Hi, I'm Emily or yskaaate (I say why-skate, haha)! I'm a roller skater from Miami, Florida. I document my daily practices while sharing resources and tutorials on my Instagram instagram.com/yskaaate/. I created this channel as an additional platform to share my tutorials and create other types of content for roller skaters.
I'm in no way a professional. I'm actually self-taught, and because of that, I want to help others who are teaching themselves! So join me on this crazy journey :)
OMG! I NEVER comment on RU-vid, but I just have to say thank you! I’ve been struggling with Strut walk for the past 5 months. I’ve watched so many videos but nothing was working. I would say I’m pretty good and strut walk should be one of the things I can do… Anyways, I watched your video for just a few minutes and I’m now doing it.
i dont rollerskate but i can see how my cruising on freeskates translate with slalom. I am noobie in skating and had no idea what path i will go with skates. after seeing this video, I figured it out where I go with my skates. 1 sub here, ma'am.😊
Thx! I miss the skating days. They were definitely the best time of my life!!!! I bought a pair of skates a few months back and have been chickenshit to try them out for fear of busting my ass 😂 But I definitely used to be a roller queen! All the dance moves and everything😂 I've bought some dance plugs, and I cannot figure out how to put them in 🤷♀️
THANK YOU!! And I’ve been skating since age 6 🥴 (I won’t say how old I am now but I have a son that’s older than you and one that’s young enough to be your little brother 😂. I’m going to watch this again several times over!
cool video! do you recommend removing the stoppers? Just got my pair of Moxy skates and I am trying to practice but I find they get in the way. Thanks!
This is my kind of video. Simple and straight to the point. Professional and you had a little pic for the visual learners. Thank you for sharing this with us.
thank you Emily, that is actually what I wanted to know. My street is going a little downhill where my house is, so I decided to skate in my neighbourhood . First time I tried to use grass, so I was walking through the grass to some point when I thought It's safe to skate, but as I put the wheels off the grass I fell on my but. Oh God !😅 It hurts that I took off my skates and walked back home. My second attempt was again the same from my house through the grass to when I though it 's ok , but as I start getting more speed, I was scared to do anything, I was just thinking to keep myself safe on the wheel until I got to the end of downhill and scroll myself to a brace position until I stoped.😂My legs were shaking but I made it! I never try again, still not comfortable enough.
I've had the hardest time learning this strut move but I love it so I kept trying and trying and after a couple months I have finally learned it. I'm so happy about it! Thank you so much for the tutorial video of how to do it. I love how simple you make it. 👍🔥👍
I liked your video 😊 I appreciate this a lot more than people who talk through the tips because I can get confused sometimes lol but this was very helpful!
My first attempt at the dribble with jam plugs. I got the first part down but had trouble with the pivot. Hope to have that down soon. Thank you for such a great tutorial. 😍
