I am 67 years old. It has been 50 years since I have roller skated. Watching your videos have given me the confidence to start again. I have been skating for about a month now and am loving the feeling it gives me! I had forgotten the wonderful sound the skates make as I glide down the street and the way the wind feels on my face . I don’t feel old when I skate, I am a kid again and I’m loving every minute of it!! Thank you ladies for making all your videos. I have watched all of them. You inspired me !!
@Yeet dont be! its really fun, but just make sure you have a bag for bandaids and neosporin, knee pads, elbow pads, and a helmet if its your first time. and then, when you get comfortable with it you can take the gaurds off, but you dont have to. but still brings the bag for medical stuff just in case. oh and PLEASE, lace up your roller skates all the way up to have good support in your ankles.
I am the only skater in my house and my mom used to skate she is now 53 and I have two pairs of skate I told my dad that maybe she would learn how again and she said she would break a hip. Now I am teaching my sister and showed her your comment and I told her to try using it. It really works.
I'm a skateboarder and I wanted to get my friend out with me skating, she didn't exactly want to ride a board so we went looking for other options. Then she notices some roller-skates in a local skate-shop, they catch her eye, she tries them on and decides to buy them. Now the closest thing I've done to this is ice-skating so I didn't have much knowledge on the subject but thanks to you guys I've been able to teach her and help her build confidence. So thank you and good work on the video.
I'm also an ice skater/roller blader who wants to try roller skates. I wonder if it's really all that different in terms of how you move the muscles.... I can't afford skates right now anyway so this is kind of a future me problem.
@@coolishmintz7212 try in you house so i have a smooth kitchen and hallway floor with a little bump in the hallway, this means i dont have to worry about going to fast to look better and also there is more stuff to grab onto like the kitchen sides and table
I wish I could practise in my garden but i have a shared garden, there is a camera there and I don’t want my neighbours seeing me fall all the time and it’s just all covered in grass ✌︎︎(;´༎ຶٹ༎ຶ`)✌︎︎
I just bought a pair of brand new roller skates at a Goodwill the other day. My parents had us kids skating as soon as we could walk. Mom and dad met at a skating rink back in the 40 or 50's. Back in the day my parents did the dances on roller skates. Sunday was always our roller skating day. I am now 61 and haven't done much skating in almost 20 years. You have me inspired to try to skate again and hopefully not break something. So I am giving it a try on my living room floor, don't have much balance left. It's not like never forgetting to ride a bike. My next step is going to take the dogs out in the stroller and put on my skates hopefully having the stroller will help me get my balance back and something to hang on to. Thank you for the videos I found very informative.
I went skating yesterday and there were a lot of cute guys that could skate and then there was me running into people because I can’t even stop or turn.. my arms were flying everywhere too because I kept feeling like I was gonna fall so I’m watching this video so I can skate next time I go lol
@StrawberiixMilkii i start 3 weeks ago and im a good starter but when i say its a bit easy indoors it is im skating in my moms apt at least 3 days a week and i'm okay because it's like ice skating you will get the same feeling but it's you on being on wheels. yes i have ice skated before and i noticed that ever since i have been roller skating it's been engaging my core and making me feel way better here is a link to help you with balance to get you better ua-cam.com/video/vVXQ68CzuDk/v-deo.html
@kittyworld of amazing @nariyah hardy I'm 13, I've been skating for 5 or 6 years, and i can do a lot of the stunts that these women can do. practise hard and you'll get it.
i've always had a fear of skating as kid. but, whenever i see people who can, i get envious. so, i bought a pair today! i fell back standing but practice makes perfect! thanks for sharing ur knowledge!
i skate around my local park. my feet hurt after 15 min of skating. so, usually after 30 min of skating, i'll stop for the day. i really did want to skate around town but i quickly realized these type of skates are best on smooth surfaces such as a skating rink. rough black tops are a struggle to skate on. there's too many vibrations and im spending too much energy just rolling through it.
Bee Vang get outdoor wheels! If the vibrations hurt your feet your wheels are probably too hard. Softer, gummy, big wheels will make it way more enjoyable of a cruise :) I recommend Moxi outdoor wheels and Rollerbones Venice Wheels! Contact @moxiskateshop if you need help choosing or purchasing!
Trying to rollerskate for the first time at 40 isn't easy. In fact it's scaring when I tried. But watching this video boosted my confidence. Thanks frm Nigeria.
Longboards are good that you can jump off, on rolleskaters you can't. idiot. And Rolleskaters give you different feel, and skateboarding is giving you other feel, both are different.
