      Wasn't impressed with this one,she claims you have to know bubbles first before you roll backwards and that'd not true because I can't do bubbles yet but I'm now goin backwards because of sideZwipe tutorial

      @@optimisticrealismx5829 everyone learns differently. Bubbles do make this method easier.

      @sandb1867 Před 3 měsíci

      3:50 The pain is due to using the wrong muscles (I had the same problrm). It's really about using your edges to make bubbles efficiently by leaning your feet either inwards and outwards. Make sure your trucks are loosened up and your cushions aren't too hard.

      @MrsDiamondd this made me realize I say it wrong lol! I pronounce it cumf-tur-bull

    • @KD-dr3gy
      @KD-dr3gy Před 3 lety +6

      I remember the first time I heard someone pronounce it as Rebel does. It was on TV. I am also from California (north) so it's interesting Rebel pronounces it like that. Anyway, after I heard it like that the first time I did some googling and this word tends to have some debate. Ultimately I learned it's regional/preferential, but a lot of people say kumfterbl because it flows better. The same reason most people don't say veh-jeh-tah-blz, it's usually vejtblz (vegetables).

      Day 21 here! It’s so crazy to see the progress when you skate at least 30 minutes every day. I went from falling like every time I go out to T stopping and kind of skating backwards( I also only know how to bubble backwards)!

    • @gulsukocak4507
      @gulsukocak4507 Před 4 lety +2

      Cody that’s so cool ! I really want to skate better. I am going to skate every day. Before getting my skates I was so anxious about “can ı skate or can I even stand in them? “ but I think I did some progress even in 2 days. I hope that we all skate better.

    I love your advice ladies! I just back on skates at 48 after 20 yrs and just realized I’m only doing half the work skating backwards after watching this 🙁 Bubbles on my left foot and not the right! I need to keep up my practicing 👍🏻💕🤗 Thank you Rebel!

  • @NoukSilver
    @NoukSilver Před 4 lety +51

    This is the best step-by-step tutorial I've seen so far. A lot of backwards skating videos are just 'do a backwards bubble and then move your hips and voila!'. The carving with one foot was really very helpful. Thanks, Rebel! I know it's your literal job, but you are a great teacher.

  • @pinkopia8420
    @pinkopia8420 Před 3 lety +2

    This makes me feel so much better. Most videos skip from backwards bubbles straight into "now you can backwards skate" - now I know to practice those one-legged bubbles first! I wondered why it was so hard to get the flow of two feet

  • @kathyhoward9223
    @kathyhoward9223 Před 2 lety

    I taught myself as a kid to skate backwards in a circle. Did the cross over with my feet. Leaning to skate forward really well before trying it backwards is how I learned. I remember when kids skated everyday outside and it just came naturally to us. I miss it so much as a kid.

    @restlessxxwild Před 3 lety +3

    this is the most informative backwards skating video i've seen on here so far! a lot of them started right off with bubbles. This didn't seem that difficult in theory since i'm comfortable skating forward/bubbling forward. But starting right off there has been so hard and confusing on my muscles. I can't wait to try all of these steps to work up to it! Thank you so much! Your channel has helped me get back into skating :)

  • @godisgoodprince7056
    @godisgoodprince7056 Před 3 lety

    I watched a lot of other people's videos about how to skate backwards, but your video was the one that clicked for me. Nicely ordered and detailed. Practicing those bubbles really helped, as well as knowing where to put my weight going through the maneuver. I have been making good progress. Thank you.

They lived on Mc Nabb off of Harco off of Woodruff....however there are like 50 blocks that look just like this lol I miss all 3 of them so much 😢 though I miss them this video brought back good memories of me roller skating there and I loved it bc my neighborhood in the SouthBay of LA had a ton of hills lol which were cool but it was fun to effortlessly skate without having to worry about hills cars etc . Awesome video ❤💯
