I hope you enjoy seeing my month of roller skating every day! I plan on continuing to document my progress, so grab a pair of skates, subscribe and follow along!

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.
This is so true🙌. This video is a highlight reel of my first 30 days! If you watch my other vlogs, you will see the lows too! The days where I just fell and fell and crashed every single time I tried things (...marilyn stall ugh haha). I have videos where I am frustrated and scared or where it it too cold to be outside. I hope this video serves as inspiration for you to get out there and skate and move and have fun ♥️
So glad you said that!! There is no way people are documenting their 1st day, standing, moving & not event wobbling!! I'm like a jelly baby after 2 weeks & not many places mention adjusting skates at the beginning
Absolutely true🤭😁 I just got skates for the first time since being 10 years old and to tell you just standing in them on day 1 was an effort in itself 🤣 And then it gets better....and then there are days when IT'S HORRIBLE. Just keep going...that's what I tell myself 🙌🙌
Thank you so much for commenting this.. 👌 You’re absolutely richt..
Yess! And also I noticed that if I learn things too quick, like It would be sad that I don’t need to practice things anymore since I already know it..unlike if you learn slow, you’ll enjoy the times of learning and practicing u know!? So sorry for my English I’m not that fluent and I’m not good at explaining HAHA!
a gymnastic background is definitely an advantage. Yours is quite obvious.
Thanks! The strength and flexibility from those years help with most sports!
It’s really not I was a gymnast and I have had to advantage what so ever, completely different concept.
@@rhiannonmorrell5487 Ok, but as an athlete you are in touch with your body and movement in general, balance etc. So that's what I thought was an advantage.
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
I'll have to work on that! Thanks 🙌
the determination? the confidence?! the cute fits?!? this video is super fun and inspirational !!
Aw thank you so much! ☺️ I'm so glad you enjoyed it!! ♥️
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!
I’m so glad you are giving it another shot❤️❤️❤️you got this!! I am proud of you!!!
You made so much progress in such little time! That's amazing!
Thank you so much!😊
I hope i even do half as well my skates already on way and finding your 30 progress sets a high bench mark.
Very awesome
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
Preach. I've gone skating like 5 times (always like 1.5hr) and practiced at home a bit and every time I step out my legs are *shaking*. I don't have issues with balance, bubbles forward and backwards, and I can do plow stop (and I've tried the toe stop at like the slowest speed) but it's not like I need it as much because every time I pick up any speed whatsoever I *freak* out and stop immediately 😅I think about every little pebble and twig on the street but I don't even fall, I don't even come close to falling that often. I think my only barrier is in my head! The speed is scary! But hey, it's fun, so let's keep going at our own pace!
@@napoleonsissy6164 exactly, even though it is super scary it is so much fun!
I went down a very small downhill ish road a week ago and freaked out over the speed and fell straight down on my tailbone and its still hurts super bad haha. But, I hahe figured out drinking a beer or two before going skating really helps me not being scared to fall. So if im skating in the evenings, I drink a small beer beforehand haha.
I have barely started skating backwards but rocks and twigs makes me scared..
You guys have totally got this! I believe in you!! It gets easier! 🙌
Totally! The mind limits us so bad... The fear! When I realized that learning to skate was also teaching me confidence and how to cope with fear I loved it and embraced it even more! :D @@napoleonsissy6164
@@emilieelstad6230 even the tiniest slope freaks me out terribly! anything that projects the faintest shadow on the pavement is super scary. Too bad it's too dark to skate outside when I'm in the mood for a glass of wine... A smallish dose of alcohol does sound like a really effective technique enhancer ;) While bike touring once someone told me that a beer at the end of the day was also a great muscle relaxant! Oh! And sometimes when I'm recording something I put more effort into it and care less about being afraid and that alone prevents me from falling! :)
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
hello my rolers arrive today and im gonna start you are an inspiration !! :)
yay!! I'm so Excited for you!!😊🙌
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!
