Figure Skaters Try To Keep Up With Roller Skaters | SELF

- čas přidán 14. 02. 2023
- For this edition of Try To Keep Up we challenged a group of accomplished figure skaters to swap their blades for wheels and try some roller skating moves for the first time. Will our newbies be able to keep up on a different set of skates or will the differences leave them sitting on their behinds?

When she did the moonwalk, I LOST IT 😂❤ That’s very hard, she was definitely feeling herself. Love that
I know right lol
She’s probably gunna keep doing both. She seemed like she enjoyed everything!
@@repentandbelieveinJesusChrist8as a Christian please stop this. I see your comments all the time. Most Christians are so vile, mean and rude. The best way to convert others through how you behave. Shalom
That wasn’t in the script! 😂😂
She did the moon walk then the moon landing
I love watching these athletes respecting and celebrating each other. Such a great series ❤
Your comment is so corny
@@kimmyymmik Yours is for sure
I do love watching these too but for different reasons
@@kimmyymmik how
The sad thing about this is the fact that roller skating is still not seen as an olympic sport even though it uses a lot of the same complicated moves as ice skating and takes just as much skill and discipline. This should have changed long ago.
I wonder why…
It’s not an international sport and there’s no special aspects/levels
In a way I think that’s what makes it so fun because it’s not so serious and you can do it almost everywhere
Well rollerskates are not that serious its like chill and fun but for ice skates has more challenging like high jump, spin and stuff
@@CottageGurlyou can do all of these on skates lmfao.
It’s great to see such a healthy relationship with healing/rest modeled by the roller skater who had an injury. So so so important to listen to your body, that has to be the priority and it is awesome to see that prioritized here
I have sprained my ankle twice now. It takes so looong to heal properly. So important to stay off the leg.
Right?! And the fact that they included him in the intro rather than just cutting him out was really nice...
As you say, it is SO important to listen to what your body needs/is telling you!
Yes!! For real
It sucks to get injured but I love how they let us know he was OK and kept him included in everything
Figure skating is painfully obsessed with perfectionism and this looks so freaking fun!
Yes it’s so cool seeing the different types of muscle control and different experiences of fluidity vs rhythm!
I've always been terrified of rollerskating but it looks so fun.
@@mary-janereallynotsarah684 Very fun! Some quality protective gear goes a long way to help with confidence in the beginning. Then it's just a matter of daily practice and you'd be rolling in no time. I picked skating back up last summer after not having skated since I was 13 and now working out is something I actually look forward to.
@@BlueHazyDreams me: shows up rolled in a mattress.
It's so nice to rollerskate without the whole obsession with perfectionism that comes with ice skaters. I get that it's part of the competitive scene but idk why it needs to extend to the non competitive community as much as it does
it was really sweet to see the ice skaters start to feel themselves in their routine near the end!! so happy to see this!

Ya especially Ale I love her grooving
It really is such a shame that artistic roller figure has never gotten the respect that ice figure has always received. Roller figure is actually officially an Olympic recognized sport, but it hasn't been included as part of the Olympic Games. A lot of people may not remember this but Olympic figure skating gold medalist Tara Lipinski got her start as a roller figure skater, and won the US championship for her age group at age 9, in 1991, before going on to Olympic gold in 1998 in Nagano, Japan.
Exactly! They talk about Flips and Waltz Jumps as if they didn’t exist in quads. It’s just painful
I figure skate on ice, and I remember this one time I went roller skating with my friends. I was so confident thinking it was just gonna be like ice skating TT The moment I stood up with the skates on I thought “wait why do they stick to the ground so much” and couldn’t do much at all 😂😂😭
Aww
Lol what a humbling yet fun experience. I hope you went roller skating again and kill it
😂😂😂
I'm a roller skater and the first time I tried ice skating I tried to push to the side and my skates just went, when the wheels would have stuck more haha
I slipped so hard 😂
I felt this when I went ice skating . The skates felt locked and I could even move forward untill the lady told me " if you walk like a penguin you will learn how to push off . I'm like 🤔 " with roler skates you just rock side to side and you moving lmbo
Ali’s energy is so fun and positive. That little hip bump was adorable, I love her😭❤ 11:19
She was awesome!
