tysm for all your videos I love them and they’re amazing (and you’re amazing!) I’m Jen and I’m a beginner skater ^-^ I’ve been skating for what would be the equivalent of total 2-3 months (spread out over the past yr lol-I might do the 365 days of skating challenge now tho!) I’m currently working on improving my general skating form (ur vid on corrective skills was a total godsend ty) + learning slightly tougher beginner/intermediate(?) things like t stops, crossovers, and transitions. I’m also thinking abt joining derby soon so it’d be awesome if you made a video talking abt what to expect from derby and your experiences more in depth or anything like that!! Again tysm for making these videos, I appreciate you queen!

@kerrycopus1766 3 года назад

I’m brand new at 51. I hope you could help me with stopping! And transition from front to back. THANK YOU! Glad I found you!

@shaelane7566 3 года назад

I’m Shae! I’ve been skating for 15 days & I’m currently working on manuals through your video tutorial! :) 💛

Hi Shae! Yay that's so awesome! :)

@thats_pretty_emo7922 3 года назад

Hi, I'm Luca, I used to go rink skating every Saturday but I had to stop because I broke my leg, but I bought some of my own skates and I'll be good to skate in a few weeks

@cherelled6419 3 года назад

Hey Shae x I have been roller skating for the past few weeks 😄 I initially started skating to help my son who was bought roller skates for his 5th birthday - he enjoys it(ish), but I have fallen in love with skating. I am currently working on backwards scissors. I am, however, having a complete block with T-Stops. When I turn my foot, my skates either bumps along or it's a sudden jolt (almost causing me to go over on my ankle) and I still don't come to a stop. I'm starting to think it could possibly be my skates/wheels that's an issue - is this possible? I had made a mission that I would nail something before I moved on, but I had to pass the T-Stop (although still trying) as I really think I'm going to injure myself. I practice outside, in the park. Any tips would be much appreciated x Thanks for all your content, it's really helping me and my son out 🙂

@violetstarburst256 3 года назад

Hi you! I think you're so fantastic! Thank you for the lovely channel that you've created. My name is Violet. I skated briefly a few years ago, but have not since 2016. I've spent the last few months watching skating tiktoks and youtubes, getting a feel for the vibe, and figuring out what it'll take to create a channel. I'm navigating beyond addiction and into recovery/abstinence. My primary goal is to spend 6 months becoming strong and maintaining the habits I've built, as consciously and gracefully, and with asuch self-love as possible, and then I get a whole set of gear at the end of it!! Just wanted to stop by and say Hey-yooo, I appreciate you, I'm excited to grow and learn and create, and I thank you gliding along in my journey.

@mystiquek9870 3 года назад

Hi I’m Stacey 🙋🏽‍♀️ I just got my rollerskates and have been practicing on the tennis court. The court is a bit uneven and makes move forward difficult, practicing indoors is way better for me. I really enjoy skating so I won’t give up. And yesss it’s expensive but I think it’s worth it. My goal is to get on a skate trail.

@naniqueprins9718 3 года назад

Hii! I'm Nanique form the Netherlands. I've been skating for one month now an I am so in love with it! I don't really have a style of my own right now, but when I get better I would like to do dance skating. I can confidently skate forwards and kinda confidently backwards. I'm currently REALLY struggling with transitions, I find them so super scary. I recently practiced with your tutorial '5 drills to Improve at roller skating', and it was so clear and fun :). xx Nanique

@antaresbauglir7094 3 года назад

Hi I'm Jo ! I started skating in mid April, start skatepark and felt on my butt. Soooo, I stoped since about two weeks now (because of pain). Aaaaand since, completely struggling. I think I love rolling (if not, I will not be here), but I put on my shoulders too much pressure and now, I'm afraid to start again. Afraid of falls and more over, afraid of the pressure, of being disgusted because my brain told me to do more and more and more and to be soooo critic about myself because I don't roll skate everyday like these girls on IG. So here I am, loving your channel, but a bit lost with my fucking brain… and still not rolling.

@jgurtz 3 года назад

Hi I'm Jason and I do inline skating, just around parking lots and garages for now. I'm mainly working on getting more comfortable with crossovers especially going to the right. Somehow my right leg just doesn't work like my left one? Then I need to work on going backward and transitions. Maybe someday I can go to a park or rip in the streets! Oh yea that mini-ramp is so awesome, stoked for you two!

@kailsgross 3 года назад

I just purchased my first pair of skates and they will be in on the 18th! I'm 25 and decided to buy skates out of frustration that my city doesn't offer many recreational sports for adults. I've been binging your videos to learn where to start when my skates come in!

@lupenunez3984 3 года назад

I’ve been skating for so long but I never put any thought into park skating or dance skating I would just coast. Now that it’s such a big deal to dance and park skate in so curious. I’m 32 years old and scared of falling and hurting myself but I’m trying my hardest. My 11 year old daughter started skating and she’s a natural.

@Ohmygosh60 3 года назад

Omg. I just tried manuals on Friday and fell and I think I fractured my left rib. I have bad balance on my right than I do my left side. I was going slow and lost all forms of balance on this day. I have never fell so hard ever. It like I black out out right before I fell. Ughh. 😔Ice, heat and meds are in rotation. For the next 3 weeks. I love your channel, love your training video you actually make efforts to brake down the terminalogy and you do it step by step. I love how your so inclusive. 💜

@DJTREMADEIT 3 года назад

Glad I found your channel. Skating is awesome! I can’t wait to get back to it. 😁🙌🏾

Hi! I'm Cash. I'm a rhythm skater but I'm getting into skate parks! Not that I'm good at it, but I would like to be

@AveriShanellJournals 3 года назад

Hiii new skater :) Working on balance and stability because I want to eventually SPINNN! Whats the easiest spin to try first? Also my skates are plastic, does that affect spinning?

