i love when you make videos like these! I really want to do figure skating, but I live in Florida so it's a bit hard to find an ice skating rink that's near me so I decided to try out rollerblading. also, thank you so much for posting those other tutorials for beginners, it's really helped me.
Glad you have been enjoying the content. I'll post up more tutorials on inline skates when I have time and the British weather allows it 🙂 what inline skates did you get?
@@IceCoachOnline i got recreational inline skates. i've been learning crossovers for about the last week or so, and i'm really happy i'm improving on it. although i am terrified of falling and do have a little trouble motivating myself to believe that i can move on to the next level since i am teaching myself. do you have any tips with that?
@@lemonly4279 I'm in the same boat (hot location, no ice, self-teaching rollerblading). I found that I gain confidence when I am not focused on not falling. In fact, I sometimes purposefully do a controlled fall just to remind myself it's not bad; it's difficult to improve if you are afraid of making mistakes. Also, if you aren't wearing gear you should get some because that also will boost your confidence. Good luck!
@@lemonly4279 the best to feel safe is to be safe, wear ur gear!! even if you think it looks funny it’ll definitely take away a lot of that fear of falling. good luck!
I was a bit winded to be honest. But the real pain was felt in my wallet..... Those were new pants I was wearing and I ripped a hole in them immediately 😂
@@IceCoachOnline awww!!! Maybe you can get them patched up. Just like an old scar story, in the years to come you can tell about "that time" you slipped on your toe while stepping forward on these non toe-picked skates.
@@IceCoachOnline If i may, jeans are often the best to practice outside even if it can seem weird; it's comfortable and won't rip much. And under it i - sometimes - wear g form pads but there many brands, just look for some mountain bike pads. It's flexible, discret and without the ninja turtle look lol For people practicing triple or quad on the ice it could be useful too tho ^^
@@3y312un3 I often skate in Addidas Firebird trackies, which despite being synthetic seem to have really goid resistance to scuffs, tears and scrapes.. ankle zips great too. Thumps up on g-form, use these all the time on inlines, knees and hip/butt pads low profile and comfy and excellent protection. :)
Im depressed, I was gonna go skating a few days ago but my town made a new rule where you need to sign up online first before coming (starting three days before the event) I didn’t know this and thought it was still first come first server (to be fair in another part of their website it said this still) but I was wrong. By the time I figured that out, it was too late the program was full. I say it again. I’m depressed
Thank you so much for this video!!! I have been looking all over the internet for someone figure skating on normal inlines, yours is the only one that really gives some insight.
Your video is certainly timely for me! I just received replacement wheels & bearings that I ordered 2 months ago to fix a pair of 4-wheel inline skates that were in the closet for over 10 years. Once I got the skates mounted with the new wheels and got out to the outdoor skate park yesterday, I was excited to be doing any type of skating again. Two things, though, that are very different from skating on ice. 1) It's much more muscle work to skate on asphalt, much harder to practice gliding when the glides are only a few feet before friction causes me to stop. 2) Because I would be skating on asphalt and concrete, I bought 88A wheels, the hardest I could buy in the 76mm wheels I needed. The hard wheels transmit every bump and dip of the ground to my body, so my helmet and glasses jiggle on my head, making my vision like a Go camera video clip. This visual element wasn't something I had to worry about on ice! Thank you for showing the footwork bits of your practice. I hope that my refurbished skates will allow me to practice crossovers, edge work, and to strengthen my legs. (Just 3 months off skates and my ankles were not happy!) I am not going to try any spins until the ice rinks are open again. I prefer not to get a road tattoo. Please keep posting videos! I really appreciate all the lessons you've been posting. For future videos, could you please add the wrist guards, elbow pads, & knee pads? Other inline or roller skating teachers all wear protective gear in their in YT videos. It's a good idea to model safer methods. Thank you!
Thanks for this video, I use free skates and love them. Watching your moves almost opens up new dimensions and possibilities for me to try. Balance for me is always an issue but I’m getting there! Thanks again for sharing your skills!
idk which exact model you have but if you have removable frames (check which model you bought and look it up online to see whether the frames are removable if you forgot or don’t know), then you can replace just the frames instead of buying a whole new skate. you can replace it with 4x80 (so 4 wheels with 80 mm diameter) or even an aggressive frame and soul plate as long as you check that it’s compatible. i think these videos are really interesting and helpful for people looking to expand into different skating disciplines :)
Wooow, your skating is amazing... Foot steps, stops, everything... And although on the ice, idky, as it's easier for me than for others, i can seem cocky there no way that i can do that on concrete, even just stop with all those hills around me lmao - I did ski almost to competition living near the sea lol Actually i'm really figuring out that you spent your life on skates - y i had the hydroblade and my first jumps afters 3 months but my brain will NEVER get wired like this 😂😂😂 I envy you =) I was hesitating between them and the "swell". Then between them and a FS frame. I'm still wondering if i made the right choice lol, those boots are though, you can do pretty wild stuff in it
Thanks ❤️ keep in mind that I have been figure skating on ice for 28 years! If your fitness levels are good when starting figure skating, it will help you pick up things faster! I can't comment about which skate is better than another in terms of freestyle slalom skates, I can just say that I enjoyed skating on these. I have just started practicing in a 4 wheel frame by powerslide that I rocker with different wheel sizes. It feels even better that the triskates for doing figure skating turns.
I just put two smaller worn down wheels on the front and rear of my old rollerblades and they are rockered now! So much easier for turning and artistic moves, and then I mounted a universal brake in the front of the boot, so now I have artistic skates converted over from my old inline rollerblades. So much cheaper than buying a new assembly. Good to see an ice skater give some time to try out wheels, most ice skaters I know won't.
