This was great. I taught my 8 year old how to skate using your advice. I can't believe this video is only 11 days old, it sounds like you've been doing this for a while. I wish you could see the smile on his face as he started getting it. Thank you so much.
compliment list: -hilarious -so useful so so so so useful -the hair. -the fit. -the skates. -the way the video was sorted perfectly 🙏 -short and to the point
I am 50+ year old man and apart from 4-5 ice skating lessons 20 years ago, I had never tried any other kind of skating before. I bought roller skates, went through this video couple of times and then practiced exactly as you mentioned and I was able to reach v-glide within 2 days. Thank you very much.
i was the one kid in my gym class that couldn't get off the training mat and skate with everyone else, but after watching you explain it I can immediately tell EXACTLY what I was doing wrong lmfao you're a good teacher
girl I bought my first pair of roller skates TODAY and searched "how to roller skate beginners" and here you are... best energy EVER!! love this video and feeling inspired to try. THANK YOU!!
I used to be so scared of skating, I would always think I would fall and break a leg. But this video helped me so much I glided through my backyard like a pro! This video helped so much! Thank you! 🙏🏾
My friends and I were going to a skating rink, and I had no idea how to skate for my life. I put on my skates and pulled this video life, and IT IS A LIFE SAVER! Now i don't have to slip, trip, do a flip and crack my skull open trying to skate with my friends. I've been practicing more thankfully. THANK YOU!
I saw these people rollerskating and dancing at the b-ball courts today and I was thinking, "I wanna start rollerskating like them; they are so cool!". And your video shows up a few hours later. The way you teach is so amazing that anyone is able to pick up something difficult and break it down so efficiently; you are an amazing teacher! Gonna order some skates now! :]
I’m still a super beginner, but I haven’t picked up my skates in a while due to a tailbone injury. This video lets me know that it’s time to put my skates back on & keep learning. Thank you for sharing🤎!!
I fell and had a tailbone injury too. On Amazon I got the Soared 3D Protection Hip Butt EVA Paded Short Pants Protective Gear Guard. I fell with these on and didn''t feel a thing. However my head snapped back but I was wearing a helmet as well. It was a cheap and did not give much protection because I felt the pain from that too. I then ordered a better helmet. Also ordered a skate mate to hold on to while practicing. I'm through skating if I can't do it with the help of these items. Just wanted to let you know that the paded short pants will protect your bottom.
Yay I'm 52! I roller skating at the rink as a child for many years and then again when I was in my twenties I got some rollerblades 30 years later here I am. Good luck to you too I hope you've been having fun😊
I've been so scared of skating my entire life. I was the kid that gripped the sides and skated on the carpet at the rink. This video was so straight forward, kind, and beautiful. I hope to get back in shape to try this again. A whole beginners series would be amazing. thank you from the bottom of my heart 💜
I recently got a job and now that I'm financially stable, I've been wanting to buy and learn roller skating. This is so helpful because it's everything I need as a novice in 1 video. Thank you so much. If you haven't already, I'd love a video about beginner roller skates and the differences between each type of skates.
I'm on my late 30's, I haven't skate in the past 20 years or so....and thanks to this video I'm gliding around on my brand new skate, every day more confidence and more happy. Thank you for share your knowledge here 😊
THANK YOU SO MUCH!! My roller skates have been laying around for YEARS, but I randomly noticed them, found this video and BOOM!! I CAN SKATE, BABY!!❤❤❤❤
Bet! This is my sign to redeem myself from childhood and buy a pair of roller skates and actually stick with it and LEARN! Love your energy and personality. These steps make it seem so simple and put a lot of things into perspective haha
Man I broke my tailbone skating at a rink when I was a kid and have always been terrified of trying it again. I'm not saying I will, but you make it look so easy and fun that I wouldn't say no to trying again in the future.
@@KelahCash I have some saturated purple Boardwalk skates! I’m not that deep into skating so I don’t know much but they seemed to be recommended by long time skaters so I chose them ☺️
@@OldObscureUnpopularGames Thank you so much, Kasia! You have such a beautiful name, btw! I'm excited to finally get some skates & get practicing 😍 so I'm happy you got yours!
