LEARNING TO ROLLER SKATE IN 5 DAYS 

This is inspirational! “Don’t not skate just because you’re scared to fall, keep persevering!”

Where are people buying skates like... They’re sold out everywhere

Watching roller skating videos make me more excited for my skates. Also loving the content

Then there's me: wanting skates and ready to go outside on the first day and not having fears then realizing u arnt just gonna be a goddess at first hjdndbxhchbebdo

I agree the fear of falling really holds me back sometimes but it’s not even THAT bad hahah. I’ve only fallen twice in 2 weeks I’m shook lmaooooo

Hello. You're doing great. Don't be too tough on yourself, or push yourself too much. Couple of points - I e been roller skating for 20 years. Rolling down a hill going forwards still terrifies me. I'll only ever do it backwards, as your stoppers are much more effective. Point 2: don't be frightened of falling. More portantly, if you're going to fall, BEND YOUR KNEES. you'll hurt yourself a lot less. Good luck!

I just did it for the first time last night after having my skates for a year ( got them last Christmas ) I have a concrete backyard that is really smooth. My nosy ass neighbor finally moved last night lol.

after buying my skates and only doing minimal practice indoors while I wait for my protective gear, I woke up this morning ready to just quit skating because I was discouraged at the rate I was improving.... After watching this video, it re-ignited that spark & made me excited and ready to learn again! thank you for your inspirational words :)

i have fallen on my butt so many times and lost balance in front of my house 😭 dhdhsja thank u for that quote at that end

"trying to go over a big ass crack" me: eh heh h e h 👉👈 im literally so immature

I’ve been trying to get roller skates and they’ve been sold out for weeks lol

I've skated for a very long time..and still everytime I say a prayers for my body and to be present on my skates and for me to have balance and if I fall to protect my body...I still get nervous too...I am also 40 yrs old! You got this girl..you're doing great!

Don't forget when your legs are going out on the bubbles to bend your knees and straighten back up as you bring your feet back together!

Watching roller skating videos make me more excited for my skates. I have never felt more eager to skate before. you addressed me into roller skating so thank you and love the skates

I tried roller skating and I loved it thank you for encouraging me!!🥺

girl it took me a WEEK to learn just how to move ahahah😂

When you were talking about not being able to jump off the skates like you can a board-Omg that scared me

Assistir isso me deixou tão animada, sério! Me achava velha demais pra andar de patins (tenho vinte agora e nunca tentei antes), mas vídeos como esses me fazem perceber o quão divertido e bom isso pode ser. Estou economizando dinheiro pra comprar os meus... são um pouco caros aqui no Brasil, mas tudo bem :)) Continue gravando, tá inspirando muita gente por aí 💕

Thank you for this video! I just started skating and have been so embarrassed to go out looking like a "beginner," but everyone starts somewhere!

Great job moon walking!! I love that your dad is with you on your first day outside skating so wholesome!❤

before backwards skating try to skate with blades and then once you can skate with blades do the same thing as blades but on quads after you learn backwards work on spinning try putting a foot up and turning and then try jumping jumping is very easy to practice balance put your arms behind your back then you can try a iceburg were you go side ways i dont know how to do it on blades but on quads put your feet side ways and turn and try not to kick and id put my feet closer so you look more smooth so you dont fall i just told you how to be a pro and do expect to learn this in a few days it took me year to be able to do most of this stuff so thats just to clear it up and make sure to be careful

I felt the same way! Everything I’d go back out to skate I’d feel like I knew nothing and was super uncomfortable but you’ll get past it!

I've just started at 42 and yesterday I had my confidence knocked by someone saying I should act my age and give up. I just wanted to say your video and your honesty about feeling nervous has really helped me and I'm going to get back out on my skates ASAP and keep learning 😊

Im a figure skater but the basics are the same, BEND your knees. Even if you think you're bending them, bend them more, especially when you're just stroking and doing "bubbles" aka swizzles. It really makes you have more control and it will strengthen your legs. I ordered special inline skates meant for figure skaters and im sooo excited

Girl, I saw those Hawkeye sweats and got excited lol! I'm in cedar rapids and anxiously awaiting mine to come in the mail. Like I just placd the order yesterday, I need some damn chill

i have been rollerblading or 11 years (i started when i was four) its like walking to me. i think i actually am better on wheels than i am just walking. yesterday i bought my first pair of quads and they're the same as yours in the video. its weird being a "beginner" again. i mean i have a massive advantage to people just starting out for the first time but its still different and im not fully confident on them yet. i bought them to do outdoor and omg it is so much more fun on quads. im so excited to get better!

