I'm not even close to trying to do cartwheels or airiels, but your tip about doing the lil jump to help with muscle memory is going to help me on sooo many things. I have the hardest time not bailing onto my toestops for everything!
Found this video in a reddit comment thread randomly. I have no interest in roller/inline skating, but I loved this. Very interesting video, and kudos for the absolute skill needed to pull this off.
Thank you so much for putting in so much effort to the video! 🙏 Extremely underrated content! Hope your contribution to the online video tutorial leads your channel well! 👏👏👏
Towards the end of the video I show skating forwards and doing a hand plant with a little jump. You want to focus on landing in the stance you would when landing a cartwheel. It's mainly to try and get muscle memory and confidence in landing on wheels.
You are the best inline skating RU-vid teacher out there and you don't even inlineskate :) Except for having toestops everything translates quite well, sooo yeah
Great tutorial! I can do the cartwheel on skates on a flat surface by pushing off/rolling off from my leading foot toe-stops. On the ramp, do you still push off from your toe-stops on the transition before entering the cartwheel? Thanks 🙏🏻
No, it's more that I push off my front wheels instead of toe stop. I think pushing off your toe stop might impact your momentum if it happened to catch in the ramp.
Thank you so much for this tutorial. Almost landed an aerial today. But everytime i put my hands down on the last second. Do you maybe have any tips for that?
Hey shorty!!! So.. ive been hitting a brick wall lately. I can do a pretty neat and tidy cartwheel on flat ground. No skates. As soon as I put my skates on. Everytime I try and cartwheel just on the ground.. I fall to my forearms. Like my arms cannot hold up my weight+the skates or something. My friend. Who is MUCH tinier than I am and *probably* not as strong.. can do a perfect cartwheel(on toe stops) on flat ground. And I'm likeeeeee ready to scream. Because I want to do this so bad. But I can't seem to hold myself up !!
It's easier to do when on a ramp and the curve of the ramp helps with the rotation. If you can do a cartwheel pretty well without skates you could practice the form off skates on the ramp to get use to the body position and then once you are feeling confident try it with skates on. But start low and slow and then look to build up to height.
It's helpful to have the basic understanding of body positioning of cartwheeling without skates, but the ramp will help you with momentum to help your leg over.
Yes, I find it easier as you have a longer base and can push off your toe later. You can check out my aerial in this clip at the end. instagram.com/reel/CPbCDgtBx-Y/
i tried to do a cartwheel, but the heavy ness of the skates absolutely destroyed me. It seems that nobody else really has that problem though. How do you get used to the weight of the skates when doing a cartwheel?
I have heard quite a few skaters have issues with the weight of skates. But with doing a cartwheel on the transition/ ramp is actually easier than on flat ground because the ramp helps with momentum. The more you skate, the more you will get use to weight.
