Hello, I just added links to protective gears in the description! Unfortunately, my elbow pads are sold out everywhere :( I was able to find something very similar made of soft shell like the one I have. Thank you for stopping by!
Ur wrong when u said that u were just stepping one feet at the time. U have to press apart if u want to go forward/backwards, its just how the natural laws work. I taught a 3 and 4 year old how to do it when i was 7, it was so fun teaching someone else something i liked to do
@Atlas Asher yup, I've been using InstaFlixxer for since november myself :)
Don’t be afraid of falling falling is good it just means that you did something wrong and not to do it that way
@@harrykenneth7807 lies - scam
Wow you're really good, i want to learn heel toe.. struggle is real
Rollerblading is one of those hobbies that makes you look cool, and also keeps you active. Welcome to this awesome community!
Cheers!
That’s the first time I’ve heard anyone describe it as looking “cool” lmao
@@headphonic8 aggressive rollerblading eventually died out in 2002 but its pretty impressive if they jump 2-3 meters and do a 360'
@@bernsahr Isn't it coming back or am i wrong?
It’s healthy and fun LMAO
I started rollerblading at 14yrs old. I stopped at 28 because I got pregnant. After 3 C-sections and three beautiful children at 38 I bought some skates and now I skate every chance I get in between homeschooling, cooking, and laundry. Helps me keep my sanity 😁
Omggg me too I started very young and literally have 3 kids now I just started again in 2019!
Welcome back!!
That’s very impressive restarting rollerblading 😊
Me too… I stopped skating many years ago, now I have 2 kids & just coming back into skating, I feel like I have relearn .. it’s exciting though!
That's Milf status. Send it! 🤙
I learnt to ride them when I was 6 years old. I was naturally gifted I believe because barely after 10 minutes I was balancing, making turns and using brakes. It went on for next 4 years after which I wanted to participate in competitions but my parents couldn't afford the competition training fees so I stopped. I'm 25 today and I started riding them again, but this time no one can stop me. Whoever is reading this, don't you ever give up :)
good luck!!
You are from India? ?
Wha I’m 11 years old and I just got them well good for u
I'm 56 and just started again after 30 years having a ball
I am a similar age to you and I am getting them for my birthday next week
Let me tell you, as a 22 year old learning this, I am even more fearful. I look horrible, like a duck waddling on ice with my skates on the wrong edges whilst I flap my arms around in distress. You looked so composed and graceful...I really need some instruction. Man, skiing is so much easier. 😫
@mo poppe thanks for the advice! I will try to do that. I'm used to horseback-riding but that requires completely different balancing and muscle groups (apparently). Maybe I just lack natural talent for skating. Do you have any advice on how to do turns? Just turn around a corner. I can't figure out on which leg my weight should be and if it should be in the ball of the foot or the heel or somewhere between.
I also looked like a duck in the beginning but it's all part of the process! You got this!!
@mo poppe thank you so much!!! I will check out the recommended channels and work on my balance and muscles. So glad for all the help I have received. 😇😇😇 Have a nice day.
Are you doing inlines or quads? I’ve never skated or done many sports in my life so this is very new to me too.
I was told for C turns lean my feet to the side while also turning my hip and shoulder in the direction I wanna go. This happens when I’m already moving though otherwise I FALL.
And this is like 3 weeks in where I’m trying to learn to turn, before I wasn’t comfortable with doing strides at all 😆
We all progress at our own speed though so I’d say not to get discouraged! I’m really bad at being active and only started recently so if I can do it then so can you!
Also tutorials I’ve been following it Debbie’s Dirty School of Skate. The beginner tuts emphasize a lot on proper posture which is amazing and looked over in a lot of other tutorials I find.
My mother started this month she is 41 years old
It's so heartbreaking for me to hear how you tear yourself down through almost the whole video, despite you made such a good and huge progress! You should be proud of yourself and be more kind to yourself. You wouldn't talk like that to your best friend, if they tried this challenge, right? You did great! 🙏❤️
Oh and my fear of falling almost disappeared when I bought protective pants (they have thick foam protectors)
its not that deep bro
We don't talk about Bruno.
its so easy after you work yourself off that's why hard works pays and yeah its a dissatisfactions that some people give up because i want them to keep going on the in-line skating and put effort the tricks are the best its worth putting all ur pain to it.