Hey! I know it's almost one year since you've posted this, but would it be possible to show how exactly you made that setup? I'm from a country where snow whites and the like aren't available at all and I want to inline skate with a more artistic touch. The front stop would surely help. Thanks a bunch!
I used to try and figure skate in my regular 4 wheeled non rockerd recreational skates and the ammount of falls it led to was hilarious. I have snow white figure skates these days but I have been thinking about getting some tri skates and making a rocker for in the street where theirs stuff my toe stop could catch on. I like to skate to places like the corner shop haha. This video has made me decide I'm going to start saving up!
Non rockered recreational skates are okay for skating forwards and backwards, crossovers etc.... But doing turns on them isn't great....I tried these skates without rockering them at first and I didn't like the lack of manoeuvrability. Inline skates like these are great for throwing on to be able to whip around to places quickly. I'm happy to hear this video helped you decide what to do ❤️
That makes so much sense!! I used to rollerblade as a kid and I was really good at it but when I became an adult and watched the Olympics I started taking figure skating lessons. Unfortunately my local ice rink hs gotten really bad (they only run the zamboni once a day) so I decided to start rollerblading again. I bought those 5 wheel skates that you were saying you tore up and I've felt pretty unsteady on them. Now I understand why. I should have bought these instead. Lol!
They only cut the ice once a day???? Where is this ice rink? The 5 wheel skates aren't great, but you can get better ones such as Roll Line Linea. These skaters in the video were a lot of fun to skate in and much better quality.
@@IceCoachOnline North Charleston, SC. It's called the Ice Palace. I've complained several times and they don't care. It's the only one in town aside from the holiday outdoor one they decided to open last year and will apparently open again this year which is a puddle most of the time due to our climate. Lol. The Ice Palace used to be so much better but now they only cut the ice at the end of the day right before hockey practice beacuse they only care about the people paying for hockey lessons. I checked my rollerblades again and they have 4 wheels! I was able to remove the brake so I think I can replace some of the wheels and make them rock by having different wheel sizes so I'm going to look into that. I hadn't rollerbladed in a while when I commented last because of the hot summer climate but now it's cooled down.
Is it weird to say your style of skating in ice sort of lends itself to freestyle roller skating? Also, online figure skating is absolutely a thing. And they do double axels in Snow Whites
Hi Coach. I've actually been rollerblading for the past 8 months of this lockdown on a 10 + year old pair of K2's. What skates did you use specifically in this video? Also, what are your recommended rocker settings to be as close to a figure skate as possible? I also haven't skated on Ice for 15 years, and am seriously considering figure skating after my new found joy of blading. What figure skates, or brand in general do you use, and what should i look for? Thanks, and you really are an incredible skater. Thanks for the videos!
Class video, thanks for making it. Looking forward to the slalom vid slso, I hope you get to skate on a 4 x 80 rockered frame and show how that compares. Looking forward to those twizzles! :) I second the comment about using protection, concrete isn't as forgiving as ice also, with the lumps, bumps and small twigs and stones that can stop a wheel dead (whilst you carry on), I've learned to pad up, especially backwards. Decent quality snowboarders wrist guards are a must for me - much better than a plaster cast!!
Thanks 🙂 glad to hear you enjoyed it! I have the 4 wheel frame and it's amazing to skate on. It will be the focus of the next video when the rain stops (I'm also working on the slalom video, but facing the same rainy problem!) I have started padding up more too! I got some very good quality wrist guards too. I have bad wrists anyway from a lifetime of lift people over my head, so I don't want to risk making them worse!
That hard fall looks like it was you trusting your non existing toe pick, hopefully you didn't hurt too bad. BTW: You would feel much more at home with rockered 4x80 or 4x90 simply because each spacing between two wheels is shorter. I guess by now you tried that? I think it would help you unlocking spinning too. I would love to see a video where you explain the difference between blades and wheels when it comes to gliding, sliding and hockey stop.
The real joy of slalom inline skates is skating on your toes. You can spin and grapevine. It's really fun. Also...CONES!!!!!! That's the most fun of all. I'd recommend the FR Daria. The rocker feels the same as a Pattern 99.
@Ice Coach Online You never made the video about the 4 wheels? I can't find it :(. Can you tell me which was the definitive best rocker setting? 76-80-80-76? 72-80-80-72? Four wheels? Three wheels? Or did you end up buying Showwhites, PikSkates, or Linea skates? Thank you so much!!!
I practiced and teach online skating, and i like to have no limitation whatsoe Er in the things i could do on online skates includono figure skating, which on ICE would be impossible to practiced where i live. Online skates are differenti from ICE skates because they work differently, the more you Edge the less they grip, while almost the opposite happens on ICE blades, though by chosing the right rocker amount and position on the wheels set every nove Is possibile. I would definetely appreciate you going through figure skating moved on inlines!
I never saw snow. I want sooooo much skate in ice. I am happy to see your videos and can understand some different things between ice and floor. Thanks for that. I hope one day I can run in ice and see how is it. Love your videos, you are very plesant person. Sorry by my english. I'm Brasilian. I never speek in english, then I say a lots of wrong words hahaha. Abraço
Have you heard of wizard skating? Freestyle/Street style inline skating. It seems me it applies lots of footwork skills from figure and slalom, or self-invented moves. I can't do anything like it but sure is fun to watch.
Awesome! Can’t wait to see you on four wheels, I’m glad you are enjoying your regular inline skates! What are your thoughts on getting ice blades frames on to the inline slalom boots? I’ve seen there are blades you can use with them from Inline Ice Blades, but I haven’t seen a review. They have both freestyle and figure skating blades. About jumps on inline skates, I’ve managed to do waltz jumps with my four wheel rockered setup (or something that looks like it at least). I want to try learning counter rockers and brackets next.
