your cushions are too hard. Have you seen my “Don’t do it” video. That explains all about trucks and cushions etc.

I’m new to this channel and I want to learn roller skating, and my question is: which stop would be best to practice as a beginner?

I’d say try either the T stop or the plow. The plow is good as you don’t have to lift your feet

I'm trying the snake/bubble pattern and I find I'm just not moving at all? I loosened my trucks quite a lot so now my skates can move side to side, but it's still not working. I even tried getting a moving start and when I try to lean and push nothing happens and my feet just keep going straight no matter how much I feel I turn them.

Hallo Katie, first of all your videos are great. I want to learn Roller Skate again after 30 jears. But im not unsportiv. I do cycling with racecycle. I have no fear but a lot respect to learn it again. I have a very good trick to push when i am getting forward. I put my right feet on the too stop. Then i gets little push on my right feet. And i can go forward. Also when i stay on rollers to keep my balance, i put one foot on the toestop. It help me very good. It gives me confidence. My next lesson is to skate backwards. You are right, to learn rollerskating is a journey, but a very nice beautiful journey.

Normally instead of a step over/ I just do cross over. They’re useful for more than just going fast, the sharper u can do them, the more people u can avoid at rinks since u can make a better inside line than less experienced skaters. Or, you can go faster on an outside line to overtake them.

Hi. Glad the video helped. Unfortunately I really wouldn’t recommend skating on plastic trucks . They’re ok for children but they cannot handle the weight of an adult. If you’re going to roll them please make sure you wear full safety gear incase they fail whilst you’re wearing them.
