Thank you 🤍
that is a great break down, thanks, helps so much
What brand do you recommend for beginners? Just to stroll around
Uh I have a question. Do you carry extra shoes while skating on the road?
This was posted on my birthday
God bless, Merci
I feel offended that you had to apologize 😂
Right
I feel offended that my cousin died skating without a helmet.
@@katerkate seriously...
@@katerkate I'm really sorry for you, but it's not her fault
@@katerkateI'm so sorry:(
i feel like people like holding women to a standard they just wouldn't do for men. if you were a guy falling and throwing thierself off a skateboard and potentially getting injured i don't think people would tell you you be responsible for other people's kids watching .... your response was mature but it was honestly a little jarring because I'm pretty sure you shouldn't have had to apologize
Thank you for your understanding 🥺💖
@@cheunglindaa this happens to me all the time. I skate past men (its only ever men) that yell at me to 'be careful' -__-
Agreed!!
@@cheunglindaa hiiiiiii
I follow an inline skating subreddit, which is mostly men skating and doing 10x crazier things than I see women wearing quads doing and like 80% of the time they're not wearing helmets and no one says anything.
You don't have to apologize at all. There's nothing to be mad about.
Right!! I find it so weird that people get mad?? Like what??? I don't get it
@@hobimysunshine7 ikr it’s so unnecessary 😐
You mean like losing a family member to a reventable head injury while skating?
@@katerkate why would that be her fault? She didn’t push them over. If there are kids watching (which they obviously shouldn’t), the parents have a job to do if they haven’t learned their kids about safety and to follow up on them to see if the actually do it.
@@katerkate what’s your point? Did she cause the head injury. If the family lets their kids or family skate it’s their business. She doesn’t control anything.
Some of the things I learned in my first year of skating:
- feeling like you're loosing balance? SQUAT. The more you bend your knees and widen your stance, the easier it is to regain balance (and if you end up falling, it won't hurt as bad)
- if you're looking for new skates, choose a model with an adjustable toestop. My first skates didn't have those and as the toestops wore down I had to get used to a new angle of contact with the ground. With an adjustable toespot you can, well, adjust that angle so it stays the same, and also make sure it fits your preference.
- get comfortable with taking your skates apart. You will be doing a lot of it as you explore what type of skating suits you best. Chances are you will want to loosen/tighten your trucks or change your wheels. The sooner you figure out how to do those, the more comfortable you can be while learning how to skate.
- if you can only wear one piece of protective gear, wear knee pads. You will be hitting your knees the most, with your wrists as a close runner up. And it's pointless to buy cheap protective gear, it won't really protect from anything. Investing in good protection is investing in your health.
- if you're planning on using toe guards, go for the full ones (the ones that go over the enire front of the boot). The ones that only cover the tip twist everytime you scratch the ground so you constantly have to rearrange them.
- skate with friends! You will feel much more relaxed and confident, and it will boost the speed of your progress.
This is so helpful! Thanks for the tips 💚💚
Thank you!
This is super helpful thank you
Can I ask what brand of protective gear you use? I'm trying to find some good knee/elbow/wrist pads that aren't too expensive.
Helmet is more important though, the brain is fragile.
I love skating because it pushes me to trust myself. I am someone who tends to doubt herself and someone who second guess. With skating i have to trust that i can do it and i have to trust that i wont fall.
This comment is amazing. I feel the exact same way
Same and I think this is the sign to buy roller skate
perfect explanation of what I'm currently dealing with
@@Samantha-vllyDid you buy skates?
the helmet part was so extra.....i’ve NEVER seen anyone comment on male skaters not wearing helmets they don’t even wear protective gear ??? I think you’re fine and you aren’t responsible for other people’s kids.
You can not wear a helmet, it's allowed! It's crazy that so many people cared.
I think that some of them were just scared she’d hurt herself, it’s still not their place to be and ofc you don’t need to use a helmet. But I just think they cared. Sorry if I’m sounding mean or so.