Its probably those pro or advanced skaters who think her advice isnt the best. But just because you know how to skate doesn't necessarily mean you know how to teach someone else to skate and be safe skating. We all have to start somewhere and Im glad I found this video. Im 47 years old and I haven't skated since I was probably 14. So, although I used to skate, so a lot of it is like riding a bike, putting on the skates feels good I have to readjust to the movements at my body's age and lose the fear of falling and hurting myself. Practice practice practice!!
OMG!!!! I love you guys!!! Great tips! My husband just bought me skates...early Xmas gift. He and our 12 yr old granddaughter have recently started skating at a local skating rink near our house. I go and just watch. I'm a little on the chubby side and feel like I can't do it. I really want to get the nerve up to try! I'm also a Breast Cancer Survivor and I really need the exercise! I'm going to try your tips...THANKS!!! FYI...I'm 56 and hubby is 75!!! and he's very athletic and healthy. JACQUELINE
No wonder I can't skate now😂 I literally try skating with my feet straight. About 2 years ago I must have been smarter and skating with the v thanks you really helped I have a skating field trip tomorrow👌🏼
Yes! I'm learning how to roller skate and you and the moxi girls are a really REALLY big inspiration. Please keep the videos coming, you are awesome. Big thanks from Brasil
I've been roller skating in my kitchen for the past few months but I decided to go outside for the first time since the snow has finally melted. I skated 5, 6, 10, and 20 blocks in the past few days and 18 blocks today. I really love it and the technique to balance yourself has really helped me, I have not fallen once yet! Thank you so much for these episodes! 💕
I work as a Sonic carhop and skate about 40 hours a week. I can't do very many cool tricks, but I am very comfortable on them and love them alot. It makes me excited to see y'all out there getting it!!! Would love to have some skating friends like you guys to roll around town with!!!
I have the same issue and I’m so scared because I’ve broken one before. I had to buy wrist pads so I have the confidence it’ll hold everything together 😅
You guys need to post more, me and my 2 friends just started skating because of your channellllll literally love it so much!! And we learned a lot for your how to video , Love From Chicago!
Gigi Veto how about you post? if we had more girls just puttingnup any kind of skate videos we could get a lot more oeople comfortable with it all over
So I went roller skating with my youth group the other day I have never roller skated before it was hilarious I fell a lot and flailed my arms and stuff lol also ripped my pants by inadvertently doing a split
Y'ALL WERE GREAT!!! I'll be 40 this year and had just told my husband , I'll be able to match him by my birthday. He skates like a pro! After watching this, I'm pretty sure and confident, I'll be able to keep up. THANK YOU!!!
I'd love to see a video where we learn to go forward to backwards, how to fall, and how to skate downhill! This is great. I picked up my Moxis on a whim and haven't stopped skating since... mostly because I can't figure out how to stop ;)
I have been roller skating with my brother and he has been next to me and slowing getting farther and farther away. I would recommend getting someone to do that with u
Thank you so much for making these. I used to love skating, i busted an ankle and i've been scared to try ever since. This is given me inspiration to get back at it!!
@@INDYJAMMAJONES : I twisted both ankles and am now on inlines (bought them shortly before I found your UA-cam channel, or I'd probably be using quads -- probably gonna be teaching my daughter on quads). So yes, it is possible to get back to it. :)
I followed this yesterday and the drop for stability was amazing!!! I got so fast and confident yesterday so thank you! I am going again today and hopefully going to pick up fast feet and bubbles!
This is super helpful! I just recently started roller skating all by myself and I've had to learn out of just falling down a lot. Thanks for explaining basic stuff so simply! You're adorable. I'm looking forward to more episodes!
@@nyasmith96 Oml and ig people don't watch old videos they've never seen huh? I've just stumbled across this channel so commenting regardless of the video's age isn't uncommon.
I really want to roller skate, but I can’t because my parents think that roller skates are too expensive and aren’t a ‘needed’ item. I don’t have any roller skates, and never tried them before. My parents think they’re too dangerous too. Can you pls make a video on how to convince your parents to get you roller skates? If you could, and the tips actually help me, then that would make me super happy! Pls and thank you! 😄❤️
I bought my first pair of skates at a yard sale. Try buying secondhand because they are cheaper and sometimes may even be more sturdy than the plastic ones at the store!
See if there's a skating rink near you where you can rent a pair and try it out. Keep looking at thrift stores for used ones. Maybe earn the money yourself. Good luck!
I just really want you guys to know that you saved my life today - I almost wiped out backwards but i remembered at the last second to drop down low and i TOTALLY saved it!
