Can these skills also be applied to quads? Is there any difference?
Nice toetoorial . 👍
Nice Gardening gloves buddy :-)
I started skating a month and l am learning way to fast
it took me a while but im starting to get it 😅
Excellent tutorial, only started skating last summer, I've wanted to learn to skate backwards so that I can impress the Grandkids (I'm 60), cant wait to get out again 🤙👍
Good luck grandpa
@@StudyabroadWithAbhilasha thx 🤙
Get elbow, knee and wrist guards.
They help a lot.
@@Bow-to-the-absurd already kitted out, thx 🤙
Woahh-!! I'm impressed-!
Currently 7am, I have not slept because I was just on my phone watching skating stuff all night.
we've all been there xD
@@rollforever_85 yes we have hahaha
@@rollforever_85 im there 2 atm... waiting for my Twister Edges to arrive and beeing hyped for the first drive :D
me: 1:31 pm and watching this insted of working. Smooth inline skating vid tuts + skating withdrawals = no work done for another 2 hours. .... aaaaand just subscribed....
But you already have Rollerskate?
You are the Bob Ross of inline skating🙌🏻
I thought this before, haha
“And now we’re gonna stride on the left side too, cause every stride needs a friend.”
"So now we are gonna come over here, and our foot is gonna follow our other foot! Like happy little friends"
When you break some bone remember…“There’s no mistakes, just happy little accidents”
@@mela3018 "That blood on the ground looks amazing and it adds color to the pavement, remember, there are no mistakes, just happy little accidents, and it makes art beautiful"
The “no skateboarding” sign on the wall. Lol
That's not skateboarding that's rollerblading ✋🏻
@@ekinerdem2088 exactly!
The rules need to be broken
@@ekinerdem2088 That's the point
Skateboarding is a crime.
Inline skating isn't.
Coming back to Shaun's tutorials after a year of practice and progress. Now better realising the level of skill and expertise this man has, it is truly magnificent how smoothly he is able to demonstrate every tiny step of the learning curve. People with this much skill and expertise usually forget the baby steps and skip to the shiny stuff and expect you to do the same which is frustrating and demotivating for the beginner. Shaun deserves a huge shoutout for his incredible ability to empathize and for keeping the "novice inside" still alive.
Absolutely perfect point. 100% agree with you
i literally have no questions after watching because he's already hit all the points
As someone who has been on ice skates since I was very young (playing hockey), and also has quite a bit of experience on inline skates, I find the basic skills, fundamentals, and edge control explained in this video to be very appropriate for it a beginner skater
Best tip for any beginner is to teach them to drop their weight in to their hips, rather than breathing air down into the lungs newbies draw air into the top of their lungs which pulls their weight up making them much more unstable.
@@mrpropergander6800 just now realizing my body does that breath thing, and how important that is. thanks
"As soon as I get a few butterflies..."
butterflies as I'm putting on my skates
😆 that’s me. I have those butterflies moments when I do my skating at night with my dog.
"butterflies" ? what? feel like shit lol
Lemons!!!
Sometimes I go a lil too far and it's that oops I went to far back while rocking my chair feeling and I get a not so mini heart attack
Amazing teaching. Very down to earth teacher. I like the: "uhh...getting better!"
Agreed
He's like a Father teaching his children.
Skate daddy
Shaun, Alex, I have been skating for over 10 years now and, believe it or not, this whole time I really wanted to but was always afraid to try to skate backwards. This summer I have finally mustered up some courage and decided to really try. I have searched youtube and came across this video. The explanation and the tips are exceptionally good! After a couple of weeks I was skating backwards :-) This is so much fun. Thank you, thank you, thank you. YOU'VE TAUGHT ME TO SKATE BACKWARDS. THANK YOU!!!
Sean & Alex thank you so much for doing these tutorials. Right now no one out there does them remotely as well as you!
This video is so helpful! I noticed a big improvement in my backward skating attempts after watching this
Phenomenal explanation my friends!! Thank you for this awesome tutorial.
This was exactly the level of instruction and explanation I was looking for as a complete beginner. Thanks so much for posting this!
Thank you! This video has helped me so much, been struggling to crack the backwards stride for a while and I finally got it
So happy, thank you
Watched quite a few clips on skating and yours is the one I find most beneficial. It's so detailed but not at all boring. Great instructor.
I have seen many backwards skating videos and I wasn’t able to do it until I saw this tutorial. The way you guide it step by step is amazing. Thank you so much 🙏🏻
Excellent explanation. So clear, so simple, useful and pragmatic. Thanks a lot.
You are changing my life .. this breakdown is amazing and I'm practicing
Omg! Thanks so much for that!
I’m trying to teach my son to skate backwards. And you’re saying just the right words to express what feels easy for me and hard for him. Thanks a lot!
Thank you Alex and Shaun. I am about 4 months from being a complete beginner and backward skating is what I have been working on for the last month. I'll be adding the C-carve exercise and will practice it backwards for a few days to ingrain the motion before attempting to powerslide for the first time. I am very excited to learn the powerslide and now feel ready for it.