@@teklalt3664 Don't apologize you don't sound mean at all! I understood the genuine concern for my safety in the comments and I do appreciate all of them. I did however receive some comments that sounded a little more aggressive and they seemed genuinely angry that I chose not to wear a helmet, so I did want to apologize to those that I have upset because it was not my intention. Hope that clears it up a little!! All love here 💞
@@cheunglindaa ok. You should still not have to say sorry but I’m glad I’m on the same page as u.😊
ye, I regulary go ice skating, no one wears a helmet there lol.
@@cutiecakeq9725 i don't think your supposed?
My logical opinion is:
if you’re a child, then you need to wear a helmet. Period.
If you’re a teen, then it’s up to your parents (bc they’re paying your bills if you’re injured.)
If you’re an adult, make the decision yourself unless it’s enforced in your area.
Make the decision for yourself? How about wear the helmet anyways because it prevents your loved ones from having to take care of you when you smash your head on the ground and turn into a vegetable. This happened to my moms best friend. It’s absolute idiocy to not wear a helmet
@@AMK544 yah thats why they are adults. its a not very smart to not wear one as an adult but if they get hurt thats on them for making that choice.
@@AMK544 how about we are not authoritarian and let adults make their own decisions 😀
Agreed. I bought my skates last year and I'm a grown adult, and you have more control of your body and balance. You should ALWAYS wear a helmet at the skate park. If youre just doing drills or skating for fun, there's no need to wear a helmet. All kids should wear a helmet if theyre beginners!! Personally, I had been to the skate rink and had rollerbladed as a kid so i didnt feel the need to wear a helmet. Ive been rollerskating for over a year and I've only bonked my head on the sidewalk once. I do think if youre out of your comfort zone, WEAR A HELMET. But if youre an adult you dont really need to wear a helmet if you have your pads on (i wear my pads 100% of the time outside). Again, this is personal to me because i had bladed as a kid some, so i knew that i could contorl my balance and knew "how" to fall
@@MyFictionalChaos to be honest, I skate completely without any protective gear, but I don´t do stuff that I can´t do comfortably. (So at the moment, it´s just standing and going in circles around my street at a jogging pace) My hypothesis is: as long as I don´t skate faster, it´s just running with extra wheels ;)
I picked up roller skating because I really wanted to learn artistic skating--- I thought it was the closest thing I could get to figure skating, which I've always loved watching on the Olympics when I was younger. Ice skating isn't always available, so I'm really glad roller skating is something you can do year-round. I've enjoyed every minute of learning-- even if it's hard! I'm not an athletic person at all, but it's a really fun and artistic physical activity that's been helping me to not just be active and healthy, but to also release some stress :~)
@chelseameroll on insta btw! im a baby skater haha
You can’t skate all year round in central NY lol
I grew up roller skating never wore a helmet I'm 46 and still roller skating ..
Im 48 have only just started skating last weekend my 2nd lesson tomorrow I bought myself a pair of purple glam crazy skates also got elbow knee n wrist pads but not a helmet im skating at a skating rink hoping I get better as I go along havent skated since I was a teenager
In 50 and I am gonna start roller skating again. I was a great skater when I was younger. Didn't skate again until 40 but they closed the only roller skating rink 8n south London.. so ten years later gonna start again
As you should
Yup I fell so mamy times and almost fell many more in front of my oarentd but I never used any protective gear and still don't ...I've gotten better tho!
I need protective gear for my butt!
You don’t need to apologize to them. THEY are not your parents, so no one should make you feel “irresponsible” and feel they need an apology from you because you decided you didn’t want to wear a helmet. You’re also not a child, you know what you’re doing and you’re doing it well!! I’m so happy for you! Congratulations on your progress!!
A butt pad would have been awesome when my dogs leash got wrapped up in my skates and I busted my butt🤦🏽♀️
i fell and hit my tailbone a month or so ago and it still hurts sometimes when i move or sit on it too long 😭
Just received my skates today.. haven’t unboxed them yet, awaiting all my skating gear. Cant wait I’m so excited to learn at 43 of age 😫
How's it going? I just received my skates this week and at 44 I'm super excited.
I'm trying to figure out which skates to buy, and I'm just learning at 37. We've got this
I am older than you just start so don't worry if you want just try make yourself happy if you can't dont worry try your best ^_^
I am 56 and learning. Age ain't an issue! 😜
Starting as well.
