I love heel pivots. I been doing these for about 3 weeks but never knew what they were called. Thanks Katie for educating me in the finer arts of roller skating! I love you and your channel so much. Beautifully choreographed and very well explained. ❤🛼🛼🫶🏻
Thanks you so much, I love your videos❤️ Some days ago I tried for the first time pivot to spin but I don't understand how to do it, now I understand, thanks you❤️
Hi! With the heel pivot, am I putting most of the pressure on the hell of the leg that forms the pivot or on the leg that’s going around the circle? Thanks ☺️
Hi, most of the weight needs to be on the foot going around the outside so the one doing the inside edge. Think of around a 70:30 / 80:20 split of weight between the two feet.
Thank you for this! I love all your videos so much! When I try this spin, the toe stops eventually come loose because the move twists them off. Any advice on that? And also, what about doing this move without toe stops in the skates?
Do you have the toe stops with a large nut to hold it on? These are known for coming loose. Make sure you put all your body weight behind the spanner when tightening the nut. Yes you can do it without a toe stop too. You’d have to anchor yourself with the front two wheels instead.
Hi! I have been interested in learning to rollerskate for a while and I have finally decided to give it a go! I recently got a pair of Rio roller skates for my birthday and I'm looking forward to start my rollerskating journey, I have worn them a couple of times and it's proving to be very difficult 😆 but your videos have made everything so much clearer and I can't wait to get them on again! Have you got any tips for places to learn to rollerskate? I think parks and promanades are a good option but it can be difficult when there is lots of people arround and it can feel a little embarrassing 😂 How long did it take you to learn to skate? ☺️
Finding somewhere good to practice is often very difficult. If you’ve got wood flooring inside it’s often good to start inside as the outside has extra obstacles likes stones etc to make life harder. Lots of people use tennis courts. I can’t remember learning to skate. I think I learnt so young it’s just something I’ve always been able to do. I love it so much the feeling of freedom skating gives me. I hope you enjoy your journey and your Rio rollers x
Hi there, which skates are you using for these moves? I'm thinking of getting myself a pair and not sure which to get ?! haven;'t skated properly for a few years just getting back into it again with my daughter (she's a newbie) 😊
Hi. A great beginner skate is the rookie artistic, look for adjustable toe stops, and metal trucks. Don’t forget your helmet and pads too. Stay safe and have fun xx
When I'm trying to do heel pivot, I just lose all momentum and stop. I can't keep turning 😪😪 I don't know what am I doing wrong. Is it me? Is it the wheels of my skate or the ground?
You do need a bit of speed going into it to keep a good roll going. Really press on that inside edge that will help the foot dig in and keep momentum you can always pump the foot slightly to gain more speed like a bubble action.
The ones with the toe stop are Risport dance boots with a roll-line dance plate and Powell bones 101A wheels the ones without the toe stops are a Risport Cristallo boots on a Atlas plate with Boiani star 80D wheels. They’re both figure skates. A great beginner skate is the rookie artistic or the Chaya Melrose elite.

Thank you so much for the kind words. I’m a bit of a skating geek, I love all the technical stuff. 🤓🤓🤩😎🌟🛼
Thanks for explaining this move so clearly. Also, I LOVE the out takes at the end of the video. 😂

Thank you. 👍🛼😂
Thanks you so much, I love your videos❤️ Some days ago I tried for the first time pivot to spin but I don't understand how to do it, now I understand, thanks you❤️
Fantastic! Hope the video helps you. 💕👍🛼
I love doing the pivot using the toe stop on the corners... its a blast. Especially when your not good at spins :P
It’s a great way to feel the pull needed for spins.
You're amazing Katie! Thanks for all the videos and tips! I've been following you and watching all your videos since the first day.
Oh wow! Thank you. We love making the videos. It always such fun. 💕👍🛼
Amazing video 📹 like always very informative. LOVE U 💘 I do! I have learned so much from your videos 📹

Thank you!!!!
💕⭐️🛼
Thanks!! Is wrong if a do the pivot spin standing in my two front wheels and not in the toe stop?
That’s a great option and quite tricky so we’ll done ⭐️⭐️🛼💕

Yes. Dance and free. Lots more videos coming. 👍💕🛼

So i was trying the 1st one and it hurt my toe. Does it have anything to do with my skates being a lil too small?
Could be. These types of moves can cause the foot to slip forwards in the boot and hit the end.
Hi! I was just wondering do you need to use toe guards when practicing skating on the streets? Btw your videos really help me :)
Thank you. I’ve never worn toe guards but it’s totally a choice. If you find you’re scuffing your toes a lot then it might be a good idea.

Hi, can I repost your video to another website? For example, youku in China will not be used in business models.
Hi. It’s a lovely idea but I don’t think the music license we use would be valid outside of UA-cam.

@@pbwind1 we have licensing rules for music etc which won’t be valid outside of the UA-cam platform so I cannot give permission unfortunately.
@@Skatie OK A little disappointed. thank you for your reply. thanks
I love doing pivot spins on my toe stops… but I keep unscrewing them. Any tips to avoid that? 😂
Do you have toe caps on to protect the end of your boots? Make sure the hardward (nut etc) is inside the toe cap not on the outside.
@@Skatie I don't have caps... you think that would help?
How hard are your wheels? Mine won't slip like yours, and they're 85A.
The wheels I’m wearing are about as hard as they go. They’re a 80D but similar to a 101A.
