Great tips! What also helped me when coming back and learning the basics was having a p-rail in the basement and drilling stalls, especially during wintertime. If you haven't got a basement, any 1m rail you can bring out or any curb will do. Even when I wasn't really skating because of bad weather or time constraints, I was able to train my muscle memory.
Thanks Tim 😁 Definitely it's all about enjoying yourself at the end of the day. Although I will admit, sometimes I tolerate a less than fun process to get a trick landed because the reward at the end is worth it!
@@chrischadwick1 Thank you! 😊 Yeah, learning a new trick or skill isn't always a pleasure in itself, but the harder it is to land it, the bigger the reward. At least, that's how I experience it.
@@chrischadwick1 Published my first skating vid in March 2020, four months after I purchased my very first pair of inline skates. :-D Made a lot of progress since then, both in editing and skating.
Great tips Chris! But more importantly, what a sexy setup! They look mint! Beautiful. Look forward to hearing more about those and how they compare to your ST8s. Nice one Chris!
Thanks man! Yeah I took your advice and have got those for a wizard setup. They look so sick with the intuitions. I thought the blue st8s were dope but that st10 metallic navy is beautiful! 🔥
Great Tips and i agree a 100% with that list. Only thing i find a bit scary is, if you hurt yourself seriously there is nobody to help when you skate alone. Had that last year with my crucial ligament torn. Not so funny to get back into the car and drive home alone. Ah, i have a nother Tip, I recognized if i explain tricks to other people i make huge steps forward with my own skating. Greetz
I absolutely despise learning how to skate coping, it is zero fun to me BUT I really, really want to have a least a few tricks because the idea of being able to skate coping IS really fun, and seeing people skate coping well looks amazing and would just be generally useful to have. If that makes sense hah.. I'm going to have to commit eventually and just learn it but MY GOSH it just kills me every time. Maybe a caveat to the last point is sometimes you have to sacrifice fun in order to have more fun in the future, or maybe I just hate learning coping too much haha
Oh ma, yeah learning to skate coping is a massive ball ache but the rewards are definitely worth it. Your right, sometimes you have to grit your teeth and work hard for the long term gain. I definitely finish some tricks and think 'thank god that's over' haha
@@chrischadwick1 hah, I've definitely had those moments! during self filming especially (which is a brilliant point by the way, the amount of times I've redone annoying tricks to the point of now having them on lock. It's how I learned most wizard stuff to be honest hah)
@@ThatShaunBoy yeah its so helpful. Yeah ive been meaning to ask you about how you learnt your wizard moves. Iv'e watched the Rollerbalding tutorial but i haven't found many others that have been that helpful. Any tips or content recommendations? :)
@@chrischadwick1 I discovered that one late on but always noted it as basically the ONLY wizard tutorial.. there's some old Shaun Unwin videos that explain the basic moves too but they're not super clear from memory. It was honestly just watching videos in slowmo and trying to copy it, once I learned the gazelle everything came from that. Once you learn that and understand how inside and outside edges work (which is a constant leaning process) almost everything else is just a variation of that. Also, a couple of years ago I visited Canada and got to skate with Unwin and Leon which blew my mind, learnt some of the fundamentals a lot better and those one footed "S" curves
@@ThatShaunBoy oh that's sick man. That must have been an awesome experience. I've always assumed your uk based but I realise that's only from my perception of the style of Skatepark I see you in 🤣
@@chrischadwick1 Cheers dude. Same goals as 2021 tbh! Backside stall and frontside stall 180 in, a couple of basic grinds on a manual box or p-rail, drop into the foam pit at my local park. Magic slide on big wheels. And not stress out about lack of progress. You're 100% right - aim Number 1 is to have fun.
@@Snifffski ah cool, never heard that before. Yeah ide love to get good at that one. I'm much better at conventional wheel slides atm. Joey from Mushroom Blading is amazing at those ufo slides
What are your tips for progressing faster or learning a new trick?

Thanks Man! Yeah thats an awesome way to learn. I. Im about to get on of those subrosa Street rails so I can practice more at home!
I recognised the Great Yarmouth park. Ultra small, yet fun :)
🖐 great video! Especially like the thumbnail and the little Rowan 'bye' at the end
Thanks O! Rowan is the star of the show 🤩
Great tips, Chris! 👍 The last tip is the most important one, I think: it's really all about having fun. 😊
Thanks Tim 😁 Definitely it's all about enjoying yourself at the end of the day. Although I will admit, sometimes I tolerate a less than fun process to get a trick landed because the reward at the end is worth it!
Subbed your channel too. Looks dope, I'll check it out later 👍

Agreed, it would suck to injure yourself on a solo session. I always have a phone but none the less!
Brilliant Tips! Though I def find skating alone soooo hard to get motivated and want to do stuff outside of a "session"
Yeah agreed. A camera definitely helps though to get you motivated 👍
Your kid is so cute!

Good tips👍 No progress at all in two and a half years but I'm getting there with the fun part 😅👍
Thanks man. Hope they help out,it's all about the fun though at the end if the day. Any skating goals for 2022?

@@Snifffski sounds good man. What's a magic slide? Is that like a wheel slide?
@@chrischadwick1 Magic slide is a big wheel slide in the UFO position. Both skates on inside 'edges'.
@@Snifffski ah cool, never heard that before. Yeah ide love to get good at that one. I'm much better at conventional wheel slides atm. Joey from Mushroom Blading is amazing at those ufo slides
maybe get better at naming tricks lol
Nagh they're just fine I recon 🤣
