- Опубліковано 27 чер 2024
- This video will guide you through the steps to learn the Magic Slide. As well as some tips and tricks and common mistakes. Any setup is suitable for this slide, including 4x80, 4x84, 4x90, 3x100, 3x110, 4x100 and other similar setups. I would only recommend this slide if you are an Intermediate/Advanced Skater. Otherwise I would begin with the basic powerslide.

As a side note, coming back and watching this a year later, I did talk much slower in this video. For those who are coming back to watch the tutorial again, or prefer videos at a faster speed, I suggest playing the video at 1.25x speed. Only issue with that, is the footage in the video will be sped up, so you might need to pause the video more often. If its your first time watching, I suggest watching the video at normal speed. Hope this helps!
you can add the time codes to the description of the video in format "00:00-00:26 - Disclaimers" and you will get the timeline automatically divided by the youtube.
@@NikZvi I actually didn't know that, thanks a lot for the tip, will be very helpful in the future!
@@BladerzOfficial You can do it even with existing videos. Google it. It’s called UA-cam Chapters. You can add the list of them tp the end of video description, to not spoil it, and a a minute after you save it, YT will process it and update the timeline. Super useful for videos like this
@@BladerzOfficial This is a greatly explained tutorial even better than other professional channels I've watched Great job! Hey check it out have you seen the mini skate movie called the gods are messing with my skates? It's right on UA-cam
thank you :D
I am speed skater. I was always worry about 'how to stop'. Thanks to your video, I dare to practice. Big thanks!
I hope you have since found a way to safely stop. Magic Slide is definitely recommended for the type of skating you're doing. Thanks for the comment!
I've been trying to find an explanation as detailed as this. I feel like I understand how the mechanics are supposed to work 10x more than after any other tutorial for magic slide I've seen. Thank you! Can't wait to throw on the crash pants and start drilling...
Thank you! I wanted to go in depth as possible to make sure people understand the fundamentals of the Magic Slide. I hope you nail it, and keep practicing :)
Thank you for putting so much detail into weight transfer - it's counter-intuitive for me that the weight goes onto the front leg, so it was very helpful to see it spelled out explicitly.
I'm glad it helped. Best of luck with your training!
Been skating for about 1.5 years now and i still find this one too scary. Ive gotten good at doing the soul slide using that mostly to quickly reduce my speed but wanna eventually actually wanna learn the magic slide.
Great tutorial mate!
Thanks mate! I was very much the same in the beginning. Unfortunate thing about this slide, it really is an all or nothing kinda deal. Hopefully this tutorial can help you :)
This tutorial is absolute gold! I keep returning to it.
Great to hear! Glad it helps :)
I had just gone out and tested the tips! thanks a lot my magic slide has improved a lot just in one day! please continue doing tutorials!
Very good to hear. I definitely plan to do more in depth tutorials on other slides in the future :D
Fantastic tutorial! You should definitely create more tutorials! One of my favourite skate channels! Keep it up dude!
Thank you! Appreciate it a lot. I definitely have more tutorials planned for the future. Can't give you a release date, but they will be released when I believe they are the best quality they can be.
Great breakdown!!
Thank you!!!
Very inspiring! Letting the fear go is what I need to overcome! 😅
Thank you! It definitely is the most common thing I here. Best of luck to you :)
I tried it today with my oxelo mf500 i follow the proper instructions in video and it works for me. Thank you for this tutorial i'm very happy today. More tutorials tips and suggestion to come! More vids Bladerz Official!! ,
Awesome to hear! Glad it helped. More tutorials are coming 😀
Thank you for the breakdown. 👏🏽👏🏽
No worries. Hope it helps!
Thank you so much for your information and breakdown
My pleasure. I'm glad this has helped :)
Thanks for the video. Dutch greetings
No worries. Hope it helps :)
Brilliant vid! Cheers
Thank you. Hope it helps!
I have been trying to learn this slide but still cant do it. Can’t wait to try your tips and tricks!
Well done, explained with care and patience
thank you :)
awesome instructional vid!
thank you!
Awesome explanations! I can feel my brain learning just by watching and listening. My feet, however, might need some more years to get to that level :D
The resemblance here is uncanny xD
Awesome ❤👍👊
Thank you!
Aussie accent and my cursor just magnetised to the subscribe button
Love to hear it! Thanks for subscribing :)
Nice video, man! Thanks for the tips. Will have to try it out because so far I didn't manage to master it.
