Another tip for learning to jump (while rolling): even if you are trying to jump over something (a line/cone/etc), do not try to jump FORWARDS, just go UP! your rolling momentum will continue and you will travel forwards! However, if you try to jump forwards as you might while not skating, especially when you are beginning, you are likely to overbalance and fall! If you need to go further, you either need to jump higher/lift your legs more (increase your time in the air) or skate faster (increase your forward speed before you jump). This is, admittedly, coming from a derby skater, not an artistic skater, but one who has learnt the hard way (and artistic skaters don't tend to wear the thick kneepads we do!) Also, if you feel unsteady, bend! Soften that landing and bend your knees! Don't land stiff or you'll unbalance!
Great advice. My coach always told me think of going up not round. The higher you go the more time you have in the air to execute the skill. Brilliant. Thank you x
Well, Derby Rolling and Artistic Rolling are two different things. I like Skaties style and format of skating. I was able to learn more tricks, gain more fluidity and gain more confidence in my overall technique. She talks in a way that isn't making anyone feel "small" but rather in a way that boosts confidence, self-esteem and makes you feel like you're learning. I am going to be sticking to Skaties style instead.
Im so happy i found out about artistic roller skating. I wanted to learn figure skating, but i cant afford to go to an ice rink, and i dont wven know of any ice rinks near me. I plan on getting roller skates next month or the month after! Cant wait!!
These are great videos!! Thank you so much for doing these. I understand how time consuming making these videos can be. I run West Lothian Artistic Roller Skating Club in Scotland. We don't have easy access to fars coaches or judges so this is a great point of reference. I'll be sharing this with the club for sure!!!👏👏👏🥳
I have been looking for a skating “order of operations” type video or curriculum for the longest time. This made me so happy. Because as someone who’s past the very beginner stage but not quite at the intermediate yet, I felt I was stuck and not making progress. This gives me direction and a good set of skills to master before I start trying tricks. 🥹🫶🏼 Thank you Skatie!! I’m so excited to get out and practice! It’s also worth mentioning that I probably would not have been able to translate all of the directions on the form, so im super grateful for the visuals 😅💕🎉
I really love your videos and appreciate them so much, wish more people could've seen your videos and work for people who want to learn roller skating!!!
Thank you. These are so snuggly. They’re ice skating tights so they’re fleece inside. I got these on eBay. Search up ice skating practice wear and you should find them.
This is getting shown to my daughter as skating homework ❤ Ill do them with her though... She has had her skates since earily Aug and trompimg on the carpet is still her idea of skateing and i try to get her to stop thinking their just shoes with wheels as lifts and get her head around useing the wheels too... Some structure could be good for her as im just not that good at teaching her to do stuff like this as i may need the stucture aswell to keep things simple as i was already doing really well at her age and i had no one to teach me. I just knew that skateing was all about rolling on them way younger than she is now from the get go and was street skating at 4. i think she thinks they are high heels at the age of 7.
@@Skatie okay, now they show up in my recommended videos! Thanks for sharing. I am working on the level 2 and 3, since I'm still new at this, but I am excited to see what I am working towards!