I picked up rollerblades again for the first time since I was a little kid (now 28) and I must say that it’s so deeply humbling going back out to do something you remember you used to be good at and finding that you can barely keep your balance. It really is frustrating, so I can definitely sympathize with the difficulties you had at the beginning here
I've been rollerblading for about a month or two now and I wish that I could be where you're at. Having someone to help/or at least learn with you really does help. Im unfortunately skating by myself all the time and its taking much more time to learn
There's nothing wrong with going at your own pace! You got this!!
I'm sorry to give you this information but it will take 5 hours per day for five years if you want to be really good on inline skates. You can't escape the 10 000 hour rule. Not matter how much you try - you will not be able to do it. I shall give only exception to those people who do gymnastics, ice skating, dancing, or genetic freaks. These people can learn much faster. The rest of you have no chance at all even after 4 years of skating every day you won't be up there with the best by a long way. The person who made this video CANNOT skate.
@@silverbloom6233 It's the best way to learn. If you need someone else then its not the sport for you.
@mo poppe These are REALLY wise words. I've skated for 30 years both ice hockey and long-distance inline skates and there is absolutely nothing more important that ONE-FOOT balance. And you will find that in order to get both left and right one-foot balance you need balanced and very good CORE muscles. Mo poppe - you hit the spot, you really know what you are talking about. You should be a sports instructor.
@@SK-ow4vw skating isn't about being the best, for everyone. Some of us skate because it's fun, and we like learning new things. 👍
Me and the girlfriend, 33 and 30, have just started. The paths in Ireland are so bad it's making it really difficult. You're lucky you have such good infrastructure.
Me and my boyfriend are also starting and we’re also in Ireland! Trying to think of places that we can go that have smooth paths and I’m struggling. Thinking about car parks in the middle of the night but even then there’s random potholes 😒
Their walkways are so smooth 😭I live near Belfast, there's hardly any flat areas near me so learning is a literal uphill battle
The smooth pavement struggle is realll
These cobblestones are soo tough! The towpaths on the canals are pretty good though
I'm from the North! Northern Ireland, I'm lucky to live right beside a leisure center that has an empty car park every night but if you ever head to Belfast, titanic quarter is perfect for skating!
I'm almost 33 and totally understand the fear of falling. Something that's really helped me is to gear up and practice falling safely in the grass. Forwards, backwards, all of it. There are some great UA-cam videos out there about "falling correctly." This can help train up your muscle memory to help you when the time comes - falling is definitely just part of the sport. Also, allowing myself to "fall on my own terms" has improved my mental game, which leaves me better prepared when I'm out skating in the world.
This is honestly super encouraging and inspiring! I used to rollerblade a lot in my teens, lost interest, and now at 31, I really want to get back into it! I just bought some new skates (and still waiting for my helmet and pads to come). But it makes me so happy to see other people in their 30s picking up new hobbies/interests and doing fantastic at it!
I am in my 40s… so 30s is not too old
I used to blade all the time when I was in grade school and middle school..lost interest in high school once I could drive. Now I’m 39 with 4 kids and I started doing it again with my kids, plus I go to an adult skate night every week at a local rink. It’s been a blast! People need to stop having the attitude that you can’t do these types of things as get older.
Another 30yolder here :) my husband got me a pair for my 33th birthday happy that im not the only one!!
She really said

When she first tried the toe heel thing
But I don't blame her I'd probably do the same 😂
this is my favorite comment
@@LenaxBasco thanks for the pin 😂 glad it made you laugh
When I was still learning the basics I had wounds on my wounds on my knees. Don't fear falling, embrace it.
I've been skating since 2001, and I still fall. But I always get up and skate again
Wear pads!! Including crash pads for your tail bone!
Embrace your mangled knees, when you could have prevented it. When would you realise that getting injured on a previous injury is a good time to use pads?