Dear Dasia, I have been wanting to skate for some time now. I was sheltered as a child. Lonely and never learned more than bikes and scooters. With increase in popularity online I wanted to learn to skate so I could have some lovely new way to groove to music and express myself. I finally went to the skate shop and ordered my skates but it'd take two weeks to come in. During my inspiration time while waiting I watched this video. I practiced the movements and wondered if it'd really be that simple. Well. I threw everything in my car, got to the abandoned basketball court I'd had my eye on for a month as I debated possibilities and I stood up. Practiced and I did it!! I was gliding along with you. I was even turning around using the v and when I went a little too fast I just fell back into that v with the tight thigh and slowed myself. Even if I accidentally felt like I'd be going backward I remembered your words. It was a magical first experience and it was only my first 15 minutes on skates! Here I thought I'd be on my butt in two seconds but your instructions and helpful tips in these and other videos inspired me and enlightened me that it's kind of like riding a horse. Something I have much knowledge in. Once I understood that It all seemed to click. Thank you. Thank you so much for these videos. You are an angel and I am so grateful for your content. You got this 30year old newborn bambii on her new feet. ❤
Can’t wait to see backwards skating teaching! I’ve owned skates since 2020 I can only skate forward. I can teach myself to do things forwards, but when it comes to going backwards it’s a mess!
Thank you!!! I am rollerskating for a class at school and I watched this on the bus ride over and was able to skate so much better than last time! THANK YOU SO MUCH!
I learned to skate as a little kid back in the 80s. I would skate for hours in the neighborhood or at the skating rink. It never occured to me how to explain how to do it. Your video is excellent!!! I was trying to teach my little kids how to skate but i was all over the place and just kind of showing them what i do instead of giving good tips or actual advice. I will definitely try again and this is super easy to understand and explain. Youre the best!! And your skates are so cute!!! ❤❤❤❤
I put on my skates like 30 min ago and now with your video I felt if I have been using them for weeks hahaha “why did I limit myself from joy for so looong”
I bought skates yesterday because I seen soy Luna 4 is coming back and I’m honestly in the skating spirit since 2018 anyway so I finally bought skates yesterday I’m finally trying learning a new hobby and I saw this video and I will be practicing with this tomorrow thank u 🥳
This video snapped me out of whatever youtube rabbit hole got me here. Thank you for that. Even though I am not exactly the target audience, I wanted to stop and make sure to take note of how great of a camera presence you have. You absolutely disserve success and I hope it continues to find you in your slice of youtube!
WOW! Your laugh and personality is so wonderful & your teaching is amazing. The amount of patience in explaining the steps and how you use metaphors is genius. I learned so much in such a short time! Thank you 💕
Hello! I used to love going to the skating rink when I was younger but I was never really good. I recently inherited a pair of skates that actually fit and have really desired getting into it and really learning how to skate. Today my 6yr old was wanting to learn and I want to be able to share this with him. I love your energy and I'm so glad I found your videos! I can't wait to start tomorrow! I will let you know how it goes! Thank you so much for being here!
I'm 71 years old, and I really enjoy hearing you talk about skating. I have wonderful memories of the skating rinks of my younger years. I have also enjoyed hearing you talk about your strength as a black woman participating in our democracy. God bless you, whether you believe or not. Persons like you restore my faith in humanity. ❤❤❤
for some reason youtube keeps recommending me this video and i was like FINE i'll watch it, i'm kinda curious... girl you made me want to go out and get a pair of roller skates.
I started learning how to skate last year but haven’t been skating for the past few months so I feel like I’ve forgotten everything… but this video gave me the confidence to start again! you’re an amazingly effective teacher and i love your vibes; subbed for more skate videos!!
Best skating tutorial! My 11 year old watched multiple other vids with no success. She watched your video and got skating with little effort. She's so stoked. Thank you!
You are such a great teacher! I can't wait to implement your tips and beginner steps. I've been struggling to get the weight shifting and posture right. But your video shows all of this so clearly and you explain it so well. Thank you!!
Wow I started trying to learn how to skate right when it blew up during the pandemic so there weren't as many good videos out there. I feel like this is the best video I've seen for beginners, very descriptive and was able to visualize things very well!
