    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.

  • @britt7141
    @britt7141 Před 3 lety +31

    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 💖

      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 :)

    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?