I have a walker from previous surgeries that I used just to get comfortable I could hold on for balance. I only need when I’m going from inside my house to outside bc there’s a slant , step and brick walkway outside. I wear my skates about 18 hours a day. I have my husband and mother use a walker. I have a movement disorder, epilepsy, fused ankles, neck, and 19 surgeries so far. But I used to skate and dance and do sports. But skating gave me freedom from my body and conditions I’ve had 6 years, still need cane to walk, can’t walk more than 300ft. But I skated 13 miles one day. It’s amazing that freedom. Unfortunately skates come off I still can’t walk well. But I can spin, balance on one leg, go sideways, backwards. I’m totally with u” everyone should buy roller skates and life is better and happy “ it’s amazing feeling. I’m glad someone else knows that feeling of freedom. And falling.. I fell once over a pebble at night. It happens so fast I landed on my knees said wow that didn’t hurt got up kept going. Very different than when I have a seizure and I don’t have control of how I fall. Love ur videos

This gives me hope. Last year I quit skating because I busted my front tooth in half. I just got a new pair of skates and I’m nervous but excited to get back into it

pls pls make more skating videos theyre so relatable and motivating to keep skating. ive stopped for awhile because of fear but i encountered this video again and kinda wanna try again

I’m 27 and I just got my skates. I immediately fell twice on my butt. My waist beads snapped and beads went everywhere! I couldn’t help but die laughing at myself. I’m still so excited to get it down! It’s so fun!

my skates will come in tomorrow and then I'll start learning! thank you for sharing your journey. it's so inspiring! ^.^

I’m on day 2 of relearning how to skate. I haven’t skated in over 25 years. I didn’t check my equipment before I went out and my top stop just fell off. Needless to say I. Rashes and scuffed my brand new boot :/. This has been fun to watch your journey

I bought my first pair of adult roller skates. I'm 31 and had a baby 6 months ago! I LOVE it. Even though I broke my ass bone on my first outing 😂 back at it a few days later when I no longer had to sit on a donut! Xx

this is the most wholesome progress video ever i love it ty

You're the best like Mulan...ready to get it on. I just got skates and I can't wait= all skate!

please do more skating videos! you’ve inspired me to buy my first pair of skates 🤍

Well done you... and for embracing your vulnerability as you learn, you are going to be amazing!!!!!

This is just making me more excited for my pre-ordered skates to ship! For your outdoor skating it looks like you might want softer wheels than what you have

roller skating sure isn’t a walk in the park, but you did really good persevering!

Meu Deus, esse vídeo é simplesmente perfeito!

well done with your progress! you should watch the MOXI ROLLER SKATES videos, those girls have some great tutorials. also in your day one clips your knee pads were upside down. i couldnt tell if you turned them up the other way after tho. keep going girl!!

I had to learn to inline skate in like 2 hrs. Well, it was skate or hit the pavement in front of the derby girls and thousands of people watching since I was in a parade. So yeah, forced to learn in record time. lol I could (kind of) skate on quads so that helped but not much. I can do both now but I'm glad I stuck to inlines as there so many more options for wheels. I've skated pavement on 125s that would be near impossible for quads. I've been skating for 5 yrs now and love every second of it!

I just got skates today and almost broke my leg😂😂😭

I’m getting roller skates today!! Thank you for this video, it helps a lot!

Ok but, I love your parent’s cameos in this, so sweet!

I'm 20 and learning how to roller skate. I keep falling but it feels good to get back up and keep trying. 😁

✨i love those skates ✨

I’ve never skated on my life or even owned any anybody have any tips on how to learn and buy skates bc I don’t know where 🥺👉👈

i wanna learn how to skate and i just convinced my latin mom after like 30 tries and 4 throwing pillows at me and she finally said fine and i’m getting white and pink roller skaters and i’m so excited because my school every friday pays for all the students to go and skate for free and i’m so excited! :)

LOVE this! you are so cute, I just bought my skates and have practiced in my garage as well. It's definitely a terrifying feeling, but watching you inspired me to keep on trying!

I’m excited about your journey. Can’t wait to get my skates.

I'm also 21 and just learning to roller skate! You're doing great!

I would class myself as a pretty good skater. And I think you have taken to this so well!! Your technique is really good and your starting to push yourself with different skills. A big welldone!! Keep going and inspiring yourself with accomplished skaters :) x

I first started skating when I went to world on wheel before Covid I was like 10 and I’m gonna turn 13 soon and finally just got my own pair of skates I don’t fall a lot anymore I’m starting to learn how to do some tricks and it is infact very addictive.

Thank you for sharing. I'm in my fifties trying to learn all over again. I've skating a little, mostly inside. I need to purchase Knee Pads/Helmet before venturing outside. You're doing great.🌹so inspirational💕

I’m so exited for my skates to come!! I’ve ordered my first ever pair

I recommend getting different toe stops that are higher for the moonwalk once impala skates have lower toe stops which is great especially when beginning. If also recommend getting toe guards to reduce scuffing on ya skates 😁

Im 25 and also learning, it's never to late to start learning. ☺️

I LOVE the colour of those roller skates

Epic video! Love seeing you padding up before you get ready, only thing I would do is stretch a little before every session! Great progression!

