Sis really brought out Xmas lights for this video. Love the dedication and effort!
aw thank you for appreciating :) you're all the best!
Can’t wait to try these out, I’ve been having a hard time getting the hang of rollerskating but I want to keep trying. Thank you for this video I really appreciated the effort of the cute pink string lights in the parking lot 🤩😆
Don't give up!
How are you doing now?
Yeah how are you doing a year later? Hope you found time to work at it!
Came for the skating, stayed for the parking lot fairy lights ^_^
Ok, this video really helped unlock some things for me. I thought I was a decent beginner because I had no trouble rolling, turning or stopping in multiple ways. But I was having trouble progressing into trickier foot work. I now realize that I was doing some intuitive things that were not letting me move to the next level. These drills have given me a better foundation.
A few of these are just what I needed! I’ve been been struggling with my dominant foot being too dominant. I don’t know how to put it in roller skate terms but if I were on a skateboard I want to push goofy but ride and do footwork regular. It’s giving me a total mindfk on the coping in my skates! Also, your videos are aesthetic af, thank you so much for putting such effort into them 💖
2:55 mins into the video and I’m just now grasping the type of skates you have on! They are 🔥!
Simon you are doing this whole content creator really well. I’ve seen your account a few times while researching roller stuff but now I see so much more of your content, great video ideas, really nice shots and your nailing the subject and the teaching thing too. Wow, congrats really 🌟🌟🌟
Get it girl!!!!!
I just saw this and wanted to say thank you. It really means a lot. I appreciate you taking the time to say such kind words and for just being you/here!
These drills are so good! Definitely beginner friendly (which I am) and so not intimidating. I wrote them all done and can't wait to practise them :))
Just got Impalas! I can’t wait 😌
Hai Maam, My name is Bhaskar from India I want to now I am 45 years of age and was very much interested in learning roller skates but .. some times dreams remain always dream but now i have purchased roller skates can i learn skates at this age maam by seeing videos online
Yes you can! I am 58 and have learned how to skate from watching videos.
I'm 41 and picking it back up again. You can learn it at any age. Take your time, wear a helmet and at least wrist guards to protect yourself and have fun!
Good tips. I noticed that I was favoring my dominant leg as the lead and I have started switching to help strengthen both legs and learn the muscle memory in both legs. Getting better quickly!
I never thought that staggered position would help me a lot, in this way I could do toe manuals while I was movimg forward!!! I'm super excited
Your drill videos have honestly helped so much!
AW YAY! That makes me so happy to hear 🥰 That's what I make them for, it really is encouraging to hear they helped! I'll keep making them so I'll share more to try in the future. Thanks Gaby, I appreciate youu
I like how you stay lower to the ground.. it makes so much sense... I love your videos.
Thanks for the Tutorial💗💗💗 supper 😎
Thanks for this video
I followed another one of your videos and I swear I went from beginner to intermediate instantly. Also I learned we have the same name lol
YASSS!! we're now besties :) Get it!!
CZcams recomended this video, i loved it ♥ new subscriber totally love your energy
Thank you so much!
I can't tell you how much your videos have helped me understand specific moves. I love the way you break them down. I was struggling with skating backwards and the second I watched your video it all clicked. These are also great drills. Thank you!
Thank you !! I will for sure do these as much as I can because I can totally see how these build to more moderate moves
I skated when I was a kid (and had less fears of breaking bones and being in pain) and picked up skating again this quarantine like so many others and this is exactly what I need to take me from just going forwards and backwards and get into some transitions and actual coool stuff!!!
These drills are so helpful! Thank you for posting
Loved it!
Great video and details!! Thx for the tips.
Love this and can't wait to practice! More "buildable" drills please!!!
These vids are so well made and are such a treat to watch!
Thank you for these drills. I need to learn how to get better.
Omg, thanx soo much! These videos are really helping! Yay 🤸🏽♀️
This is SO helpful. Thank you
Thank you for your help! Very easy to follow.
