I have to constantly remind myself to do this, but it pays off by improving my weight distribution and skating immensely. This is the same advice I was given for skiing, and it was equally valuable there, as well.
I am very happy about this video. I hear stay low everywhere. On the other hand, while skating, I noticed that you don't have to be on strongly bent legs all the time, it is only important to rest your shins on the liner tongue and tilt your body properly. Of course, the faster you want to skate, the lower the better position, the lower the center of gravity, lower air resistance, and greater range of leg motion. It is also better to lower the position when skating on uneven and difficult surfaces. But on a good surface for recreation, I think that you don't have to bend your knees too much. In the long run, I just can't because I have back pain and my knees can't stand it.
Normally I ask people to keep their core between their heel and toes while they have a slight bend in their knees. That automatically fixes things for them. And at the same time, it instantly tells you how aware of their core balance they are (which is very helpful when giving people skating advice) :) As always, thank you for the sunny disposition:)
I’d simply say “Lower your center of gravity.” Posture is important too. You don’t want to be hunched over. I think it’s important to keep a straight back, especially when you start getting into rotation and spins.
This is your best video yet Ricardo! It took me more than 1 year to figure this out. All along we were told to bend knees. But bending knees can have right or wrong way. 🤣
I agree with the bend knees that your talking about, when I teach it, I teach to bend your knees only a little bit, and the balance, (pointing to the bottom), has to equal the forward pointing of the top half of the body, and to not bend the knees very much, and also have feet slightly apart with one foot in front of the other just a little bit for max stability. The problem that I see all the time is that new bees tend to lean way too much forward and of course the fall over more. Hey thanks for that more detailed version, will try it next time im out, this arvo... chr chr
That actually helps a lot. I was trying to figure out why I couldn't get my weight off of my heels and it's because I'm bending the wrong way. So I practiced a bit the way you outline and I'm able to get my weight forward on the balls of my feet. So I think this will help.
Oh, and not sure if u remember me Ricardo, im from San Diego and we spoke once as the pandemic was starting, almost 2 years ago. Just wanted to say whenever u around south california again so i join one of your skating sessions through the area.
This video is so helpful, i just got back into inline skating after over 10 years(( i have forgotten all the basics), this really helps.. could u do more? :D
If i meet with rough road its really hard to skate. What do i have to change from my skate? Change the wheels diameter, the bearings or the wheels setting?
Hey, your videos inspired me to buy a pair of inline skates back in 2017 or 2018. I used them twice, they cost a lot of money and I scarred my elbow really bad. In retrospect, I should have just rented some $20 skates at a rink or something. My mistake.
Good morning, I'm 52 and with a hip replacement so I have to be very careful. I purchased 2024 Rollerblade Lightning 80, but these wheels are far too large for me. I'm just too unstable at six feet tall. And falling is a very bad idea for me with a joint replacement. So the question I can't seem to get a good answer to is this: Can I take a pair of 68mm wheels and put them on my Rollerblade Lightnings? All I'm doing is fitness skating. Rollerblade said I could get away with 72mm, but would 68mm fit that frame. Please help and thanks in advance. Mark
An idea that i struggle on a lot is balance in general, i feel i cant T stop due to not being able to lift a foot off the ground and balance. I am quite tall, so its even harder i feel. Do you have any recommendations for attempting to learn to balance on one foot, so i can propperly learn to T stop? Also pronation, how can i correct my pronating stance? My frames are as far over and i still find i pronate a lot? Would love some basic understanding, also as always i enjoy your help
@@RicardoLinoi mean automatic closed caption, i ask you that since im a fan of your videos and i was born in Johannesburg but i live in Italy since i was 5...
Cool topic, thanks for the video. I am currently struggling with my balance as i try to learn air on quarters, bowls, half pipes, etc. I feel like i dont know what to do just before the time to jump on the ramps transition near the coping and then i lose my balance and kinda abort pushing to get air. I guess i have moviment dislexia. So i cannot understand if to do airs i should throw my body at a certain angle to be on a paralel line comparing to the ramp line. To better explain this issue, would it be correct if i imagine there is a basketball hoop right over and aligned with the coping? And then kinda aim to that direction? Because i know we not supposed to do the normal jump push as we reach the coping when going to air, because that push would throw out body towards the center of the half pipe and away from the coping, and making us fall. So now i think i need to do up, nor forward and neither backwards like jumping of coping would cause. And so, do i need to throw myself only up and aligned with the coping and so also avoid having my feet stuck on the coping top part? See how it makes sense of me maybe having moviment dislexia.
Try and learn how to just pump in the bowl and then at the ends where you are facing the coping, start figuring out how to jump sideways. Basically right before your momentum stops, jump away from the ramp just a tiny bit and then land a bit to either left or right (depends on preference/leading leg) from where you started the jump. Doing this will help you get comfortable with being "free" from the ramp. When you feel comfortable doing that, start jumping further to the sides, which will require a higher jump, and so on, so forth :) Hope this explain a possible path you can take, best of luck and dont hesitate to ask if it isnt clear :)
Spoiler: If you squat in the gym pushing your hips back, you are doing it wrong! So, dorsiflexion is very important in squat too. 2 cents by an olympic weightlifter 🏋🏻♀️

