Can these skills also be applied to quads? Is there any difference?
Nice toetoorial . 👍
Nice Gardening gloves buddy :-)
I started skating a month and l am learning way to fast
it took me a while but im starting to get it 😅
Excellent tutorial, only started skating last summer, I've wanted to learn to skate backwards so that I can impress the Grandkids (I'm 60), cant wait to get out again 🤙👍
Good luck grandpa
@@StudyabroadWithAbhilasha thx 🤙
Get elbow, knee and wrist guards.
They help a lot.
@@Bow-to-the-absurd already kitted out, thx 🤙
Woahh-!! I'm impressed-!
Currently 7am, I have not slept because I was just on my phone watching skating stuff all night.
we've all been there xD
@@rollforever_85 yes we have hahaha
@@rollforever_85 im there 2 atm... waiting for my Twister Edges to arrive and beeing hyped for the first drive :D
me: 1:31 pm and watching this insted of working. Smooth inline skating vid tuts + skating withdrawals = no work done for another 2 hours. .... aaaaand just subscribed....
But you already have Rollerskate?
You are the Bob Ross of inline skating🙌🏻
I thought this before, haha
“And now we’re gonna stride on the left side too, cause every stride needs a friend.”
"So now we are gonna come over here, and our foot is gonna follow our other foot! Like happy little friends"
When you break some bone remember…“There’s no mistakes, just happy little accidents”
@@mela3018 "That blood on the ground looks amazing and it adds color to the pavement, remember, there are no mistakes, just happy little accidents, and it makes art beautiful"
The “no skateboarding” sign on the wall. Lol
That's not skateboarding that's rollerblading ✋🏻
@@ekinerdem2088 exactly!
The rules need to be broken
@@ekinerdem2088 That's the point
Skateboarding is a crime.
Inline skating isn't.
Coming back to Shaun's tutorials after a year of practice and progress. Now better realising the level of skill and expertise this man has, it is truly magnificent how smoothly he is able to demonstrate every tiny step of the learning curve. People with this much skill and expertise usually forget the baby steps and skip to the shiny stuff and expect you to do the same which is frustrating and demotivating for the beginner. Shaun deserves a huge shoutout for his incredible ability to empathize and for keeping the "novice inside" still alive.
Absolutely perfect point. 100% agree with you
i literally have no questions after watching because he's already hit all the points
As someone who has been on ice skates since I was very young (playing hockey), and also has quite a bit of experience on inline skates, I find the basic skills, fundamentals, and edge control explained in this video to be very appropriate for it a beginner skater
Best tip for any beginner is to teach them to drop their weight in to their hips, rather than breathing air down into the lungs newbies draw air into the top of their lungs which pulls their weight up making them much more unstable.
@@mrpropergander6800 just now realizing my body does that breath thing, and how important that is. thanks
Amazing teaching. Very down to earth teacher. I like the: "uhh...getting better!"
Agreed
"As soon as I get a few butterflies..."
butterflies as I'm putting on my skates
😆 that’s me. I have those butterflies moments when I do my skating at night with my dog.
"butterflies" ? what? feel like shit lol
Lemons!!!
Sometimes I go a lil too far and it's that oops I went to far back while rocking my chair feeling and I get a not so mini heart attack
He's like a Father teaching his children.
Skate daddy
This comment made me laugh. 😂
He’s really really good at teaching.
Thank you Alex and Shaun. I am about 4 months from being a complete beginner and backward skating is what I have been working on for the last month. I'll be adding the C-carve exercise and will practice it backwards for a few days to ingrain the motion before attempting to powerslide for the first time. I am very excited to learn the powerslide and now feel ready for it.
I just want to reiterate my praise and thanks, you have broken things down wonderfully in this video and have shown a clear progression with something for everyone to practice.
This video is so helpful! I noticed a big improvement in my backward skating attempts after watching this
You are changing my life .. this breakdown is amazing and I'm practicing

Hi Shaun! Thanks for this video.
I like very much your method of teaching.
You are an inspiration.
Bye
Really awesome fundamentals tutorial, thanks so much for this
Honestly! Thank u so much for your videos. They're absolutely fantastic and so easy to follow!
I've spent the last few hrs on here watching other tutorials and yours are by FAR the best!
I've just bought a pair of skates/blades for the first time in about 22yrs (I have skated at a rink a couple times since then) but have been wanting my own.
As i kid/teen, i could never quite master going backwards from a stopped position and this video is going to help a ton and now I'm even more excited to get my blades tomorrow!
Thank you so much 💓🇳🇿
awesome video guys, super great teaching here.
Learned backward skating on my own, thanks to your video ... a superb detailed explanation.
Hey there, thankful greatings from Germany for that slow and down to earth tutorial.
Its way more basic than most and gives a feeling of really getting better from one baby step to the next.