Following, bc I have the same issue-skateboarding, roller skating, ice skating, etc. When I’m on something moving, my body freaks out and will put my foot down or prevent me from moving.
Some roller rinks have wheelers for beginner skaters that you can hold on to so that you can get the feeling or you can always make your own with PVC pipes. The first few times I skated I would not let go of the wall, and after using the wheelers at my local roller rink I have confidently learned how to skate. Maybe try this??👍🏼
Bend your knees! Dirty Deb has a video on how to warm up on skates. The very first step is to grab onto the wall, and do a squat, as low as you can go. Do it 3 times. When you stand up from the squat your body will naturally be in the position for skating and it'll make your life 1000x's easier. For me, 9 times out of 10 I fall (or feel like i'm falling) bc my knees aren't bent. This is why they teach you when you feel like you're going to fall, squat low and you won't fall (or fall as hard).
I'm actually on my way to try roller skating for the second time! My 2017 resolution is to get decent at it & I was honestly kind of afraid of going to the rink alone today & looking very silly. This made me feel a lot more prepared to try it out again. Thank you! 💕
Morgan McGlothan you will absolutely fall and you will get back up again a feel great about it and yourself!! It always makes me so happy to hear of somebody getting back on wheels! Don't give up, it'll change your life!
I was invited to go roller skating with a big groups of my friends. seeming I have NEVER done it before I desire to just go and give it a try. before I left to go I quickly had to do some simple Google search so I didn't stuff up and embarrass myself. I ended up stumbling on this video and DAM IT WAS SOOOO HELPFUL. I didn't even fall over once. So thank you soooo much for all of your help❤❤❤
This has been really helpful.! I don't know how to skate at all, and when I went to the rink, I couldn't stop rolling backwards, but I couldn't go forwards. It was the weirdest thing ever, but watching this, I think I see what I was doing wrong. Thanks a lot.!
It's been two months since I started roller skating and I have been struggling way too much. I was today years old when I managed to roll properly all thanks to you! 😌❤️
This winter I learned how to skate on ice, and I really loved it! I asked my mom if she can get me roller skates because everyone keeps telling me that roller skates and ice skates are almost the same thing. I am gonna get roller skates soon and I'm gonna see the results! I'll keep you guys updated.
Oh My Goodness~!!! I just HAVE to tell you how much of an inspiration you are to me!!! After 12 years of gaining weight and losing sight of myself I have finally started to rediscover me! My highest weight over the years was 340lb and as of this week I have lost over 90lb and am currently in the 240's!!! Woot Woot! I have not been to a roller rink since I was 17, and I just finally decided to go recently after hitting my recent weight-loss milestone. I am currently 29yrs old and your Videos have meant EVERYTHING to someone like me who is just now getting into roller skating! I am new, I am totally uneducated about skating, lol, and I am in desperate need to absorb as much as I can about everything! Haha I just want you to know that I see both you and your friend and others in your youtube channel and in your videos and it gives me so much courage watching all of you... I am determined to get the hang of this thing and I am not looking back! Who cares if I gotta use a skate-mate for a while or I gotta roll around the rink while completely hugging the wall lol, with time and practice I know I can get better... :) If there is any tips you would offer or advise for heavy weight roller skaters I would love your input! Ironically I had just bought some Chicago Skates at Big 5 lolz and they were SOOOO BAD. The guy at our local rink here in Sacramento wouldnt even let me go out in them on the floor because upon closer inspection it turns out they were actually BROKEN!!! Can you believe it??? Ugh, I was so mad we had to leave and my husband had to take me so that I could take them back. But we are now looking at more expensive options, ones that will hopefully hold up better... Im really wanting ones that are good for both indoor as well as outdoor activities around the streets and along the sidewalk. What would you recommend as far as brand or type of shoe or wheels etc? I am still new to this and I dont want to make a $200 purchase mistake lolz. My budget is $200 for roller skates and I am at a loss as to what to choose hahahahaha. ~~~~~~~~~ THANK YOU!!!!
Goes to show how much i know! I've been braking wrong my whole life! I'm a semi-frequent patron of a roller rink and every time i tried braking I would put one foot in front of the other and put that foot on my toe to hit the brake pad! That rarely worked so I'd simply slam into the wall near the exit to stop instead of actually stopping :) Next time I go (if they open up again after this is all over) I'll have to try it this way!