Very brave of you in many ways to post this, I am 66 and will go buy some skates. Thanks.

Yes! Iowa Hawkeyes! UIOWA alumnus here baby! lol I just bought some skates... am also learning right now. Good luck!

You’re so encouraging! I just ordered a pair of skates and I’m so excited for them to finally arrive. Thanks for the advice.🥰

I love skating. I really like ur yellow shirt of day three!

Girl SAME, I definitely need to get some toe guards but I really don’t like how they look 😂 I haven’t seen any yet where I’ve gone ‘wow I want those’ - you’re doing such a good job!

I got my Moxi roller skates almost a year ago and still haven’t learned how to skate 🥺. Summer vacation is two weeks away for me so I want to get back to learning once I get the safety gear

This is cool, but just sum advice if you want to skate easier on outdoor surfaces you should totally get softer or hybrid wheels, it absorbs the shock muuuuch better, youll notice a huge difference in control and stability : )

Literally me 💯! I’m in my 20’s and I’m just now learning how to rollerblade. Love this vid! 💕

We stan a Bilingual Roller Skating Queen ⭐✌

Just got back on mine after 20 years I’m loving it

Ame mil el “ay casi me muero” 🥺💖

When I roller skate I go to west lake(That's what its callcalThey got a thing that helps you skate I use it for ten minutes and get use to it and after like ten minutes I can skate

I don't want people to know how much I love skating, bc they think of me being a kid. Like heelys TvT but I ordered Inline Skates and waiting for it a week!

You are so cute! I love the skate community and I think you’re doing great! I still get so nervous but I’m practicing every day (:

I did skate as a kid.. now i feel like im too old to skate.. but i do still wana do it again for fun 😊🤗

aww you are so sweet and cute, this inspires me to start learning to roller skate again because i do love roller skating so much it's a passion of mine and yh this has really inspired me now to get back out there and become a great skater again lol

Here some hints for newby's 1)If u about to fall, fall controllable, dont fight gravity any cost with no skill, and then falls dangerously. 2)Lower you ride = more controll u gain, and lower the height you fall. Have bad feelengs? - go lower, also bend knees always. no stright legs. 3)Learn skills step by step. Find a quality source of step-by-step video lessons /channel/UCjhfnuASwi9OIFTEtxKfkuw Probably best, use subtitles if need.

*_CRITICAL ADVICE! _* Stagger your feet (one ahead of the other as opposed to side-by-side) when skating outside. If two feet are next to each-other and you hit an obstacle the rest of your body will still be moving forwards and it leads to falling. Staggered feet -> more stability.

I love the yellow! But my first pair/s are gonna be white or black so I can outfit match easily 😬

You inspire me to try and now I’m saving money to buy roller skates ❤️

definitely try getting some toe guards! white or black would look good! these will protect the tips and the stitches of your skates!

This makes me sooo excited for my skates to come next week!

Tbh for the past few days I haven't really felt any physical pain but I also for some reason got hit a lot this week like on accident ofc.but I also feel like falling isn't Really that painful My roller skates are coming in 5-7 weeks time!!

i don't think i've ever witnessed a clean garage, congrats to your parents!! lol

I’m not scared of falling I’m scared people from my school are gonna see me and laugh 😭

hearing ur mom laughing and clapping is so cute omg

your third day you went outside when i started on the rode ,but i don’t care really good video i really like it

better than i did on my first day.... i got so many bruises. it been a year and a half and now I'm pretty good.

can you do how to rollerblade? I'm really having trouble and it would be helpful to see someone actually try it from the beginning instead of already being a pro

This is just like me. I was so confident day 1/2/3 on day 4 I fell and hurt me tail bone. But still got on. Now my confidence has dropped so much I’m struggling to even move. Urgh.

I learnt how to skate in an hour when I was five and I’ve been rollerskating ever since

You're making good progress. I'd suggest a proper roller skate helmet as that bike helmet won't protect you if you fall backwards. A lot of people tend to fall backwards trying to stabilize their balance, a roller skate helmet covers the base of your skull for such a fall. Toe guards are a must to protect your skates, get either full grain leather as they're more durable and come in many colors and patterns, sure grip also has a heat moldable plastic toe guard called the toe jammer. Also, maybe upgrade your laces to waxed laces, they're stronger.

Love the neon colour so much...what brand are they

I cried while watching this 😭😭😭 I've always wanted to learn how to skate since 5th grade I'm 21 now and still haven't 😭😭😭maybe someday I will 😭😭😭❤

Great video! Which skates/boots/toe stops are those? They look pretty comfy..

Girl your not the only one

Ihabe skated for years with my glasses on and ive been fine. The most ive done when i fell was not be able to walk on my leg for about three days.

i bought skates and they are coming tomorrow and i cant wait

You go girl! ✌🏼

Its not the wheels that make you turn, its the trucks. Try loosing them a little bit. You can turn by putting more weight on one foot or but turning them