Your videos are honestly so helpful... thank you for all you do. Please know that it’s appreciated!
Thank you for sharing. It’s really really helpful!
Oooo love these tips
Very helpful. Thanks😊
I'm in love you your videos and tips! Really!!! I believe these tips are gonna be a game change for me, cause iv'e been trying already some movements and I feel like I needed these background before trying them out. I'm looking forward to put my skates on and follow all of your tips! :)
Thank you so much for your beginner drills and corrective skills videos :~) I feel like you really break it down to the basics unlike any other skate youtuber and explain them so well!!
Thank you so much! Excited to try some of these out very soon. Your videos are especially helpful and informative! 😍🥰🙏
Your videos are so helpful with my skates journey . Thanks so much
Wow I just subscribe today and binge watching your vids. You got so much better from the first video. Nice job. And thank you for all of your tips and tricks.
After combing through CZcams for tutorials, i find that this video has the best drills for a beginner! Well explained, doable, different difficulty levels and progressions.. well done!
this was really helpful! more drill videos would be great! i would also love to see a full tutorial on the toe stop 180s you did in a different video (can’t remember the name). love your channel! 💖💖
Thank you, that was very helpful!😀
I am going to try this again this afternoon. I love how clear you explain all the moves. Love form a beginner roller skater from the Netherlands! xx
Thank you ❤️
BIG LIKE! thank you for taking your time making this detailed tutorial. I am going to play this every time I practice and do it over and over again until I'm really confident at it. Thank you so much
Great tutorial! Thank you very much!! ❤️
RIGHT ON! I learned to sk8 on front wheels only while rolling backwards...that way my brain knew if I got off on balance, I could just put my toe-stops down if necessary...✌🤘🖖
Thank you for these beginner videos! They’ve been so helpful as I’m getting started. I was curious about how much time people spend on drills like this vs skating around to build strength? And how much time a week people get out and skate?
this is so helpful!!
Your videos are literally the best, a whole lot of info and great instructions. I just started skating and I learned so much in your beginner video. Saved me a whole lot of falling.
Love this! Thank you so much. I'm returning next week to skating after a nasty ankle break from skating so this will give me some drills to work on to get my confidence back. Thanks again xxx
You are welcome! I'm so happy you liked it ❤️ Ouch, that must have sucked! I'm excited for you to get back into it, I know it's hard to be away from roller skating after an injury. I had shoulder surgery in 2019 and wrote a few articles for Dogdays Magazine online on coming back to skating to pass on some encouragement for fellow skaters if you want some recovery reads!

@@simon_slays55 oh wow. Thank you sooo much. I will see definitely read that. Really appreciate it xxx
@@simon_slays55 I've just read the articles and they're super helpful. Thank you so much. A skater friend convinced me to go to a skate party on Sunday night and I have been worried about going but now I think I can go and I don't have to skate and just catch up with my skate friends and support them. Thank you so much. So glad I commented on this. Yay! Xxx
Well done lady!
Thanks for the great drills. I'm 42, getting back on quads for the first time in over 20 years. I need this material. Also, is it harder to skate in customs? You must need really strong ankles.
Very good video!!!💚💚💚
I’ve watched this video a few times and I just want to say that this was nicely edited!
thank you so much
Aww yw! 💕 Have fun!
Yo’!!! This was soooo dope!!! Thank you for sharing this… it was easy and the breakdowns were magnificent …….🎉
You are so welcome!!! Love doing this wish it was my full time job
I've arrived a little late to the skate party 😂but I wanted to thank you so much for the content! Best practice drills i've seen on YT. NEW subie! will follow you on IG as well.
Thank you so much! I appreaciate it!
