5 mistakes made by Beginners when learning to inline skate 

Her voice sounds like a British lady Gaga. Beautiful alto voice

this video called me a beginner in caps

I never did learn how to inline skate properly and she is spot on with these common errors - I am guilty of all five! I just bought a pair and am watching tutorials while I wait for them to arrive so I can do it properly this time around :) Thanks for this!

I’m not a beginner skater but i do learn more about skating watching these videos Thanks Asha

Thank you thank you thank you!! I started skating again after 10 years (I am 27) and I clearly see that my back pain was coming from leaning forward. Thankfully I do yoga too and I hope I can achieve a good posture when I practice next time. Thank you sooo much for all your tome and effort to teach us😍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🛼⛸

It's been 20 years since I last had my blades on, and my 12 yrs old daughter asked for a pair so it can be something we could do together. I jumped on the idea, did my research and ordered 2 pairs of Rollerblade skates - not that easy to get in the UK, the variety is small. Thank goodness I found your channel, cause apparently the 20 years break from skating meant I started giving her the worst lessons, absolute opposites of what nad how to do. We're only doing it for fitness (my days of anything beyond are clearly gone) but still I found myself unsure and nervous - also nearly took out a fence trying to stop! Thanks for the great tutorials, my girl is a huge fan of yours now, let's hope with your help I can regain what used to be natural talent ;-)

Tip 3 is brilliant 🤩 At least my back will be no more in pain after 15 minutes skating, i hope 😏 I have to try this body position soon.

I never felt more called out when she started talking about turning instead of stopping :'D

Not me watching this doing all the wrong things except the last one because that's how I taught it to myself as a child lol

Thanks for the lesson I've signed up for ice skating lessons that start on the 31st but didn't want to be limited to just the ice so I bought a pair of good inline skates and am having a few issues and you've already taught me a few great things to help me. Thanks 😊

I used to be able to skate, but a few months ago I hurt my ankle pretty badly and now I’m back at square one, I understand the tying, I’m messing up the stance although I am fully aware of what I should be doing, and stopping is definitely something I have to relearn, it’s hard but I still have the knowledge of what I need t9 do, I just need to put in the practice, I actually just came back from a 2 hour rollerblade practice, I took a walk and found a spot where I skate, I fell down but I didn’t give up and I’m glad, I. Going to keep doing this until I’m back to doing what I love

Thank so much ma'am... helpful😍 Love from Sudanese❤️🇸🇩

Appreciate you! Thanks for the tips. I just got my in-line skates today 😄😄😄

Thank you!!!! I picked this hobby up recently after years and I needed the advice

Great video for beginners, thankyou

I found this video very informational. Thank you! I will soon be rollerblading as soon as they come in the mail and I want to be sure I don't make any mistakes. I have been roller skating (quad skates) for some time now. Not consistently, though, but enough to where I could consider myself past the beginner stage.

I've just started skating at the age of 48. Never done anything similar before! I find your videos really helpful :) At the moment i'm trying to get on the skates every day, even if it's only for ten minutes. i'm gradually getting a feeling of being stable. what you say about getting the weight over the front of the skates really helps me here. i realised a few days a go that i often have the feeling that my skates are about to slip forwards, and moving my weight forwards helps greatly :)

I want to start skating and this video seems the best of all I've seen. Thanks so much for helping me with a good start. God bless your heart

I am guilty of a few of these. I used to skate with no fear when I was a kid and could sharp turn stop. Now some 20 years later I'm no where near as confident so I will take on board these tips and try harder!

Your video's are to the point and good. Thanks.

Asha , you’re really treasure ,, thank you sooooo😘

This was extremely helpful! Thank you!

Always good to see asha on the PS channel

I got my first pair of inline skates for fathers day this year and have been skating 2-3 times per week since. At this point I consider myself an advanced beginner in that I am pretty comfortable on my skates but my technique leaves much to be desired. Your videos are super helpful. For what its worth my skates don't have a heel brake so I learned using the T stop and it always felt pretty natural.