4 wheels rockered is a lot more comfortable! I have seen the ice brade frames for inline skates, I think I would break them when I skate. I break skates quite quickly, I suspect the harcore Evo skates would last one session on the ice..... The buckles would snap quickly (I'm notorious for snapping metal hooks off my skates). I also think the freestyle boot wouldn't work with my knee action very well on the ice. I like to bend the boot when I do certain moves like choctaw, the carbon fibre seems unwilling to cooperate with that haha. Tiago inline skater has a video up of himself skating in the freestyle skating blades with his hardcore Evo skates on..... He has no problem skating on the ice in them doing his slalom moves. Yeah you'll be able to do waltz jump and some simpler jumps, but it will be like someone in hockey skates on the ice, you'll reach a point where you need that toe pick to advance. I also had no problems doing brackets in counter on 3 wheels or 4 wheels. My preference was 4 wheels though, it was closer to the on ice feeling.
@@IceCoachOnline You never made the video about the 4 wheels? I can't find it. Can you tell me which was the definitive best rocker setting? 76-80-80-76? 72-80-80-72? Four wheels? Three wheels? Or did you end up buying Showwhites, PikSkates, or Linea skates? Thank you so much!!!
i've been using roller skates for 4 months now (since lockdown) and i fear when i get back on the ice i'll be rubbish! like you, my skates are HEAVY compared to the roller blades i have so theres so much more i can do using roller blades compared to my skates on ice! arghh how i miss the ice
I think its good to always wear the protectors+helmet - I know they saved me from a serious hospital visit at least 4 times in my life already. We only have one skeleton each - take good care of it!
Very impressive. Once rinks open again, do you think you will continue to skate outdoors on wheels, to mix things up? I find it most enjoyable to switch, and enjoy the fresh air and freedom you get outdoors. You can do edge jumps on wheels - they are slightly harder as you need to be really over the skate to stop it shooting out from under you, but not impossible by any means. You can spin, but two-footed (heel wheel of one foot and toe wheel of the other). Can you do a full circle on an edge? Looking forward to seeing the slalom. I use a 4-wheel rockered frame, with a banana rocker which is the equivalent of 76-80-80-76. The heel and toe wheels get more worn than the others over time, so you probably end up with a similar setup to the 4-wheel one you mention. I've not skated on 3 larger wheels, but people say you get more speed but a tiny bit less control. Probably 3 is better if you want to street skate a bit.
I love my inline Bauer Vapor hockey skates. I am not an advanced skater so it has been great to keep me in shape for xovers, edges, and 3 turn. My girls are more advanced and can do all but jumps and spins on their inline hockey skates.
Hi there, I also have the Evo's. If you want the stability buy a 4x80mm Rockerable 243mm frame, and some 80mm wheels. You will love it! I have both and for dancing 4 wheels is a more stable base!
I have recently received a 4x80 243mm frame, but it isn't rockerable. I created a rocker on it using different wheel sizes though. It does feel great to skate on, it will be the focus of the next video..... When the rain stops so I can go and film it ☔😔
Loving these videos! What wheel set up did you use for the rocker? I have been using some powerslide triskates while the rinks are closed. They have 100mm wheels at the moment but am considering rockering them with smaller wheels.
Thanks, glad you're enjoying them! The frames I was using allow me to rocker the frames without changing wheel sizes, I just set the middle wheel in a lower position. On my 4 wheel trinity frame, they don't rocker, so I have to create the rocker using different wheel sizes, so I use 72,80,80,76.
i really needed this video to learn if I can atleast do the basics because even if its not quarantine here are no ice rinks near my area since my country only has ice rinks for special events and for attractions. even so it's a bit far. but I really want to skate T--T
I’m an experienced figure skater. I got powerslide skates with 100 mm wheels..do you think these will be too big for my style of skating? I don’t plan on doing any tricks or skills, but I want it to be appropriate for my muscle memory as a former competitive skater. Any advice you have would be awesome!
Hi Lloyd, may you compare figure skate boots and inline skate boots? Is there something in which inline skate boots are better than figure skate boots or otherwise? I'm a relatively beginner inline skater (about 140 hours in 5 months) and want to learn figure skate moves that doesn't involve jumps. So I wander if Reidell Motion (hardness 70) with some off ice frames would be more appropriate than my current hard shell inline skates (powerslide Zoom).
I wonder if quad roller skates would give the jump or spin experience that’s closer to figure skating? I’m currently skating on in lines, and MISS my toe pic, but can not afford artistic off ice skates. I’m worried switching to quads would be so much more stable that it would spoil me for the ice again?
I haven't tried quads myself, but from what people have told me the technique used on them to do turns and spins is quite different as they act like two small skateboards you stand on. There is a lot you can do to improve in regular inline skate though, especially if you rocker them with different sized wheels!
Powerslide HC Evo is very different from normal slalom skates. Higher cuff makes the moves harder and 3 wheels rockered are not as smooth as 4 wheels. the latter is the reason why they go on one wheel in those in all competitions. Please please try 4X76 (4X80) rockered frames - the normal slalom setup.
I enjoyed skating in the HC Evo boot, but I have no other slalom skates to compare it to 🤔 since making this video, I have switch to a 4x80 frame on the HC Evo boot and I can skate even better in them. It's not a rockered frame, but I followed advice from @cityblades and use a wheel setup of 72,80,80,76. This will be the the focus of my next inline skating video.
Ice Coach Online nice, yes, 4 wheels is smoother and yes, inline boots are very different between each other :) if you want to get the same rocker as on a regular slalom frame, that’d be 76, 80, 80, 76. We have it symmetrical.
@@IceCoachOnline Awesome! It'd be great if you are able to compare both (roller skates vs inline skates as I have always wondered which resembles ice skates more) and I can see how things can get expensive... Well, good luck!
@@IceCoachOnline Quad roller skates! I used to roller skate before I ice skated. They were soooo heavy compared to the ice skates because of the wheels and bearings. That would be a fun video for you to make if you get yourself a pair!