Thanks man! It is something that will take time and practice to achieve. Just keep going at it, I'm sure you will see some progress if you continue to practice.
👍All good Bruv.......
Gold.
More, please.
Thank you! Definitely planning on it :)
Great tutorial mate. Been struggling with these accidentally turning into powerslides, so will have a go with a bit of water and alter the weight distribution a bit.
Cheers, that's definitely something I struggled with for quite a while. I think the water should help you out a lot. Let me know how it goes!
nice video, thanks!
Thank you :)
Grandioso 🫵🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
:)
Double parrallel slide tutorial next plz
I think maybe you should make the tutorial, considering you are the only person I've ever known that can actually perform such a slide ;)
I do use the magic slide for slow speeds, but it tends to be more towards a soul slide because i don't need that back foot as much for slowing down. My left foot slides in front.
I just do the soul slide first, with transferring weight on the left, starting with 10% and ending with 30% of weight. Once the left it is 90% at right angle to me, I transfer up to 80% of weight to it to slow me down fast.
Yeah the soul slide is very effective for medium pace speeds. Personally I can't actually do a soul slide, so I use the powerslide for the medium pace stops. Whatever works for you i guess :)
More tutorials pls. 🙂
110% can confirm there will be more :)
10:17 bookmarked again for this beautiful move
Anyway thank you mate for this helpful tutorial. Finaly I can do magic slide without harming my knees with soul slide.
Your tutorial can make me slide with left foot or right foot.
God bless you mate! Thank you!!
Glad to hear it mate. Thank you!
my comment one year ago!!, I learned magic slide from you especially because your magic is so smooth.
Now, I can do magic while going downhill! But still not as smooth as you bro.
Anyway, Thanks My friend! Do you have IG mate? Let us be friend!!
Well done ;)
Thank you!
Ive just watched the shop task video before yours ajjajaja. Awesome info. Thx!
Yeah, they have a great video. Glad you stopped by here :)
my fav slide:)
Me too :)
Same here ☝️.
Thanx bro..,, namaste frim indonesia
Hello from Australia :)
I’ve watched this in the past, but somehow forgot all your tips. Have you seen Nathan Swiss roller school? With your and his drills I am confident this is the year I will get my magic slide down. Last year it was Saúl slide and power slide finally learning not to jump into my power slides
I very much have. He is a great teacher and makes great videos. I really hope you nail it :)
Nice work with this tutorial, Dude! I don't soul-slide, and even when I power-slide I don't do the whole serving thing, I transition onto a backwards skate in an almost flying-kick style movement, so I imagine I'll have a bit of learning ahead of me with this one, but that's all part of the fun, right?
Thank you! And yeah I am familiar with that way of sliding. Considering you're quite a good skater, you should pick this up quicker than others. The thing that will probably trouble you the most is overcoming the mindset of how the magic slide works. Best of luck, and yeah that is the best part about skating :D
Natan rollerschool says keep those arms forward Facing down the slope to counteract your weight. Definitely don’t flale them around. I think you give a good tip to keep the arms up high to prevent side to side balance loss. How the hell did you do that trick after your “mistake” magic slide. Quick transition from front to back scissor your feet? I wish I could transition front to back like I see certain UA-camrs doing it is so smooth looking and I have no clue what they’re doing LOL.
As I said in the other comment I replied to of yours, Natan is a great teacher and makes great videos/tutorials. I always say this to everyone, when it really comes down to it, you really need to do what works for you. There are of course some things that you should absolutely never do, but in regards to things like your arm positioning, there may be certain ways recommended or what is suggested to be safer/easier, but when it comes down to it you need to do what works for you. I find the best way to do that is researching multiple ways of doing a certain thing, then trying them all out, or even combining them together to see what works best for you, because that's what it comes down to. As for the trick, no idea. Practicing my Karate! xD I would have to say I'm very average at transitions on skates comparatively to some of the amazing skaters out there.
I can tell you it looks a lot more smooth when you do it versus when I try. I obviously need more practice.
It all came with practice, practice and more practice. Still practice to this day! Keep it going and you will see results!
Nice tutorial there. Been wanting to learn this long ago. May i ask the recommended hardness of the wheel? 85a and above?
Thank you! 84a and above will do just fine :)
Brilliant tutorial. May I know which setup is recommended as a start off. Straight setup or rockered setup?