@@mary-janereallynotsarah684 so agree
I love your name 😏🤪
Ya, but it's Ale.
she was practically doing that downtown in double time too, pretty impressive stuff
Honorable mention: *the shiny bell bottoms* ✨🤔
I have been skating for over 2 years, and no one has explained the c-step or pendulum swing like this! It made so much more sense for me too! Lol Recently started following Andre and I love the way he teaches!
I can’t find his CZcams. What’s his channel?
I like how she dressed up looking a little 70s! It's cute!
I started skating at age 6, 48 years ago. As a teen in the 80's the skating rink was THE place to be. Skating was just a way of life. I had my Riedell Speed Skates decked out. I was at the rink every Friday and Saturday night. They were some of the best times of my life. The last time I skated was about 9 years ago. This has definitely inspired me to get back in my skates. Ummm...I did try ice skating and ended falling all over the place...it's definitely two different styles of skating. I never got the hang of ice skating and it was cold, wet and the ice actually hurt my hands..I ended up in the gift shop buying gloves..lol....This video is so much fun !!!!
As a person with child-level lessons in dancing and skating, this pair of videos has shown me that A: I rollerskate like an ice skater and B: the differences between Roller and Ice Skating reminds me a great deal of the differences between Tap and Ballet. All the long balanced extensions vs. keeping your center of balance under you and footwork... I'm not sure this makes sense outside of my head, but it's fascinating!
Its fun seeing professional instructors being professionally instructed
I have watched both sides of this and all of the skaters are so positive, patient, and great at coaching each other.
I felt like a proud Mom watching them just having fun at the end (': very impressive journey! Both teachers and pupils did fantastic ✨
Love this! If you ever wanna do something with rollerbladers that'd be super cool too. Maybe parkour artists and aggressive inliners? They interact with their environments in similar ways but using completely different tools
I'd watch that.
Rollerblading is so hard though it would be so impossible to see them do more than inch forward
I think a good challenge would be aggressive inline skating and skateboarding, I go to the skate park with my friends, they’re on skateboards and I’m on my aggressive inlines, I always wonder how they would feel on my skates and how I would do with their skateboards.
@@NoThankUBeQuietisn’t it much more like ice skating?
@@beyoncehadoneofthebest Yeah, rollerblades are very similar to ice skates unless you start grinding and stuff
I have a playlist for bookmarking videos that really make me smile to visit when I'm down or just looking for some inspiration and as soon as I saw this video start it went straight to the bookmark! Thank you to everyone for such an uplifting and supportive exchange while also including the injured skater Lionel for his comments and feedback throughout the series too! :)
I have a list like this too!! For some bizarre reason, my #1 is this dumb short video called “Aggressive mantis squad”, and I liked it to ppl so many times that my SIL now uses a still shot of the praying mantis’s moronic shocked face at the end as my contact pic I’m her phone! It will just never stop being funny.
That’s a great idea!
I’ve been quad skating about a year and a half and these women did AMAZING, which is to be expected when they’re all incredible on the ice already. The comment she made at 11:45 about not knowing where to place your weight and just needing practice for it to click is exactly right. I’ve been practicing turning over my left shoulder for literally months and the other day it suddenly clicked that I was stepping too wide, ergo my center of gravity wasn’t over my foot, and I couldn’t feel confident in my step because of it. The ice skater who said she felt limited by the quads made me laugh cuz in the wheels community, inlines are the more limiting of the two. She just needs some looser trucks and a soft top boot and she’ll absolutely LOVE the freedom of quads. Quad skating is the perfect marriage of my love of dance and my autonomy in life. I get to inspire people while loving myself unconditionally, and no other sport has made me feel such joy.
Marni was almost doing a waltz jump when she started the pendulum kick, I wish one of them had attempted it in the end! And/or a half toeloop or Lutz. They keep speaking as if artistic skating (the roller counterpart of figure skating) didn't exist
So true! As a roller figure skater I would have liked them to compare figure skating on roller skates and ice skates. As they did with surf and snowboard. Our sport is way to unknown...
@@honorinecumin6725well the purpose is to introduce them to a new style which is jam skating not artistic.