OMG, YOU WILL LOVE QUADS!!!!! I'd recommend Edeas, a Matrix Plate and a soft cushion with some All American Plus wheels. Or you could use any of your old boots and have them mounted. You would love it. There is more of an edge on quad skates compared to inline skates, so it's closer to ice skating.
I have not skated on these. I am a former ice skater now quad roller skating. I also skate on Snow Whites. I would be interested in using these for distance skating and cardio. How do the boots feel? I have never worn skates that buckle. Do they feel secure and comfortable?
Yeah stopping is a completely different experience. I did a power slide and power stop in the video. I can do a parallel slide on the right surface, and almost twisted my ankle doing acid slide 😅 it's a very different experience. Tiago inline skater gave me some pointers to help learn them 👍
I’m having a problem side surfing on rollerblades. I can put only one leg on the side & I put the other one a little crooked! How can I get it improved?
I'm an absolute beginner in figure skating, but I missed the ice an insane amount so I decided to get some inline skates. They're four-wheeled, 80mm wheels with 85A hardness, from Revol. I was wondering what exactly I could do with them, especially stopping wise - is the technique similar/would it help me on ice? Otherwise I'm just working on crossovers, backwards stroking, mohawks etc, would those be doable?
Stop using a T stop, but dragging the foot. If your skates are NOT rockered then you should get 4 sized 76mm wheels and put them on the front and back of each skate so they mimic an ice blade. Then have fun and put down some cones. Watch some slalom inline skating video tutorials on UA-cam and start having fun.
How do you choose which inline skates to get though? I've found "off ice skates" which have smaller wheels but have a toe stop, or should I go with "freestyle skates" which have larger wheels?
Id'e say rollerblades or inline skates as you call them are pretty good for a change since the ice rinks are closed because of the pandemic id'e say roller blades are a good change of that for once because on inline skates you can skate almost anywhere
Heyy was wondering if u can help me? Do u have any advice which inline skates I should get.. I've been trying to decide for months!! I'm looking for skates that are comfortable and can go fast for many hrs outdoors and that I can learn to do some figure skating moves in.. I'm used to soft boot and 80mm 4 wheelers.. Wondering which boot to go with hard or soft and if 80mm 4 wheelers are good enough for what I'm looking for?
Was thinking of getting rollerblade twister edge 80mm but I'm debating because I never skated with hard shell skates.. I'm worried they're more uncomfortable than soft boot skates
Part of your problem with the pic skates versus the inline is you have the factory wheels on your pic skates and not a bullet profile wheel like on your inlines. Also spinning in our pic skates is different however if you had better wheels it would be easier. Also it takes a lot more leg muscles to pull off spins in pic skates so that does help with your on ice strength. That’s our experience anyways.
It’s sucks that we don’t have an ice skating rink near my area. I figure skate on my online roller blades pretty well and I have wanted to take up ice skating so bad.
I skate figure on ice and hockey skates on the street. Never meet anyone else who skates like this. My friends slate me for it all the time and say I am doing 2 different principles. But I say skating is skating.
You didn't mention HOW you rockered the skates- by just putting a 'less worn' wheel in the middle? I have a couple PowerSlide models - including Trinity frames- and I don't know any options for rockering them? I'm skating 125mm mostly- you should try some of those! ;-)
The frames allows me to set the rocker. So basically it just lowers the middle wheel. I have an older 4 wheel trinity frame too, but this doesn't allow me to rocker... I have to change the wheel sizes to do this. 125mm wheels are huge! I bet you can skate fast in them.....maybe I'll try some for when I got out to cover some distance for exercise
Hi, I have the exact skates. I love them... But I found the extreme rocker...where only the middle wheel is lowered was a bit too unstable. I really liked the gentle rocker where only the front wheel is raised. You should try it. But I do much prefer a 4 wheel set up with a banana rocker. Much more like the blade of an ice skate.
I struggled a bit with the light rocker when I tried it, which is why I went to the heavy. I now have a 4 wheel frame, that I rockered with different wheel sizes. It will be the focus of the next video when it stops raining ☔
I’m a figure skater too and I just got rollerblades and fell forward really bad today haha how do you stop this?! I can’t seem to do anything in rollerblades haha
I haven't had a chance to try them out yet 😔 I am trying to get my hands on some, but it's proving difficult! I do hope to make a video about this one day.
Old school roller skates are closer to ice skates than inline skates are in that you have a more defined edge. So if you like really deep edges, then old school skates are it. Inline skates can be rockered to mimic the blade feeling of an ice skate, but the "edges" are just figurative because the wheel is round. You'll never get the satisfaction of a deep edge. The fun of inline and roller skates is that you can skate on your toes and heals and it opens up a world of possibilities.

Thank you so much for this video!!! I have been looking all over the internet for someone figure skating on normal inlines, yours is the only one that really gives some insight.
Your video is certainly timely for me! I just received replacement wheels & bearings that I ordered 2 months ago to fix a pair of 4-wheel inline skates that were in the closet for over 10 years. Once I got the skates mounted with the new wheels and got out to the outdoor skate park yesterday, I was excited to be doing any type of skating again. Two things, though, that are very different from skating on ice. 1) It's much more muscle work to skate on asphalt, much harder to practice gliding when the glides are only a few feet before friction causes me to stop. 2) Because I would be skating on asphalt and concrete, I bought 88A wheels, the hardest I could buy in the 76mm wheels I needed. The hard wheels transmit every bump and dip of the ground to my body, so my helmet and glasses jiggle on my head, making my vision like a Go camera video clip. This visual element wasn't something I had to worry about on ice!
