LEARNING TO ROLLER SKATE IN 30 DAYS (FAILS + SUCCESS) 

To all beginners ..... There's a lot of videos like this out there. People documenting how quickly they manage to do something. Remember this is not the reality for most and to not feel discouraged when your progress is not moving as quick. The most important thing is to enjoy every moment on skates regardless of how gd you are.

For any beginner I have a tip for you whenever you're about to fall going to squatting position I know it seems embarrassing but I promise ever time I did this I didn't fall omg this help me so much

a gymnastic background is definitely an advantage. Yours is quite obvious.

At the age of 10 I fell so hard while skating I thought I broke my tail bone. It was a painful experience and it traumatized me from ever wanting to skate again. I’m 25 now and I told myself I was ready to face my fears and get back into skating. Skating is so fun, freeing and a great form of exercise. I was gifted a pair of skates for Christmas and I made a commitment to myself and my skates that no matter what- I will excel and get better. Im officially on day 3 of practicing and have been incorporating mind & body connections with my new skates. My mind is already causing my body to automatically tense up bc it’s trying to protect me from experiencing my previous fall again so I’ve been affirming to myself as well. Good luck to everyone on their skating journeys! Take your time, Love yourself, trust yourself & learn to accept & celebrate the falls, flaws & successes! 🎉❤ we got this!

the determination? the confidence?! the cute fits?!? this video is super fun and inspirational !!

You made so much progress in such little time! That's amazing!

I have been skating for a couple of weeks now and I can barely skate forwards without freaking out. You are a true inspiration! So freaking fearless

I’ve seen a few other roller skating progress videos that gave me realistic expectations that I won’t learn overnight lol but your journey is so different and fun to watch! It’s actually really inspiring to see how much you fall and keep going

Girl, this is amazing! I’ve only been skating a year and I’m still terrified of 360’s, however I started working on them this week. I’m also insanely impressed how quickly it took you to learn to keep balance with pumping. I can now pump, stall, and fakie back into the bowl 😊 I want to try the cartwheel too!

hello my rolers arrive today and im gonna start you are an inspiration !! :)

Thanks for a great video Lindsey, I’m sharing this with my wife! I really want her to learn and this video shows the reality of learning how to skate safely and well. It’s not easy but persistence pays off. Well done and keep on rolling ❤️ Jens of London

The amount of progress you have made is insane! Really, I appreciate how you are so fearless, and this makes me want to go out on my skates and practice new things again, I loved the video 💖

I’m so jealous of any roller skaters with a background in gymnastics 😩😩😩

Loved this! You did so amazing and learned moves so fast! Go girl!

This will sound strange but you are really good at falling! You never badly injured yourself despite constantly taking risks, I really aspire to just go for it and not care about falling but I always manage to injure myself badly.

I literally love your personality and how you really debate out loud lol awesome job!

Your jump turns are amazing!! I’ve been skating regularly for 2 years and am just now learning to jump over a crack. I’d love to be able to nail a jump 180 and you’re doing 360’s at week 2! 😮 Rock on!!

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS! Welcome to the roller gang!

Having a gymnast background is definitely propelling you forward in skating, as you are less worried about falling and have a good understanding of balance, you rock 🤘🏾 well done! I can't wait to start my skating journey from inline to quads, you give me hope 😂 practice makes perfect

Yess we love to see the Triple 8 gear!!

LOVE ❤️ THE REALNESS... GREAT JOB!!!

WOW, amazing video. Thank you for sharing. After 30 days you look like you’ve been doing it all your life. I can only imagine 7 months later.

You are legit super inspiring! I am looking into getting my first pair of skates since I was a kid and I really want them as a way to add an additional variety to my workouts and I would love to do that thing called flow skating I really love the backwards kinda flow skating as it looks almost like gliding and I did something similar as a kid but I'm terrified of trying to learn it at all so seeing you talk and work through really helped and gives me inspiration that I might be able to do something like this! Hopefully I learn it like you have done, you're amazing!

Congrats dear!! So inspiring

for new skaters, learn knee taps, the T-stop, and plow stops!! knee taps are amazing for getting confident at falling. eventually you dont want the knee tap just to be a full fall, and you want to use it to regain balance and immediately get back up. :))!! yall are doing so well

This is sooooo inspiring! I wanna skate with my daughter.

Great video! I'm waiting for payday and I'm going to snag a pair of inline skates. I used to ice skate as a kid and still skateboard every now and then, so I'm hoping that translates well to my inlines :D

Aaah! I was so exiting while watching you video! You did a great job with editing and a lots of love from Holland (the Netherlands)❤️ PS: I got rollerskates too!🤩

Thanks so much for sharing!

Your clothes are so organized it's incredible

This is so cute. Well done for your progress!

Hey Lindsey! It's incredible how far you've come with the rollers in this short amount of time! Proud of you even if I don't know you! Keep going you're giving me so much courage to try myself! I've purchased my first pair only yesterday and I haven't properly tried yet!! This is the first video of yours I'm watching and I feel pretty bad I'm criticizing anything since overall was a great great video editing was awesome too, but if you could look into something for any future videos would probably be the volume of the music it's a bit loud comparing to the natural sound and the volume of your voice. Like probably try to make the volume a bit equal so it doesn't have to go up to hear you and down when the music is playing.❤❤ Keep going you're very very good at what you're doing. And that was very entertaining and helpful!

I’m gonna buy some roller skates Tomorrow and I’m very excited to learn how to skate!