I got my first skates today! I watched this before I got em but I completely forgot everything when I first put them on and nearly did the splits 😂 but my uncle & brother were there holding me to support ^^^ so here I am re-watching this :D
Indy, thank you soooo much for creating your fun, really helpful videos. I’m an ice skating coach, edging toward retirement. I thought about converting an older pair of boots to inline snowwhite blades. But instead, I ordered Moxi Lollies and they arrived last evening. I plan to take my time finding the sweet spots of balance and the basics. I’ve been all around the house and can stop, balance on my right foot, swizzle forward and backward, march and do small strides. My insides want to fly down the street but I’m going to take my time. Lots of time!! Anyway….thank you, thank you, thank you. You’re a lot of sunshine and joy.
THANK YOU SO MUCH! This was really helpful especially the lesson on how to go forward with your feet pointing outward. When my friend and I went roller skating we were literally shuffling in place cause our feet were forward the whole time 😂😂😂
Indy Jamma Jones, you are my family's new favorite celebrity. My 2 daughters and I got skates at Christmas and just broke them out this weekend. Thanks to you and Planet Roller Skate, we are all moving forward, and 2 of us are moving backward, pretty reliably. Thank you thank you thank you!!!
How you keep your legs from cramping, besides strectching? i tend to get stiff naturally, which gradually makes my legs feel like pins and needles. and swords.
Indy & Pigeon - I started roller skating this June and everything I have learned was thanks to your films. First thing I mastered was falling down:) and I really appreciate it. Thank you, thank you :****
THANK YOU ! I am just starting (at age 43) in my apartment, and I figured I need some help, thanks for your advice, like this I can keep practicing. I startet practicing with my office-chair that has wheels, pushing it in front of me ;) Thought I share this just to make you smile :D
Really great tutorial. I'm pretty intermediate and at first I thought all of the tutorial was going to be very basic beginner. I've recently started doing T stops and I had no idea it was more efficient to use all four wheels. can't wait to see more on this channel 😊
trust me when i say they are worth it! you never want cheap skates, especially if you're planning on outdoor usage like on sidewalks (this is from experience lol) .. i understand cheap is lovely when the product is good, but it's usually not the case ):
I found this channel around a year ago and I binged all your other videos and after that automatically begged my mom to buy me skates. And now after so much time I finally ordered some skates this weekend and now I'm rewatching this so I can be prepared. You guys got me into this stuff and it's just so cool.
You guys taught me how to roller skate on concrete. Thank you so much! I taught myself how to roller skate in rinks, using some of your tricks aswell. You also inspired my friend and I to get skates and give it a go. I thank you so much for inviting me and my BFF!!
I just bought roller skates yesterday. Is started a few days ago with rollerskating on some old skates i bought at a flee market for 2 euro's and left in a box for 2 years after that. They broke on the second day, but I was so hooked! I didn't need long to decide to buy new ones. Can't wait to try them out!
I did! Eventually. The pair I bought had a defect. So I bought an other more expensive pair at a skate shop. They are just plain black ones but I am planning on giving them a make over. Thanks for the reply!
This is a great video! I am just getting back into skating after 23 years of not skating. I'm having so much fun. I found your channel when I was looking for how to change my bearings in my wheels. Then this one and it was very helpful to frefresh my memory of how to skate.
Totally brill, I'm new to roller skating and this is the MOST actually helpful (and fun) how to type video. X Thanks to you I'm a lot less Bambi than I used to be !
I'm loving these vids so much! been following the Moxi team for ages. One day I'll make it to long beach! It's so hilly where I live so outdoor skating is limited to skate parks. I dream of being able to skate to work! Thanks for the tips ❤
I bought my skates 5 months ago, first time I tried I did really bad stuff and hurted my back, now I'm trying again and thank for you gals, it's the second day and I can transfer my weight very well. THANK U

Whats so dope about skate boarding when you could roller skate?
TigerDJPlayz I think it’s all fun!
In my opinion, roller skates are way easier and fun that skateboarding.

I love that even though you are both experienced you still wear the safety gear
Always be safe! What if a person didn't watch where they were going and they ran into one of them?
OMG!!!!
I love you guys!!! Great tips!
My husband just bought me skates...early Xmas gift.
He and our 12 yr old
granddaughter have recently started skating at a local skating rink near our house. I go and just watch. I'm a little on the chubby side and feel like I can't do it. I really want to get the nerve up to try! I'm also a Breast Cancer Survivor and I really need the exercise! I'm going to try your tips...THANKS!!! FYI...I'm 56 and hubby is 75!!! and he's very athletic and healthy.

Wow huge age gap. Did you marry him when he was in his 40s ??
