MORE ON THE EXERCISES IN THIS VIDEO
Exercise 1 - One skate, one shoe and play 0:37
This is the number one exercise to improve your skating. If you can master this you go from not just being a good skater but a great skater; the kind of skater that people will notice and say "that person knows what they are doing on skate."
Exercise 2 - One skate, one shoe, backwards 4:20
People often neglect backwards skating but it is so much fun. In fact, I would argue that our bodies are better built to skate backwards than forwards. Just like in the previous exercise this is the skill that will take you from beginner to beast.
Exercise 3 - Small wheel in the front 6:42
By removing or substituting the front will for a really small wheel we now are forced to skate on the back half of our foot. Being comfortable in this position is essential to becoming a competent city skater. Riding in this position is the fundamental position in city skating and if you can move freely in this position you can now enter the FLOW.
Exercise 4 - Predator slalom 8:47
Spend some time focusing your practice on slaloming in the predator position. This is great focused training to get your ready for the city.
Exercise 5 - One skate, one shoe and slalom 9:25
This exercise focuses on all our fundamentals balance, edging, rotation and weigh transfer in one exercise. A great exercise to help with muscle imbalances.
Exercise 6 - Lemon Cross 11:10
I use this exercise to focus on transferring from inside to outside edges. This move is a fundamental of slalom skating but its best application is creating more power in your stride.
Exercise 7 - Roller Squat 12:55
The roller squat is an essential body position for city skaters. Being able to get into this position will save you from a dramatic fall that would normally result in an injury.

I think I never commented on a video before, but need to do it now to thank you.
In my second day skating, after a horrible first day, I followed this: " One skate, one shoe and play" of the first exercise. Was making that for 2 hours and despite I saw some improvement, thought it was not that big (managed to do some meters in the exercise).
Today, in my third day I tried with two skates, a little bit of "scooter" training, and god, it was working like magic. I had way better stability, and in minutes I was able to "skate" for 1 hour straight, not perfect, but more than decent.
I'm 28 and never ever skated in my life, so that's a HUGE improvement of what I was expecting to do over the days. Thanks a whole lot for this, really.
Would like to know how you are doing now.. cause I have bought myself skates and protection gear and tomorrow will be my Firstsource day putting my skates on to fall for the first time.. so let us know your progress
Musta stopped skating
One skate, one shoe and play.....Two skates, two shoes and.... pray
🤣🤣🤣😂😂
😂😂😂
next step - three skates, one shoe?
LOL
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You're like the Bob Ross of skating. Really well explained. Great post!
Great and original description, this make me smile. (:
Such a great comment - a true reflection of the content
Been skating 28 years now... time to practice the basics again. ;-)
Dude, you just too good at teaching ... so damn chilled, luv it. Yep, me needs to be getting one of those t-shirts.
Thank you Pascal!

