Thanks a lot for all the information. I must also say that it's nice to watch your videos: crisp image, very good sound, nice background music, good transitions between the chapters: good work!

You are a great teacher. I really like how you start small and then build it up into the skill. Your in between tips are very informative and helpful . Like I can't tell you how many skating tutorials I've seen where the person rambles or says "you just do it like this". Subbed

I really like how you added where to push from the inside on your video. This is probably the ONLY video out there that tells this! Very helpful for people trying to learn backwards skating. You should do a forward skating video showing the same thing and that would be the only one in existence. I as a new skater looked and looked for info like that and could never find it until you helped me out and answered my question in one of your videos. The weight and how to push is one of the most important things in skating but never added in videos for some strange reason. Thank you so much you have some of the BEST videos around! Hugs to you!

@Skatie 3 года назад

Thank you. That’s really kind. I try to say where the weight goes as it can be hard to see from just watching. I have a forward video too! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-znYKw5GQZVA.html

I love wearing my denim button up, when I go to the local rink. It gives me a sort of a confidence booster. It helps do these sorts of skating patterns, with confidence. Plus, I like to stand out. I usually throw on a headband, a pair of sweats and again, my denim button up. I don't close the shirt though, I leave it unbuttoned and I'll wear a t shirt with a logo or writing on it. I also roll up the sleeves on the denim button up, to just above my elbows. It makes people look and it's quite comfortable and fitting to the occasion. It does help with skating, because I know I look good.

Many, many moons ago I took a skating class. The objective was to learn how to skate backwards. I’m one of those folks that needs to understand it, not just watch & mimic. Unfortunately, my instructor was not able to explain it to me. I couldn’t figure out backwards propulsion. NOW, I understand. Thank you.

I’m severely visually impaired and even though I’ve been skating for 10 years, I still can’t backwards skate. My vision is terrible, like beyond glasses fixing it bad, and I don’t trust myself being able to see well enough looking over my shoulder. I want to at least know how to do it even if I don’t do it for the safety of myself and other skaters at my rink XD. Anyways cheers for the tutorials.

@Skatie 3 месяца назад

Can you get someone at the rink to be your spotter ? When we’re skating and chatting we often skate one forwards, one backwards and we spot for the other one. I’ve grabbed many a skaters arm to save them from a backwards crash! 💥

I started bakward skating and a very young age. Probably around 8 years old. What helped me was pushing myself away from a wall and wiggling my feet. Now I prefer backward skating versus forward skating. Going forward puts immense pressure on my shins it is horrible!

What's funny is that for me, the easiest way for me to stop is the 180 turn around toe stop, which is like how you are stopping in thos video with an extra step. I have such a hard time with plow stops and T stops, but somehow 180's are super easy!

Try working on a one foot bubble with just the leg that won't co-operate forwards and then backwards to get the feel of it. You've got this. xx

@juanding9450 Год назад

Skatie, your videos are great! Is there any difference in doing bubbles with inline skates vs roller skates? I can skate out but have trouble bringing feet together in the 2nd half of bubble, whether forward or backward bubble, with inline skates (I don't have roller skates)

@Skatie Год назад

Think about bringing your knees together. It squeezing your thighs together. Don’t go too wide as that makes it harder to come back together again.

It’s best to have the wheels free rolling. Loosen the nut so the wheels roll but not so loose that they have movement up and down the axel.

When you kick your foot out, do the wheels come off the ground?

@Skatie 2 года назад

It’s best to take the pressure off the back wheels so they kick out easier. If you have harder wheels they’ll slide more but the weight needs to come slightly forwards to release the back wheels a little so they can move easier. So yes they do lift a little.

Combining your video here and Dirty Deborah Harry’s video at ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-j9cEoRuRdag.htmlsi=RL-UgMeN_VD9BQsC makes backwards skating around a rink finally make sense. Just thinking out _the movement,_ I think a good way to practice without skates on would be to walk or jog some karaokes. If you do laps around the perimeter of a space like a parking lot or a room, it would simulate backwards cross-pulls in a rink. If you’re only going leading-foot-under (like this ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-EzRqBSKi1Go.htmlsi=KlDQ4XNUJT-jVdEC ), I think the foot positioning and movements might be exactly the same for backwards cross-pulls. I’m so glad I found this video (and that one ☝️from Dirty Deborah Harry). This makes a lot more sense now. Thank you!