Thanks! You've got this!😊🙌
ive been skating for around 4 years, and still can barely do a 360 lol
360 jump. i can do it its just extremely scary for me lol
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
I’m so jealous of any roller skaters with a background in gymnastics 😩😩😩
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 💖
Aw thank you so much!! ☺️🙌
Totally agree! Determination & Persistence. You're truly inspirational. Keep up the great work, Lindsey. Hope we can skate together someday either the street/the rink ^_< ... So many "Ah Ha...That's good one!" in one video. The joy it brought is contagious ... Thanks for reminding me of why I love roller skate in the first place ... Go Lindsey!
Loved this! You did so amazing and learned moves so fast! Go girl!
I literally love your personality and how you really debate out loud lol awesome job!
Yess we love to see the Triple 8 gear!!
LOVE ❤️ THE REALNESS...
GREAT JOB!!!
😊❤ thank you!
Thanks so much for sharing!
LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS! Welcome to the roller gang!
☺️🙌
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.
Congrats dear!! So inspiring
Thanks!! ☺️
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!!
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
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!
That sounds like a great way of adding extra fitness into your routine! Who knows, you might surprise yourself and learn faster than expected! You've got this!
@@lindseyskates Thank you!! That means a lot! :D I'm really stoked because I find myself on off days wanting to get a little more fitness in my routine and yeah who knows! Thanks for believing in me :3
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.
You would have so much fun!! 🙌
you are inspirational and you seem like a nice person too..
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
I’m so excited you’re going to try quad skating!! It’s really fun! I’m sure you’ll enjoy it!!
@@lindseyskates I just recieved my Moxi Lollys today, and I'm already skating around my house! ❤️ Thanks Lindsey, looking forward to your future videos 🤘🏾
This is so cute. Well done for your progress!
☺️ thanks!! So glad you enjoyed it!!
I’m gonna buy some roller skates
Tomorrow and I’m very excited to learn how to skate!
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
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!🤩
So glad you enjoyed it!! You're going to have so much fun with your skates too!! 🙌
@@lindseyskates 😚😚
Your clothes are so organized it's incredible
Thanks!! I love organizing! 🙌
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 😅
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.
Thank you so much! ooh You will have so much fun! I love the triple 8 gear because it makes me feel like a cute doll lolol, so yeah, you probably want to go with something darker. I kinda want to get some darker ones too so I can choose my look to suit how i'm feeling that day. but either way I highly recommend ordering them when you order the skates. I feel so much more confident with them on, I would be so scared of falling without them
@@lindseyskates I went on their site and saw the Lizzie Armanto helmet and I think I’m gonna snag that one with my skates, it’s darker but has a cute subtle graphic on one side!
I love roller 🤩
🙌☺️
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 :))
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!
Thank you so much! And I appreciate the tip on sound! Let me know if you have the same problem on my latest videos! I am so glad you are finding my videos helpful to your skating journey!!☺️
@@lindseyskates Thanks for your reply! ❤ Subscribed!
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
Same. You will get there. 3 months later, how are you going?
Thanks for the video ,
I am beginner, congratulations
Glad you enjoyed it!! ☺️
Day 3 and I started doing cartwheels..... Day 3...cartwheels? !!! 😂 You are crazy😆 love it 🙏😁 well done
roller skating and exhibitionism seem to go hand in hand on youtube
I’m confused, Please explain
Amazing how she learned to skate that well, that fast. That second big fall looked like a broken tailbone for sure. Glad she was 👍🏾
Hi! Where did you buy your protective gear set? It's really cute!
Thanks! I added amazon links for it to the description😊🙌
did u do anything to your roller boots by the way like loosen anything or change anything and this is amazing this video
If you check out some of my earlier videos, you can see all the changes I made, I made a bunch over time 🙌
I have those exact skates from Candy Girl!!!
Yesss!!! My first skates were great!! You're my pineapple skate twin now☺️
You had an amazing progress. Your gimnastic background really showed off
Thank you! ☺️
Is your tail bone okay from the ramp fall?
You at the skate park is litteraly me yesterday xD
Lolol 😃
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?
I'm so excited for you, you're going to have so much fun!! Thank you for letting me know! I wondered about that! I ordered a real mic, but it never really worked, so I resorted to headphones. If my channel gets monetized, that will be the first thing on my list! ... That and the rainbow riders that I want to try lol
@@lindseyskates That's great! You'll get monetized soon, I'm sure :)) Take care ❤
How are people this good so fast?? Lol im still practising standing and going forward a week or so later lol
Cómo sabes en unos patines nuevos¿cual es el derecho y el izquierdo
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.