OMG I just clocked out, saw this video pop up in my recommended and 6 minutes later I’m skating!! Omgggg I’m literally yelling. Thank you girl. I’m so happy you just don’t know ❤
I've been debating starting roller skating for the past 2 weeks, but I finally decided to just take the plunge and bought my first pair of skates! I'm practicing at home with this video, and it's already so much fun. Thank you for being an amazing teacher and a motivator!
that was the most random thing that apeared on my yt timeline and i absolutelly loved that! My knees are super bad and i could even feel the joy of gliding just by looking at ter!
i’ve been reteaching myself how to skate after having not done it since i was a kid! i’m now allowing myself about 6 feet of clearance after getting my balance down with the moving my weight side to side thing. i was always great with my balance this is just so new. i’m using my leg muscles to pull me backward after i go to the edge. after i get a little more comfortable it’ll be learning to turn around. thank you so much for taking the time to post videos like these.
I have never put on quad skates in my life outside of roller rink field trips, however I somehow ended up on this video, Your personality and love of skating and how WONDERFULLY you explained all this just made me buy $120 skates cause now I wanna learn how to do this.
Finally got my skates last week and fallowed your advice; you are magic, thank you so much it definitely worked. I was moving around soon enough and well enough that it gave me the confidence to know I'll be able to do this, specially as a first timer at my age (40), absolutely love you for this, thank you.
(Using CAPS TO HIGHLIGHT) Wow! I Adore your videos! Yesterday i put roller skates for the first time on my feet and started to learn with your videos! I have NEVER ROLLERSKATE OR ROLLERBLADE BEFORE Today day 2, I can ROLLERBLADE ROLLER SKATE! Thank you so much! You are a fabulous teacher!
Decided to relive my youth and have a roller skate birthday party for my 40th. Literally haven't skated in decades but your tutorial helped me find my balance again. Tjanks!🎉
A true teacher. You can do more with this wonderful culture of skating. Can there be people elsewhere who can be interested in the skating as you guys are doing? By looking at you, I strongly believe that you have huge spaces where you can get people adopt the skating.
My daughter has been using her skates but didn’t know how to glide. She’d push off using her brakes and I really didn’t know how to teach her. So I came across this video and just watching it once she got it down! So thank you for this, you really did a great job describing and teaching it.
I can't tell you how excited I am to see a Black woman teaching beginner's skating tips!! I bought new skates (with the wide wheels) a few years ago. I started learning to skate about ten years ago and didn't practice enough. I'm going to take out my new skates (with my safety gear) and try again. I've been wanting to add roller skating to my fitness routine for a long time. Thank you so much!!
Your energy makes me so happy. Also, you’re a great teacher. I wish I had a video as clear as this one when I was teaching myself to ride a bike in college. (Sooo many foolish, embarrassing bike accidents 😅) But I’m excited to try skating again, so thank you!
You are amazing 🤩 My daughter and I watched your videos and now she it a 5y/o skater gurl!!! You’re a very informative instructor! Thank you Btw: your skin is moisturized!
Ok SKATER QUEEN! I’m a seasoned woman who’s looking to become a skate diva again. It's nice to see you teach skating in a way that others understand it but also to be able to refresh yourself as well!💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
Picked up my skates for the first time in years, I’ve been nervous to go again after a car accident and head injuries. Your energy is amazing! Awesome refresher
omg the way u explain feels very meditative almost... i love your explanations! i've always wanted to learn how to skate but my balance is terrible :'l but this vid got recced to me by the algorithm and i feel hopeful that maybe i can do it too!! ❤
I’m super afraid of skating because I already have balance issues but this explained it so well, I feel like I understand the universe. I might have to take my skates back out ! ( they’re literally at the foot of my bed lol ) Thanks for this video !!
This UA-cam video is a life changer. I haven’t skated in about 10 years and wanted to try again. With this video, I went from using a crutch to being able to walk. 🎉 I know I need more practice to be truly comfortable, but thank you for helping me get onto my feet!
Much appreciation. Trying to teach my 8yo but hVnt been on a pair in 15 years. Your explanation is exactly like mine just more understandable. Hard to explain something you haven't done in over a decade.
@@DasiaDoesIt truthfully? If she catches on good I will. Like when she caught on to riding a bike I got one myself to ride with her. Everything I've ever got my child, x game sports is her favorite over dolls games and almost make up. Lol. I genuinely appreciate the vids and plan to watch more.
I tried skating before, but I couldn’t move AT ALL. Trust me when I say it took me an hour to take a lap around the entire rink one time. With these tips, I’m sure I’ll be able to roller skate- thank you ❤❤
I KID YOU NOT, every other roller skating video has left me confused and feeling like I just can’t do it. This is the nicest explanation, thorough, visual, and the way you were speaking made me feel like we were friends and you were showing me how to do it in a supportive way 😊❤ Thank you!
