Hi Katie, You do such a great job of breaking things into increments! I’ve encountered numerous teaching pros in various sports who just don’t get the importance of it. Something I would love to see from you is how to improve on one foot. I continue to struggle with it, and I would love to hear cues about where the weight should be, how to correct for over pronation, etc. please consider!! 😊❤
OMG! You have the best tutorials for moves that help improve skating! This is exactly what I need (specifically for one-footed turns). I already know this is going to help so much and can't wait to try it 😊
I got my roller skates last week but, unfortunately i wasn’t in my country so i couldn’t try them out. I have experience in skating… with roller blades so i was used to keep my balance not in front but on the back because that’s where my stopper was and yesterday I went with my parents out to try my roller skates on but i forgot what i did with my safety gear… gotta say, everything was fine until i started to think about balance and i fell and i scared my parents and now my knees hurt👍
Hi Skatie. I'm a beginner and desperate to learn so I find your (I've watched others buy you're my favorite haha) videos addicting. My problem is I've been watching your videos randomly (of course I don't skip ads) but I think I need to watch it in the right sequence and I have no idea how to do that like where to start then move on to the next. Any help will do. Thanks.
Yes definitely. It’s incredibly similar. Have you checked out the c step video? I have a few exercises in there to work up to the c step. It’s a tricky one.
@@Skatie Yes, I've watched that video and it's also really helpful! My update is that after working on the scoot I feel my C-step has improved. I'm not there yet, but at least it's given me the confidence to pick up my foot at the end.
Thank you for amazing break down of skating… I skate occasionally… getting back into it cause I just love it… my question… how do I determine what size skates I should wear? I bought some cause the site I bought off of said the size shoe I wear… them seem very Roomie.. is that common?
Skate size is so hard. Did you draw around your foot? That’s the most accurate way but even then it’s so much more about whether the skate just generally suits your foot. Trying lots on is always the answer but I know it can be hard if you don’t have a skate shop locally. Some do offer distance fitting.
@@Skatie thank you… no I didn’t draw around my foot. I will now.. where I am at (Texas). Skating isn’t that popular as it used to be… Thank you for your help.
Skatie you are so so good at this! It looks so graceful! I got roller skates for Christmas and I am now good on them. I really love how you explain how to do these tricks! I was wondering, and I don’t know if this is just in ice skating, but can you do an axel?
Thank you. You need a little slip in your wheels to get the scoot action. You’ll have to lift your wheels more to get the turn. It may make it a little harder.
Hi Katie, just wanted to pop on here and say thank you for these videos. I’m new to skating (not counting the skating rink birthday parties when I was 10 and under) and these videos are so helpful, breaking down the moves with progressions. I really appreciate the time and effort you put into these ❤️ It’s making my skating journey easier and more fun. I love going skaties!!
Oh wow, thank you so much for the Super Thanks. Our RU-vid app doesn’t alert me so I often don’t see them for ages. Thank you so much for supporting the channel, we really appreciate it. xx ⭐️⭐️⭐️
i have an issue -after i skate for a few minutes i feel some strange pain in my soles and heaviness in my ankles and i have to stop. skates fit me well and are comfortable - any advice?
If you’re a new skater it could be that you need to build muscle strength. Maybe an insole would help. Some skates do come with very thin soles and I know lots of skaters who add an extra insole for comfort.