Thank you so much for the help!! I actually ended up getting new skates with different toe stops and it helped a lot☺️🙌
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
Carpet must be so hard!! Try and find a place outside that has nice smooth concrete, like a tennis court or parking garage🙌
Ye I've started doing it outside you r sooo underated
Did you get any whiplash from the falls?.. I know I did once and man that hurt for days
I remember my head being ok but my butt and ego were definitely bruised lol
Can they be ridden on uneven pavement? Or is it only recommended to ride on a perfectly flat surface?
They absolutely can be! it’s just harder to do and learn
Your a natural
Thanks!
And very progressed
Where’d you get your tights and shorts?
So many different places, but I am working on making some with roller skates on them currently 🙌😊
Did you loosen your wheels and truck..? Need help..!
I am cry laughing at your wardrobe xD if it doesn't sum you right up tho hahaha
Haha yeah I have a very specific style 😅😂
We have the same roller skate
Skate twins!! 🙌
Did you skate every day? Also, did knowing gymnastics help you learn faster do you think?
love those skates tho ;-;
☺️🙌
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
Oh no! hope she is all healed now🤍
The music is so much louder than the narration 😅
But the progress is inspiring!!
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.
Lolol glad I could help 😂
Day 4
toe stop: „... it supposed to be a beginner move ...”
:-)
im amazed youre able to MOVE on the first day, damn
i saw your toe stops come in CLUTCH so many times without u realizing it... LOL
Don’t you need a thing for the elbows
You were able to stand on day 1??? I can't even understand how.
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
wtf your day 1 is better than my day 30 :(
Ohhh nooo I remember it felt so difficult to stay upright on day one
Girl you moonwalked straight out the womb with skates on lol
😆😂
Me 2 crossover backwards skate
☺️🙌
Im slowly gettin it
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 got a little risky with the gymnastics 😬 everything else was wobbly af though lol
Were you a cheerleader or in gymnastics or something?
You nailed it haha! I was a gymnast, and did a little cheer on the side
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.
Great tips! Thanks!
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.
I have wondered if they make something like that! I'll have to look into getting a pair!
i was looking into getting some but i’m overwhelmed by the choice… mind sharing the brand?
Wait. What is on the hangers behind her on opening scene? That was a lot of?……
Workout clothes! Sports bras on top, workout shorts on bottom
I learned how to roller skates in a day😭✋
That's awesome! Great job!!
@@lindseyskates thanks
You didn't do bad
I went directly from day 1 to 30
🙌
@@lindseyskates you did well, im learning too, 2 months yet, you pretty girl, skating even more 🤩🤤, keep your effort 💪
Holy carp it’s only been 2 days and the wheels are already dirty
😬
How the heck was cartwheels on day 3! Lol
Lol I got a little risky with that one!
@@lindseyskates no kidding!!!! I'm coming on year one and I still can't even transition properly! So kudos to you, my friend!
That fall made my butt hurt
Mine too 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!
I wondered about this!! And I am working on it! I definitely agree thank you for the skate suggestions, those ones are just so expensive! When I can afford them I will definitely get those 🙌☺️
@@lindseyskates buy them secondhand off OfferUp or Facebook Marketplace! That’s where I got mine :)
@@lindseyskates also the lolly is back ordered for like... years ATM so secondhand is the only way to get them soonish
Sk8r girls r hotter!
Impressive but sooooo unrealistic for most beginners
she is a gymnast so that's not her problem if she was learning a lot.
There is NO way on day 3 you’re doing cartwheels. Or even crossover steps. I rebuke this 😂
😅😆I did gymnastics, so cartwheels come naturally. Skating backwards on the other hand… that took me like a month to learn 😭
???? Did you teach yourself how to skate
Yeah! I was barely able to stay upright on day 1! I made a whole vid about skate progress!
forget the progress, girl, what is on those hangers behind you?
Lol I accidentally keep collecting sports bras and workout shorts
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.
🤨
🤨
What?
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.
