Thats a great workout commute you have. I bought a pair of K2's in late 90s never used them and did cycling for cardio for 17 years. Huge mistake. There are male functioning penalties for sitting on a bike seat. Also rollerblading better for preserving your knees than jogging - which I did plenty before knee injuries due to impact overuse forced me to quit. Keep up the good daily low impact workout! Im sure inline skating will make a comeback (once these risks I mentioned in cycling and jogging become more common knowledge).
I don't move my arms when I skate, but I realized I'm gonna HAVE to move my arms when I do the powerstop, because it's not working otherwise I've tried for hours.
That's a good point. It definitely becomes much easier to execute when using the arms. It is doable without using them, though. Once you get really comfortable with doing a powerstop or powerslide, it'd be a fun challenge to try doing it without the arms. It would be a show mastery of the use of your hips and torso throughout the movement.
I'm able to do it in inline without using my arms, but in speed skates I can't seem to do it without my arms. I'm gonna try it out today and see how it goes.
@@awxkenedplayz5212 Oh speed skates with like 5+ wheels? Those are much larger frames so yeah might have to use arms for those. I was assuming 3-4 wheels on regular recreational skates
I use 4 100 mm wheels with no ankle support. Those type of speed skates. I got a blister from doing it so much I'm gonna have to wait a little to do it more. :( Using your arms seem like the better option for these skates since helps turn easier and keep the balance.
Listen I've been watching videos on how to power slide, and stop. This video is the only one that has actually helped me how to power stop and slide. Awesome video, thank you so much!!!
Does anyone have a video of women doing these things? Our center of gravity is in our hips not our shoulders so I'm wondering what the variation would be
this is literally the best tut for the power slide ive watched. i didnt know a soul slide was thing , now i cant wait till tomorrow morning to practice
The only recommendation I'd make is to have one that has a top and bottom splint. I used some old K2's for the longest time until the velcro wore down beyond usability. I'm using Ennui ST now. Finding something comfortable is the most important because if it isn't, you won't wear it. If you want more guidance you can look at what people use in similar sports like inline skating, roller derby, skateboarding, etc. Roller derby is probably a good resource because it's a contact sport and they really need to protect their wrist from falls.
Dude! Thank you so much for this tutorial! It is very useful, and teaches a lot of nuance, which is way more useful than just the power stop. Every stage of this is very useful in itself. Your teaching is incredible. And you just earned my subscribe. 👍
I come back to this video all the time because it grows with you so well. I understand more that's stated and it gives me more confidence on my execution. I'm really close now 👌
Are you planning to make any more tutorial videos? This majorly improved my skating and I really love how you teach especially your explanations from a kinesiology view. Thank you so much and I’d love to see more!
The best way to learn for me was using a less grippy surface like tiles or at the skate park. Makes it much easier to initiate the slide and build the muscle memory how it has to feel when sliding.
towards the end of the video (13:min40 seconds )you perform so many amazing transitions/moves. Your flow is crazy. If i wanted to learn to skate with this flow what advice would you give. What should i be working on?
I would suggest picking up on slalom skills. Look up videos for tutorials on freestyle slalom tricks to start. A lot of competitors post on instagram, where you can see how all of these individual tricks are strung together to make combinations. Once you learn two, practice alternating back and forth between the two, then learn a 3rd, etc
Thank you for taking the time to respond, it is appreciated. I have looked online and found great tutorials from different skaters teaching how to do the moves you are doing ( grapevine, compass pivot e.g ) . I have to say with respect to all skaters your flow is unique. It's like water !!! Your upper body barley moves . Incredible
My bf has got me into skating but he’s a shit teacher because he’s been staking since he could walk which means he doesn’t really know the progression at all. Every time he’s tried to teach me advance tricks it’s just been super scary and difficult. Def gonna try and the steps in this video and try and surprise him with new found skills :)
The sliding foot can actually start anywhere, but having the sliding foot begin from behind will allow you to swing the leg forward. It works well with the way the feet are positioned when turning left or right
I'm having so much trouble getting my skate to slide without picking up my non-sliding foot. I feel like I am shoving my heel into the ground but that foot just starts to roll and I end up using my muscles to push against it and I come to a stop.