Thank you for telling me the correct name artistic skating for figure skating on roller skates. As someone who was an ice figure skater in my childhood, I was always impressed by the people who did the same thing on roller skates. People claimed that ice skating was more difficult than roller skating. I would like to make an objection. While it’s true it is easier to learn to roller skate when you’re new to skating, once you have learned how to balance on ice skates learning how to do the different moves, spins and jumps is easier as the blades of the ice skates are lighter than the wheels of the roller skates.
@@waggles4981 they didn't say jam (maybe once only), they usually said roller skating
@@luablau they said it in the beginning. The young lady said their style is jam skating.
Haha the blonde girl “while these 2 lose confidence I think I’ll be fine” wow you’re cool 💀
I didn’t like that white girl. She’s a hater 😂 I was watching her when the Latina was doing her freestyle moves & that gringa was petty 😂
😂 She was so cocky and then was the only one to not do great at it! and then afterwards "uh it was really difficult and scary," got humbled quick
@@_jhynhand the look she was giving ale when she bowed was kind of upsetting like be happy for your peers :(
Anyone else noticing the blonde girls face when the last girl does her final performance 😂
She prolly realized she did the worst
But as a tall skater myself
It’s hard to find your center of balance
I thought I was crazy until I found our comment
Seemed they weren't enjoying each other the whole time, honestly
Lol yup wanted to offer her some bread for all that jelly 🤣 😜 she seemed a little bothered by the encouragement the others were getting 😅 I never saw that movie about mean girls but that is how I imagine them acting
I was looking for this comment lmao
100% agree with having to unlearn to relearn... I also agree how the one said you feel like your stuck on a board. And I also agree with the balance can be explained, but until I feel it to get it, it'll take a while... I've been back on roller skates for two years now, and I still can't get the spins down... I miss ice skating, but the water doesn't freeze here, and there aren't any ice rinks nearby. The closest thing they have is the crappy fake ice at the mall during the holidays, where they don't allow jumps or spins and charge $20.00. and the area is only 6x5... I'm 6'3"... Like fitting a cat into a hamster cage.
I got into rollerskating because I love ice skating, and I found I actually love rollerskating more. I feel like there’s more possibilities than ice skating… and it doesn’t hurt as much when you fall.
i find it to be opposite. i ice skate and roller blade, and I'm absolutely gonna have a worse time falling on concrete than ice. you dont slide on concrete without tearing skin or clothes.
@@raph1136 I can deal with scrapes, but Ice is harder than concrete and hurts more and is more dangerous when you fall. I skate on wood and vinyl, anyways, as I do artistic rollerskating so I don’t really get scrapes, just bruises. I don’t really get them much anymore because my skating and techniques are becoming more consistent. I don’t like skating on concrete. You should be wearing protective gear if you’re worried about injuries, anyways.
@@dirt6830 ice is not harder than concrete in any meaningful way, neither will flex when you fall on them. And yeah I wear wrist guards strictly when I inline skate, but even when I forget them for ice the falls never hurt
@@raph1136 I’m not talking about whether it is flexible or not lol. The hardness of ice varies but it can definitely get up there if not more than concrete. Ice hurts more because its hard and cold. The coldness definitely affects how much it hurts as well, I love the cold but I can’t stand that. I’ve torn skin on ice and concrete and I’ve had way worse bruisings when ice skating, with roller skating the injuries aren’t as bad with the exact same kind of falls. Look, I’m not going to diminish your experience, but I’m going based off mine so don’t try to make out my knowledge or experience is wrong, cos it’s not. It’s not a competition. We prefer different things. that’s all.
Really? I personally find ice skating safer and easier, but that's just me 😅
Been waiting for this one 👏 I’m surprised how fast they got the downtown. It normally takes people a while just to get the coordination right for even the basic step.
Not gonna lie. I was really hoping the figures skaters would try spinning on rollerskates.
Yes! I wish they had tried figure/artistic moves too!!!
It’s so nice to see how different the mechanics of skating on quads vs blades really is.
As a kid I used to figure skate. As an adult I’ve taken up quad skating. Even though I haven’t ice skated in years that muscle memory is still there causing me to struggle with the quads. You can lean back far on figure skates and often I forget you can’t to that on roller skates.