Aw I hope you do great 💟
No wonder I can't skate now😂 I literally try skating with my feet straight. About 2 years ago I must have been smarter and skating with the v thanks you really helped I have a skating field trip tomorrow👌🏼
Savana Hess hope you had a great time!
Savana Hess my friends and I were shuffling in place because our feet were forward 😂😂😂
Blackpink is the revolution Hi fellow blink 😂

Maria Clara thank YOU!

Daleeee!
Marmeid eu não entendo nada
I've been roller skating in my kitchen for the past few months but I decided to go outside for the first time since the snow has finally melted. I skated 5, 6, 10, and 20 blocks in the past few days and 18 blocks today. I really love it and the technique to balance yourself has really helped me, I have not fallen once yet! Thank you so much for these episodes! 💕
I work as a Sonic carhop and skate about 40 hours a week. I can't do very many cool tricks, but I am very comfortable on them and love them alot. It makes me excited to see y'all out there getting it!!! Would love to have some skating friends like you guys to roll around town with!!!
me: *fragile wrists with a tendency to use them to support me when falling* 👁👄👁
I have the same issue and I’m so scared because I’ve broken one before. I had to buy wrist pads so I have the confidence it’ll hold everything together 😅
Najia Reed i’ve broken both of mine and can’t find cute wrist pads so 😳
Marnie k but i cant find some that aren’t black, at least pink would b nice :/
Marnie dawg if i want pink wrist pads let me have them in peace. obviously i know they’re there to protect me lol
Savannah Phillips there are so many pink/colourful options. Moxi, Rio and Triple 8 for a start.

You guys need to post more, me and my 2 friends just started skating because of your channellllll literally love it so much!! And we learned a lot for your how to video , Love From Chicago!
Gigi Veto how about you post? if we had more girls just puttingnup any kind of skate videos we could get a lot more oeople comfortable with it all over
So I went roller skating with my youth group the other day I have never roller skated before it was hilarious I fell a lot and flailed my arms and stuff lol also ripped my pants by inadvertently doing a split
hahahahaha sounds like a fun time!
INDY JAMMA JONES ''twas amazing
LIFESAVER!!! Two days fresh on skates, and suddenly 6’3”...I really needed to know how to fall when I’m flailing backwards. Thank you so much!!
Y'ALL WERE GREAT!!! I'll be 40 this year and had just told my husband , I'll be able to match him by my birthday. He skates like a pro! After watching this, I'm pretty sure and confident, I'll be able to keep up. THANK YOU!!!
I'd love to see a video where we learn to go forward to backwards, how to fall, and how to skate downhill! This is great. I picked up my Moxis on a whim and haven't stopped skating since... mostly because I can't figure out how to stop ;)
Lauren Ibarra downhill tutorial in the future for sure! Forwards and backwards is included in this vid!
wow
Beautiful city, beautiful skater women, beautiful skates, and beautiful tutorial. Will definitely get into quad skating now. Muchas gracias! 🖒
Joshua Ramirez hope you love it as much as we do!
I have roller skates and was scared to use them. But this is helpful, this is the best video I've seen so far. THANK YOU!!!
Yayyyy so glad I can help! Happy skating:)
Thank me to I don’t want to fall in front of ppl
The man running away at 8:00 😂😂😂
OK so I just go my roller skates and I HaVe nO idea HOW do anything
I have been roller skating with my brother and he has been next to me and slowing getting farther and farther away. I would recommend getting someone to do that with u
Thank you so much for making these. I used to love skating, i busted an ankle and i've been scared to try ever since. This is given me inspiration to get back at it!!
Hunter Vand don't give up! I plan on making episodes in the future about people that came back from injuries even stronger and braver!
Thank you so much for all the encouragement! I can't wait to see the episode and I promise to keep on rolling ♥️✨
@@INDYJAMMAJONES : I twisted both ankles and am now on inlines (bought them shortly before I found your UA-cam channel, or I'd probably be using quads -- probably gonna be teaching my daughter on quads). So yes, it is possible to get back to it. :)
3:43 omg the people on the left almost pushed the girl in the middle😂😨
That would've been her final moments...on a skating tutorial🙅🏿 Some friends play too much and she should have left or told them off
Exactly, a boy got injured pretty badly at my school because his friends were playing too much. There is no update on his condition atm
@@epiphanymaplethorpe2592 is he ok now?
Actually, you gave me some hope girls. Thank you for the good efforts.
