@@hbomb269Its a good idea to AT LEAST wear wrist protectors and a helmet, if you fall there’s a bigger chance you damage your head or wrists badly than your elbows and knees. But the most important thing is confidence!
@@Fruit_Juiceabsolutely agree! Well said! Also? As someone who always naturally put my arms out at all for falling... I would have definitely damaged my wrists, so I second third & fourth this...Lol
@@god11751 even on inline it’s not a good idea, you can do it putting the weight on the heels but then that bearing cleaning is gonna make you hate rocky surfaces
rocky areas are inevitable… whenever I encounter a rock in the wild or a sand bank, I rennet to stagger my feet, or fast feet so a quick step step step. Always remember safety is sexy gear is major especially when falling is just a part of skating! Wear a helmet yall! Ily
that just about everything that i did when i first started but i'm a lot better now, i went down my first small ramp 1-2 or more years ago and i went on from there, i went down bigger ramps until i went down the biggest one yet which is pretty big, i'm still working on going down a bigger one, i've only been skating for 1-2 maybe 3 years so i'm not the best but i'm a lot better then before
Here me out here. If you fall 100% yeall at your skates and mumble under your breath when you get back up. It really builds determination. "I said we're SKATING you're SKATES we're GOING THIS WAY" "tired of being on the floor in going this way I said I'm skating 😤" we all have the moments and getting them out feels soon much better
@@chanceflores1786 Sure! I was skating on a quite flat sidewalk. I started slowing down to turn around, which made me more vulnerable to small obstacles. My wheels got slightly stuck on a crack or a twig and stopped cooperating ( kinda stopped and stopped moving in the correct direction ). I started wobbling and fell back. To avoid hitting my head, I tried to save myself by falling on an arm ( had full armor, so my wrist was unharmed but the impact went up to the forearm ). So I fell down, hand 90° on the ground & heard a crack. I recommend practicing falls on grass to learn to properly land!
I don't roller skate but I know how to because of roller blades I tried it I was pretty good but one thing that made me almost falll on my face is that I did the heel stop with one foot it's pretty nice honestly but I prefer roller blades
I suck at skating but it’s so fun so I keep trying! My boyfriend rollerblades and he’s pretty good at it so it’s something fun we can do together. Wear your safety gear!!!
I just went downhill today on the road in the morning, and adrenalin hit me, then I was panicking on how hard I was going to hit the pavement, so luckily I found a pole surrounded by grass and landed safely. I will remember your advice on going downhill.
It shouldn't be a question of how easy it is to skate, it should be fitting to your interest. Do you like skating indoors? Where it is free and the ground is smooth, music playing and you're free to groove as much as you like? Try quad skates. Do you like outdoor skating? Where you can go as far as you can possibly go, as fast as you please, all the while enjoying the outdoors? Try inlines. This doesn't mean you cant use inlines in a indoor rink and this doesn't mean you cant use quads outdoors, but it purely comes down to preference and style. Try both and see what you like more, its different for everybody and no matter what, you will fall and there is no way to circumvent that unless you dont try to skate at all. Happy skating!
Ah!! I immediately recognized where you’re skating! (Though I checked the comments first to see if you’d mentioned it bc I didn’t want to point out your location unnecessarily if it might be creepy, and luckily I saw you mentioned Manhattan Beach already). I was there just last month and it’s suuuch a lovely boardwalk. So many fun ppl walking, jogging, biking, skating, and tons of surfers, volleyball players, and dog walkers! This video makes me nostalgic and want to go back!
me and my friend use bubbles to control our speed and make turns if we need to, if you’re confident enough to go down to simple hill using bubbles\ lemon drops can help:]
I like to practice in my church parking lot there’s plenty of hills of varying sizes I can go up and down on and it’s smooth plus at youth group and friends and I roller skate/skateboard together
Good beginner posture for balance is what id call piggyback posture 😅 bent knees and leaning forward slightly so your weight isnt shifted back so your feet cant slide away from you 👌🏻
I have an old ankle injury that's been preventing me from starting, I'd love to know the difference between normal growing pain and serious should pay attention to this pain
I've been skating for 2 1/2 years I'm not a complete professional but these tips are real but my tip is point your toe down/out but keep your leg back dont put it out to the side
One time me and my friends went to A park and were rollerskating but my friends didn’t know how to all of them ended up falling down and getting hurt all of them were fine I was the only one that didn’t fall I am very good at rollerskating and ice-skating my friends were so jealous they just walked instead of skating we still laugh to that day😂
I went roller skating for my cousins 5th birthday and i had to go fast because if i went slow i would stop and couldn't move and then i would have to go on my knees and crawl to somewhere where i can pull myself back up😂
Thanks for the tip babe, but I feel strong that I'll be more into roller blading again instead of skating. I know it takes time but I'm getting very frustrated. I love these Converse skates from Skate Nation, but if I get back on rollerblades again and practice on rollerblades maybe I'll switch back to skating and practice on my skate Converse. I really want to learn how to escape but I think I'm better at rollerblading
this may seem obvious, but beginners should know how to appropriately wear gear. my first attempt at skating I lost my balance, fell and broke my wrist. It turns out, I didn't have the wrist guard on correctly. it was a hard lesson to learn.
Hi! I just bought my skates, and I love them so much. But I have severe drift when skating at the roller rink. I’ve never had this problem with rentals. Is it skill issues or something else? Please let me know, this problem is very discouraging and I can’t skate calmly and with peace of mind.
Pov: you try and be like everyone else even though youve only skated for 5 minutes so you go as fast as everyone else and basically force urself to learn quicker
last night i bought roller blades and the moment we got home i used it for about 4 hours😂and then the next day the moment i woke up i instantly wore my roller blades😂😂😂
I had went first time skating with a friend this weekend, and I did give up, I felt embarrassed of the amount of tines I feel and people crowding to see if I was ok And after the first 2-3 hours I took them off From my experience definitely wear bandages on your big toes, you get blisters I will pick up my own skates and try again
How do you go safely down a hill?
Checkout my full length video on how to go downhill!! So much info for safety and beginners 🫶🤙 lmk if it helps! 😄
This is the safest way to get down a hill with skates on! 😳💛🐛
@@PollySkates btw love ur vids u should recommend pretending there are no rails
you dont, full send it lol
@@PollySkatesthank you for helping 😊
I recommend beginners wear wrist guards. When (not if) you fall, you won’t break your wrist.
Oh I like the recommendation! 🫶🙏🤙
Yeah and elbow and knee protectors also if u feel very uncomfortable wear a helmet