I'm in LOVE with this video! I don't know why UA-cam recommended this to me, I don't even have a roller skate + I'm known for my terrible sport skills, but this video is SO motivating and encouraging, I'm gonna give this a try 😎
AHHH TYSM! I went roller skating for the second time ever yesterday, and... it was kinda a flop. My legs are still sore lol. But my mom is planning on getting me some for my birthday maybe, so I can practice! 😊 Edit: I just finished the video and WOAH! This is way less complex than I thought lol I can’t wait to get my new pair of skates and start trying :)
Thank you for making this video! I am 48 years old and getting back on skates for the first time in many years. I stood there literally shaking in my boots and then decided to find a tutorial to help me remember how to skate. 😂 Your video was very helpful, and even though I was only brave enough to try baby v-steps, I finished today's skating attempt a whole lot more confident than I was when I started. I'll keep trying! Thank you for being awesome!
I was gifted my first pair of skates as an early Mother’s Day present today. I had your voice in my head the whole time I was practicing and I felt so confident! Thank you for breaking everything down!!
Thank You So Much! I hadn't been on roller skates in 40 years and to say the first time out went poorly is a huge understatement. After watching your Video I went back to the rink and BOOM! I WAS SKATING! Your quick lesson is going to keep me skating pain free 😅 You Are AWESOME!
Oh my god THANK YOU!! I’ve had my roller skates from a garage sale for a year now and have been so terrified of practicing. You’re video has helped so much!!! Thank you!!
1:12 "that ankle is not going anywhere" I beg to differ (broke my ankle in 10 with quads) 😅 So my advice would be not to overlook that ankle protection
This is the best how to roller skate video I have seen!! My family and I have recently been going to our local skating rink every Sunday for four weeks now. The last time we went I got so discouraged because after 36 years of not skating I completely forgot how to and I fell really hard on my but, almost knocked the breath out of me. But I wasn’t gonna give up, watched this video on the next Saturday and used the lesson here Sunday and I was rolling at the rink, and I didn’t fall this time, I was so proud!! Such a great vid!!! Thank you!!!❤❤
OH MY GOD i saw this video and immediately put on my skates and did this in my room and woah i know how to rollerskate now thank you SO MUCH

You are such a great teacher! I can't wait to implement your tips and beginner steps. I've been struggling to get the weight shifting and posture right. But your video shows all of this so clearly and you explain it so well. Thank you!!
Wow I started trying to learn how to skate right when it blew up during the pandemic so there weren't as many good videos out there. I feel like this is the best video I've seen for beginners, very descriptive and was able to visualize things very well!
OMG I just clocked out, saw this video pop up in my recommended and 6 minutes later I’m skating!! Omgggg I’m literally yelling. Thank you girl. I’m so happy you just don’t know ❤
Welcome to the club Boo!🫶🏾✨🛼
I've been debating starting roller skating for the past 2 weeks, but I finally decided to just take the plunge and bought my first pair of skates! I'm practicing at home with this video, and it's already so much fun. Thank you for being an amazing teacher and a motivator!
My whole family got into skating this year. I’ve been researching on skating techniques and this video was one of the best ones. Keep it up. ❤
Just taught my 8 yr old how to skate on her first time pacing up her skates because of this video. Thank you so much for sharing this!
that was the most random thing that apeared on my yt timeline and i absolutelly loved that!
My knees are super bad and i could even feel the joy of gliding just by looking at ter!
i’ve been reteaching myself how to skate after having not done it since i was a kid! i’m now allowing myself about 6 feet of clearance after getting my balance down with the moving my weight side to side thing. i was always great with my balance this is just so new. i’m using my leg muscles to pull me backward after i go to the edge. after i get a little more comfortable it’ll be learning to turn around. thank you so much for taking the time to post videos like these.
Your limitless positivity and clear instructions have made this an absolute joy to watch through, I’m excited to try to skate later this week
I have never put on quad skates in my life outside of roller rink field trips, however I somehow ended up on this video, Your personality and love of skating and how WONDERFULLY you explained all this just made me buy $120 skates cause now I wanna learn how to do this.
