i started skating yesterday and out of all the youtubers ive watched you always make the clearest and most understandable, concise videos! thank you so much ❤❤❤
Nice tips, but I did notice something missing from the Lemon 🍋 Drops segment. And it’s something that I picked up on watching Blade Warriors (the inline skating version of American Gladiators). The show would have segments with skating tips, and one that really stood out for me at the time was this one: Don’t bring your toes together, because they’ll crash, and so will you. I’m not sure what the odds of that happening are while attempting the Lemon Drops, but if you ask me, it’s definitely something to keep in mind.
@@PollySkatesthanks for the helpful videos. Would you recommend inline skating for a 3mile commute from a bus stop to a destination? Or before doing any skating do I need to check first for pebbles, rocks, debris and flat surface? I’m asking because I see a lot of YT videos where people just take off skating without checking the surface they will be on….. thanks!
@@t.terrell7037I walk my routes before I skate on them and check the surface condition. Basically, an on-foot inspection. It’s really helpful, especially for a potential new route or route addition.
I Started Skating When i Was 6-7 yrs old And Now I'm 10 And I'm obsessed with It But I Had To Quit Skating For 2 yrs because i was moving a lot and Was Busy With family stuff But Today my dad is Taking me too target To Get New Skates I'm Getting The Red and black color I'm So Excited 😆 to Get my Skates and start skating again
I enjoy your videos. I am a beginner, and you are giving me inspiration. I do find myself getting better. With that progression, I keep going out there with my quest to get even better.
I'm also learning how to inline skate and your tips especially when you get off the ground that really helped me stand up without falling down. I actually practiced a bit with standing on one skate to keep my balance with a regular shoe and then switch to the other side that helped tremendously. I was doing the duck walk but I need to have a better location a flat location and with grass. Thank you so much for these tips.
I discovered the reason I can't rollerblade is I have bad valgus knees. This is not the common overpronation beginners get, even when my ankles are straight my knees are faced way too inwards. I added wedge insoles and it helped but it looks like I'll need to adjust the frame. Just thought I'd throw that out there on case someone can't learn the very basics despite hours of practice- you might need insoles, muscle strengthening or have structural problems. All can be fixed some way but it's something to look into if you can't learn the very basics after many times out.
Thanks for advice, I haven’t been skating for a while, never learned properly. I will try all your technics. Have to dust off my old blades first. Cheers from Canada!
Scooter push is what i do when they first get the skates and are building up the confidence to put on both AT THE SAME TIME after that its straight to lemons or bubbles then duck walking. Please make sure your new skates are for adults or have a weight listed and not those toys with the all plastic frames. And change your brake block the stock ones are plastic and not recommended for any surface. They are not even real they are just a place holder. Great video polly your energy really translated well 😊
I just got my skates and this video is so good until I can skate but my brother couldn't do it he just keeps falling even in only 1 seconds he can already fall everywhere
I just stumbled on your video accidentally. I was rollerblading when i was in high school. So, i went to an arcade and i thought to myself that i know how to skate, but wasn't. I think i need to wake and train my body again. Do you recommend those "hard shoes" rollerblades? Thank you
If it’s uphill you are gonna roll backwards and if it’s downhill you are gonna roll out of control. Gurl uphill and downhill are the same depending on which direction you are facing 😅
I got my skates however the wheels are super smooth so hard to even stop or enjoy it lol how do you adjust the wheels so it's not super smooth to where it's rolling when I'm not moving my feet.
Lucky you have cool roller blades mine are new but came dirty and when I went uphill they pulled me backwards and I fell down and then they got ruined and I don't think that my dad will get me new ones😢
I never did duck walks, my big feet never really let me do that easily. I do something my friend calls reverse L's, my toes are pointed out slightly but when I push I'm pushing pretty much completely to the side. I am still working on shifting my weight to the toe or heel, which is probably why I can't duck walk well. I have been told that I have the form of a marathon skater so perhaps that's what I am good at but I can't turn aside from A turns and I have awful endurance(mainly from not having a decent rollerblade yet).
I thought skating was easy but it wasn't I fell the first time I was embarrassed but when I was skating I felt something like I am edicted but I don't have roller blades I yoused my neighbors skates 😮😮😅😅😅😅😮😅😮😅❤❤😂😢😂😢😮😂😅

@@t.terrell7037 3 miles sounds like a fun skate but make sure you know how to stop if you need to quickly. Be safe!

@@t.terrell7037It could be a good way to commute. Just make sure you have a way to store your skates when they’re not on your feet.
my heart almost stopped when I saw you on the curb, i was like "whaaat the hell???" XD
Before I even watch this video, I would like to thank you so much for making this video and I appreciate the helpful tips!

thanks for telling me about learning how to learn rollingblaids
Happy to help!🤗🙏💛
I did just go Skating yesterday. But I did okay with it. I will try your tips next time I skate again

Perfect! ❤️🤗

In my opinion I think the duck walk is the best
And then the strides❤
Such a core skill for learning! ☺️🙌🫶
When I am skating, I use walking or hiking poles to help with balance, stability and stopping. So its like rollerski. Just fyi if this helps anyone😊
🤗🤙🙏
That’s actually genius 😂
Hey Coach Polly, how do you stop without using the stopper at the back of your skates?
It really works ❤❤😊
Hopefully the kiddos & beginners will wear protective gear.
All in all, excellent instruction… just wish you would have explained how to stop @ 3:19
@@sunshine3914she has a whole video on stopping..
Where's this location? Starting to rollerblade in LA, and looking for these types of quiet spots to learn! Thank you!!!

Thank you so much!!!!! Thanks for adding this advice!!!! Esp how important it is to get good skates 💯💯🩷🙏🤙 appreciate you so much!!!
How do I get to the duck walk in the first place? When I stand the wheels start spinning right away and I can’t even stand in place
I think she’s addressed that in earlier videos. Unfortunately she doesn’t have a playlist for beginners.
@@sunshine3914 thank you!
I just got my skates and this video is so good until I can skate but my brother couldn't do it he just keeps falling even in only 1 seconds he can already fall everywhere
Oh no! Maybe he’ll have better luck in the grass!?
Kiddos love the spider however I will never be able to stand up let alone get down there hahah
Ahhh
I learned how to skate about a year or 2 ago and now I’m doing great!
I also took the brake off
😃🎉

i'll always stand by t/ fact
ScooterN is an ELiTE type tech
I can finally move in skate after 3 days of trainning

Can you change the frame on these skates if you decided you want bigger wheels?
YES!
Day 3 and it looks difficult.
Great video