Stay that way. Thanks
I have seen many backwards skating videos and I wasn’t able to do it until I saw this tutorial. The way you guide it step by step is amazing. Thank you so much 🙏🏻
Watched quite a few clips on skating and yours is the one I find most beneficial. It's so detailed but not at all boring. Great instructor.
This tutorial is perfection…!!! ❤️
Awesome explanation and step-by-step learning. I'm grateful that it is still online! 🙏😁
Best I've found yet for beginners
wow that was awesome thanks Shawn
Thanks You for the tutorial. I really wish more tutorials like this.
Thank you so much. You are amazing. I am in love with your teaching. You cannot imaging how grateful your class is. Again. Thanks.
The best backwards roller skating class ever. Shaun has a lot of teaching skills. Very , very good. Thanks
this is so good. I kept this video open on my laptop and was doing many practices during past week. now it feels I am ready for last parts starting from approx 13min. Brilliant.
What a great video, man! Thaks a lot for this lesson! Just wanna go out and try it righ now!
You're great at explaining, thanks for all the videos.
This is amazing! Thank you so much! I can't wait to get out and skate! Definitely wish I had a sweet surface like that to practice on.
This was great, really helpful and well explained. Thank you for taking the time to share!
Thx for an awesome tutorial really appreciate it ….I skated when I was young and now 30 plus years later picked it up again and your lessons are awesome and really a great help.
Comecei a andar de patins ontem e seus vídeos estão me ajudando muito. Thank you so much!
great video. will practice today
I'm at the A state of trying to skate backwards and this is so far the best video I could find to get further. Thank you!
Thanks for the detail. This is great
Hey ! I just started to learn how to skate, your overall teaching is helpful. Clam voice, right pace, explanation breakdown etc. Very helpful
You have a new fan. Thank you for a great video. I’m 31 and have just started skating again after 20+ years. Keen to master it this time.
Amazing tutorial, perfectly explained.🙏 When I think of backwards Flow skaters, you guys always come to mind, and Nicola, of course! His backwards flow is insane! 👌
Just came home for rollerblading and I succeeded in learning backward skating. All thanks to your tutorial. You are a great teacher!
Marvelous teaching! Thank you so much from Chile!!!
Thank you for the video! Very helpful 😊
AWESOME Shaun and Alex. I learnt this from you guys about two years ago and I was naturally good looking over right shoulder so I only ever skated backwards looking over my left and levelled my left to be as good as right but I still naturally look over right when I have speed, Also your one footed backwards lesson in another tutorial is the best for backwards balance. Fantastic to see some more tutorials from you. Keep up the great work cause if you can make this 50 year young man as good as I am in two years you can and probably have taught so many people so again keep up the great work you do!!!
The most helpfull tutorial . Thank you so much from Spain
Really great way of teaching. Thanks a lot for this video
Excellent….. thanks. Happy new year
awesome instructional video!
This is exactly what I needed. Awesome.
Thank you! It's a perfect guide video for backwards skating. Now I have a little confidence for practicing.
This is super helpful. The first year of skating I basically just skated around town, no practicing of technique. This year, I'm really going to learn all the fundamentals. Texted myself this video. Thanks Shaun and Alex!
probably the best video i've seen learning how to inlineskate backwards. thank you so much! it's for me and my 6 year old son.
excellent - haven't skated in over 20 years and i never really nailed the fundamentals. videos like this help massively
first of all, brilliant, broken down extremely well and I feel like i could implement all these things and eventually develop my own style once the fundamental things are in place! so thank you for that, secondly the case study of your camera guy was an amazing bit of footage, the sense of speed whilst making it look so effortless was incredible! and third and final thing, your beard is awesome! have a nice day
Thanks guys for this great tutorial. Back skating has been a challenge for me.....after watching the video I feel confident I can do it 💪🏼👍🏼
Just came home from rollerblading and I succeeded in learning this skill. All thanks to your tutorial! You are cool. I even learned to look back two sides
Wonderful lesson. Thank you a lot for the videos!!!!
I’m in love with your skate space
Omg! Thanks so much for that!
I’m trying to teach my son to skate backwards. And you’re saying just the right words to express what feels easy for me and hard for him. Thanks a lot!
Amazing tutorial! Thank You!!
Thank you for this careful progression. I am a beginner skater and needed this gradual instruction. Cant wait to practice this.
It's so good to see that Safety is important in your videos!!! So crucial to wear a helmet, hard to recover from a head injury. Excellent tips and transition in explaining the steps.
Thank you very much Shon!!! This was my dark side of rollerblade. Now i know how to improve my backmove!! Namaste🙏
Thank you. I have been skating ever since I was 5 and this really helped.
Awesome tutorial!
Breathtaking demonstration I really enjoyed how this was broken down then pieced back together so gradually. Thanks v much!
Never seen such a great Tutorial!