"Oh, it IS in my butt" 😂😂 Oh, Pigeon
I followed this yesterday and the drop for stability was amazing!!! I got so fast and confident yesterday so thank you! I am going again today and hopefully going to pick up fast feet and bubbles!
This is super helpful! I just recently started roller skating all by myself and I've had to learn out of just falling down a lot. Thanks for explaining basic stuff so simply! You're adorable. I'm looking forward to more episodes!
Yay so glad to help! Falling is inevitable, and a big part of skating. It can be fun though! I plan to show how to fall in the next episode :D
MY NICKNAME IS PIGEON OMG
@@nyasmith96 Don't be mean!
@@nyasmith96 yeah but just go somewhere else then.
@@nyasmith96 Oml and ig people don't watch old videos they've never seen huh? I've just stumbled across this channel so commenting regardless of the video's age isn't uncommon.
Nya Smith why be an ass if you don’t even know anything about them?
My nickname is finch
I really want to roller skate, but I can’t because my parents think that roller skates are too expensive and aren’t a ‘needed’ item. I don’t have any roller skates, and never tried them before. My parents think they’re too dangerous too. Can you pls make a video on how to convince your parents to get you roller skates? If you could, and the tips actually help me, then that would make me super happy! Pls and thank you! 😄❤️
Littlesprinkles9 Huela tell them that it is a good sport and entertainment product
I bought my first pair of skates at a yard sale. Try buying secondhand because they are cheaper and sometimes may even be more sturdy than the plastic ones at the store!
Your parents are LAME
See if there's a skating rink near you where you can rent a pair and try it out. Keep looking at thrift stores for used ones. Maybe earn the money yourself. Good luck!
I have been saving to buy them myself
I just really want you guys to know that you saved my life today - I almost wiped out backwards but i remembered at the last second to drop down low and i TOTALLY saved it!
I really want to try to learn, but my anxiety always gets really spiked when I'm on wheels. Any tips to try to minimize this?
Following, bc I have the same issue-skateboarding, roller skating, ice skating, etc. When I’m on something moving, my body freaks out and will put my foot down or prevent me from moving.
Try it on grass/carpet! Really helps you gain confidence
Some roller rinks have wheelers for beginner skaters that you can hold on to so that you can get the feeling or you can always make your own with PVC pipes. The first few times I skated I would not let go of the wall, and after using the wheelers at my local roller rink I have confidently learned how to skate. Maybe try this??👍🏼
Bend your knees! Dirty Deb has a video on how to warm up on skates.
The very first step is to grab onto the wall, and do a squat, as low as you can go. Do it 3 times. When you stand up from the squat your body will naturally be in the position for skating and it'll make your life 1000x's easier.
For me, 9 times out of 10 I fall (or feel like i'm falling) bc my knees aren't bent. This is why they teach you when you feel like you're going to fall, squat low and you won't fall (or fall as hard).
practice, honestly. your reaction is normal and everyone has to go through it at first :)
I'm actually on my way to try roller skating for the second time! My 2017 resolution is to get decent at it & I was honestly kind of afraid of going to the rink alone today & looking very silly. This made me feel a lot more prepared to try it out again. Thank you! 💕
Morgan McGlothan you will absolutely fall and you will get back up again a feel great about it and yourself!! It always makes me so happy to hear of somebody getting back on wheels! Don't give up, it'll change your life!
Awesome tips thank you! Look forward to more tutorials in the future 👌🏼
Thanks so much! Glad it was helpful :)
IndyJamma Jones do the skates have to be the tied ones or buckel ones? Great tips
IndyJamma Jones can you do a toutoriel on how to turn
Whatever rolls! There is no right or wrong.
INDY JAMMA JONES i love your skating videos
I was invited to go roller skating with a big groups of my friends. seeming I have NEVER done it before I desire to just go and give it a try. before I left to go I quickly had to do some simple Google search so I didn't stuff up and embarrass myself. I ended up stumbling on this video and DAM IT WAS SOOOO HELPFUL. I didn't even fall over once. So thank you soooo much for all of your help❤❤❤
I roller blade and I wasn’t used to roller skates after watching this video I could skate really well!!! Thx you guys so much!!!!❤️❤️
The little girl is so adorable,ready to buy her first par of skates,she learned all the tricks 😍
Thank you so much! Finally someone who showed helpful tips. Now I am less scared of falling and I think I'll buy rollerskates, though.
Scarlett do it!! Start with your hands on your knees to prevent the dreaded backwards fall!
INDY JAMMA JONES, thank you!
You ladies are absolutely amazing!! I love these videos so much!!
