      I am 54, been skating since I was 8, Inline when they came out in 1987, so I can’t imagine just doing it for the 1st time at 69! Wow! I recently started wearing the Powerslide padded shorts, they are very low profile, don’t restrict movement , can breathe, and will protect my bum & thighs when I fall. I am skating more aggressively in my turns on mixed terrain, learning to jump, wanting to learn transitions so bad! I wish you were in Orange County, CA Asha, I really need hands on help with that! Will you ever come to OC or San Diego?

      @@HeadNtheClouds I'm afraid I have no USA plans for the next few years. But why don't you let me teach you online. The info I give in my real classes is exactly the same technical information that's in my video courses. I made them especially for people like you who want to learn but don't have access to professional instruction. I even teach you in the course how to video yourself so you can see the common problems (which are also identified and how to fix them). You can try each course for free to see how you like it.
      The Transitions I teach in the Intermediate How to Skate course so check out the Free class there. You'll be amazed how many students I have around the world who are learning all these skills successfully via video.
      inlineskatecourse.com/how-to-skate-intermediate/
      However I do also offer "online Video Coaching" if you'd rather have me analyse your practice videos and give you personalised feedback. But I would start with the online course first as its the much cheaper way to get all the technical info you need. et me know how you get on.

I regularly get stopped for a chat and loads of people have told me that seeing me out and about on the streets skating has encouraged them to do more exercise. It puts a smile on people's faces and I'm forever getting waved at. One parent told me that I am a hero to his young daughter who is now skating, she is about 5 years old. Skating is infectious. And Asha plays a big part in this, I learnt to skate mostly from her videos. Thanks Asha. All the best from Norwich.

    Thank you Edwina, I'm 25 and I've been skating since I was very young. Racing, tricks, traveling, it's all enjoyable. You give me hope that I'll still be doing what I love even when I'm older. 🤙 💜

    Thanks for this beautiful video. Everything is so true. I fell in love with skating when inline skates got out of the grave in the 1990's. 19yo, then, 52 now, and skating remains the only way I can truly find FREEDOM in our urban environment.

    I loved your video! I am so proud of you. You are so awesome!!! Never stop skating!!! I have several friends who skated well into their late 80's. Skating is the fountain of youth. I am 51, and I still skate every week, and I still race against teenagers (and beat them!! (Except for my 16 Yr. Old son, he's a bullet!!)) I have all 3 of my sons skating now, and I couldn't be happier about that! I wish we could come and skate with you. We would have a great time. MASA!!! (Make America Skate Again)

    @CreekCat1 Před rokem +1

    Less than 2 months before I turned 64, I started skating after not skating for close to 50 years. That was six months ago. I roll nearly everyday. I'm on quads but want to try rollerblades, too. I have a pin in my left ankle and severe arthritis from a triple fracture when I was 20; plates in both feet from bunionectomy; and a curved spine. Watch me move, dance and skate and you would never know any of that. Never tell me I can't because I will. Skate smart, but skate! I loved seeing this video of Edwina Ellis skating. Inspirational.

    • @SkatefreshVideos
      @SkatefreshVideos  Před rokem

      Fabulous, well done YOU! Sounds like I should be making a video about you too! Well done for keeping active and doing the things that you love. It is sooo important.
      When you transition to inlines, consider using my online course so that you don't get the common Quaddie to inline problems like inside edge pronation and rubbing top of ankle cuffs. You can try it out for free on this page by clicking free trial. It should help you understand the differences between the two and what you need to do to skate well on inlines. Even with the additional ankle support of inlines you want to make sure you are getting the support in the right place (at the front) and not at the sides. Quads are always flat so there's none of this to contend with and that's why quarries often suffer with pronation and the ankle issues that creates. You particularly don't want to have additional ankle strain happening.
      skatefresh.com/product/how-to-skate-beginner-level-full-course/
      Let me know how the transition goes when you get inlines.

    I skated for a couple years back in the 1980s, I loved it because it felt so much like downhill skiing. I was a ski instructor back then and the skills learned in one discipline easily moved to the other. Marriage, a new house, and work ended my skating and skiing days. A month ago, I bought a new pair of skates and am loving to be back in my mid-60s. I want to skate with Edwina when I grow up!

      That's awesome. Keep it up. If you need any proper help, check out the free classes in the description box of any of my videos as they are thorough and go into proper details which I often skip on CZcams. Edwina says she would never have got so far without "proper" instruction. Hope they help, you can take as many as you like and have lifetime access. Or have a look on Skatefresh.com. Enjoy.

  • @HarmonicaMustang
    @HarmonicaMustang Před 4 lety +1

    Yup. I've started skating a few years back as part of my job as a roller steward at a roller disco (basically checking the floor is clear, managing traffic, checking on people who fell over, teaching basic skills like standing up in skates etc.). I've always been the fat slow kid in PE/Gym class, but now I'm the fastest skater on the floor and 5 years on I still feel like I'm making up for all the years of being slow.
    Skating is fun in general, but skating outside is something else. You get such a sense of freedom when you get from point A to B and not just skate in a circle. The roads in my village are less than ideal for skates, but it's still fun. I applaud her dedication and passion for the sport.
