@eveelima1 2 года назад

Thank you for this video! I just tried skating outside for the first time and it was a nightmare. I got myself in an unexpected hill and I thought the only way to go downhill was backwards but there was no way I was trying that. I just went forward, gained a lot of speed, got desperate because there were cars passing at the end of the hill and then fell big time haha Had to crawl the rest of the way like a fool.

@Skatie 2 года назад

Oh no. That sounds very traumatic. Hope you’re ok and the video has helped with some techniques for next time. 🛼

@ashleykbarks 2 года назад

It's the same in the reverse. If you are more used to outdoor skating, indoor skating feels like you're floating on air and you feel less connected. I have a hard time gauging my abilities indoors.

this is helpful - I remember when I outdoor skated at piedmont park, I did exactly that when going down this very steep hill - the curving - it just seemed logical to me then; but there were a few times where I wound up going too fast for my comfort zone and I "ran aground" onto the grass lol! Thank you for these tips - they ARE good and VERY helpful.

Yes, they absolutely can. You just might need to change the wheels to suit the different surfaces.

@lovingfloyd Год назад

Skating outside is like a punch in the gut after skating indoors LOL. Question for @skatie - my skates have 85A wheels, which were described as hybrid and fine for outside, but I can definitely feel every slight variation in the surface - making me very wobbly - and pebbles take me down. Basically, I feel like I can't skate at all 😞 In your experience, could I get used to 85A outside relatively (I know it will vary by person, but just on average) quickly, or would a gummier wheel be better when outside since I'm still a beginner?

@Skatie Год назад

I roll on a 84a outside but not all wheels are created equal. My 84a’s are big, 65mm (Roll-Line Helium) the size helps to absorb the vibration and bump over debris. If you’re rolling a small wheel 57mm for example you’ll lose a lot of that shock absorbing power.

@juanab8000 2 года назад

Katie where do you buy your skate wheels? I have not been able to find anything softer than 78a.

@Skatie 2 года назад

78A seems to be the general industry standard for outside wheels. I have lots of random wheels accrued over time so some are more unusual and no longer available unfortunately.

I've been checking my local park, just when i thought i found a good spot to try skating, i realise it's really uneven, in fact the only smooth place is the skate park, and i'm just learning to skate. Had to go and get soft wheels for my skates, oh well

@Skatie 2 года назад

Finding a good spot outside can be so tricky. Do you have any cycle paths where you are? I’m in the UK and cycle paths here tend to be quite new so nice smooth tarmac.

@ASMRTingledPink 11 месяцев назад

I am having a hard time getting past the fear of skating on a really rough outdoor surface. I have 78a's, but when I tried to skate on rough concrete, I felt like I was going to fall. I found a smoother concrete space, but it's very narrow. So all I can really do is skate forward. I haven't advanced to backwards skating yet. But I noticed today that the 78a's seemed to want to catch a bit on that smoother concrete. So I plan on trying some 82a's tomorrow. Does that sound like it may help? Or should I stick with the 78's?

@Skatie 10 месяцев назад

It could be the size of wheel that will make more of a difference. For outside a big wheels 60-65mm will help to roller over those rougher surfaces.

@ASMRTingledPink 10 месяцев назад

@@Skatie my 78a wheels are 60mm, but I have a feeling it's more me that's the problem than the wheels. I don't think I'm balanced properly or something. I feel very awkward and unstable.

@crabsareprettyneat5772 Год назад

i just got my first skates and the wheels are 85 on the durometer. im trying to skate on an old basketball court but i still feel like its too rickety. should i save up for soft wheels or is it just up to balance? (i started skating 3 days ago, i can only go forward and do basic bubbles) thanks :)

@Skatie Год назад

If the surface is old it might just be quite rough. Perhaps a softer wheel might help 78a but it could be that it’s maybe just too bumpy as going to a 78 won’t make that much difference. If the wheel is small that can make a difference too, bigger wheels can cope with the lumps and bumps better 60-65mm

@annavanderwal990 2 года назад

I learned it indoors on weels from 78 i want it softer for outside but i don’t feel differens because i learned it inside on soft weels what should i do? Buy even softer weels?

@Skatie 2 года назад

I think you’d struggle to get much softer than a 78. You’re on to a winner. Just need the one set! 😉

Wheels sometimes have some numbers around the edge or you may be able to check the shop listing. What skates do you have I may be able to find out for you.

@unicornyep4932 2 месяца назад

My wheel has a little hole in it from I think running over a small stone or something similar but I can't feel it when I'm skating... is it a problem

@Skatie 2 месяца назад

That shouldn’t be a problem unless the wheel looks like it is starting to crack. But it’s not unusual to get little marks and chips from outside skating.

@andreeaArt_ Год назад

Hello! My rollerskates are Fila with 54 mm diameter wheels and 80A durity. Also, they have Abec5 bearings. When I try to roll on rough surfaces, I tend to fall or to go unsmoothly, quite visibly. How can I fix this once and for all? Thanks in advance!

@Skatie Год назад

The wheels you describe are ok at an 80a but they sound quite small for outside. A bigger wheel is better outside 60-65mm.

@andreeaArt_ Год назад

@@Skatie thank you ❤️

@andreeaArt_ Год назад

@@Skatie also, are there any disatvantages to artistic rollerskating on my specific rollerskates? I can do turns quite well

@elvinmay54 2 года назад

What brand are your soft wheels?

@Skatie 2 года назад

These are really old wheels from the 90s but I’d recommend Roll-line Helium wheels, Airwaves, or Radar Energy for outside skating. For outside, look between 78a to 85a and ideally a larger wheel between 60 - 65mm.

@justinetaypin1449 Год назад

Is okay 82a wheels in outdoor?

@Skatie Год назад

Yup. I wear an 84a outside. I’m prefer a slightly harder wheel as you have more roll than a 78a

@-ALEXES- Год назад

Where or the soft wheels from?

@Skatie Год назад

I have a Webaite with wheels recommendations, for outside skate ideally you need between 78a and around 83a for a comfortable ride. Bigger is better too so 65mm - 60mm

@Skatie 2 года назад

Hills and stones are a skaters nemesis! Those hills can really catch a skater out. Bend your knees so you’re super close to the ground already. That way If it goes wrong you can bail to your knee pads.

This is similar to ice skating outdoors because the ice quality is worse and you need a different kind of sharpening for your skate blades!

@@Skatie it is! I have ice skated on outdoor ice and noticed that its quality is much worse than indoor ice due to unpredictable weather.

@SkateFetish 2 года назад

You are showing a stagger stance with your skates TOUCHING, which is going to lead to bad habits with new skaters. This is dangerous in the case that you hit a rock or crack, BOTH of your feet will land your face down on the ground. Also, don't skate outdoors without safety gear, no matter your experience level. Two experienced skaters already died this year from head injuries.

@Skatie 2 года назад

Thank you for your feedback. I’ve rewatched the clip and I can see how this could be incorrectly interpreted. As I was skating outside my wheels kept rolling so I placed the toe-stop of the back skate on the wheel in front to stop the roll. I agree this is not the best demo for a beginner. I’ve removed that part of the video. Thank you, I always appreciated feedback. And yes, Sorry *hangs head in shame*. I totally agree. I should wear my helmet as an example. I have been wearing it more in recent videos, I promise to wear it.