Finally got my skates last week and fallowed your advice; you are magic, thank you so much it definitely worked. I was moving around soon enough and well enough that it gave me the confidence to know I'll be able to do this, specially as a first timer at my age (40), absolutely love you for this, thank you.
Welcome to the club love. You definitely got this.
This is the best beginning skate video I've seen. love the walk/skate demos. Thank You!
✨❤️ thank you!!
(Using CAPS TO HIGHLIGHT)
Wow! I Adore your videos! Yesterday i put roller skates for the first time on my feet and started to learn with your videos! I have NEVER ROLLERSKATE OR ROLLERBLADE BEFORE
Today day 2, I can ROLLERBLADE ROLLER SKATE!
Thank you so much! You are a fabulous teacher!
Decided to relive my youth and have a roller skate birthday party for my 40th. Literally haven't skated in decades but your tutorial helped me find my balance again. Tjanks!🎉
Just the right lesson at the right time . I’m about to purchase a roller skate boots and I was looking for practise videos.
A true teacher. You can do more with this wonderful culture of skating. Can there be people elsewhere who can be interested in the skating as you guys are doing?
By looking at you, I strongly believe that you have huge spaces where you can get people adopt the skating.
maam RESPECTFULLY youre absolutely stunning PLUS you teached me how to use the rollerskates i just bought, ur my idol frfr
My daughter has been using her skates but didn’t know how to glide. She’d push off using her brakes and I really didn’t know how to teach her. So I came across this video and just watching it once she got it down! So thank you for this, you really did a great job describing and teaching it.
I can't tell you how excited I am to see a Black woman teaching beginner's skating tips!! I bought new skates (with the wide wheels) a few years ago. I started learning to skate about ten years ago and didn't practice enough.
I'm going to take out my new skates (with my safety gear) and try again. I've been wanting to add roller skating to my fitness routine for a long time. Thank you so much!!
this was SO HELPFUL GIRL. i really hope you make more skating content! it looks like you really enjoy rollerskating and i can see the passion ❤❤❤
Your energy makes me so happy. Also, you’re a great teacher. I wish I had a video as clear as this one when I was teaching myself to ride a bike in college. (Sooo many foolish, embarrassing bike accidents 😅) But I’m excited to try skating again, so thank you!
I came, I saw.
I shifted, I lifted.
You are amazing 🤩
My daughter and I watched your videos and now she it a 5y/o skater gurl!!!
You’re a very informative instructor!
Thank you
Btw: your skin is moisturized!
What an amazing soul. Can’t wait to see more ❤
Well now I feel compelled to start skating. Thanks Dasia!
waiting on you friend. :-)
@@DasiaDoesIt As a fellow neuro-divergent you already know my adhd/autistic attributes have me wanting to do all the things 🤣
This was amazing I know how to skate but I needed help with laceing up. I'm about to start roller derby so this was a much needed lesson
Ok SKATER QUEEN! I’m a seasoned woman who’s looking to become a skate diva again. It's nice to see you teach skating in a way that others understand it but also to be able to refresh yourself as well!💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
Picked up my skates for the first time in years, I’ve been nervous to go again after a car accident and head injuries. Your energy is amazing! Awesome refresher
omg the way u explain feels very meditative almost... i love your explanations! i've always wanted to learn how to skate but my balance is terrible :'l but this vid got recced to me by the algorithm and i feel hopeful that maybe i can do it too!! ❤
I’m super afraid of skating because I already have balance issues but this explained it so well, I feel like I understand the universe. I might have to take my skates back out ! ( they’re literally at the foot of my bed lol ) Thanks for this video !!
I LOVE your positive vibes and attitude. Such beautiful and uplifting energy!! thank you so much for the advice I will be subscribing :)
This UA-cam video is a life changer. I haven’t skated in about 10 years and wanted to try again. With this video, I went from using a crutch to being able to walk. 🎉
I know I need more practice to be truly comfortable, but thank you for helping me get onto my feet!
Much appreciation. Trying to teach my 8yo but hVnt been on a pair in 15 years. Your explanation is exactly like mine just more understandable. Hard to explain something you haven't done in over a decade.
You’re welcome! When are you going to strap yours on? ❤️
@@DasiaDoesIt truthfully? If she catches on good I will. Like when she caught on to riding a bike I got one myself to ride with her. Everything I've ever got my child, x game sports is her favorite over dolls games and almost make up. Lol. I genuinely appreciate the vids and plan to watch more.