I agree, I feel like wrist and knee pads are the minimum, especially for beginners
That don't give up and don't have a bad attitude part is funny but true.
Good video.
Ty! ☺️🫶
I fell and had a bad attitude for over a year. Getting back into it now. Lmao
same lmao
I'm starting again from start after 5yrs with new roller skates
I almost broke my tailbone practicing but now i can go around my whole town in my roller blades😊
Oh jeez the throw on those skates. I feel that in my heart. Take care of your skates!
🙉
I just bought My first pair & I really needed The last tip cause I had My first fall
Thank you so much ❤️
❤️
You do a loop dee loop and pull, and your skates all lookin cool!
I love how you’re telling people not to give up 😢❤
☺️🙏🤙
What do you do if you’re roller skating in a rocky area?
I'm sorry to break it to you but it's simply not possible.
@@god11751 even on inline it’s not a good idea, you can do it putting the weight on the heels but then that bearing cleaning is gonna make you hate rocky surfaces

omg rocky areas outside are all I have 😭 😭
Stay positive and keep practicing, you'll improve in no time!
❣️
I recommend this vid to all beginner skaters
🥹🫶🙏
That’s a fact! When you fall use that frustration get yourself back up and keep going!
Knowing how heavy some roller skates are, that shot of the girl throwing the skates scared me 😂
😅
that just about everything that i did when i first started but i'm a lot better now, i went down my first small ramp 1-2 or more years ago and i went on from there, i went down bigger ramps until i went down the biggest one yet which is pretty big, i'm still working on going down a bigger one, i've only been skating for 1-2 maybe 3 years so i'm not the best but i'm a lot better then before
Can you please guide me stop my rollerblades at high speeds or taking sharp turns at high speeds😊
Here me out here.
If you fall 100% yeall at your skates and mumble under your breath when you get back up. It really builds determination.
"I said we're SKATING you're SKATES we're GOING THIS WAY"
"tired of being on the floor in going this way I said I'm skating 😤" we all have the moments and getting them out feels soon much better
Thank you for teaching the people you’re so helpful😊😊😊😊😊🎉
🥹🫶🙏🤙🥰
Also wear protective gear when you’re learning like pads, wrist guards, and a helmet
💯💯
Broke my arm while skating the other day. Not giving up tho, just gonna practice falls when I get better and start learning again 💪
Can you tell me how you broke your arm so i can avoid doing it

Plz pin so ppl know not to do this

I gotta say, Pollyskates always reminds me of Janis Joplin, I bet Polly sings too. so pleasant and informative love her!
Aw ty 🥹🩵🙏
The skates at the end look the exact same as mine
Thanks! I’m going to buy roller skates soon bc I wanna try smth new :D
Love this!!! 🤗💗🤙
That's what I said to my friend. If you fall, get back up and keep trying ❤❤

Such a fun one
Yesterday I kept falling skating but I learned in one day but I still need to practice
I suck at skating but it’s so fun so I keep trying! My boyfriend rollerblades and he’s pretty good at it so it’s something fun we can do together. Wear your safety gear!!!
Can you please make a video?How to catch yourself?When you fall backwards please😊
lmao i went to a rollerskating rink today for a school trip and it was SO fun i taught myself everything and i taught myself how to skate
I've recently started learning with second hand skates and im slowly starting to get the hand of it :DD
🎉🎉
this video randomly started playing on my 90s music playlist 😅 cool video tho !
😂 amazing

What is more easy to learn roller skates or roller blades

I work on the strand and never thought of skating here lol maybe ill use it to do the 15 minute walk to my car 😅
Yessss!!!
The best feeling in the world.