@@dariomanson5697 I didn't say "wound yourself intentionally". If you wear pads my point of not fearing falling still stands. Btw, I got pads in the same period I was referring to and still managed to wound my knees anyways as the way I fell made them slip back.
Ofc I don't use pads anymore, unless I'm doing something new and stupid as I got comfortable on the skates.
Point is, you are making assumptions and twisting my words and you get on your high horse about safety equipment of all things. What a pu$$y.
Use protective gear please 💞 you can also get shorts with butt pads! No need for wounds or broken bones 🤩
Escape the fear: learn to fall. Also for not healing. It does take time so training is better than crashing into objects. Especially moving objects.
I'm 22 years old. My mom bought me inline skates 5/6 years ago and I joined skating classes but I gave up on it pretty soon. I was the oldest member there in the class there were 7-11 year olds kid who could skate so easily and looked so cool doing it. But here I was awkward and stiff I couldn't no matter what and I had a massive fear of falling (I still do). A few days ago I found my old skates and felt so horrible thinking how I had given up so fast in the past. Actually it's always been there in the back of my mind. I wish I had less of an ego back then. So now I'm trying to learn from the scratch. Your video motivated me so much. Thank you ❤️
Good to know I am not alone. This video made me realised I need to keep trying and trying…. Let’s encourage each other to go on!
This was awesome to watch & relatable, cuz I'm in my 30's too, so it's refreshing to see a 30 yr old just talk about being in your 30's and the fear of falling due to the bones and joints, those are my fears too :/ I used to roller blade as a teenager, was so much fun, loved it more than roller skating, the speed is just BETTER!!! I used to ice skate as a child, and whatever ice skating moves i knew I applied it to roller blading, was fun, and I miss those days
thank you! It's definitely different learning at an "older" age, but just as fun!!
I'm 28 and feel the same... I'm re learning how to skate, and I feel like I'm not improving because I'm so scared of falling 😅 besides, I have no instructor :(
It is not as awesome as you might think.
@@jimenanonato4048 there are lots of good learning videos here on UA-cam! :-)
I'm 16 and it seems like in my opinion younger people aren't that afraid to fall or do stuff on their skates. I use roller skates and I'm not scared at all lol, I just go for it and practice even if I fall a hundred times a day. But everyone is different ofc :D but it's so much fun to skate
As someone who started driving those with only 4 years old, I note, you make massive progress! Keep it up! I have been driving inline skates for almost 9 years now and I think ur progress is awesome, for only 31 days of practise.The most amazing thing about inline skating, in my opinion is actually the freedom you have while you skate but also the cool stuff you can do with them. Really a big love.
Im so ambitious that ive tried to learn everything in a day.
Hehe
It is refreshing to know I am not the only one who starts to skate again at 30, I started this week it was fun and terrifying at the same time because I did not remember how to stop or turn but it has been the best decision I have made in years and my thigh they are still sore.
Kids these days won't understand the AOL dial up tone! I'm only 24 but the internet makes me feel like I'm too old to do a lot of things already, so this is a really fun series idea. I started inline skating last summer as well so this was a relatable video!! Definitely dusting off my skates today
They don't know the struggles of dial up!
there is this woman and she’s 74 and she’s rollerblading so good
I just bought my first pair of inline skates since I was a child... last night, on a whim, at 34 years old... and this made me feel just a little less insane for it? lol Thank you for sharing your journey!
Thinking of doing the same!!!!! How have u been doing at it ?
I hope you receive a lot of success with this new series! This is super inspiring!! :)
thank you so much Henna!
I feel so much better knowing that I'm not the only one struggling. I used to rollerblade all the time as a kid. It's probably been 20 years since the last time I put on rollerblades. I just bought a pair (the same ones you have, actually) and have done two days and my legs hurt sooooo bad. I didn't think it would be so hard having skated before. Nope. The fear of falling as an adult is very different from the fear of falling as a kid. Haha! My street has a ton of cracks. I feel like it would be easier if I can find a slightly smoother surface to get comfortable on again first.
Loving how in depth you go about every aspect of your experience.
I skated this afternoon for the first time in 21 years. Meeting up with a group of old school skaters Saturday to hurl ourselves around some ramps. Plasters at the ready!