Oh wow I didn’t realize your channel only had 50-ish subs. The video is great! You are so talented, I did not expect the roller skate aerial combo! That was epic. I feel like I’m getting in on a future popular channel so early! I’m definitely here for more skate content 🙂 I’m hoping to get skates this May, hopefully 😅 I really want the cute Triple 8 rainbow gear set as well but I just don’t have the confidence haha. I’m 5’1 with permanent baby face and the head of a toddler so I’m sure I would look like a little kid wearing it 😩 I know it’s not a fashion show but I’m super self conscious about it I hate getting mistaken for a kid.

you are inspirational and you seem like a nice person too..

roller skating and exhibitionism seem to go hand in hand on youtube

When I was still learning how to use the toe stop brake , I bend my legs and then put my hands on the ground and then fall on purpose. It helped me when I was figuring out how to stop

Oh your day 2 is crazy! I'm over 30 days skating and still just balance is my mission 😄 I guess it will take some time

Day 3 and I started doing cartwheels..... Day 3...cartwheels? !!! 😂 You are crazy😆 love it 🙏😁 well done

Great 👍 Being fit and gymnastics definitely gives you an advantage, we that aren't that flexible and out of shape might take a little longer, like quite longer 😅

a big tip that will help beginner skaters is to bend your knees more than feels natural. as well as going into an almost full squat when you feel yourself falling, instead of flailing your arms :))

Thanks for the video , I am beginner, congratulations

I love roller 🤩

Amazing how she learned to skate that well, that fast. That second big fall looked like a broken tailbone for sure. Glad she was 👍🏾

You had an amazing progress. Your gimnastic background really showed off

8:01 💗💗💗💗💗💗

How are people this good so fast?? Lol im still practising standing and going forward a week or so later lol

I have those exact skates from Candy Girl!!!

Congrats! That's very inspiring, I'm ordering my first roller skates soon :) You know, the audio from your camera is really good, but the voice-over quality not so much. Maybe you could use your camera's mic for voice-over and simply convert videos to mp3?

You at the skate park is litteraly me yesterday xD

I think if you removed the toe stop or got a smaller one, you would have fallen less. It seemed to be catching and making you fall. Great progress for just 30 days! Hope you are still skating.

Hi! Where did you buy your protective gear set? It's really cute!

did u do anything to your roller boots by the way like loosen anything or change anything and this is amazing this video

Your a natural

I am cry laughing at your wardrobe xD if it doesn't sum you right up tho hahaha

You are epic I got my skates yesterday and I've been doing it on carpet and imma try outside tommorow can u plzz give me tipsss

Can they be ridden on uneven pavement? Or is it only recommended to ride on a perfectly flat surface?

Day 4 toe stop: „... it supposed to be a beginner move ...” :-)

Is your tail bone okay from the ramp fall?

Cómo sabes en unos patines nuevos¿cual es el derecho y el izquierdo

i saw your toe stops come in CLUTCH so many times without u realizing it... LOL

love those skates tho ;-;

We have the same roller skate

wtf your day 1 is better than my day 30 :(

Where’d you get your tights and shorts?

Did you get any whiplash from the falls?.. I know I did once and man that hurt for days

Girl you moonwalked straight out the womb with skates on lol

The music is so much louder than the narration 😅 But the progress is inspiring!!

im amazed youre able to MOVE on the first day, damn

Thank you for wearing a helmet, the amount of people showing begginner stuff that say "you should wear a helmet but i dont" makes me be like do i need a helmet? But yes... yes you do lol

2:18 8:38 HAHAHA. I'm making myself feel better coz earlier to today, I'm practicing RB and I fall like that and till now my butt hurts. HAHAHA. But, seeing you fall the same way I fall, I'm alrdy fine. HAHAHA. Kidding. My butt still hurts.

Did you loosen your wheels and truck..? Need help..!

My cousin was really good at skates,she was skating And fell on her butt and it was really bad she had to get nails or something in/on her butt

you are crazy cute and have a terrific personality (ooh ya, and you are very fit). nice work and nice video! :)

Day 3 u did a cartwheel.

I learned how to roller skates in a day😭✋

if you can low down your music not stop the music at all while you speak, thats gonna be good video also increase a little bit of your voice db in post.

You were able to stand on day 1??? I can't even understand how.

Did you skate every day? Also, did knowing gymnastics help you learn faster do you think?

I have butt/hip/tailbone pads that fit like boy shorts. One of the BEST investments I've made. I've screwed up my tailbone the most, but it's nothing with the pads.

Holy carp it’s only been 2 days and the wheels are already dirty

That fall made my butt hurt

Me 2 crossover backwards skate

Don’t you need a thing for the elbows

I went directly from day 1 to 30

Were you a cheerleader or in gymnastics or something?

You didn't do bad

Wait. What is on the hangers behind her on opening scene? That was a lot of?……

How the heck was cartwheels on day 3! Lol

You need different skates. Moxi lolly or moonlight... anything leather with an adjustable toe stop. You can’t switch out your toe stop into something adjustable with those skates and you’ll be fighting the fake leather to skate dance in. You can’t skate dance in anything with that much ankle support because it holds you back. Trust me you’ll get twice as good literally overnight once you’re in skates that aren’t essentially a fad/toy skate. Can’t wait to see you nailing those toe stop stalls in some real skates, girl!

There is NO way on day 3 you’re doing cartwheels. Or even crossover steps. I rebuke this 😂

Sk8r girls r hotter!

forget the progress, girl, what is on those hangers behind you?

Impressive but sooooo unrealistic for most beginners

???? Did you teach yourself how to skate

Not a beginner

Wow . Do u gotta only fans 🥰 if ur 18 🤔 if not u should I'll buy it.

You lied because you never failed. since first day you failed many times.

A tip is look on youtube for tips you can learn so much there ligit everything about rollerskating!💕💞💖💗🛼🛼🛼🛼

You have muscles in your legs I didn’t know existed and I feel… envy.