Thank you for showing the footwork bits of your practice. I hope that my refurbished skates will allow me to practice crossovers, edge work, and to strengthen my legs. (Just 3 months off skates and my ankles were not happy!) I am not going to try any spins until the ice rinks are open again. I prefer not to get a road tattoo.
Please keep posting videos! I really appreciate all the lessons you've been posting.
For future videos, could you please add the wrist guards, elbow pads, & knee pads? Other inline or roller skating teachers all wear protective gear in their in YT videos. It's a good idea to model safer methods. Thank you!
Thanks for this video, I use free skates and love them. Watching your moves almost opens up new dimensions and possibilities for me to try. Balance for me is always an issue but I’m getting there! Thanks again for sharing your skills!
Thank you for showing different ways of practising figure skating, you inspired me❤
I'm happy to hear I inspired you ❤️ if you have any questions, feel free to get in touch 👍
idk which exact model you have but if you have removable frames (check which model you bought and look it up online to see whether the frames are removable if you forgot or don’t know), then you can replace just the frames instead of buying a whole new skate. you can replace it with 4x80 (so 4 wheels with 80 mm diameter) or even an aggressive frame and soul plate as long as you check that it’s compatible. i think these videos are really interesting and helpful for people looking to expand into different skating disciplines :)
Wooow, your skating is amazing... Foot steps, stops, everything... And although on the ice, idky, as it's easier for me than for others, i can seem cocky there no way that i can do that on concrete, even just stop with all those hills around me lmao - I did ski almost to competition living near the sea lol
Actually i'm really figuring out that you spent your life on skates - y i had the hydroblade and my first jumps afters 3 months but my brain will NEVER get wired like this 😂😂😂
I envy you =)
I was hesitating between them and the "swell". Then between them and a FS frame. I'm still wondering if i made the right choice lol, those boots are though, you can do pretty wild stuff in it
Thanks ❤️ keep in mind that I have been figure skating on ice for 28 years!
If your fitness levels are good when starting figure skating, it will help you pick up things faster!
I can't comment about which skate is better than another in terms of freestyle slalom skates, I can just say that I enjoyed skating on these. I have just started practicing in a 4 wheel frame by powerslide that I rocker with different wheel sizes. It feels even better that the triskates for doing figure skating turns.
I just put two smaller worn down wheels on the front and rear of my old rollerblades and they are rockered now! So much easier for turning and artistic moves, and then I mounted a universal brake in the front of the boot, so now I have artistic skates converted over from my old inline rollerblades. So much cheaper than buying a new assembly. Good to see an ice skater give some time to try out wheels, most ice skaters I know won't.
Hey! I know it's almost one year since you've posted this, but would it be possible to show how exactly you made that setup?
I'm from a country where snow whites and the like aren't available at all and I want to inline skate with a more artistic touch. The front stop would surely help.
Thanks a bunch!
These are really nice skates! You should try loops. On my inline skates I'm able to do forward outside loop and backward inside loop.
I didn't even think of doing loops in them for some reason 🤔 I'll try that next time!
Which skates do you have ??
I have SEBA WFSC 2017.
I used to try and figure skate in my regular 4 wheeled non rockerd recreational skates and the ammount of falls it led to was hilarious. I have snow white figure skates these days but I have been thinking about getting some tri skates and making a rocker for in the street where theirs stuff my toe stop could catch on. I like to skate to places like the corner shop haha. This video has made me decide I'm going to start saving up!
Non rockered recreational skates are okay for skating forwards and backwards, crossovers etc.... But doing turns on them isn't great....I tried these skates without rockering them at first and I didn't like the lack of manoeuvrability.
Inline skates like these are great for throwing on to be able to whip around to places quickly.
I'm happy to hear this video helped you decide what to do ❤️
I just started Figure Skating and your channel brings me so much joy! You've became one of my idols so thank you so much for making your videos! :3 ^^
Would you recommend these if I have never done figure skating, due to being far from an ice rink, but would like to start getting the feel for it ❤️
That makes so much sense!! I used to rollerblade as a kid and I was really good at it but when I became an adult and watched the Olympics I started taking figure skating lessons. Unfortunately my local ice rink hs gotten really bad (they only run the zamboni once a day) so I decided to start rollerblading again. I bought those 5 wheel skates that you were saying you tore up and I've felt pretty unsteady on them. Now I understand why. I should have bought these instead. Lol!
They only cut the ice once a day???? Where is this ice rink? The 5 wheel skates aren't great, but you can get better ones such as Roll Line Linea. These skaters in the video were a lot of fun to skate in and much better quality.
@@IceCoachOnline North Charleston, SC. It's called the Ice Palace. I've complained several times and they don't care. It's the only one in town aside from the holiday outdoor one they decided to open last year and will apparently open again this year which is a puddle most of the time due to our climate. Lol. The Ice Palace used to be so much better but now they only cut the ice at the end of the day right before hockey practice beacuse they only care about the people paying for hockey lessons. I checked my rollerblades again and they have 4 wheels! I was able to remove the brake so I think I can replace some of the wheels and make them rock by having different wheel sizes so I'm going to look into that. I hadn't rollerbladed in a while when I commented last because of the hot summer climate but now it's cooled down.
It's great to see you've still got the moves Lloyd!
Is it weird to say your style of skating in ice sort of lends itself to freestyle roller skating?
Also, online figure skating is absolutely a thing. And they do double axels in Snow Whites
Hi Coach. I've actually been rollerblading for the past 8 months of this lockdown on a 10 + year old pair of K2's. What skates did you use specifically in this video? Also, what are your recommended rocker settings to be as close to a figure skate as possible? I also haven't skated on Ice for 15 years, and am seriously considering figure skating after my new found joy of blading. What figure skates, or brand in general do you use, and what should i look for? Thanks, and you really are an incredible skater. Thanks for the videos!