I always wanted to be good at roller skating when I was young but was too afraid of embarrassing myself. Now I’m old enough to realize the struggle will be worth it! My skates come in next week 🥰
Me too!! I was afraid of getting hurt more than anything as a kid 😂 I’m so excited for your skates to come in! 💖
I was so afraid of making a fool oh myself in public that I signed up for private lessons. I felt so much better only skating in front of 3 people until I got better.
My sister used to work at a roller rink when I was a kid. I remember it was the coolest job ever when she let me behind the counter to help with all these skates tucked into their cubbies. I went roller skating last weekend for the first time in nearly two decades. I got lost in the flashing disco lights, pop music, and the soft transition from carpet to wood. I felt like a new skater again, my arms flailing in circles. It is such a classic tradition to include the polka dance, chicken dance, and backward skating. I learned backward skating for the first time. Roller skating is that one lover that no matter how much time has passed, they still gives you butterflies.
who got offended by you choosing what to do with your body... let me talk to them 🙃
i think some people were concerned for her safety, and rightfully so! head injuries are no joke!
@@lizsun261 Have you ever had someone you don't know be concerned about you? It's really annoying, now multiply that by however many people were concerned for them.
@@thomasmurphy1699 its also really weird someone you dont know being concerned about you
Someone being concerned for you is not what’s weird, someone thinking they can reprimand you for the choices you make is what’s weird. Head injuries are serious, and it’s okay to recommend that someone wear a helmet but to be forceful in the manner people are is a joke.
The crazy part is I've watched just about every single one of those videos that you mentioned I feel like I'm doing the right things so far
If you don’t want to buy a skate leash you can easily sew one way cheaper with some belting and two d-rings, i just followed a how to post I found on Pinterest, it was very simple and easy!
Omg that's genius!! Thank you for sharing this tip 💞
That's just what I did!
Or buy a dog leash...
Yes Deb and Rebel are the main ones I follow I feel like they’re so optimistic and good at explaining.
When I was little I use skate (inline) and I remember it being so fun and free just rolling past my surroundings. I remember that feeling and decided to try again plenty of years later! Lol but still to this day I just roll straight ahead and it feels so calm, it brings me back to my childhood. That’s why I skate (or decided to start again). 😂 much love 💕🤟🏼
You don't need to apologize to anyone! Anyone who would be 'offended' by YOUR choice for YOUR life really has too much time on their hands. Sheeeeesh....you're awesome. Thank you for your videos!
I had recently been toying with the idea of learning how to skate, but watching your video on learning how to skate in 30 days really gave me that push I needed to say I'm really going to do it. It was really inspiring to see someone doing it who is not a professional and watching during the learning process/ watching you fall and then put more work into it. I feel like watching you made it realistic for me to feel like I could learn too. I'm buying my first pair of skates. Your skating videos are awesome. Please continue to make more as you are able... They're really inspiring for people of any age; I'm 32.
It's not irresponsible. Beginners don't wear helmets in the skating rink. You don't have to address anyone. Always know people will always have something to say. Can't please everyone because they aren't perfect either.
I agree with this. Also, it's because of her awesome videos that I just dropped some serious money on my own pair of skates today because she was so positive about it. And I only skated twice in the past month. That being said, she was accountable when she fell not wearing her gear. And lastly, my BOG OLE HEAD won't find a helmet for my head size until I special order it. So... all in all, everyone makes their own choices. All those worried parents need to monitor what their kids watch and remember that each person makes their own choice. (As if we didn't learn that in this pandemic.) 🙄🙄🙄 #dontgetmestarted. Last to say, she answered very gracefully to everyone despite the fact that she has the option to not acknowledge everybody and their mom. Sigh. Gotta love her
I love that you linked so many helpful videos in your description. Thank you for caring enough for the viewers watching and learning alongside you!
Of course I always want to help out other beginner skaters in any way I can! Glad we can all learn together 💖
Rollerskating gives me such a sense of freedom every time I put skate!! Thank you for this video
Yay I'm so happy you've kept skating!
Thanks for all the great starter info! I'm a bit intimidated to start adjusting my skates and get jamming, but also excited. 😊 Here we go day 2!
