I'm pretty sure she just uses it for the people that criticize every time she doesn't. In professional dance/figure skating they don't use any of that. People on the internet are too soft.
I want to help normalize safety gear so skaters who want to wear it feel that they can, obviously it’s a personal choice but as a person teaching beginners I feel it’s my responsibility to advocate safety xx. I always wear full gear outside, concrete hurts. Happy rolling 💕🛼😀⭐️
Im a beginnner and i just learned how to skate forwards! Im so happy, and i’ve been watching you ever since. It was so frustrating at first but i realized i just had to lift each leg the moment i lose balance to switch the weight! Today, i started doing the bubbles backwards but i must admit it really needs some muscle control as it always makes me scared to lift my feet. I hope i can practice in a wider space like you do!
Sounds like you’re rocking it. Well done. We hire a local village hall, do you have any local skate groups on Facebook or Insta, perhaps you could hire a hall together to split the costs?
Such a good explanation. I watched so many other videos where they just move effortlessly and say stuff like “just move like THIS.” Ok, but what exactly is “THIS???” 😭
Skatie, these videos are so clear-cut and helpful! I started skating just over a month ago and I've grown so much just watching your tutorials! Thank you for opening up the world of skating to me. Keep up the great work!!
@@Skatie i mastered this as well as the downtown because of you. It wasnt easy but I can do this going around the rink now and people think im cool and want to be my friend since theyve seen me improve. You helped me so much ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you Katie! This is what I'm doing when I go backwards. It's not what I want to do but it's how I move backwards. I don't skate backwards correctly and it's frustrating. I want to skate backwards properly.
I’d you can do this you’re definitely getting the feel of backwards. Take your time abs make sure to put from the instep and keep your leg in front. You’ve got lots of backwards videos which may help your journey ua-cam.com/play/PLPHb4PtMjk0uyFho_zFMBVUnkzi7X7IQE.html
Your white skates with the metal plates you wear in your videos look so nice, what type of skates and plates are you using? Do they have good ankle support?
Thank you xx I wear a Risport boot on a roll-line plate. They are figure skates so very stiff with lots of support for landing and leaning on edges etc.
How do you do an emergency stop backwards without toe stops? My current skates have tight cushions for speed and no toe stops. I've kind of given up skating backwards. Applying toe stops while backward when there aren't any doesn't end well :)
I absolutely understand. Just work up to it. Do what you’re comfortable with and take your time xx. Once you start to feel it, it will improve each time. 💕🛼😀⭐️💕
When I try to do the 180 flourish, my front foot that’s doing an outside edge just kind of pivots me around and I just stop, instead of swirling around to keep going. What am I doing wrong?? 😅
Are you using the shoulders to lead the turn? It’s surprising how much the shoulder can take the rotation. Keep Practising, it can be tricky to get the edge deep enough, really press on those edges. If you’ve loosened your trucks and you’re still having trouble getting good edges you may find a softer cushion could make a difference.
I have a question for ya.... I was skating outside one day and then my wheels got really loose and they were moving back and forth on me.... how can I prevent that from happening.
@@russellstorms2674 oh that’s scary. Your wheel nuts should have a strip of nylon around the upper inside threads. That nylon piece needs to be below the axel. So axel should show above the nut. Sometimes if wheels are too deep the nut won’t go down far enough in this case you can flip the nut so the nylon is definitely locked on the axel. Alternatively the nylon piece could be worn so if it keeps happening you may need to replace the skate nuts.
@@Skatie thanks for your help and I appreciate that. And your comments. But if they are warn where can I buy the Lock nuts for my skates.... when I was at the roller rink last night I didn't have any problems with them last night. Do you have any suggestions.
@@Skatie thanks Skatie. That's something that applies to advanced skaterlike yourself. When I went to the shop to get fitted yesterday I was surprised how heavy the the boots/plates were. My admiration for quad artistic skaters increased 10 fold. I thought my old Harlicks were heavy. My concern is what is available to me is costing $569. for the Reidell set. It comes with plastic plates. If I want metal it's a different boot and $696. Reidell assured me with my weight (110#) plastic was fine lighter and o.k. even for jumps. What I don't get is the leather Moxy's are less expensive and come with metal plates and are made by Reidell too. It's confusing. Moxy's doesn't make white boots.
I can't even stand on my skates! The slightest movement when im standing can make the wheels move and me falling on my butt! I can skate but when i stop i need someone there to hold me so i can turn and skate again. Uhhhggg
You’ll get there. Take your time, find your balance. Remember to stand with your feet in a V when you’re standing still and keep tension in your legs to stop them from rolling away. You’re in charge. 🛼🛼💕⭐️
Your editing is a little too fast for learning here. Stay on the feet shot longer, don't cut away to full body shot when talking about feet/edges. And please keep including slow motion in every video. Thanks!
Thanks for the feedback. I think we’ve made some changes since this video as it’s one of our older ones and I agree. Too many changes can make things hard to follow
Thank you Katie. This is something I really needed...I've been wanting to add flourish to my backwards skating for a while now 💜
I do love a good flourish. 😉 ⭐️💕
Thank you for these excellent tutorials every week! It helps keep roller skating fresh for me
🛼💕😀⭐️
It's really good to see someone using the protection and awesome tutorial, thanks.

100%. You need to know edges, weight etc. it’s hard to tell what’s going on inside the boot.
Love this! Staggering was the key to skating forward and finding my edges - can’t wait to practice this going backwards
This is such a lovely flowing move. Have fun 😎🤩🛼💕⭐️
THIS! this is the one I need. I've been terrified of "stepping in". Thank you so much :)
Have fun 🛼🛼⭐️⭐️⭐️
This is exactly what I needed today! Going to try now 🏃♀️ Thank you!
Fantastic timing! Have fun 💕😀🛼⭐️
Oh. My. God. I think this will be the key to FINALLY unlocking my backwards skating. Yeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Ouch. It definitely doesn’t end well. I’ve just published a video on stopping without toe stops. ua-cam.com/video/1N38lm1POyA/v-deo.html
Can you do a video using the left foot behind anticlockwise
Which foot should our pressure be on
The weight needs to be mainly on the leg doing the momentum inside edge pull.
Up and a lot of love
💕🛼😀
I like how you describe how to backwards roller skate
😀🛼💕
I need to learn how to backwards roller skate

Ciao, tu tieni loosen anche le ruote posteriori? O solo quelle anteriori?
Yes. I think my front trucks are probably slightly looser than my backs but only a little.
Idea 💡 for your nxt video The Pendulum Dribble & drills to improve your Performance Pendulum Dribble
Great idea. Love the dribble.
Will it be harder to do outside as well
I’m always cautious with backwards outside as those stones can creep up!
@@Skatie oh ok but be careful though

Why do you use skates without toe stops sometimes?
The skates without toe stops are better for the rhythm / inplace moves as sometimes the toe stop gets in the way when doing toe manuals etc.