Wow when I first saw this video was 15 minutes I was totally expecting to just click away after seeing you skate for a bit (as I'm a new beginner) but I really loved the editing and storytelling and honesty in the way you speak! I'm really glad I found your channel! I'm excited to see what other videos you've made :)
kictor jumpscare ??? it's so weird seeing you on non-mxtx videos LMAOO
I started skating when I was 8,at one point it was like breathing to Me, but i stopped when I started high school at 11 but I got chronically ill at 12 and now im 18 and my balance is awful and my muscles are shot. My 7 year old sister is trying to pick it up so I got a new pair of skates and am going back to basics
You got this fighting (ง ͠° ͟ل͜ ͡°)ง ❤❤
Keep fighting! 🤍🤍
Fighting 💓, BTW I started it at 5
I skated in my childhood and am picking it up like 15 yrs later, and I also went into it overconfident in my ability even tho its been so long 😅 thanks for sharing this, its so cool to see how you picked up all those tricks! I'm still working on how to slow down on hills and overcome my fear of falling too at this age lol
Thank you!! You're very brave for working on coming down hill! I just avoid them 🙃
This is amazing progress for only 30 days. I picked up figure skating at age 31 and also tried out rollerblading during quarantine when rinks were closed. Even with about a year of ice experience, it was still scary skating on wheels at first. The good thing is that you adjust pretty quickly and should be able to do most of the same skills on both. I highly recommend learning crossovers on ice as it hurts less to fall. Idea for your next challenge?
Thank you for this video! I bought a pair of inline skates a few weeks ago and have been trying to learn and this has been great to give an idea of what kind of things I can aim for as a beginner. It's also very motivational - you achieved a lot in those 30 days! :)
I just got a new pair after eleven years! I can't wait. Thank you!!
Oooo this is such a nice overview of what tricks are good to learn for beginner-intermediate skaters! Thanks!
Well done! You learned quickly. It is great cardio. I stopped blading for 20 years n never thought I will be on one again until a friend convinced me to get one. Glad that I did. It is so much fun! Enjoys and stay safe!
Loved watching your journey! Gotta admit,
It looks so much fun having people there to support and help you! I’m trying to learn skating as well, but it’s mostly by myself
Video is so cozy and sincere, waiting for more!
roller blading is fun in every way ive seen... like whenever i see ur vid i get brave and try to skate as fast as i can... this has been the most fun i've had... u made me feel brave and thank you for the amazing vid!
Oh I love seeing your progress! I can’t wait to see more
This is really inspiring! Been wanting to get back into rollerblading, and it's great to see someone's progression, and be able to plan out a bit how I want to tackle improving at it.
I was thinking the exact same thing! To see the progression of someone is so motivating.
I'm so glad to see someone in their 30's doing this! I'm in my 30's and wondered if I was too old to pick up something I did when I was a kid in the 90's. I just bought my first pair or quad roller skates as an adult and was on Amazon looking at reviews to see if ppl were buying skates for themselves or their kids. Seems a lot of ppl were adults picking it back up or for the first time and I felt in good company :)
Loved the video and concept :) Great progress in only a month! Keep going!
I loved to watch your progress👏🏻 Girl, you should be proud of yourself
This is actually so motivating!!! Remind me of last summer when I started learning roller-skating and felt proud of my progress of being able to move forward😑But now I feel I'm so lame, I just gave up when trying to do tricks cuz it's so hard, you’re AMAZING!!! So determined and talented👻
YES YES YES what a fantastic series! I love everything about it
thank you 💛
I'm 28 and just took up aggressive rollerblading again a month ago. I did it in my teens for a few years, but everything is so much more painful now, and I get tired and ache so easily! Keep up the good work and I'm sure you will get over your fear of falling eventually. I actually got some padded shorts as well as my other protective gear, and it made me way more confident to try new stuff.
So inspirational. I remember 90s as time of bright blue sky, skyscrapers, dance music and rollerblades. Realy happy for you.
To overcome fear of falling, it is key to learn how to fall. To do so, fall without skates and with your protective gear, first on soft ground. From there progressively make it harder, do it with skates. Then with skates rolling...