Loved your 30 day progress videos! I ran across them right when I received my brand new skates as a complete newbie. Love your positive outlook and persistence and reminds me to have patience in my own journey
Aww I'm so glad you came across my videos and thank you for your kindness!! 😭I hope you're enjoying skating as much as I am!
I’m interested in roller skating because it’s a beautiful healthy sport that I can do alone or socially. 💙💛💙💛💙💛
I actually found your videos looking for advice for my 11 year old daughter, because we’re thinking about getting her roller skates for Christmas, and your videos are very helpful 😊🙏🏼✝️🙏🏼
Congrats on your growth!! I’ve been wanting to pick up skating as a hobby since the beginning of quarantine. Ironically I’ve checked out the skater pages you’ve suggested as I was learning more about it over the last few months, and I also stumbled upon your beginner videos in the process🙌🏽🙌🏽
Love this video! Just got my skates and so glad I was able to watch this before I started! Falling was the most terrifying part but once you fall, the rest of the process gets easier! Thanks Linda!
thank you for apologizing and being humble about your choices, even when I KNOW half the comments about the helmet thing were'nt as kind. i LOVED your videos and it actually helped me a lot in my skates journey
Thank you for your kind reply and support i appreciate it so much 🥺💖
Your tips and your journey are all amazing I just wanna take time to appreciate how organized all your videos are -- even in this one u summed it up from the start! Thank u so much I love your vibe and personality so much!
I always wanted to roller skate cause I need an outlet , and watching your videos on it is only giving me more motivation, so thank you!
Thanks for your skating videos!! I'm just getting back into it (haven't skated since I was a teenager & I'm 50+) and really enjoyed watching your trials & tribulations.
Thank you so much for this! I'm enjoying following your journey.
I'm sorry you were made to feel you had to explain yourself. So glad I found your channel! You seem like such a lovely person.
I just got my first set of roller skates. I don’t see a lot of people of color who are in the skating community. So for a while I thought that it was just something that I shouldn’t do. I decided to start learning anyway and I’m super excited.
@anishinobody
Hi, check out Oumi Janta on insta if you haven't already heard of her, she's become quite famous for her rollerskating skills. Maybe she'll inspire you to keep going :)
As someone who is white this comment is so funny to me. POC STARTED the skate community. Go to any skating rink! I do have to say that the difference between outdoor and jam skating, you will see less POC doing tricks at the skatepark or sidewalk skating. Trust me though, most of skaters at the rink are POC :D
I will have to agree though that a year ago when I started, there weren't many poc youtubers who had a lot of views. But since then, it had blown up & there are a lot of poc sidewalk youtubers who i watch :D
Yea I find this comment funny too bc there are A LOT of poc skaters. There are tons of communities with them especially in Atlanta (which currently im trying to find) so don't be discouraged, u just gotta look in the right places and find the right ppl. Happy skating 😁
What?
Awww your sweet you dont have to apologize to anyone.
You do not need to apologize that’s ridiculous that anyone would even expect that girl!
Your progress is inspiring to watch! ✨
This is probably the most helpful video I’ve watched. Links and all thank you!! 😊
You are so humble and kind 💞
🥺🥺 thank you for your kind words it’s comments like these that make me smile ear to ear 💗🥺
Congratulations!!!
Thank you! I’m looking forward to giving this a try :)
Love your videos! I got my skates today!
Nice😊You summarized everything one has to know when starting👍🏻. I started earlier this year and had to find everything myself. The bearing remover is not a bad idea, because the axes and the bearings can get damaged by removing bearing with the axe, especially light up wheels that have the generator in the middle between the bearings, i scuffed one generator of mine when I went to deep in the middle of the wheel with the axe. I still haven’t got one but it is on my list, until then I try to be careful😅
Your videos helped me so much!
I’m interested in roller skating because I miss the vibes of it. I use to do it as a kid and it was so rejuvenating and I just felt free doing it. Currently waiting for my first pair of my own roller skates to come in. 💛
Girl, keep doing your thing. Love the content as is. You've inspired me🥰
Dirty Deb is my absolute favorite 💕
i already knew you did a lot of research from all the help you already gave me but this video rly rly shows it thank you 😍 my favorite part of skating so far has been just moving in a different way than usual and slowly getting accustomed to it!
