How To Transition On Roller Skates | BEGINNERS GUIDE 

GAME CHANGER. I struggle with the turn-out-step transition and instead tried out the pivoted one today and finally GOT IT! Thank you 🥰🥰🥰

Just had to come back to say THANKYOU. My friend and I had been struggling with all kinds of transitions until we watched this. Mwah!!!!

You definitely deserve a lot more views! Honestly, it's probably easy to teach someone to do something, but you actually break it down so well so that those who aren't even at the stage of being able to attempt the move, can BUILD up to getting to where they want to be. I just watched 3-4 of your videos for things that I'm working on currently and OMYGOSH, you explain the drills and the baby steps so well I can't thank you enough!!! Love your videos!! Thanks a lot for doing this!!!

These exercises has me transitioning by the end of the day!! Thank you for this type of demonstration!!!

omg thank you!!! Every guide i've seen for the pivot transition, they say "you just pivot like this" but don't actually break down how you shift your weight or anything. Can't wait to practice this!

You made it so less scary!!! Appreciate you☀️🤗

Love this!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I just wanted to say that I also could not get this down until this video. Thank you so much 🥰

I already liked this video 🤩 I'm gonna try transitions today again 🙃

Great video! This is how it should be taught

Wow this is a great explanation. I’ll try this. Thanks 🙏

Good explanation. I'll be watching this a few more times until my skates come in.... thank you ma'am.

BEST tutorial.

I found you on TikTok and can I just say how truly inspiring you are both in your skating and your determination to live a happy life! Seeing someone actively not participating in diet culture and looking as banging as you do whist also living their best life is truly the greatest! from a fellow aussie xxoo

THANK YOU SOOO MUCH for showing me these practice drills! I can not wait to try on skates tomorrow!

This was SO SO helpful, thank you! Practicing out of skates was a game changer and helped me get used to the motions without the scariness of being on 8 wheels! I’ve tried to learn transitions a few times now but after watching this video I can do it! Will definitely come back for more tutorials ☺️

Loved this video! I have been hesitating to practice these because they make me feel very unstable, but now I understand how to build up to them more gradually and with more control. Thank you!

i just broke my wrist trying to learn how to transition (may or may not have been bending my knees) but watching all your videos has helped me visualize what to do when i can skate again! going to practice out of skate all these techniques ♡

RU-vid recommended you. I'm a newbie on quads and your channel is perfect! I'm practicing in my room. Subscribed!!!

Thanks so much. I might like the pivot also. We'll see once my skates come.

Thanks to this video I could FINALLY learn how to transition. Greetings from Argentina! Thank you!!! 🇦🇷

Will be practicing...ty!!! Gr8 breakdown of the steps. 🙂

I'm soooo glad I came across this video!!! That pivot turn worked much better for me than the other one! So happy!

WOW. I love this video. So clearly explained. Thank you thank you thank you!!!!

Your drills are EVERYTHINGGGG thank you 🙏🌟

Your progression steps are best. Thank you!

Amazing thanks love your channel thank you so much for sharing your knowledge

thank you... very clear explanation with tips how to practice...

awesome video

Best video ever !!!!! Thank you so much. Trying without skate is the way to go

Yes!!!! I so needed the break down like this!! I can do the step one (terribly and it grinds me to a hault) keen to try these others!! Thank you so much!!

Omg! Finally someone that explains easy and to the T. New sub. This is has been a killer for me. Thanks ☺️ so much. Great video 😌

Practicing without skates on is a brilliant idea! I'm still practicing in my socks and when I get a bit better I'll try it on skates. You're the best RU-vid skating coach, hands down. Thanks so much for doing this, you're awesome! ❤️❤️❤️

I’ve been trying to transition for MONTHS and it wasn’t until this video I finally started to get it!! Thank you!🤩🤩💓💓

DUDE I HAVE WATCHED SO MANY VIDEOS AND YOURS IS THE ONLY ONE THAT CLICKED! THANK :)

I am so glad I have found your channel. You have a great way of explaining. If it wasn’t raining right now, I would go outside. I have very limited space inside and still, I followed your instructions and I really think it clicked! I can’t wait to try it out on pavement tomorrow. Thank you! Greetings from 🇨🇦!

This is something I'm super struggling with right now, gonna try the offskates movements & see if that breaks this mental block!

Thank you! This is the most helpful video I've ever seen about how to make a transition on roller skates, I think that doing the exercises first with your feet on the floor is sooo helpful, I think with your help I'll finally can do it! Thanks a lot and definitely you have my subscription to your channel!

THANK YOU!!! 💐💜💐

Thank you so much for this video!! I’ve gotten really good at forward and backward skating, but have been stumped on transitions for weeks now. This vid made something in my brain click!!