Once you know how to fall in every situation, you are less afraid of falling and your mind is free to think about technical stuff. Good luck!
I was trying to do the heel-toe spin thingy, and I suck at it. Watching this gave me motivation :)
Awesome and congrats! You're doing great on your comeback! It's fascinating how many people are becoming reacquainted with various activities during the COVID-19 lockdown that they haven't engaged in for many years. Keep up the great job! Cheers!
Omg yes yes yes to the weaving your legs in and out at around 6:47 I do that almost every time I skate and it builds up muscle and endurance SO MUCH!
loved this!
Amazing progress video! So brave to do all those tricks within just 30 days! 😳
You think it's hard to learn this at 30? ... try 50.
I mean the fear of falling and hurting yourself is so much stronger ... you won't believe it.
Thanks for a motivational video!
Fear of falling is already strong when you are an adult, period.
I’m only 27 but I have fibromyalgia so falling has been a huge fear when skating for me as well. But it’s fun for all ages! Excited to get back into it 🤍
And I'm learning this at 10 yrs old
@@Supremepikachu Older you become, lesser your ability to heal any trauma. At 50+ injury may just dont heal at all, and stay with you forever, especially joints trauma. You just can't heal yourself and can't afford hurt yourself like when you being yonger years.
@@MetaJamm Won't be an issue in the future. Isn't even a big issue anymore nowadays, so cut the bullshit lol.
I love your journey and am looking forward to seeing more of your progress later on!
Thanks for this video, exactly what I was looking for!
Thanks for the video. I am also in my 30s, learned how to inline skate when I was a kid in the 90s, and just picking it back up. That new fear is REAL. I need to learn how to stop at high speeds. Really appreciate how dedicated you were. I'll be attempting to get out there everyday now and build those skills and my glute/core muscles.
same here! skate in my teen years in the 90's and stopped because of yeah life, work and stuff. im 33 this year and starts to inline skate again. glad im not the only one reliving my teen hobbies ✨️
Thank you for sharing your 30-30 journey. You are doing great. Keep challenging yourself.
Today is my 31st day of learning inline skating. I started to learn inline skating on April 7, 2021 with a little x-country skiing experience. It's been one whole month I have been teaching myself skating. So far I got really good balancing on my left foot and working on the balancing on my right foot.
I am a long distance hiker use to solo hiking. The idea to learn inline skating came to my mind was March 31 this spring. I would like to hike a 900 kms trail which overnight camping is not permitted. The plan is hiking from where my vehicle is parking and skating back to the starting points daily. Sleeping in my vehicle and do resupply every 6-7 days. To double yo-yo hike-skate this trail would take 60 - 70 days.
I guess by the time this fall, I will be able to hike the trail with my skates. Btw, I am a 59 years old man.
This was so fun to watch, you do an amazing job! A note for your arms: in figure skating we talk about 2 things: hips under your body (which can help prevent that hunched over posture) and keeping your hands on your "tabletop" in front of you! having your hands out in front you of you can actually tremendously help your balance and your posture as well
Thanks for showing the “learning” side of the sports. That’s explains why I didnt succeed, because I stop trying. This video really helps
This is so cool. Thanks for sharing the progress. :)
This video is what I needed to watch today!
My wife and I started roller skating at 36. Thank you for the inspirational video, it gives us the force to move forward.
I love this !! Can't wait to see more
thank you Sandi💛
this makes me want to pick up rollerskating again!! Maybe this summer I’ll try a 30 day challenge too !!
yes do it!!
Do it, I just picked some up and I’m addicted!
I so appreciate you showing your whole process in such intimate and honest detail! I'm 33 and wanting to get back into rollerblading for the first time since the 90s and your video is really helping me have some more realistic expectations and inspired to stick to it and be present with the journey. (I learned to snowboard over the last couple seasons as well and I totally agree, being this age learning this stuff is scary as heck! but I want to face it too and be free and fun. 💗)
your editing is so fun! love it haha. this makes me want to pick up stuff i did when i was younger now
I absolutely love this concept, so excited to follow along! I used to rollerblade as a kid too and loved it, maybe I should I pick up the habit again :-)
Thank you😊You should try it again it's so fun!