I'm not sure I quite understand. Which foot starts to roll? If your sliding foot is rolling, take note of the angle between your direction and the wheels of the sliding foot. Your wheels should be perpendicular to your direction and if it's not, the wheels will likely roll forward or back. Let me know if that helps or makes sense otherwise I need more information to understand the situation.
@@motorlearningaddiction6284 it absolutely makes sense when you say it and when I watch the video, but when I try it I have trouble getting my skate to lose traction. I feel like I'm putting too much pressure on the sliding foot for it not to slide so I must be doing something wrong somewhere else. I'm sorry I also forgot to add I am trying to soul slide! That makes a huge difference in your advice! Sorry!!! Update: I actually just skipped the soul slide step and executed a few sloppy power slides but I can do it!!! I still can't wrap my head around the soul slide 😭
@@omanitztristen Yay I'm glad you got it down! For the soul slide, it sounds like you might not be getting low enough. If the angle is too high the wheels will just roll or you'll trip over. If you're interested, try again but squat down lower even before you stick your leg out to slide. Additionally, if you go fast enough to get the slide going, you can keep most of your weight on the non-sliding foot.
@@motorlearningaddiction6284 okay I will. Thank you for the tip. I think I just need more leg strength, I'm having trouble staying on one leg with my sliding foot in the soul slide position
Thanks Felipe! I've intended to create more videos but my camera broke 2 years ago and it was too expensive to replace. I don't have any other use for a 360 camera other than to film skating videos; and since I don't make these videos for profit, it's difficult for me to put up the cash to purchase a replacement. For now, I'm happy knowing that I was able to produce a product that was able to reach as many people as it has so far! The goal for this video was none other than to share a story and a reflection.
@@motorlearningaddiction6284 I totally get it. However, your content is awesome and unique. I think you should be more active within your socials. Thanks for sharing that story and for your powerslide tutorial. :)
Thanks for watching! Night skating in SF is a very different world. During the day time, everyone has places to go. At night, everyone is just chillin - especially on a Friday
Thanks! Definitely did not need the mask, but it was a different time and I was being deliberately over cautious to avoid getting sick. And I didn't so I have no regrets :)
Technically no, but it depends how much you want to slide. For the power stop because you actually come to a stop at an exact location on the ground, I'd suggest softer wheels over harder ones because they'll give you more control and feel for that definite stopping location. 85A is perfectly fine though. Harder than 85A wheels you'll have to really put some force into the ground to initiate the slide. Nothing wrong with that if that is what you like though.
This is so clear, I've been doing it wrong all this time, my inner foot is always behind instead of front. I will try this and hopefully I will finally be able to do carve and soul slides properly. This will make my powerslide smooth for sure. Thanks man!
This is the best beginners' skate tutorial I've seen. I already know the basics, T stops, and can do crossovers and skate backwards decently but those balance exercises and the single skate practice looks super helpful 😎
This is going to be THE video I watch repetitively as I practice learning this over my next few skate sessions. Can't wait to do all these steps progressively instead of just trying to JuSt sEnD iT lol ❤ Btw, it's a damn shame you haven't uploaded since this video because you had by and far the best tutorials for skating on RU-vid, even from just the 2-ish you uploaded.
Generally yes because the idea is that by shifting your went toward the back wheels, the loosens up the grip on the front wheels so your foot will have a smaller pivot point. By pushing on the heels, it will in theory allow the rear wheels to slide out a little bit (minimally not an exaggerated slide), enough so that the direction of the feet change in the direction you want to turn.

Definitely the best tutorial out there, how to progressively make your body understand !!! Downloaded for following out there. Thanks for that great tuto, better than those from flow skate, lino, bss, ... !!!