Precious concrete tips.thank you😉

This video is spot on! Thank you 🙏🏻

You helped me correct my posture when skating! TYVM I was leaning forward too much, instead of bending my knees. 👍

Omg thank you! I just bought some powerslide inlines and watched other videos and this one auto played. Im so thankful you mentioned the laces thing. I though the laces had to be laced all the way up even though I have straps. Lol you also gave a great tip on the power strap. My ankle/leg is a little skinny and I wondered why I couldnt tighten it. Hahaha its been a decade since ive been on inlines and not quads. Wish me luck 😄

This is the most useful set of tips I've seen for beginner skating, thanks!

really helpful video. thanks.

thanks a lot, i literally made most of the mistakes, i appreciate it!

really good tips for beginner.thank you for the tips

I'm waiting for my flying eagle to arrive. Collect as much knowledge and trick as i can from you before start my first skating. 😁 Wish me luck guys. I'm 27years old this year. Hope it's not to late to try my childhood dream.

Great video, thank you

just got back from my first inline skating session 5 minutes ago, then immediately watched this video! I did all 5 items, with the added bonus of not having a helmet, wrist protection, elbow, nor knee protection! hahahaa!

great video ! thanks for the tips!

This was great, Asha!

You are the best!, saludos desde México.

Stumbled across your video while looking at Luminous wheels, great advices you gave, I do appreciate! I want to learn the proper way how to skate, will check out the site you mentioned in the video. Greetings from Romania!

Gracias por el video I understand enough because you explain easy thanks a lot for this video

Thanks a lot for the tips. Really helpful 🙂🙂

THIS is very helpful. I am very new to inline skates.

Thank you so much!

This super helpful!!

Great work! 😎

Thank you so much my parents never taught me how to skate, great video :)

Wow this position is exactly the one needed to do while riding a horse ❤️ I already loved staking

This was really good.

thank you so much! i was literally doing all of the steps wrong and wondering why i wasn't making any progress lol anyway thank you so so much and please keep uploading!

I got my first skates two days ago, and I do everything in this video lol

Thank you.

Dziekuje Jezdze od Jessieni tantego roku Dzięki Tobie nauczyłam się hamować T - stopem i beczką oraz bez problemu przejadę 20 km. Teraz czas nauczyć się jazdy tylem. Dziękuje bardzo i serdeczne pozdrowienia z Polski

Getting back into this for fitness as running hasn’t been kind on my knees. Thanks for the video, no more leaning forward for me!

great video!

thanks maam!

Tnx so much!

Refreshing! ;) (Tnx Asha)

Thanks🥰🥰

2months ago I had to master few ways of stopping before I started skating on the streets when I was just starting. I now skate on streets almost everyday. Safely.

Merci for the video Madame

Halleluyah! After having my surgery yesterday on a broken wrist / forearm, getting metal plates inserted, I can say these points are not to be underestimated. Thank you for sharing. I broke my thumb falling backwards on same skates, and prior to that my left wrist / forearm in 08/2020, needed a cast and physio for months. Not having any break or anything but helmet on with my first outdoor skate was my first massive mistake, breaking the first L wrist clean backwards. Halleluyah, I did not need invasive surgery. I am 203.5cm tall and purchased the PS Next megacruiser 125s, as I couldn't really fit any other boots being a EU 48-49. I soon realized they are far from beginner friendly, the ride height and speed are one thing, but I have been able to learn to handle that. The biggest issue I've had is that the stock frame for these next skates, a great stiff frame mind you, is not long enough to be safe for someone with a boot / foot size much larger than the wheelbase of the frame. I've set the frame alignment further back upon advice from people online and in my local skating community here in Brisbane, Australia. However the physics of being on a smaller balance point to my regular foot, has made these skates so dangerous now I do not dare skate them again.... Perhaps, PS could put some kind of sticker or advice on skates that would have similar issues when you get into larger foot sizes, because it may help someone else not get injured. I do not want to give up on skating though I now feel like I need to buy a new skate or new frame + wheel setup. I've been looking at the MG Elite Casted white frame that comes with the PS Swell Road 125 Grey skate, which is much longer, sadly I can't seem to buy that frame anywhere online or in shops anywhere in the world 😔 Those frames may have been ideal for my Eu 48-49 foot size. Just thought I'd share with you PS, and maybe it'll help someone else who is looking at getting into inline skating with their purchase.

