    Roller Skating defined my youth...as a youngster in the 6th grade everyone that was cool was at the local rink. I was afraid of what others would say about me because I didn't know how to skate. Took the plunge, over the weeks and months until I mastered the art. 1 year later at the local rink I got a job there and before I knew it I was teaching lessons and on the local Roller Hockey Team. That was in the early 1970's and I've been skating ever since. 65 in 2022 and still two-stepping. Never to young or to old.
    Great Video.

      Yes. It is true. If you ask me for my sources well, there is no one source to verify anything these days. Sources are for simple facts. Intellectual knowledge comes from reading different theories, using deductive logic, seeing different experiments used in social settings and coming to your own conclusions however, the testers never reveal how they draw upon their own conclusions. Know this, our military has technology 10 years ahead of civilians. We are not equal to our military in knowledge amd resources. If you have your own realistic conclusion I would love to hear it. Until then, try to outsmart my theory and see if you have a different result.

    Chin up, shoulders straight, stomach core tight, arms out, palms down, drop your hips and bend your knees. Transfer body weight from left to right side to side, feet in a V-position. Practice, practice consistently. Do not look down! (I tend to do that when skating backwards).

    My friends at the rink asked me how I learned so fast and I just told them "High beams on, snack zone in, fun zone out" (I'm sure I'm misquoting Debbie a bit, but I got the gist!)

Just focus on balance and not rolling at all. Then ... get on the ground and practice getting up. Over and over till it becomes second nature.

      Lol! Yeah I have to go to my Bffs party and it’s a rollerskating party! I have no clue how to skate!!! So I look up at some videos! I feel like I’m the only one who doesn’t know how to skate, but Im pretty sure I’m not the only one though!

      @@khairirodriguez5428 You are in good company! Have fun. Keep hips low, knee flexible and chin up. If you fall, get up right away and laugh a lot!

    I can skate... as in I can move around the rink on my own. I do however look like a disabled flamingo and have fallen a few times. I want to actually be able to skate without constantly feeling like I’m going to wipe out 😂

    I got invited to skate and had fun even though it was my first time and I kept falling every time. My girlfriend bought me a pair of roller skates and I am glad that this video exists so I can learn how to do it properly. Thank you for this. ☺️

    I haven’t skated in 34 years. This was a great reminder of what my body needs to do. Thanks! You are a great teacher.

    Thank you so much❤. I am 50 years old and haven’t skated since the early 90s. Your video has given me hope since I just purchased a pair of skates to enjoy with my grad kids.

    Just purchased my 1st ever pair of skates. Currently in my living room with these new skates on trying to practise lol. This lady is VERY good at teaching, very clear instructions and I feel I am learning quick through the teachings of this lady - so thank you very much. And good luck and happy skating to any new beginner skaters out there :)

    I just want to thank you, your great. I am a 3x cancer survivor, who hasn’t been on skates in 45 years lol, thought my body would just remember, ahh nope 🤣 So I am watching this vid, and it showed me what I had right and what I had wrong, my ortho doc thinks I’m crazy, but I have always loved skating. I am literally doing this to save my own life, so thank. you for doing what you do, just remember you never know who your positive vids are reaching.