I just want to reiterate my praise and thanks, you have broken things down wonderfully in this video and have shown a clear progression with something for everyone to practice.
Can tell you really put in your heart to teach. You analyze your own video and edited with add on comments just to ensure we get it right! 👏👏👏
It's so good to see that Safety is important in your videos!!! So crucial to wear a helmet, hard to recover from a head injury. Excellent tips and transition in explaining the steps.
Honestly! Thank u so much for your videos. They're absolutely fantastic and so easy to follow!
I've spent the last few hrs on here watching other tutorials and yours are by FAR the best!
I've just bought a pair of skates/blades for the first time in about 22yrs (I have skated at a rink a couple times since then) but have been wanting my own.
As i kid/teen, i could never quite master going backwards from a stopped position and this video is going to help a ton and now I'm even more excited to get my blades tomorrow!
Thank you so much 💓🇳🇿
This lesson is incredible. Thank you so much. I learned so much just by watching it over and over again and trying to remember your practice suggestions when I was out skating. But, today, I actually brought you with me while I was out on my skates and practiced all of the lessons in order after reviewing each one - it was incredible how rapidly I progressed in skill and confidence! Amazing! Thank you for breaking it down into itty bitty pieces in such an incredible way. Your pedagogy is phenomenal. You made this so learnable. And practicing all of the parts as you demonstrated increased my confidence and my physical and intellectual understanding. Wow! This was such an amazing learning experience. I am so grateful.
Hey Shaun, I started back rollerblading after 20 years and saw this video 1 year ago. I remember it and had problem finding it. I have to say that you are very inspirational and your attention to detail in this video is exceptional. I have revisited this video because I finally feel comfortable to start learning this skill. I just turned 65 and with the Pandemic and shut down, there is very little to do to stay in shape here in my city of Ottawa.
Thank you for this wonderful video. It has to be the most comprehensive tutorial for backward skating that I've seen. Appreciate the detail that you go into.
Namaste, thanks Alex & Shaun, I watched this vlog tens time and will keeping watching.
AWESOME Shaun and Alex. I learnt this from you guys about two years ago and I was naturally good looking over right shoulder so I only ever skated backwards looking over my left and levelled my left to be as good as right but I still naturally look over right when I have speed, Also your one footed backwards lesson in another tutorial is the best for backwards balance. Fantastic to see some more tutorials from you. Keep up the great work cause if you can make this 50 year young man as good as I am in two years you can and probably have taught so many people so again keep up the great work you do!!!
Just came home for rollerblading and I succeeded in learning backward skating. All thanks to your tutorial. You are a great teacher!
Great instructional lesson. As a guy who has coached AAA ice hockey for 20 years, I can fully appreciate how useful this instruction is. Excellent points, clearly explained and demonstrated!
this is so good. I kept this video open on my laptop and was doing many practices during past week. now it feels I am ready for last parts starting from approx 13min. Brilliant.
I'm at the A state of trying to skate backwards and this is so far the best video I could find to get further. Thank you!
This is super helpful. The first year of skating I basically just skated around town, no practicing of technique. This year, I'm really going to learn all the fundamentals. Texted myself this video. Thanks Shaun and Alex!
So glad to see you in tutrorials again! Namaste and keep up the good work!
That was one of the best tutorials I have ever seen. Can't wait to try it tomorrow. Greetings from Germany 🙏
Thank you so much! This got me skating backwards well enough, and now you've equipped me to get even better and more comfortable with practice!
The best backwards roller skating class ever. Shaun has a lot of teaching skills. Very , very good. Thanks
This is one of the beeeeest tutorials I've seen recently.Very helpful thank you both♡
Hi Shaun! Thanks for this video.
I like very much your method of teaching.
You are an inspiration.
Bye
Hey there, thankful greatings from Germany for that slow and down to earth tutorial.
Its way more basic than most and gives a feeling of really getting better from one baby step to the next.
Stay that way. Thanks
Hey ! I just started to learn how to skate, your overall teaching is helpful. Clam voice, right pace, explanation breakdown etc. Very helpful
great video. you're such a good teacher with all the patience in the world. great work shaun and alex. i'm gonna start doing all of these when i hit the netball courts next
Learned backward skating on my own, thanks to your video ... a superb detailed explanation.
Amazing video! Thanks for the help! I saved this and will be watching it several times.
Awesome explanation and step-by-step learning. I'm grateful that it is still online! 🙏😁
This is amazing! Thank you so much! I can't wait to get out and skate! Definitely wish I had a sweet surface like that to practice on.
This is one of the most comforting and useful tutorials.
Amazing tutorial, perfectly explained.🙏 When I think of backwards Flow skaters, you guys always come to mind, and Nicola, of course! His backwards flow is insane! 👌
You have a new fan. Thank you for a great video. I’m 31 and have just started skating again after 20+ years. Keen to master it this time.
Thanks guys for this great tutorial. Back skating has been a challenge for me.....after watching the video I feel confident I can do it 💪🏼👍🏼
Thank you very much Shon!!! This was my dark side of rollerblade. Now i know how to improve my backmove!! Namaste🙏
This was great, really helpful and well explained. Thank you for taking the time to share!