This has been really helpful.! I don't know how to skate at all, and when I went to the rink, I couldn't stop rolling backwards, but I couldn't go forwards. It was the weirdest thing ever, but watching this, I think I see what I was doing wrong. Thanks a lot.!
It's been two months since I started roller skating and I have been struggling way too much. I was today years old when I managed to roll properly all thanks to you! 😌❤️
Wish i had remembered this vid when i went skating ;-; Luckily all the 10 year olds at the rink helped me out.
bro it’s always the little kids... there’s 2 year olds that zip around on the plastic skates and are so good
“Ooh it is in my butt” ... *tries not to laugh*
😂lol
I just found out about Moxi and it reallllyy makes me want to learn how to roller skate well lol
This winter I learned how to skate on ice, and I really loved it! I asked my mom if she can get me roller skates because everyone keeps telling me that roller skates and ice skates are almost the same thing. I am gonna get roller skates soon and I'm gonna see the results! I'll keep you guys updated.
Just tried skating but mostly walked around in my skates cause there are no smooth flat op surfaces around here....
Oh My Goodness~!!! I just HAVE to tell you how much of an inspiration you are to me!!! After 12 years of gaining weight and losing sight of myself I have finally started to rediscover me! My highest weight over the years was 340lb and as of this week I have lost over 90lb and am currently in the 240's!!! Woot Woot! I have not been to a roller rink since I was 17, and I just finally decided to go recently after hitting my recent weight-loss milestone. I am currently 29yrs old and your Videos have meant EVERYTHING to someone like me who is just now getting into roller skating! I am new, I am totally uneducated about skating, lol, and I am in desperate need to absorb as much as I can about everything! Haha I just want you to know that I see both you and your friend and others in your youtube channel and in your videos and it gives me so much courage watching all of you... I am determined to get the hang of this thing and I am not looking back! Who cares if I gotta use a skate-mate for a while or I gotta roll around the rink while completely hugging the wall lol, with time and practice I know I can get better... :) If there is any tips you would offer or advise for heavy weight roller skaters I would love your input! Ironically I had just bought some Chicago Skates at Big 5 lolz and they were SOOOO BAD. The guy at our local rink here in Sacramento wouldnt even let me go out in them on the floor because upon closer inspection it turns out they were actually BROKEN!!! Can you believe it??? Ugh, I was so mad we had to leave and my husband had to take me so that I could take them back. But we are now looking at more expensive options, ones that will hopefully hold up better... Im really wanting ones that are good for both indoor as well as outdoor activities around the streets and along the sidewalk. What would you recommend as far as brand or type of shoe or wheels etc? I am still new to this and I dont want to make a $200 purchase mistake lolz. My budget is $200 for roller skates and I am at a loss as to what to choose hahahahaha. ~~~~~~~~~ THANK YOU!!!!
Goes to show how much i know! I've been braking wrong my whole life! I'm a semi-frequent patron of a roller rink and every time i tried braking I would put one foot in front of the other and put that foot on my toe to hit the brake pad! That rarely worked so I'd simply slam into the wall near the exit to stop instead of actually stopping :) Next time I go (if they open up again after this is all over) I'll have to try it this way!
I got my first skates today! I watched this before I got em but I completely forgot everything when I first put them on and nearly did the splits 😂 but my uncle & brother were there holding me to support ^^^ so here I am re-watching this :D
P.S. "Ooooh, it's like a bubble-swivel-switcha-dippa-doo" LMAO DEAD!
Whe else is watching all of these while waiting for their skates to come!
Indy, thank you soooo much for creating your fun, really helpful videos. I’m an ice skating coach, edging toward retirement. I thought about converting an older pair of boots to inline snowwhite blades. But instead, I ordered Moxi Lollies and they arrived last evening. I plan to take my time finding the sweet spots of balance and the basics. I’ve been all around the house and can stop, balance on my right foot, swizzle forward and backward, march and do small strides. My insides want to fly down the street but I’m going to take my time. Lots of time!! Anyway….thank you, thank you, thank you. You’re a lot of sunshine and joy.
You inspired me to buy my first pair of roller skates in 35 years...Amazing! Thanks so much for the videos!
THANK YOU SO MUCH! This was really helpful especially the lesson on how to go forward with your feet pointing outward. When my friend and I went roller skating we were literally shuffling in place cause our feet were forward the whole time 😂😂😂
Haha I was amazed when I learned too!