AWW THANK YOU SO MUCH you have no idea how many hours I've spent reading/watching videos about rollerskates since I've started LOL I'm so happy to see you learning even if we are currently long distance! Miss you 😭💖
You had no reason to apologize. Thanks for being awesome.
I've been roller skating since I was 8 I stop skating oftenand I bought new skating yesterday your videos got me back in skating and gave me confidence to try skating backwards!
Definitely each persons personal choice. I’m just thankful you managed not to hit your head cause it was something I worried about seeing your videos, but I knew they were older and that you are still skating (checked out you insta and WOW you’ve had amazing progress!)
From someone who has personally witnessed someone hit their head on cement turn blue and then once flipped over gushed blood from his mouth and back of his head I am traumatized/terrified of head injuries. Some accidents/injuries can’t be avoided but I know for myself if I’m purposely doing something that could possibly lead to a serious injury I take extra precautions.
Stay safe everyone and enjoy!
Oh, I loved your learned to rollerskate in 30 days videos and watching your progress on Instagram! U give me hope cuz I am a beginner skater too, learning backwards skating atm😊
Buying my roller sakes since I saw your first video of learning to skate in 30days 🤗 thank you for your videos, and tips!!! ❤
My bestfriend and I started roller skating for the first time this month and I watch your videos because they're helpful 🙂 thank you so much ❤
Yeah I've been skating for months and even though the first thing i did was loosen my wheels I didn't realised until a few days ago that i could loosen my trucks more and it's helped doing my bubbles so much!
Just got my impalas and this video is going to help me immensely
You're super helpful, love your videos! I got my skates and started using them like I knew how lmao so confident, Will definitely Buy some gear now. Thanks for all the tips 💖
I loved your skating vids! I wouldn't worry too much about the ppl criticizing you, folks need to understand bodily autonomy! If you didn't wanna wear a helmet then that's your own choice. Thanks for your content, it definitely helped me feel better about my own progress! 💗
Hey😊 thank you for posting this video! I’m super excited to start skating again and happy to know channels and people I should fallow :) thanks again and happy skating😊😊💖💖
thank you so much for this!!! im so excited to start learning!!!
Glad your back. @chocolatebunnydom I'm interested in jam skating myself. Its inspiring to see so many women taking the plunge!
Thank you for all of your skating videos- you've been in inspiration and I have started skating in the garage. I'm going to try to skate every day for 30 days and see what progress I can make. BTW, I am 70 years old. :)
Just got my first pair of skates today and I’m super excited!!!! Great way to workout and to distress during these interesting times!!! Thank you for motivating me to get started and just going for it 🙌🏼🥰 turtleliciously
Omg I’m so excited for you!! Thank you for your comment I agree it’s such a destressor and it’s so fun 😭💖
Thank you SO MUCH for your vids! Ive watched both parts 1 and 2 of your 30 day skating lessons :) as well as this one and it definitely has me motivated to get some skates! I've been thinking about it forEVER and procratinating on getting a new hobby that's outdoors and i can jam to some music... and your vids have sealed the deal for me so again THANK YOU and I cant wait to follow you on IG! (headed there now!!)
the fact that yall made her formally APOLOGIZE for not wearing a helmet, is downright horrendous. 😤 ur okay queen, keep up the good work.
Thank you. I did not know I had to adjust my skates. The video on getting new skates was really informative.
I just ordered my skates and I’m very excited to start! I already have a small knowledge of how to skate but I really enjoyed watching you’re progression
Thank you for following the progress I hope you enjoy skating!! 💞
you are so pretty!! ❤️❤️ also thank you for making this video! keep up the good work!
This is very motmotivating for people that are going to get roller skates
butt pads are a MUST for me, i use a cushion, though. with a belt. it works.
Me too!