i realy did
thanks that actually helpful tip. I will practice this one. I mean, most of them.
Hey Shaun! Tried out your one foot exercises...pretty effective....it left my thighs sore for few days! Somehow it's more effective than skating on one foot with both skates on.
haha, weed
I started exercise #1 today. 😬 Not easy!
This video made a huge difference in my learning. I picked skates at 35 for the first time and a was bit nervous and my progress has been slow. But the one skate method has helped a lot. I wish I knew it sooner. Thanks Shaun!
Here is me at 32…starting now 🤠
As kids me and my neighbourhood started playing inline football with only one skate.....
Was a great exercise and pure fun to play.
Ahaha, that's a really creative way to play football!
ONE foot?!? Beyond brilliant... After seeing THIS, no other beginner vid even makes any sense . I had given up trying to skate- but this vid has me up early practicing almost every day. 🙏🙏 vm!
I was really good on inline skates as a teen. I haven't skated in almost twenty years and just bought skates again. I haven't fallen. But I definitely appreciate the tips for relearning.
Thanks for the video. Its great to see you wearing a lid and taking safety seriously. Theres so many "inline skating tips" videos, where they don't even wear a lid, its laughable really that people can have "tips" videos and not even considering protecting their head. Subscribed - Thanks for taking it seriously, Id be happy if my kids learnt off you
I'm a quad skater, but I think I can use most of these! Your 7 exercises make for a definitive practice/warm up session! Thank you for offering this lesson! Namaste.
It's so obvious that you have experience teaching, seeing as you give yourself positive feedback every step of the way :D
Love your videos, keep it up!
Hey thanks for those exercices, I'm gonna practice them
Also, I really want to thank you for all your videos, because they made me start roller skating x)
The pleasure is all mine. Happy skating my friend.
Same
Holy cow, this is great. I've already sent this to my friend who recently started learning and is still sorta struggling with his balance. Cheers! 👌👌👌
Thank you. These exercises are great for new skaters.
Really love the tips. Tysm!
You’re the first ever mate explained how exactly to stand your feet inside a skate, before it was so unclear in seen of balance. Thank you!
Your tips are making me to improve my skating a lot. I started last year in November and it's amazing how I've improve my technique and fluency. I still have so much to learn but at least I'm able to skate really well.
Greetings from Vigo, Spain 🤜🤛
Thanks for all the inspiration!
Thanks for those amazing tips!
Thank's for the lessons
Great stuff. Can't wait to try them out.
Really excellent set of tips - thank you
Thank you so much for the one skate practice idea, you've got my 3yr old skating for the first time by herself and loving it. Otherwise when we previously tried with 2 skates she was all over the place, fell instantly. Now she's gliding on one for a bit and getting the idea. I predict good progress - it's a breakthrough. 👍👌
Love your teaching style!! Thank you!
Thanks a million, Shaun!

Dude! I´ve watched quite a few tutorials online and yours are definitely the best. Been rollerblading for several years but a loooong time and picking it up again now and needed some guidance to improve and speed up the process. Your videos are so smooth. Others tend to do it too quickly and not properly explaining the balance etc. Keep up the good work!
Thank you Shaun and Alex for capturing and sharing these lessons. props to you both and be well!
Great exercises. Thanks!
Cool video, these are really good exercises, thanks man

Can I just say you’re an excellent teacher thank you💫❤️💫🌹🌹🌹
Hey Shaun greetings from TomZach and the Burgess Park skate community South London (yaayy..!!). Your patience and positive spirit really come through in your instruction videos. While often just thinking it I thought it is time to say/post/acknowledge it here on one of these forums. Most of us are seasoned skaters but there are always these little nuggets of wisdom that you throw out there and that are SO useful..!! Thanks for the good work, excellent tips and warm humanity..! Bless an' bliss..!
Thank you master
Having seen a lot of practicing excercises i can happily say these are the most basic and most profficent ones yet. Im really looking forward to putting a small wheel in the front of my skate!
Wow the best Inliner video ever seen. I like the idea with one shoe for beginers. It really makes sense.
The lemon glide is a nice move.Thanks
Thank you boss
I'm going to try them...thank u so much for showing me and u 're great teacher...greetings from CDMEXICO
Awesome! I ripped my knee yesterday but like always u know it better next time... when im fine im gonna go and improve my skating like u showed me now! have a nice ride and stay safe!

These exercises are going to help me for sure. I started skating when I was 8 years old but I have never skated loosely... I have just figured out why. Thank you so much for showing me!
You are a great teacher!
I love your lessons and have learn a lot from you big up
I have watched this video so many times now.. "Bravo me" always gets a giggle.
These are such good drills to practice. Thank you ShopTask 🙏
Dude thank you so much for you channel and all you help. I started skating again after 18 years and in july this year...i fell and broke 2 vortex! But I am recovered and started my practising again last friday! I am addicted to this sport and your videos help me so much improving! Best wishes from Germany!
What is a vortex?
@@poshislove maybe he's talking about Panzer
i appreciate your skating skill, enthusiasm, andadmirable devotion to teaching in a calm, modest delivery. be well
wish i could go skating with you and shaun!

Can’t wait to try these !!! That quarantine brought me here.
Thank you for opening my mind😁👍🏻
This is a very good balance eexercise for skating.. emphasizing the correct position of the blades
Thank you for this great instruction. As an intermediate skater and someone returning to the sport after many years, this is extremely valuable and supportive.