3mins in the video and I’m so guilty of these. Thanks for this

My mom taught me how to skate when i was 6 already.. But i had to watch this.. Lol but good luck to all beginners.. Shes right, bend your knees and tie your boots tight.. Don't push yourself to hard you wont get anywhere.... Take it slow..

Your video was very helpful compared to others. The struggle is real in maintaining the proper stance

I've been skating for 15 years and I only just recently found the concept of stopping, this is the consequence of self-teaching lmaooo

lmao when i was 12 and would go skating at a rink i never learned how to stop and would just slam into the wall to stop instead. determined to do better now

Insainly helpful

after 10y , i'm picking it up again.. those 3 wheel skate looks funky.. may i add the correct protection..? it is a huge confidence boost.. beginner: knee padding /elbow, average: elbow/wrist, advanced : wrist.., with a helm on a vert or downhill..

Skating on the beach, I'm jealous! Looks like you have some graphix wheels?

Oooh, Brighton

I wish that Asha posted more free tutorial videos for intermediate/advanced skaters

Wowww you got an amazing beach behind you, I only get to skate in the city

But I'm a beginner and want to go fast :-(

You are a star and in Brighton 😀

Yupp, im doing all of these :D edit: Well except lacing, that I do correctly!

Excellent and very helpful video👏 I can recognize myself in all your examples😁. Just two questions: 1. I've been skating for several months but my legs keep shaking, I don't feel stable. Is it just about weak muscles? 2. What is the reason my feet and tendons hurt so much almost every time?

This has been very helpful. What distance do you recommend a beginner should do to start?

I Remember skating for the first time xD it was about 4 years ago

After getting back into blading from a few years off not doing it. Is it common to feel it in the feet? I know you're not a doctor but I'm thinking it's just because I haven't done the sport for so long. The insteps/top of my feet were aching after. So I'm guessing it's just because I was using all those tendons and muscle more than usual because of the activity.

In the sissor position can you have either foot in front? Except when you want to use the heel brake then the right foot would be in front.

1:55 On my FR1 skates the top strap does not bottom out but there is a lot of excess that wraps inside between the outer hard shell and the boot. I have thought about cutting the strap shorter to eliminate that.

i have bad balance on inline skates so i keep falling if i try glide/ skate tips?

This skate clip has become a classic. (Well, at least for me. ;) )

What is the realistic progression time frame to go from absolute beginner to being comfortable skating in the park/street? I'm quite tall and 40+

Hi just one question wheel size for beginners. I started inline skating last month my skates have 84mm 82a wheels .do you recommend a smaller wheel ? I seem to be doing ok ,but I am sure I could do better. Also any suggestions on skating over small twigs, as our park has very smooth surfaces but becomes littered with leaves etc. Oh , by the way I am 75 next week but have done a fair amount of ice skating 👍I find inline challenging

hi i just want to ask...want is the size of your skate's wheels tnx

My skates are fully lace up. They don’t have any buckles. Are they safe to wear? I’ve worn them many times and they seem fine but all the videos I’ve seen have buckles.

👍👍👍😍

I'm starting off with 4x110mm wish me luck!!

I have speed laces on mine so I don't have to worry. I just pull up on the laces and then it's tight. just roll up the laces and then tuck them in the slot at the top.

after already 20 years of driving im still far away from mastering breaking, there are even some stops (parallel slide / powerstop and Magic Slide) I'm still not able doing..... So yea. It definitely needs more Time than driving. I can finally Drive on Any Surface really high speed and so on, Im finally at least a good stoper, but still Skating is a endless travel ...

Beautiful

I would like to see you in México. Preety soon.

👍👍🤩🤩~

Asha, I took over my father's inline skates, who has a wider foot than me. I tighten up the shoes as much as I can, but at the end I guess that I have too much space left to the sides of my foot. This makes me really unsecure when trying to drive curves while crossing my feet. I am missing a lot of stability, but perhaps I am just too beginner. Am I right?