Lloyd, thank you for sharing your excellent inline figure skating video using the Trinity Nexus inline skate frame! :-)
You're welcome! Glad you enjoyed it ❤️
Class video, thanks for making it. Looking forward to the slalom vid slso, I hope you get to skate on a 4 x 80 rockered frame and show how that compares. Looking forward to those twizzles! :) I second the comment about using protection, concrete isn't as forgiving as ice also, with the lumps, bumps and small twigs and stones that can stop a wheel dead (whilst you carry on), I've learned to pad up, especially backwards. Decent quality snowboarders wrist guards are a must for me - much better than a plaster cast!!
Thanks 🙂 glad to hear you enjoyed it! I have the 4 wheel frame and it's amazing to skate on. It will be the focus of the next video when the rain stops (I'm also working on the slalom video, but facing the same rainy problem!)
I have started padding up more too! I got some very good quality wrist guards too. I have bad wrists anyway from a lifetime of lift people over my head, so I don't want to risk making them worse!
Thank you so much! There are many spins on freestyle inline skates, if you want you can check that out! It's very fun to do it!
I'm getting 3x110 inlines and didn't know this was possible. As soon as the snow is gone I'll go learn these moves :)
That hard fall looks like it was you trusting your non existing toe pick, hopefully you didn't hurt too bad. BTW: You would feel much more at home with rockered 4x80 or 4x90 simply because each spacing between two wheels is shorter. I guess by now you tried that? I think it would help you unlocking spinning too.
I would love to see a video where you explain the difference between blades and wheels when it comes to gliding, sliding and hockey stop.
I'm watching this like I'm trying to learn something from it when I can't even walk with regular shoes without tripping on the sidewalk.
The real joy of slalom inline skates is skating on your toes. You can spin and grapevine. It's really fun. Also...CONES!!!!!! That's the most fun of all. I'd recommend the FR Daria. The rocker feels the same as a Pattern 99.
You got my wishlist
@Ice Coach Online You never made the video about the 4 wheels? I can't find it :(. Can you tell me which was the definitive best rocker setting? 76-80-80-76? 72-80-80-72? Four wheels? Three wheels? Or did you end up buying Showwhites, PikSkates, or Linea skates? Thank you so much!!!
thanks so much for this! Im planning on roller skating meanwhile I wait to get figure skates. Although the ice skating rink near me is pricey.
update: the rink closed :)..
Give the man some cones and let him slalom!!!😍
i'm a decent aspiring slalom skater, your intros are so funny.
I practiced and teach online skating, and i like to have no limitation whatsoe Er in the things i could do on online skates includono figure skating, which on ICE would be impossible to practiced where i live. Online skates are differenti from ICE skates because they work differently, the more you Edge the less they grip, while almost the opposite happens on ICE blades, though by chosing the right rocker amount and position on the wheels set every nove Is possibile. I would definetely appreciate you going through figure skating moved on inlines!
I never saw snow. I want sooooo much skate in ice. I am happy to see your videos and can understand some different things between ice and floor. Thanks for that. I hope one day I can run in ice and see how is it. Love your videos, you are very plesant person. Sorry by my english. I'm Brasilian. I never speek in english, then I say a lots of wrong words hahaha. Abraço
Very good, useful observation, thank you!!🙏🏼👍🔥
Have you heard of wizard skating? Freestyle/Street style inline skating. It seems me it applies lots of footwork skills from figure and slalom, or self-invented moves. I can't do anything like it but sure is fun to watch.
Inlines! Cool! I'm subscribing! More please!
Thanks 😁 I am waiting for the rain to stop so I can film another Inline video! British summer weather..... ☔☔☔☔☔
Awesome! Can’t wait to see you on four wheels, I’m glad you are enjoying your regular inline skates! What are your thoughts on getting ice blades frames on to the inline slalom boots? I’ve seen there are blades you can use with them from Inline Ice Blades, but I haven’t seen a review. They have both freestyle and figure skating blades. About jumps on inline skates, I’ve managed to do waltz jumps with my four wheel rockered setup (or something that looks like it at least). I want to try learning counter rockers and brackets next.
4 wheels rockered is a lot more comfortable! I have seen the ice brade frames for inline skates, I think I would break them when I skate. I break skates quite quickly, I suspect the harcore Evo skates would last one session on the ice..... The buckles would snap quickly (I'm notorious for snapping metal hooks off my skates). I also think the freestyle boot wouldn't work with my knee action very well on the ice. I like to bend the boot when I do certain moves like choctaw, the carbon fibre seems unwilling to cooperate with that haha.
Tiago inline skater has a video up of himself skating in the freestyle skating blades with his hardcore Evo skates on..... He has no problem skating on the ice in them doing his slalom moves.
Yeah you'll be able to do waltz jump and some simpler jumps, but it will be like someone in hockey skates on the ice, you'll reach a point where you need that toe pick to advance.
I also had no problems doing brackets in counter on 3 wheels or 4 wheels. My preference was 4 wheels though, it was closer to the on ice feeling.
@@IceCoachOnline You never made the video about the 4 wheels? I can't find it. Can you tell me which was the definitive best rocker setting? 76-80-80-76? 72-80-80-72? Four wheels? Three wheels? Or did you end up buying Showwhites, PikSkates, or Linea skates? Thank you so much!!!
i've been using roller skates for 4 months now (since lockdown) and i fear when i get back on the ice i'll be rubbish!
like you, my skates are HEAVY compared to the roller blades i have so theres so much more i can do using roller blades compared to my skates on ice! arghh how i miss the ice
I think its good to always wear the protectors+helmet - I know they saved me from a serious hospital visit at least 4 times in my life already. We only have one skeleton each - take good care of it!
Very impressive. Once rinks open again, do you think you will continue to skate outdoors on wheels, to mix things up?
I find it most enjoyable to switch, and enjoy the fresh air and freedom you get outdoors.