Thanks for being so inspiring. I just fell that day on my butt after not skating for 10years and it hurts like hell. But definitely will go back to basics and try to do it right. Would you mind sharing which UA-cam videos you watch?
This is a great video. Thanks for sharing. I skate with a group in my city twice a week. Love it
Found this video since I got my skates today, at 31, and was a skater as a kid. I put them on and wow, it was humbling. This video is like a mirror image of where I'm at day 1 and would like to be at. Thank you! This is very encouraging
I just bought mine yesterday lmfao that’s why I’m watching this
I found my old pair so Im with ya homie :)
@@K_8T hi is it normal that the rollerblades are like tight at the ankles? Like my ankles are kinda painful when i put them on ( also im a beginner )
@@slma7305 Depends on the type of roller skating you get. I have a hardboot inline skating set and they are very tight on the ankles because that's their design for beginners/intermediates. If you're past the slow + falling over stages then in my personal experience it's best to get a breather boot(that is if they're removable). Also good reminder to not try and skate every day as that builds up major pain if you're a beginner
@@slma7305 Also try bending them or stretching them with tennis balls or with your hands. They might be mint fresh and hard. A little wear will help
@@K_8T thanks a lot ! that's really helpful :)
love this!! i love that you documented your progress for 30 days too (: inspires me to do the same since i'm still learning. hoping to come anywhere close to your progress after 30 days
Ahh thank you!
Honestly, it will take 5 hours per day for 5 years for you to become talented in inlines skates. There is no short cut. Forget 30 days this is still the absolute beginner level.
I like how you spend lots of time on each technique and show yourself doing it. I am learning now and will be practicing some of these.
I’m 33 and just bought my first pair of in-line skates since the 90’s, to keep my sanity in Sydney lockdown! So good to see other 30-something’s giving this a go! Wish me luck :)
Nice job - I'm getting back into rollerskating, I'm 38 and haven't been skating for 20 something years 😆
I love that youre wearing a helmet😍
“Watch me disappear” 🤪😅 I felt that girl.
Lena, I really enjoy it! I love the video.
I am proud of what you achieved. I will achieve it too!!
Such an inspiring video. 💪🏼
Thank you 🙌
I have been thinking abt taking up inline skating but I am hella scared and just overall being in a rut when I don't want to do anything, especially if it smth new.
Thanks you for the video!
You should do it! One day at a time is the trick😀
niceee, welcome to the skating community :)
I started skating June 2020, started by learning the L stop, then turning, power stop, crossovers, magic slide, power slide and now backwards crossovers. practiced almost everyday cos it was so fun
What I would recommend is getting skates with a hard plastic boot (urban? skates) and metal (aluminium/magnesium) frames. Really gives you much more control and is safer ig (Less chance of losing control and twisting your ankle). Also helps a lot with balance (which is EVERYTHING. right!!).
I use the FR1 skates modified by heat gun (for pressure points on the inner side of feet) with hydrogen 80mm wheels
i love this. please do more on this series!!!
That’s amazing progress! I’ve done it for months and I’m nowhere near you. For how long did you practice everyday? Any advice you could share? Thanks
Great video! I'm 49 and just started learning, two days ago. As a kid, I spent every Wednesday skating on quads, but honestly I think this has hurt the transition more than it has helped, because my instinct is to brake with the toes. I also spent a week or two ice-skating, many years ago. Not enough time to get good, but enough that it's helped me a little.
So anyway, at 49 years-old and being the main bread-winner in our household, I don't want to get over-confident and break anything (I tend to have more courage than sensibilities) so I'm forcing myself to slow it down a little, but I'm making reasonable progress so far. (I totally suck at stopping. So far my go-to strategy is to just aim for the neighbor's well-manicured lawn and hope I don't break any bones.)
Your video was a great help, because it helped answer exactly the question I had, so far as what to expect in terms of progression Sure, I realize everyone is different, but it gives me a rough baseline to aim for and sets realistic expectations.