Love your videos and your teaching style - Slay Queen 👑
Aw thank you! That means a lot and I appreciate you! ❤️
Simon Slays 55 I am a new skater and I your videos are the holy grail. Also love your approach - it’s very methodical and you low key teach physics in all of your videos - keep up the great content 😘
I'm definitely trying this today ♡ thanks uwu
yay
Love these drills! Quick question though, when I’m switching I’m losing significant forward momentum- is this normal or am I doing something wrong? Like I am able to switch the weight but am having some trouble doing the extra fun foot S because I slow down so much. Just curious, thanks for the amazing educational content!
You’re too cute! I can’t wait to practice these 💙
Aw yay! I hope you have fun! :)
my names brianna too! 🤗 where did you get your skates? love the color!
Haha. I’m just trying to stay vertical on skates. I used to be pretty good when I was younger. I’m just getting back to it . I was away from it for 30 years... I thought it would be like riding a bike and we’ll, it isn’t at all... need to relearn your balance!!!
Riiiight?!!! I was almost pro as a kid (not really lol) but coming back to it at 41 and it is like learning to walk all over again!
Heyyyy for some reason my wheels seem to get stuck on the pavement when trying to do the snake move. Do you think that it could be my wheels? They’re 58mm 82a durometer.
what is the size of your wheels? size and hardness?
wherein I just learned I naturally skate "goofy" lol
How many minutes per day would you recommend to practice
To me the first drill is like an entrance to cross overs and cross pulls
Hiii 👋🏾 , I tried doing the s but it’s not working out for me 🥺 should I loosen my trucks more ?
Hi!! My trucks aren’t super loose either; I can give you some tips though! With the S’ one thing that helps is getting a lil momentum rolling and keeping your wheels down the whole time- use that momentum to push into the S’! I kinda bounce up and down into them to keep them going. Hope this helps :)
I like that skate space more than I like my kids atm😂😂
Lol na but what type of XXXXXXXXL knee pads are you wearing? I need those in my life!😅🥴😩
But thank you for this, it helped a ton.🌺♥️
GOOD EYE HAHA! They're the @killer187pads Vert Pads! I never feel anything no matter how hard I fall and they've lasted me YEARS
If I’m not able to do an S does that mean I’m not distributing my weight correctly or that my trucks are too tight?
Hi do you have tutorials on how to stop? Haha I'm struggling on how should I stop 😅, Whenever I used my toe stop it feels like I was going to fall 😰😢 I don't know what to do? Thank you 😊
I got you! Thank you for your comment/tutorial request. I just posted a new video to my channel demonstrating/teaching five different ways to stop on rollerskates without using your toes stops!
💖💖💖
How do you keep rolling to do these? I just am at a standstill if I don't skate
You can skate into them! I recommend it! I just filmed them in a small skating space, you don't have to limit yourself
I don't understand the toe toe manuals, they are extremely hard and I'm too scared to try them without holding anything around me...
Not really understanding how to do the S-shape without lifting my wheels at all. They resist and make a lot of friction, I lose my balance if I don’t lift! Can someone explain it a bit more please?
i figured it out everyone! i had to much weight on my front foot :)
For some reason I can do footwork, but for the life of me cannot figure out transition, like simply turning around
did you crash into the wall ?
Very tai chi.
Is it weird that my arms are so sore after skating? 😅
Yes my deltoids in my arms burn after lol , it’s a whole body workout. Take an Aleve before skating it really helps
the music was too loud to hear you talking. gave me a headache especially at the beginning
It still takes FOREVER for the instructions to start so… come on let’s go.
You never ever want your stance that far apart. Ever. Your feet should be no more than a few inches apart, not even hip width. That’s just one of the many inaccuracies you’re “teaching” here. What you’re actually doing is showing sure-fire ways to injure yourself.
I’m gold level RSA, competitive skater in freestyle, loops, solo, and partners. You’re trying to teach something you aren’t qualified to teach. You are going to be responsible for the injuries of anyone who watches this and follows you poor “instruction”.
If you aren’t qualified in a subject, especially one that can cause permanent damage,why on earth are you “ teaching “ it?
Get it girl.. keep thrashin!