I can't speak for fully rockered skaters, as I've never used a setup like that before. I currently use Endless Frames which have a balanced rocker and slides feel perfect. Before i was using these frames however, i was using a fully flat setup and they also work perfectly fine. As for frame size/wheel setup, i find that it all depends on how big your foot is, and matching your frames with that. Although 4x80 is fine, 4x90 frames fit my feet perfectly and I can fully control my slides better because it fits me. For reference, my skate is 44-45 (EU). Hope this helps!
Hey there! 🎥 First of all, thanks for the great video! 👍 I really enjoyed it. However, I've noticed that when I try to do the magic slide, it automatically becomes a power slide. 😕 Can you please help me out and let me know what the problem might be
Definitely safer to do: 1. Powerslide [get a feel for losing grip with your wheels] --> 2. Soul slide [stopping at ANY speed, safely. And the first position to the magic slide] --> 3. Magic slide [Just practice pulling in the back foot. And since you already have the soul slide while learning, you can sense when something's off, and bail if needed]. Totally safe.
Very much agree with his as I said in my video. Thank you :)
I couldn’t stop properly when I first started I used the slide to make my stop
A smart move :)
This is one of those things that I want to learn but I don't want to spend the price of new wheels, I'm practicing this at a skatepark with newly paved concrete to make emergency brakes. The con of riding 90mm is the price of the wheels, my next set of wheels cost 13 bucks per wheel.
Yeah unfortunately that is the case. As someone who slides an awful lot, I can tell you that it definitely hurts the bank account. Then again, this is one of the most helpful things you can learn if you are wanting to feel safe skating at any time. So it is sort of a trade off. Maybe practice it now, then once you have got it down, then you only have to do it when you need to.
@@BladerzOfficial I will learn to slide in this summer before I do replace my wheels because I need this skill to ride in the city, currently I do ride spinner wheels and these wheels are quite good. If they slide I can buy these wheels instead of the expensive wheels I thought of buying yesterday. Now there is a great video, I lack excuses so I have to learn the slides asap!
Bookmarked on 5:06 on 2.5x speed for my preference
Oath.
🙂👊
is it easier to control the slide with bigger wheels?
Some people find it easier with bigger wheels. Personally, I've used 4x80, 4x90, and 3x100 frames for sliding. The best one by far in my opinion is 4x90 because the frame is longer, wheels are bigger and you have more surface area connected to the ground. Hope this helps :)
Which wheels u recommend? 85A great?
85a will be just fine. I usually recommend between 84a-90a.
What is the durability of your wheels? durometer
I recommend 84a lowest, and 90a highest. I've tried all sorts of wheels in this range, and I personally find that 85a is overall the most consistent.
How can one learn magic or parallel slide without any protection? I spent last month trying to lazily learn parallel and had at least 3 times my shin skin badly scraped from falls. You fall at least once on your back and are not even wearing a helmet. This is probably my only complaint about overall great video.
I would have to agree, I definitely should of recommended using protective gear when learning slides, tricks, etc. When it comes down to it though, it is everyone's choice whether they want to wear protective gear or not. I hope the video helped you :)
Nice breakdown! Good work.
But don't call Greg Mirzoyan a simple "Rollerblade guy". He's a Legend.
Thank you :) Also I didn't actually say simple, and didn't mean for it to come off that way. I know how much he is respected. But apologies if it came off that way.
@@BladerzOfficial no problem.
Greg pretty much invented the high speed magic slide for the urban context. I knew which clip was coming as soon as you mentioned it . Your video explains his ‘you can put the back foot in your pocket if you like’ very well.
Greg is unreal. and cheers!
I can parallel slide (which is supossed to be harder) but when I try to magic slide my backfoot does not slide and I last with a powerslide...:(
This is the most common thing people find troubling when practicing the magic slide. I had the exact same problem. The things I would suggest doing is first of all, finding a slippery surface which will make the sliding part much easier. The thing you will find hard to do is fully committing to the slide. Unfortunately when it comes to skills like this, you have to 100% commit into the slide, because as soon as you don't, that's where the serious injuries happen.
@@BladerzOfficial thanks for the answer!! :)
You said it, but it deserves repetition, and caps. COMMIT. As long you you have hard wheels, the difference between a slide and an endo is the commit, IMO. If you can't shake the fear, pad yourself up like a wuss and just do it. Really, once it clicks, the physics seem intuitive. You really have to commit though. This rule applies to most things in life as well.
Well said. Definitely agree.