Once I get proficient at this, I may have to dust off the unicycle I bought three years ago. lol
I love this video so much, I didn’t start rollerblading yet but I will once I get my blades. This is a encouraging and never give up video you did a great job
We LOVE to see a new inliner!! Welcome to the club :)
Welcome to the community! Suprised to see the order which you learned tricks, kinda confusing and missing out a lot of tricks to make the steps to a new trick smaller. But the ones you did, were awesome!
Thank you!
Great 30-day journey. Also wanted to say I'm a fan of the camera work, editing, lighting, transition pace, and even the 90s themed intro. The production really stands out. Do you do all of the editing on the videos?
Ahh thank you so much!! I edit all my videos :D
Hello!
I used to roller blade when I was in elementary and in middle school.
I recently purchased roller blades at 26 and went skating for the first time in years! I was a little upset for not being able to do everything I was able to do before but it’s been years so I can’t be hard on myself.
The pushing out exercise is exactly what I need to practice.
Thank you for sharing this 💜
As a 34 yo who just picked up rollerblading again, this is so inspiring to see! Thanks for sharing your journey!
you seem to learn some things almost naturally haha. look at those moonwalks. well done lady. keep doing it, it's fun
Your lockdown experience is in some ways similar to mine. Lockdown also gave me the opportunity to focus on my technique and develop artistic skating skills. Like me in the beginning, you realise that your technique was really poor up to a certain point. And then you take all the advice, correct your basic stride and go miles from there. I hope that you continue your skating journey, wish you all the best! (Side note: if you are particularly scared of falling onto your butt, crash pads like G-Forms are great)
Will definitely look into those pads!
I used to ride a bit of skates when I was younger but now I've picked it up again in my 30s as well. I have the same fear, but it gets slightly better the more i train and the more relaxed i am moving in them. Your video was motivating for sure!
Just started watching videos about rollerblading and now I really want to advance my skills. I'm 19 and rollerbladed when I was a kid, I was pretty good at it too! Now I Ski, and want to try rollerblading again because this community seems really chill tbh. Thanks for the video!
When she explained the soreness... I felt that. Im in my 30's as well and i get sore from laying the eff lol. I feel you 😩. I love the video btw you explained in great detail and held me from every word. Thanks for sharing😀
Thank you!
I don't know if she did warmups before and stretches after the sessions, but those really help. Especially good warmup is a must in 30's, and even more so when learning because you are tenser during this period, and any fall while being all tense will hurt so much more and makes it a lot easier to damage some muscle and get sore.
This video made me buy inlines. It's so weird. I thought my rink experience on quads would translate fluently, but leaning in on turns is really different.
You are doing really great in just 30days. Hi, I am in my 50s, and I have just started to practice inline skate 2 weeks ago after seeing my nephew learning it. This is why I came across your channel. I was able to ride a 4wheel roller skate before in my childhood, and enjoy it very much, so I decided to go for this now, hope it is not too late. and of course , Thank you for your lovely video explaining how you go thru the process.
This is amazing!! You’re the same age as me and I only picked up rollerblading six months ago. Super inspiring for me to see this!! Thank you so much for uploading xx
Very inspiring video.
Trying to relearn inline skating as well, im 27.
Im still working on stopping and getting over curbs 😅
Curbs are my weakness too 😫
Ms. IS it okay to learn skating at 20's even if it looks unnecessary to my parent's generation,because even the age is just a number ,when we enter into different phases of life it'll be more difficult to do what we love😓
And recommend me the type of skates to begin with like four wheels on front and back or this kind of skating shoes.
really really love this video, exactly what i was looking for to see how I'm doing with my own attempt to get back into roller blading as someone who did it + ice skating as a kid and is now being hit with a lot of frustrations because i can't just hop back on and still be just as good. Strength training taking a whole week was especially great to know and I think now I've got much more reasonable expectations for my progress. Desk jobs do not a muscular body make!
I'm so inspired by this video, it convinces me to try inline skating, thanks
I took my brake out and can’t put it back in 😭 so I think I’ve psyched out. I KNOW I rarely fall or need to stop. But at the same time not having brakes makes me paranoid 😩😂
Learn other ways to stop without them