You can do edge jumps on wheels - they are slightly harder as you need to be really over the skate to stop it shooting out from under you, but not impossible by any means.
You can spin, but two-footed (heel wheel of one foot and toe wheel of the other).
Can you do a full circle on an edge?
Looking forward to seeing the slalom.
I use a 4-wheel rockered frame, with a banana rocker which is the equivalent of 76-80-80-76. The heel and toe wheels get more worn than the others over time, so you probably end up with a similar setup to the 4-wheel one you mention. I've not skated on 3 larger wheels, but people say you get more speed but a tiny bit less control. Probably 3 is better if you want to street skate a bit.
Great video!👍
I love my inline Bauer Vapor hockey skates. I am not an advanced skater so it has been great to keep me in shape for xovers, edges, and 3 turn. My girls are more advanced and can do all but jumps and spins on their inline hockey skates.
Hi there, I also have the Evo's. If you want the stability buy a 4x80mm Rockerable 243mm frame, and some 80mm wheels. You will love it! I have both and for dancing 4 wheels is a more stable base!
I have recently received a 4x80 243mm frame, but it isn't rockerable. I created a rocker on it using different wheel sizes though. It does feel great to skate on, it will be the focus of the next video..... When the rain stops so I can go and film it ☔😔
Loving these videos! What wheel set up did you use for the rocker? I have been using some powerslide triskates while the rinks are closed. They have 100mm wheels at the moment but am considering rockering them with smaller wheels.
Thanks, glad you're enjoying them! The frames I was using allow me to rocker the frames without changing wheel sizes, I just set the middle wheel in a lower position. On my 4 wheel trinity frame, they don't rocker, so I have to create the rocker using different wheel sizes, so I use 72,80,80,76.
i really needed this video to learn if I can atleast do the basics because even if its not quarantine here are no ice rinks near my area since my country only has ice rinks for special events and for attractions. even so it's a bit far. but I really want to skate T--T
Have u thought of perhaps changing the wheels of the "off ice" skates to regular outdoor inline wheels that are same size?
I’m an experienced figure skater. I got powerslide skates with 100 mm wheels..do you think these will be too big for my style of skating? I don’t plan on doing any tricks or skills, but I want it to be appropriate for my muscle memory as a former competitive skater. Any advice you have would be awesome!
Hi Lloyd, may you compare figure skate boots and inline skate boots? Is there something in which inline skate boots are better than figure skate boots or otherwise? I'm a relatively beginner inline skater (about 140 hours in 5 months) and want to learn figure skate moves that doesn't involve jumps. So I wander if Reidell Motion (hardness 70) with some off ice frames would be more appropriate than my current hard shell inline skates (powerslide Zoom).
I’d love to see you try out Snowfeet/ski-skates haha
I wonder if quad roller skates would give the jump or spin experience that’s closer to figure skating? I’m currently skating on in lines, and MISS my toe pic, but can not afford artistic off ice skates. I’m worried switching to quads would be so much more stable that it would spoil me for the ice again?
I haven't tried quads myself, but from what people have told me the technique used on them to do turns and spins is quite different as they act like two small skateboards you stand on. There is a lot you can do to improve in regular inline skate though, especially if you rocker them with different sized wheels!
Powerslide HC Evo is very different from normal slalom skates. Higher cuff makes the moves harder and 3 wheels rockered are not as smooth as 4 wheels. the latter is the reason why they go on one wheel in those in all competitions. Please please try 4X76 (4X80) rockered frames - the normal slalom setup.
I enjoyed skating in the HC Evo boot, but I have no other slalom skates to compare it to 🤔 since making this video, I have switch to a 4x80 frame on the HC Evo boot and I can skate even better in them. It's not a rockered frame, but I followed advice from @cityblades and use a wheel setup of 72,80,80,76. This will be the the focus of my next inline skating video.
Ice Coach Online nice, yes, 4 wheels is smoother and yes, inline boots are very different between each other :) if you want to get the same rocker as on a regular slalom frame, that’d be 76, 80, 80, 76. We have it symmetrical.
So cool, you are so good! Have you tried roller skates?
Not yet! I plan on getting some..... I'm hoping someone sends me a pair to try as it gets expensive to keep buying all this different equipment!
@@IceCoachOnline Awesome! It'd be great if you are able to compare both (roller skates vs inline skates as I have always wondered which resembles ice skates more) and I can see how things can get expensive... Well, good luck!
@@IceCoachOnline Quad roller skates! I used to roller skate before I ice skated. They were soooo heavy compared to the ice skates because of the wheels and bearings. That would be a fun video for you to make if you get yourself a pair!
OMG, YOU WILL LOVE QUADS!!!!! I'd recommend Edeas, a Matrix Plate and a soft cushion with some All American Plus wheels. Or you could use any of your old boots and have them mounted. You would love it. There is more of an edge on quad skates compared to inline skates, so it's closer to ice skating.
I had my first ice skating lesson today
I have not skated on these. I am a former ice skater now quad roller skating. I also skate on Snow Whites. I would be interested in using these for distance skating and cardio. How do the boots feel? I have never worn skates that buckle. Do they feel secure and comfortable?
Wizard Frames PR76 (or PR80). This is what you need to try
Stopping could be challenging especially parallel stop (hockey stop) it's a different technique
Yeah stopping is a completely different experience. I did a power slide and power stop in the video. I can do a parallel slide on the right surface, and almost twisted my ankle doing acid slide 😅 it's a very different experience. Tiago inline skater gave me some pointers to help learn them 👍
Hello. Thank u so much for this video! Is it able to doing simple spins with freestyle roller-skates? Sorry for my English
Thank u
I’m having a problem side surfing on rollerblades. I can put only one leg on the side & I put the other one a little crooked! How can I get it improved?