I loved everyone's energy! The figure skaters were so into it. I love the ones that they added their own styles during the freestyle.
Great instructors...The roller skaters made it much clearer to me to do those moves. The figures skaters picked up the moves well. Now I can improve my moves . Thanks guys 🙏🏾
I watched the video where the roller skaters tried to keep up with the ice skaters. I nearly passed this because I misread the title. I love this series!
Love this! I find the differences between ice and roller skating so interesting. I roller skate on and off, but I might try some figure skating lessons just for fun sometime 😊
I like when they just put their personalities in the final challenge and had so much fun with rollerskates 🎉
I like watching different athletes learn other disciplines. It's so fun!
All three ice skaters did wonderfully!
Two great sports, and this epitomizes the saying 'similar but different', even for people at the top of their game. 🙃
They’re all so adorable
Listen, as a rhythm skater, that pendulum kick is hard! I just got comfortable doing 3 turns for my artistic practice! The figure skaters are so cute! thank you for completing the series!
That was so sweet when he took her hand, bowed down and said, "I give you the power."
This was a really cool cultural collab. Definitely didn't persuade me on the ice skating after seeing that side, but I do wanna hit up my local skating rink now lol
So neat to watch the professionalism of the ice skaters, applying their skills, knowledge, and body awareness to learn something very different. And then turn it into fun!
Also impressed by the coaching by the roller skaters. You can tell that someone really knows what they are doing when they can explain it so clearly to someone else.
Roller skating absolutely is a communal sport. That and the freedom to groove and feel as you skate are main reasons why I love roller skating.
They were such great and patient teachers, and such flexible students!
Aww this was super cute and fun to watch. It really cool that they showed each other how to have fun and learn new tricks and how both roller skating and figure skating have some key differences but have something similar at the same time. It awesome that everyone is having fun in this video as well as thr other video where the figure skaters taught the roller skaters some tricks while skating on the ice. 💜🦋
It'd be great if SELF did updates on the people who were on Try to Keep Up series to see if 1. They still do the activity they tried 2. To see if trying the challenge activity changed how they look at the activity they already excelled at.
I feel like this would be cool because sometimes the people look like they really enjoy what they're trying and the video has comments asks if they'll continue.
🙏 Please SELF do a little video update on the previous people. It could be called 'I tried to keep up with...' series.
Loved this!!!!! it's always fun to move outside your comfort zone - learning other aspects of skating than what you usually do really help you grow!
Ale is so funny and upbeat! haha love it!
So much fun to watch! Smiling through the entire video 😄
why does blondie look so salty the entire final challenge? it's really obvious she was being shady af.
superiority complex got humbled and revealed that insecurity 😶
I am Justine!! Committing movement to memory with sound effects 😂😂 loved this!!
They did amazingly well. Loved this Collab. Great job to the teachers and the students!!!!
This was so fun!! I love this series 💛
Ali (the shortest one) is such a natural and I love her personality.
This is really awesome to watch! ❤️ Thank you for doing the reverse challenge! 😍
I was waiting for this one to come out and was not disappointed! They looked like they had such a good time
All skaters are amazing and have insane talent and skills, both videos are great fun, would love to see more of them.
Wow, you guys are all absolutely amazing!!! So cool to see the correlations between the two sports, and to have it really broken down to each step. She did a fantastic job, and the figure skaters all caught on immediately, very cool!!! Thank you guys so much for giving us a glimpse of the roller skating world, excellent job!!! You're all incredible athletes!!!!
These teachers are really good! What a fun video. It was nice to see everyone sharing their skills and being open to learning!
It was really fun to watch! They’re attitude is so healthy and positive.
I’d also love to see figure skaters (on ice) and artistic roller skaters teaching each other since they both do jumps, spins etc very similar but very different at the same time!
It might be a strange comparison, but the way they talk about roller skating reminded me of what it's like to tap dance. Everything with the balance and the weight shifts is there, and it's so cool to see it be smooth instead of staccato like tap.
This was really cool to watch. The ladies did awesome. As a skater & novice ice skater they did great. The instructors were fluid and flawless.
Great video so cool to see more figure skating related challenges!