This is really helpful!! Thank you ☺️

Taking my skating to the next level thank you :)

This was really helpful , just started skating and was having trouble transitioning

Nice View

Very helpful, we have just started learning transitions in fresh meat and I've been really struggling. I always referr to your videos when we learn a new skill so I can practice at home 💕💕

I love your videos. Everything you do looks so precise but you also explain the steps very well. Because of this I learned to transition before my wife did and she is not happy about it. lol I'm also quickly wearing out my crappy toe stops because sliding into a stop backwards on them is about the coolest thing I know how to do. Thanks!

I am still learning how to skate and develop my skills, so I was seek randomly to learn transition, but all what I saw never best than this video, thank you so much 😭😭 and also I will follow you maybe need some help .

Awesome video!

Ugh thank you so much, I've got the open book transition fairly down ( at least one way and not moving fast lol) but pivoting freaks me out! Anytime I have to add a small hop I get so nervous!! I was able to pick it up tho and do some tiny pivots today just to get the ball rolling💪🏻✨ tip from another beginner for anyone else: just commit and accept you will fail while practicing 😂 the sooner you fully commit to a move the sooner you'll pick it up!!💕

im new to your channel, im subscribing right now! the step transition is so hard for me... so i will try the pivoted one, hope it works ♥ great video

Golden content ❤️❤️

Kind thanks, very helpful. Also, my garage is a disaster.

Thank you! I'm 52 and getting back into skating after too many years. I need some focus on transitions and your video was great preside in my home❣️ I just subscribed!!!

Thank u

Yoooo that was tricky but fun.

Omg just found your channel. Why did this take me so long?!?! I cant get a hang of the step step transition, tomorrow morning im gonna go try the pivot method. Thanks so much, i just subscribed!😍

I love this. My teammate/instructor is really drilling in the look back and turn method. Naturally I am sort of turning and pivoting around 1 foot in a heel up, front wheel down position. It worries me because when I don't make the flip fully it drags my wheels. Then looking backward is really disorienting for me right now. I am going to try the heels up on both skate pivot transition tomorrow. That seems to be one that may come a little more naturally to me.

Okay TRANSITIONS UNLOCKED. I do not understand why it didn't click before this video but I'm so glad it did 💓

Thank you this was really helpful! I have a fused neck and therefore can't turn my head much so I'm having to get around that. I'm super close to getting it though.

Thus good transition

Out of all the videos this one clicked with me the most.

It's a commitment! 💍🤝

Notes: knees bent and hips dropped. pivot transition: Turn your body and swing your hips and simultaneously go on balls of your feet and swivel into the direction of your back foot. Knees are hip width apart. Step transition: move your back foot first and then other one.

Marilyn, in the step out back leg front leg transition, is it equal body weight on both feet?

It’s doing it with speed that I have a problem with.

I want to learn both but I’m struggling with the step transition. I have a good feeling about the pivot one! I’m going to try that one next

I love your videos so much! I like that you always give us drills to work up strength the the movement we are working on! I would love a video of just drills! Also, what happened to your IG? The link isn’t working. 😕

Thanks for this video! Would you say I need to learn to skate a little bit backwards before learning transitions? I tried doing both you showed here but I can't do full 180° and I also immediately stop when I turn around, I'm not going backwards as a continuation of my movement :(

How will it work while on motion?

Is this the same transition you would do when skating with some speed to go from front to back?

I have zero turn out. Like. My feet turn in when I walk. Pivot is way easier for me. Can't believe I did it! Thank you!

Please how can I do to following you

gonna try the pivot transition!! the turn out step one has always been impossible for me, me feet somehow will not turn out like that

Why can't I DO THIS I AM SO DONE ALREADY IT'S BEEN 4 HOURS, FULLY DEDICATED I JUST WANT TO DO IT ALREADYYYYYYY Edit: i can do it while not moving, but once i movei just get so confused and completely lose the technique

Like everyone else here, this CLICKED for me. I got it in a single session after working on the eagle transition for a week. Edit: going faster speeds, does the two foot transition slightly turn into a jump/one foot?

im trying to transition but when i go to turn i keep stopping !! im trying your way tomorrow i hope it helps

Whenever I'm skating and I try to do the transition I do the transition successfully sometimes but when I do it my skates to stop moving and I trip

I’ve been skating two to three months and still can’t do this. So frustrated. And I have absolutely no skate friends to do it with me unfortunately

I struggle so much with the step-step one so I'm working on the pivoting one and it seems to work better for me, thank you for this video it's super clear💕 just one question: If I transition backward to forward can I do the pivoting one the same? Is it better to pivot on by back wheels in that case? Thank you 😊

Can you pretty please do a one foot transition?? I land on my ass every time, and I can’t work out if I need to be on my toes one way heels the other way.... 👏👏👏 this vid was so helpful!! Thank you!!!!😊

I already liked this video 🤩 I'm gonna try transitions today again 🙃