@simon_slays55 3 года назад

Hiii! Yess, spinning is so fun! I actually need to learn more spins. I do jump rotations (180s, 360s) and rolling spins, I'd also love to join you and learn how to do more spins too! My best tip I can offer for spins is learning how to balance on your toes (front wheels/trucks) for the cool tight spins you see rollerskaters doing on flatground! My tutorial on Manuals teaches how I learned to do that and I'd also recommend the videos with drills for improving- there's a lot of things you can practice to build up your skills towards those moves. Sounds like you're on the right track already learning the important things first, YOU GOT THIS! Excited for you

Hi, my name's Rachel. I've been skating for over a year now. Skating style...would definitely be unique (I hear from friends😂); I like cruising on streets, trail skating, and park skating. Im not very good at dance skating, but I'm trying. Right now, I learned how to drop in and frontside stall a week ago, so backside stall is next!

@simon_slays55 3 года назад

Nice! Hi Rachel, thanks for sharing, loved this :) Congrats on getting drop ins and frontside stalls!

@haydnharris 3 года назад

I would love more information about safety and maybe roller rink etiquette. As well as more information on terminology. Lastly, how to possibly get into the dancing aspect of skating. I have been skating for a few months now at our local roller rink. I just bought my first pair. Your channel has been a significant help in understanding how to skate correctly. I can't wait for more videos! You and your partner are so precious, by the way!!! Thanks so much for taking the time to make all this content and a more personal post! I’d love to get to learn more about your journey.

@piplup10203854 3 года назад

I have officially put both of my skates on today! :D I have not tried them on anything but carpet as I'm waiting for my protective gear to come in this weekend and I need to get better insoles but when I'm moving without pain I'm having a lot of fun! I wish there were trails here to skate but there aren't so just park skating for me once I get there but I'm really excited to learn :D I just started officially day 2. Only made it like 12 minutes on my other leg cause the pain in my foot was nearly unbearable so I'm hoping that stops but once it does I'll be having more fun :)

@BeeCreates929 3 года назад

Im Brit. Ive been rink skating off and on for 20 years, but never enough to get good. I didn't put my skates on for 6 years and now I'm just getting back into it, upgrading my old GT40s for outdoor skating. At the moment my style is messing around at the playground near my house, but i want to up my game to street skating, trail skating, and park skating.

@simon_slays55 3 года назад

Hi Brit!

@whalium889 2 года назад

Why did you stop doing derby?

@Nyxxie1332 3 года назад

Hi! I am Jennifer! Your videos have been so helpful to me! Newbie street/trail skater here. Been working on improving my transition? Trying to get some speed into it. Currently transition and very low speeds decently because of your video! Really really need to work on stopping quickly on the streets more.

@maudevaillancourt3006 3 года назад

Hi! I'm Maude and I've been roller skating for over a month. I don't have a style yet because I'm just starting, but my goal is the skatepark :) I'm currently learning going backwards and transitions. I've learned breaking thanks to your videos! I started out with inline skates two months ago. After doing general research about skates, I fell in love with roller skating! I just love the vibe and creativity that comes with roller skates compared to inline skates. Both are cool, but there is something magical about roller skates.

You are awesome girl❤️🌞

@simon_slays55 3 года назад

Ah thank you! 💜

@texassky9706 3 года назад

Hi! Love your videos. I've been skating for many, many years. I started as a little kid in the '80s, rink skated through high school; then switched to blading around campus. Stopped skating for about 10 years after I had a bad crash on my blades; then started again as an exercise alternative to running. I found the skate park and very soon after broke my leg in 3 places at the park on quads. I'm just happy to rolling again quietly in the rinks and on the trails around my house...with pads and helmet, lol. Thanks for being so kind and sharing your knowledge!!

@gemmxx 3 года назад

I got my skates a few months ago but I haven’t been out skating much :( I’m still trying to look for places to skate in and hopefully some skating friends soon :) Love your channel just subbed ❤️

@Orozco3721 3 года назад

Yay new sub friend hello!🥳

@nataliegarcia73 3 года назад

Love your mission! I dont plan to take up roller skating anytime soon, but love your energy and heart. And if I do, this will be my first resource! I think a broader audience might enjoy skating montage videos or skating sounds (that sounds super relaxing) if you find the time to sprinkle these into your content!

@disturbedgwen 3 года назад

Awww so excited to see the upload! I just got my skates like a week ago and have been binging your videos. I’m not very good but slowly improving

@simon_slays55 3 года назад

Yay thank you Dani! I'm excited too, I can't wait to share them with you! I'm sure you're doing great and will just keep getting better :) Welcome!

@simonkyle23 3 года назад

@Orozco3721 3 года назад

Nice build hehe💪

@davidcontreras3164 3 года назад

Thanks for the support in getting started on street skating by posting videos. I haven't started yet, but I bought my skates and have the safety gear and will start as soon as work allows it.

@simon_slays55 3 года назад

yay so excited for you!

@miasma815 3 года назад

I'd like a tutorial on slalom/weaving cones! It's been one of the hardest on roller derby minimum skills test and I haven't found a good tutorial. My weaving is quite slow and I know there's something lacking in my technique which stops me from doing it in a faster speed.