Tanks And i driving your tutorial jo a sem čeh
Ch
I've been skating for 2 1/2 years I'm not a complete professional but these tips are real but my tip is point your toe down/out but keep your leg back dont put it out to the side
The last time i tried skating i ended up having to leave because i fell in a way that made my nerves go goofy and my lungs almost collapse lol
One time me and my friends went to A park and were rollerskating but my friends didn’t know how to all of them ended up falling down and getting hurt all of them were fine I was the only one that didn’t fall I am very good at rollerskating and ice-skating my friends were so jealous they just walked instead of skating we still laugh to that day😂

I went roller skating for my cousins 5th birthday and i had to go fast because if i went slow i would stop and couldn't move and then i would have to go on my knees and crawl to somewhere where i can pull myself back up😂
I fell and broke my wrist in 3 places but here I am trying again ❤
💜💪🤙
This kinda makes me want to get into roller blading
Do ittttt
I already have gone pretty fast😂 I can’t help it though.😅
Thanks for the tip babe, but I feel strong that I'll be more into roller blading again instead of skating. I know it takes time but I'm getting very frustrated.

Ouch! Wrist guards are actually kinda confusing sometimes!! Thanks for the video idea!! This is a really good lesson!! 🫶🤙🙏💯
A tip is dont fall backwards. If you fall forward then you have more chance of ending up on your kneese and not your back
I fall almost every time I skate. I really enjoy it though, the skating.
Keep practicing! 🤙🫶
Hi! I just bought my skates, and I love them so much. But I have severe drift when skating at the roller rink. I’ve never had this problem with rentals. Is it skill issues or something else? Please let me know, this problem is very discouraging and I can’t skate calmly and with peace of mind.
I use the toe stop to push bc it’s easier….
I’m learning my first trick it’s like lean down and put one of your legs up backwards 😂 lol
Oh sounds cool!
@@PollySkates ty I have a question I also do ice skating do u think my ice skating is similar enough to help my roller skating ?
I can’t keep going a day that I broke my wrist with them tho
Luckily, I did keep going a couple months later and I’m getting really good
My parents always lied to me when roller skating, they always told me to glue my skates to the ground, thankfully i went into rollerblades
😄
thanks so much!!!
How do I stop? I find it really hard and I have to slam against a wall just to break my momentum ahaha.a…
Pov: you try and be like everyone else even though youve only skated for 5 minutes so you go as fast as everyone else and basically force urself to learn quicker
How do you stop with those states?
I have lots of videos on how to stop! I can make more tho 🫶🙏
last night i bought roller blades and the moment we got home i used it for about 4 hours😂and then the next day the moment i woke up i instantly wore my roller blades😂😂😂
🥹 I love this
unrelated but does anyone know what's the music playing in the background?
I took you advice and when I tried again I broke my hand/wrist 😂
Is it normal to your foot sole to hurt A HELL OF A LOT after practicing? I'he heard this is just in the beginning
I did it fast and I never failed
🎉🙌❣️
1 year, 3 pairs of skates, 83 falls and 41 injuries. All worth it it have fun.
41 injuries!!?! 🙉
I want some skates as a graduation present.
Oooh that would make a great graduation present!
I had went first time skating with a friend this weekend, and I did give up,
I felt embarrassed of the amount of tines I feel and people crowding to see if I was ok
And after the first 2-3 hours I took them off
From my experience definitely wear bandages on your big toes, you get blisters
I will pick up my own skates and try again
Glad to hear your gonna try again! ❤️🩹
❤❤❤❤❤❤
💚💚💚💚
I want rollerskates but i have some already but their to small so if i get another pair i wont have to start slowly but tysm for making this content
🫶
Old bend at the waist more 😊
Where are the best places to roller skate?
What roller skates does the first girl have? (the girl with the black shorts and the long socks with the black skates)
Custom vans
Wear elbow pads for beginners lol, I messed mine up my first day haha. But better now
Happy to hear your better!
Nice looking tube socks friend
Am i the only one who saw the spongebob socks? 😂
👀
I rolled down a hill but with rollerblades 😂 and I was bleeding but I'm okay
😮
Do your prefer inline or qauds?
Inline 🤭
How about ice skating????
Wich one is more balanced
Different balance! Quads have a wider base and are easier for some tricks. Blades are easier for others because there is a longer frame length 🫶🤙🙏💫
One question witch is better roller blades or roller skates ?❤
Rollerblades 🤭
May i ask the type of wheels u use?
The stock moxi lolly outdoor wheels. I love them 🤗
Where are the shoe skates from?
She made them
😂brilliant video
🫶🤙🙏
she really just said dont's and do's😂
🤭
Can we practice inside our house?
Yes! As long as your house has the space!!
Is that the South Bay?
I don’t think so!
Wtf a horse bike😅😅😅
It was incredible! Had to stop him to ask if he could be our vid 😄

Cracked my head once 👁️👄👁️😭😭😭