Thanks to you both! I did not need to see it in slow motion to grab what I had to do. Everything was well explained: what to do with the feet, hips and where to put the weight, step by step. When you start to skate, at almost 48 you don't feel at ease when you don't know the technique. Not like children: 'Mom just jump, you will feel how to do it!' Yheh, but mom doesn't want to fall so much awaiting the feeling to come...This video was what I needed for learning to skate backwards! Merci beaucoup!
Appreciate you taking the time to share this information 😊
Congratulations! Your videos are very important to me and my daughters! We are learning to skate together, and you are the key to our success! Thank you very much!
Thank you so much! I appreciate the work that goes into these tutorials I’ve watched alottttttt of them the way you explain things with cues really helps
Beautiful techniques, thankyou again for another fab tutorial and class demonstrations ❤
Thank you! It's a perfect guide video for backwards skating. Now I have a little confidence for practicing.
first of all, brilliant, broken down extremely well and I feel like i could implement all these things and eventually develop my own style once the fundamental things are in place! so thank you for that, secondly the case study of your camera guy was an amazing bit of footage, the sense of speed whilst making it look so effortless was incredible! and third and final thing, your beard is awesome! have a nice day
Thanks for the mention Shaun! Loved the video, really well done! 👏👏👏
I wanted to include some of your skating in the video. Just really sell everyone on going backwards.
Thank you for very useful step-by-step exercises. Awesome tutorial!
Best backward tutorial in whole CZcams!!!
Unwin is king! Bro you are the best teacher! Namaste!
Thanks You for the tutorial. I really wish more tutorials like this.
excellent - haven't skated in over 20 years and i never really nailed the fundamentals. videos like this help massively
I love this! Its broken down barney style that anyone can understand! Thank you! 😊
Thank you for this careful progression. I am a beginner skater and needed this gradual instruction. Cant wait to practice this.
I like how you break things down. Looking forward to doing these drills. Cheers!
Very clear and informative in-depth guide!
This guide is GREAT. I went from barely being able to go backwards to being able to do backwards crossovers in just FIVE days! That is insane. I do gotta say, that I found that it was better if I didn’t follow this tutorial step by step and did what I felt was right for me. If anyone is having difficulty following this guide, I suggest you try that out!
Just came home from rollerblading and I succeeded in learning this skill. All thanks to your tutorial! You are cool. I even learned to look back two sides
I've been skating for years, playing hockey etc. but it's nice to see how you teach it. it helps with understanding the fundamentals and is even more so helpful for teaching my girlfiriend who just got some skates and is trying to learn.
so far THE BEST tutorial on youtube!!!!! Good job and thanks a lot!
I’m in love with your skate space
Great video. One is never too old to improve one's technique. Thank you.
Thank you so much. You are amazing. I am in love with your teaching. You cannot imaging how grateful your class is. Again. Thanks.
Thx for an awesome tutorial really appreciate it ….I skated when I was young and now 30 plus years later picked it up again and your lessons are awesome and really a great help.
Really awesome fundamentals tutorial, thanks so much for this
Breathtaking demonstration I really enjoyed how this was broken down then pieced back together so gradually. Thanks v much!
Your video has been real helpful to the fullest ,Thank you for making it bro Really thank you guys
Hey, great guide! Super nice explaination with lots of details. Thanks a lot, gonna start practicing this exercises.
Comecei a andar de patins ontem e seus vídeos estão me ajudando muito. Thank you so much!
My dear friends, your tutorial is just what anyone needs to learn to skate backwards. Thanks for sharing.
I'm starting to learn to skate backwards. This is very helpful since I've missed learning some of the basic basics. Thanks guys!
I love it!! Thank you, great tutorial!
You explaned this so well. Im just learning inline skating with my daughter and this video made my day. We will practice now. Greetings from Germany.
This tutorial is perfection…!!! ❤️
Great video!!! I just got some FR3's and am ready to blade. I appreciate you.
Just tonight I was at a skatepark and for the first time EVER stumbled onto skating backwards after coming off a slowing roll from the wall or halfpipe. I could roll backwards pretty well in the halfpipe but never from a standstill and as you know, rolling backwards is not the same as skating backwards. Been trying for months. Had I come across this video I could have started months ago though! Such great instructionals here. This will be my new go to video for getting into that backwards flow.
I liked this video. This really helps me to focus on the essentials. Thanks.
awesome video guys, super great teaching here.
Awsome guide, cant wait to try structured approach to backflow. I was stuck not being confident with scissor stance after 15 years not skating, really hope this will help.
You're great at explaining, thanks for all the videos.
Fantastic tutorial! Thank you!
Perfect explained. Awesome video, great stuff.
probably the best video i've seen learning how to inlineskate backwards. thank you so much! it's for me and my 6 year old son.
Best inline instructional videos I've seen on CZcams! Thank you!
Thank you! Appreciate the nice words.
Oh, you're sooo positive! I wish all the teachers did that amazing "Wooo!" that inspires us, the students :)