Ofcourse not every second. But it almost always helps your skating
Bent knees is half the battle. Even with my knees bent, I still felt like my wheels want to roll on that hard AF tennis court surface.
5 minutes after watching this my confidence is up 2000% and I’m actually going back and forth. What an absolute legend.

So useful. 🤯🤩 I been telling people to bend there knees. But this tip just blow my mind. So simple and useful.👍👌
RICARDO IS THE MAN!!
This is starting to make a little sense to me now. Onto my second tryout.

Você está publicando cada vez mais e melhor. Parabéns. Ah, o cenário escolhido desta vez é maravilhoso. Aposto que é o quintal de sua casa. Obrigado.
Could you please add what your set up is in the description of these videos? I am curious about what boots you have.
This is great. Im trying to teach my son to skate but I’m far from good at actually explaining it to him. This will help so much. 👌
Those skate boots look almost like my K2 Soulslides back in '96 :-) What skates do you use in that video?
Thanks 🙏
Super helpful!!! I'm excited to try this out! 😍
thank you
I tried the Skillshare, to look for you skating classes but could not find it. Also tried a search on your name, still nothing.
Hi I am Sally Shirdy happy to see your video l need to learning my girl how to start skate
You da BEST !! Thank YOU!!
If i meet with rough road its really hard to skate. What do i have to change from my skate? Change the wheels diameter, the bearings or the wheels setting?
What wheel size, hardness, and hard to skate on feet? Ive put insoles to lower fast feet vibration.

You are rigth, everybody say bend your knees but is more importand the dorsiflexion. I just learn this after 40 years skating . Tranquila you!!!
Great tip!!!! Thank you!!!

Pls do a video or turns, cross overs
An idea that i struggle on a lot is balance in general, i feel i cant T stop due to not being able to lift a foot off the ground and balance.
I am quite tall, so its even harder i feel.
Do you have any recommendations for attempting to learn to balance on one foot, so i can propperly learn to T stop?
Also pronation, how can i correct my pronating stance?
My frames are as far over and i still find i pronate a lot?
Would love some basic understanding, also as always i enjoy your help

Head over toes is a good cue
That's what I was saying.
Incredible
What set up are you using in this video?
I’m still finding my weight over my heals and it’s really slowing my learning down ..
Informative😍😍😍😘
i am a very beginner even i didnt even get my skating shoes so can i kno how stopping the skates when you come faster
Please do a video for skating floor
So the Miami Franky position lol... I have to wear high heeled boot skates like old skates are made. So what's a good heeled skate for big wheels?
good
The best
Obrigado ❤️🙏🏻
and just like that imma a pro
India me ❤❤
😀
oh i got the video
are investing in crypto?
investing in bearings and polyurethane
hi ricardo can you please activate eng subs please??
Once google allows me I will 🙏🏻 thanks for the suggestion
Lotta love
Lino
❤️
@@RicardoLinoi mean automatic closed caption, i ask you that since im a fan of your videos and i was born in Johannesburg but i live in Italy since i was 5...
i still am not very sure on how to turn and stop on my inline skates
There a 3 ways to turn: "A turn", parallel turn, crossovers. For breaking start with plow break, tstop.

I managed to fall from staright up standing on my ass. Completely ruined my back and I almost cannot wlak. Just from standing.
what are those boots though? :)