I got roller skates because i saw how awesome you're and it's also a workout♡♡♡
This makes me feel like I can learn
Indy Jamma Jones, you are my family's new favorite celebrity. My 2 daughters and I got skates at Christmas and just broke them out this weekend. Thanks to you and Planet Roller Skate, we are all moving forward, and 2 of us are moving backward, pretty reliably. Thank you thank you thank you!!!
This is amazing !!! Can you guys do one on how to spin (: I been trying to learn that!
yessss do a spinning one!
This one is very high on the list, hopefully soon :)
Leah Hope . hey ... hey verb
How you keep your legs from cramping, besides strectching? i tend to get stiff naturally, which gradually makes my legs feel like pins and needles. and swords.
Works a Germany.
This is SO helpful. All your videos are 10/10. THANK YOU! ALL YA'LL! xx
Am I the only one here sitting on a chair with roller skates?
Just me ok 😢
ZaraC 14 that’s me rn tbh
Same!
Meeee
Nah I’m on the couch
I'm on the bed ;-;
Indy & Pigeon - I started roller skating this June and everything I have learned was thanks to your films. First thing I mastered was falling down:) and I really appreciate it. Thank you, thank you :****
THANK YOU ! I am just starting (at age 43) in my apartment, and I figured I need some help, thanks for your advice, like this I can keep practicing. I startet practicing with my office-chair that has wheels, pushing it in front of me ;) Thought I share this just to make you smile :D
Really great tutorial. I'm pretty intermediate and at first I thought all of the tutorial was going to be very basic beginner. I've recently started doing T stops and I had no idea it was more efficient to use all four wheels. can't wait to see more on this channel 😊
Yay so glad this helped! When I was learning T-stops I even exaggerated by putting the weight on the back wheels like I showed.
I was thinking of buying moxi skates so I can do flips and things then I saw the prices I’ll stick to my old skates
Good starter moxi skates r beach bunny skates, still a bit pricey but amazing
try candi skates, they're more affordable
trust me when i say they are worth it! you never want cheap skates, especially if you're planning on outdoor usage like on sidewalks (this is from experience lol) .. i understand cheap is lovely when the product is good, but it's usually not the case ):
You girls so pretty! We love you, the music and ROLLERSKATING!! 💚💕💥
I found this channel around a year ago and I binged all your other videos and after that automatically begged my mom to buy me skates. And now after so much time I finally ordered some skates this weekend and now I'm rewatching this so I can be prepared. You guys got me into this stuff and it's just so cool.
You guys taught me how to roller skate on concrete. Thank you so much! I taught myself how to roller skate in rinks, using some of your tricks aswell. You also inspired my friend and I to get skates and give it a go. I thank you so much for inviting me and my BFF!!
Me: a skateboarder, never roller skates in my life and not planning to
Also me: *How to Roller Skate*
You guys are so helpful and your energy is infectious!
I just bought roller skates yesterday. Is started a few days ago with rollerskating on some old skates i bought at a flee market for 2 euro's and left in a box for 2 years after that. They broke on the second day, but I was so hooked! I didn't need long to decide to buy new ones. Can't wait to try them out!
Chac Chan yesss so happy to hear this! Hope you find some good ones :)
I did! Eventually. The pair I bought had a defect. So I bought an other more expensive pair at a skate shop. They are just plain black ones but I am planning on giving them a make over. Thanks for the reply!
i haven't skated in 15 years and wanted to learn again. your spirit and instruction have been so helpful in this process. thanks indy!
This is a great video! I am just getting back into skating after 23 years of not skating. I'm having so much fun. I found your channel when I was looking for how to change my bearings in my wheels. Then this one and it was very helpful to frefresh my memory of how to skate.
Totally brill, I'm new to roller skating and this is the MOST actually helpful (and fun) how to type video. X Thanks to you I'm a lot less Bambi than I used to be !
I'm loving these vids so much! been following the Moxi team for ages. One day I'll make it to long beach! It's so hilly where I live so outdoor skating is limited to skate parks. I dream of being able to skate to work! Thanks for the tips ❤
Chloe Cook hills are pretty fun to skate down too! Maybe a tutorial soon??
IndyJamma Jones yes please! I dream of skating this one near me that has just been re-done. so smooth!
I wanna be a Moxi girl! I'm on a junior roller derby team and wanting to shred the parks!
PepperEEka we are looking for new skaters to join the team now! Check out #madeformoxi on instagram.
PepperEEka HMU 👀
I bought my skates 5 months ago, first time I tried I did really bad stuff and hurted my back, now I'm trying again and thank for you gals, it's the second day and I can transfer my weight very well. THANK U
Best intro to roller skate ever! Good job Indy!!!