I LOVE this series!!! It light up my day n my mood instantly and the figure skater is so cuteeee delightful to watch
This series is just so wholesome and always gets me wanting to get out and be active 💜💜
This was So fun to watch after having seen the prior viddie. It brought a Proper Real smile to my face and genuine joyful laughs🥰
This was so wholesome and fun! I'm just sitting here smiling like a goof! ✌🏽💗
Skater: “this is similar to how I do a flip jump”
Video: *shows a waltz jump*
Ouch, lol 😂
Yeah, right!? I needed to stop and think a lot to understand what did she mean 😂 The previous one almost did a waltz jump, but in this case she was talking about the turning entrance to the flip, before (and without) the actual jump
As a person who is starting to dig into roller skating skills, I've been looking forward to this one!
Been roller skating since I was a kid, so glad to see it in this series! Everyone did such a great job!
Figure skating exists in both ice and roller skating. There is a difference between ice skating and roller skating. In ice skating, balance occurs on one blade and on the edges of the blade. In roller skating balance occurs across four wheels. To spin on roller skates using both legs balancing occurs on the front 2 wheels of one skate and the back 2 wheels of the other skate.
The older ladies were amazing and learned so well. The young one was kind of a drag.
This was so fun and positive to watch. I really thoroughly enjoyed it 😊👏👏.
Love everything about this! I didn’t watch the ice skaters teach the roller skaters in its entirety, but I will look into it when time permits! Both were entertaining and fun to watch. Something of all ages could watch :).
this is my absolute favorite video, smiles throughout the whole thing 🥹🥹
Yay the part 2 finally came out!!
White girl was so pressed when the red leggings put the whole thing together 💀
You saw it, right?!!! Is all that cockiness that always brings them down.
she was straight FILTHY about it lmao that superiority complex crumbled hard
Lol so salty
Nah you're reading into it
This is dope af bc I’ve always wondered if it was a similar skill!! Love this
I feel like this even relates to hip hop vs contemporary dance, one is all about the bounce and keeping your all your movements close/ beneath yourself and the other is about having those "long movements" and very expressive
This was great it made me smile and want to go skating lol I loved both episodes 😊❤
The teachers are incredible. I understood everything they were saying. Great video. I love watching sports crossover like this.
I used to jam skate professionally... its crazy how skating style differs by area and figure skating is pretty much standardized... figure skating way closer to roller blading then roller skating
Awesome job Ladies! Great teaching as well. I really enjoyed watching!
Watching this hurts my knees!! They're all so good at what they do
That was fun to watch! Everyone did so good!
This is such a cool series!!
I love these series. Keep it up Self.
This was so fun to watch!! I’d like to see the roller skaters try some ice skating. So much of both is balance, core strength and movement.
Just found the video!!!
Super fun series! D and Andre are great teachers.
That rink looks soooo smooth and creamy I'm jealous
You're videos are really fun and inspiring!
I love both!!! Thank goodness for the really awesome trainer that was at this ice skating rink. He immediately took me off the rink had them sharpen my skates six times. It took them a while to do so. And then like magic. I was able to skate. That's all I needed. I couldn't believe how important it is to have sharp blades. Roller skating since I've been three. Oh my gosh was I a handful for my family. Always on the move literally. Oh I wore my purple skates everywhere. In the house outside didn't matter. So I had balance. I could spend I can run I can do all kinds of stuff on my skates. Putting on a pair of skates. Blades. I failed hard.
That man was my savior. He spent a solid hour with me. All on his own. So grateful for him..
I think these 2 sports were the most compatible of the whole series.
The instructors body with the sky blue shirt is 🔥🔥🤍
Great positivity ❤ hope Lionel recovers quickly!!!
Ice skating is easier than roller skating but Figure skating is harder than roller skating bc they're Perfectionist.
Really love these kinds of videos!! ❤
I am sooo in love with this video everyone is amazing!!
When you have a cute instructor so you look for any excuse to hold on to them... lol
I'm a roller figure skater and I loved watching this so much
They all did great ! very impressing and so cool !
Yall pick the right people for these challenges lol
This was a really fun video. I love street skating but jam skating looks so cool!