I tried skating before, but I couldn’t move AT ALL. Trust me when I say it took me an hour to take a lap around the entire rink one time.
With these tips, I’m sure I’ll be able to roller skate- thank you ❤❤
you for posting this Dasia!! Very helpful!! I’m going to get on my “zoom” 😂 😂
Yes! that's what I am talking about so glad it was helpful!
You can tell she REALLLLY enjoys teaching people how to skate. 🥰💖
I KID YOU NOT, every other roller skating video has left me confused and feeling like I just can’t do it. This is the nicest explanation, thorough, visual, and the way you were speaking made me feel like we were friends and you were showing me how to do it in a supportive way 😊❤ Thank you!
I’m 54 years old and I’m going to buy a pair of skates and try this! Thank you so very much!❤❤❤
Great video! You’re an awesome teacher, thank you so much!
I'm in LOVE with this video! I don't know why UA-cam recommended this to me, I don't even have a roller skate + I'm known for my terrible sport skills, but this video is SO motivating and encouraging, I'm gonna give this a try 😎
I love to see beautiful success in life
AHHH TYSM! I went roller skating for the second time ever yesterday, and... it was kinda a flop. My legs are still sore lol. But my mom is planning on getting me some for my birthday maybe, so I can practice! 😊
Edit: I just finished the video and WOAH! This is way less complex than I thought lol I can’t wait to get my new pair of skates and start trying :)
Omg yes! I am so glad you are going to get back out there!
Love how you got straight to the point!
Thank you for making this video! I am 48 years old and getting back on skates for the first time in many years. I stood there literally shaking in my boots and then decided to find a tutorial to help me remember how to skate. 😂 Your video was very helpful, and even though I was only brave enough to try baby v-steps, I finished today's skating attempt a whole lot more confident than I was when I started. I'll keep trying! Thank you for being awesome!
My mom does roller derby and taught me how to skate, and I am amazed at how great this tutorial is!
Loved the video!!! 💕 Can you make a video on skating backwards? It’s the only thing I’m having a problem with, can’t really get the hang of it 😅
I was gifted my first pair of skates as an early Mother’s Day present today. I had your voice in my head the whole time I was practicing and I felt so confident! Thank you for breaking everything down!!
Thank You So Much! I hadn't been on roller skates in 40 years and to say the first time out went poorly is a huge understatement. After watching your Video I went back to the rink and BOOM! I WAS SKATING! Your quick lesson is going to keep me skating pain free 😅 You Are AWESOME!
I learned to skate when I was 5 or 6 years old. Why am I watching this?
Same. UA-cam just knew we would love her vibe
So did I but I am older and just bought a pair to try skating again. Been over 15 yrs I skated my daughter was 12. Just need to refresh my skills
I started skating at 7 or 8
I’m about to skate for the first time since I was a kid and I’m TERRIFIED. thanks for making this video, it’s helping
Okay but....how do you break???
I got you it’s coming.✨❤️
It’s an automatic. Once you learn how to rollerblade or skate. Brake comes along.
It comes with the roller stakes
You actually gotta buy the brakes separate, usually retail for about $100+
@@Troybwoyynot always, you can get pairs with brakes (unless this is a joke and I’m just missing it lmao)
Oh my god THANK YOU!! I’ve had my roller skates from a garage sale for a year now and have been so terrified of practicing. You’re video has helped so much!!! Thank you!!
I love when people are a passionate about what they do you can see it, you can feel it. You are fantastic at explaining these steps!
1:12 "that ankle is not going anywhere" I beg to differ (broke my ankle in 10 with quads) 😅 So my advice would be not to overlook that ankle protection
Injuries are such a bummer! Hope you healed well.❤
my only issue is finding a good place to practice skating without feeling weird about people being there 😭
JUST DO IT LIKE NOBODY'S WATCHING!! And if they are, you will prob be an inspiration to them!!
This is the best how to roller skate video I have seen!! My family and I have recently been going to our local skating rink every Sunday for four weeks now. The last time we went I got so discouraged because after 36 years of not skating I completely forgot how to and I fell really hard on my but, almost knocked the breath out of me. But I wasn’t gonna give up, watched this video on the next Saturday and used the lesson here Sunday and I was rolling at the rink, and I didn’t fall this time, I was so proud!! Such a great vid!!! Thank you!!!❤❤