I'm an absolute beginner in figure skating, but I missed the ice an insane amount so I decided to get some inline skates. They're four-wheeled, 80mm wheels with 85A hardness, from Revol. I was wondering what exactly I could do with them, especially stopping wise - is the technique similar/would it help me on ice? Otherwise I'm just working on crossovers, backwards stroking, mohawks etc, would those be doable?
Stop using a T stop, but dragging the foot. If your skates are NOT rockered then you should get 4 sized 76mm wheels and put them on the front and back of each skate so they mimic an ice blade. Then have fun and put down some cones. Watch some slalom inline skating video tutorials on UA-cam and start having fun.
Thank you so much!
This is my main question
Sorry if this has already been answered but what frame are you using to give them the rockered setup?
How do you choose which inline skates to get though? I've found "off ice skates" which have smaller wheels but have a toe stop, or should I go with "freestyle skates" which have larger wheels?
Id'e say rollerblades or inline skates as you call them are pretty good for a change since the ice rinks are closed because of the pandemic id'e say roller blades are a good change of that for once because on inline skates you can skate almost anywhere
Can you do axel jumps on them?
Is it ok to have normal frame/setting from the inline skates? I have a pair of tri wheel inline skates but I dont believe there is a rocker..
Thank you!!!! ⛸😊
Where is the link to buy them. Can i order for India
Can your videos be used for learning outdoor inline figure skating or is it specifically for skating at an ice rink?
Us skaters have an advantage: we can roller blade right off the bat
3 wheel or 4 wheel rocker is your favorite?
is it fine to figure skate on ground using regular roller blades?
Heyy was wondering if u can help me?
Do u have any advice which inline skates I should get.. I've been trying to decide for months!!
I'm looking for skates that are comfortable and can go fast for many hrs outdoors and that I can learn to do some figure skating moves in..
I'm used to soft boot and 80mm 4 wheelers.. Wondering which boot to go with hard or soft and if 80mm 4 wheelers are good enough for what I'm looking for?
Was thinking of getting rollerblade twister edge 80mm but I'm debating because I never skated with hard shell skates.. I'm worried they're more uncomfortable than soft boot skates
Can I put a Toy Peak on in roller blads?
Part of your problem with the pic skates versus the inline is you have the factory wheels on your pic skates and not a bullet profile wheel like on your inlines.
Also spinning in our pic skates is different however if you had better wheels it would be easier. Also it takes a lot more leg muscles to pull off spins in pic skates so that does help with your on ice strength.
That’s our experience anyways.
It’s sucks that we don’t have an ice skating rink near my area. I figure skate on my online roller blades pretty well and I have wanted to take up ice skating so bad.
The thought of having no toepicks seems a little intimidating, having grown so used to them
People do the Downtown on ice? Is that figureskating footwork?
2:21 looks brutal!!! Ouch
I skate figure on ice and hockey skates on the street. Never meet anyone else who skates like this. My friends slate me for it all the time and say I am doing 2 different principles. But I say skating is skating.
where can I find your competitive figure skating videos? Can someone direct me to a video?
You didn't mention HOW you rockered the skates- by just putting a 'less worn' wheel in the middle? I have a couple PowerSlide models - including Trinity frames- and I don't know any options for rockering them? I'm skating 125mm mostly- you should try some of those! ;-)
The frames allows me to set the rocker. So basically it just lowers the middle wheel. I have an older 4 wheel trinity frame too, but this doesn't allow me to rocker... I have to change the wheel sizes to do this. 125mm wheels are huge! I bet you can skate fast in them.....maybe I'll try some for when I got out to cover some distance for exercise
: / all i see is another thing i can modify to do stupid with with lol. . . might have to give these a try
Hi, I have the exact skates. I love them... But I found the extreme rocker...where only the middle wheel is lowered was a bit too unstable. I really liked the gentle rocker where only the front wheel is raised. You should try it.
But I do much prefer a 4 wheel set up with a banana rocker. Much more like the blade of an ice skate.
I struggled a bit with the light rocker when I tried it, which is why I went to the heavy. I now have a 4 wheel frame, that I rockered with different wheel sizes. It will be the focus of the next video when it stops raining ☔
Ice Coach Online I’ve done that on a couple of pairs of skates I have. 4 different size wheels to get a rocker. I love it.
What is that move called when you did it at 2:27?
Those are advance skate, i am an inline skater, speed skater, i have a powerslide next core, 110mm nice brand, u shoul try seba, rockered set up,
There are professional inline skaters who can do jumps, spins and pretty much most of the things that ice skaters do
i figure skate on fitness inline skates and they're pretty nice
Yeah this looks more like what rollerblades should let you do
I could watch you all day, you're so handsome and a really talented skater ❤
2:43 I need the name of this trick (if there is one) or a tutorial 😬😬
I’m a figure skater too and I just got rollerblades and fell forward really bad today haha how do you stop this?! I can’t seem to do anything in rollerblades haha
oh my god me too, when i got back on the ice this morning after trying (and failing) rollerblading last night my center of balance was TOTALLY off
Try Wizard skates!
where can you buy these ?
just got my inline skate today and trust me, is not easy as it look💀
Have you tried to figure skate on old-school roller skates? How do they compare to the different types of inline skate?
I haven't had a chance to try them out yet 😔 I am trying to get my hands on some, but it's proving difficult! I do hope to make a video about this one day.
Old school roller skates are closer to ice skates than inline skates are in that you have a more defined edge. So if you like really deep edges, then old school skates are it. Inline skates can be rockered to mimic the blade feeling of an ice skate, but the "edges" are just figurative because the wheel is round. You'll never get the satisfaction of a deep edge. The fun of inline and roller skates is that you can skate on your toes and heals and it opens up a world of possibilities.
Какая ровная плитка у вас там
that scares me just by watching 🙈