Gurl!! Don’t ever apologize for being confident! I’m the same way, I don’t to wear a helmet. I hate wearing a helmet when I go on long bike rides.. I hate anything on my head. I’ll wear knee and elbow pads…
Got to your channel because I wanted to learn roller skating, but stayed because you’re wonderful 💖 ✨ freshly subscribed ✨
MORE
I learned a lot from watching your Instagram! Thank you for saving my quarantine ❤
JUSTINNNNN Thank you so much for watching and I'm so glad you started skating with Serra it makes me so happy to see :') 💘
Skating with all your protective gear but not your helmet is like surviving on food but never drink water. You need both. I personally believe gear the helmet is the most important gear you need. I've seen people get hurt on their head, because they didn't have a helmet, and they were just skating. Some of them were even skating slow! I'm genuinely trying to just give advice! Love your videos and your outlook on life. Also, I you're so brave going it and tracking yourself to skate. And you came a long way on such little time. BE PROUD OF THAT GIRL!
Other peoples kids are not your responsibility, you can put a disclaimer for sure but again its not your responsibility your only responsibility is yourself, I am so sorry you felt you had to apologize for that, parents need to be responsible for their own kids and what they watch. YOU ARE FANTASTIC !!! I love your videos, everyone skates their own ways.
I'm new to your channel and I've gotta say, you are a really nice UA-camr and you should always be getting good/nice comments.
I've never thought of roller skating until today. Thank you for making roller skating videos ☺️ Also, thank you for being a UA-camr🥰
Awww, I understand the feelings about protective gear. I took me a WHILE to find knee pads that would fit my legs (Scabs Derby pads) and they are very bulky and not ideal for dance skating. I will be using them as I try to gain more confidence with skating in the street. I live in Brooklyn and the constant traffic is a bit distracting and intimidating. It also took me two tries to get the right size helmet. I assumed that I would need a XL because my head is kinda big for a woman (23") but I actually needed a size Medium. Anyway, thanks for going over the skate tools. I haven't seen them compared with this kind of detail. I wish websites selling them would be that informative!
I'm starting today!!! Thank you for the tips
The day I found out I really wanted roller skate was the day I saw your two videos on your progress of skating. It make me laugh and made me really excited to start! I have learned to do transitions and even spin!!! You are definitely one of the people that Motivated me to try. Thanks for this video it was really helpful!
Aww thank you for your kind message I’m so happy to see that others can relate to my learning process! Congrats on nailing transitions and spins!! I can’t wait to hear what else you’ve learned in another few months 😍
Greetings from Switzerland ! So cool and inspiring to see your progress.
Wow Switzerland!! 😍 Thank you so much for the love 💘
Don't apologize !!!!
Ricardo Lino's channel is great for aggressive and/or inline skating. I hope to see you all at Skate Love Barcelona next year!
When i was 7 I was super good at roller skating because I got on them so young. I fell and fractured my wrist and have been scared to ride them ever since but I just ordered a pair online and I wanna learn
I absolutely love Rebel and her channel and Instagram Queer Girl straight skates!!
Thank you for this, new subbie.! Also don't stress about negative comments you're heart is pure!
I recently started skating again and got a pair of Moxis and they are amazing... They are on back order but worth the wait and the money.... they are super soft and are amazing. Apparently lots of people have started skating again since the pandemic so get yourself a pair if you haven't already! ❤
Thank you! This was so helpful! :D
So y’all made her apologize for a choice she made that has nothing to do with you, and having her feel like she needs to say sorry for every PERSONAL PREFERENCE… Grow up do better, I hate it here. Love you though girl keep doing what you’re doing 😍
Omg thank you for showing your skates I was thinking of buying a toe guard for my new skates but ima just crochet myself some!
Idk who you are, but your skates brought me to you, but you have a very respectable appearance. Thank you and keep sharing the knowledge.
You are adorable! And there is no need to apologize. Helmets are not like seatbelts. It’s a matter of personal preference. Please don’t let people guilt trip you because if you do you will find yourself constantly apologizing and pleasing folks that are just miserable. Thank you for your videos. I ordered my skates and they arrive Saturday. Wish me luck!😬
So annoying that you had to apologize! Girl you are grown and can do what you want! Btw you’re def inspiration to learn! Thank you!

I don't think you needed to apologize. I do appreciate the explanation though, I am more susceptible to eye health problems if I get injured in the head. I know I need to get a helmet before learning, but I also feel like a lame for having to wear one. Thanks for clarifying, but def no need to apologize.🧡
