UPDATE: We made the video! Roller Skating Downhill - Essential Tips That You MUST Know When Roller Skating Down A Hill th-cam.com/video/uyFNdYaQvJk/w-d-xo.html
I run dance plugs because I’m a JB/rhythm skater. It’s definitely trickier making a stop without stops. I primarily use the T at the rink or carve into a small circle if I’m not going terribly fast. The T is harder to do with my outdoor setup though because I am running softer wheels and can be more difficult on abrasive surfaces and they may want to skip. Learning to switch to a run and jog to a stop in some grass isn’t a bad idea outside especially in public where you can get caught in a pinch. I’ll kind of sidestep it.
Hey Skatie, i have been getting better at my roller skates for the past days due to your amazing videos! I have a little trouble with the toestop and this Will help a lot!!
Hey, Katie! I rarely skate with toe stops in, so I usually either spin myself to a stop or T-stop with my front wheels. But, I’m curious to learn the power slide!
Hey Katie 👋 can't wait to start practicing and learn how to do this 'sliding stop'. So far I've just been doing Tstops ... Thankyou 😊 🌸💜🥰 Di, Newcastle NSW Australia 🇦🇺
The Hockey Stop 🛑 is my favourite more suited to in-line skates. The plow is my regular go to stop which can be improved by dropping one shoulder forward and leaning into your plow
Hockey stop on quads is the one I want to learn but I've never figured out the technique and not for a lack of trying. I can do a power slide as was demonstrated but that's not a hockey stop (both feet together).
Yay, definitely gonna practice those! I usually go with the plow, now I can have other options perfected! Thank you, Katie, as always! ✨️🙏💝 PS: LOL at you toe stop having fun all by itself at the end... yes, I'm that silly too 🤣🙃🙈
Hi Katie 👋 Merry Christmas🎄 and blessings to you and your family, Just sent you $20 🎁 A small gift to say a huge thankyou and show my appreciation 🙏 🥰 for all your help, for all the time you put into creating your videos and sharing them with us 🌸💜 Your videos are wonderful, awesome and amazing 👏 🏆 I have watched most if not all of your videos .. love how you break steps down making it easier to learn. Your videos have helped me to transition from inline skates to quads and I am so grateful 😊💜 I am continually building my skills getting better and better more stable and confident on my rollerskates and loving it... your videos are helping me to become a better skater and am slowly, gradually overcoming the fear of falling. We don't have a rollerskating rink anywhere near us (have no access to lessons, your videos are my lessons🥰), so I do all outdoor skating, love your video on downhill controlling speed, turns and stopping, that is my safety go to... without this video I may have killed or permanently injured myself by now 😲 , Big Thanks and hugs🙏 🌸💜🥰 Di, Newcastle NSW Australia 🇦🇺
Oh wow. I don’t know what to say I’m overwhelmed by your kindness. xx. I’m so glad my videos have helped you so much on your skating journey. A huge thank you and I wish you every success with your skating in the new year. Merry Christmas xx 💕💕⭐️⭐️🛼🛼🌟
I'm still learning how to skate and the way I stop is turning one of my foot outwards and turning to the side as I stop. Don't know if it's understandable or if it has a name. Definitely gonna try these because I'm absolutely terrified of getting any speed because I don't know how to properly slow down and stop.
Do the T-stop and slide stops work with gummy wheels??? I can't stand the stuttery slide when I try it and I don't know if I'm just doing it wrong or if it's my wheels.....?
Some skaters like to skate without toestops as it enables them to do some moves easier. For example, Jam and rhythm skating skills. Until you start this type of skating I’d recommend leaving your toe stops on especially if you’re skating outside. They can come in very handy. All the stops in this video can be done with and without toe stops.
@@Skatie ty 😊I don't plan on removing mine. I've just started after 35 years, I have rookie skates, proper retro😁I injured my chest in January when I first put them on, straight on my back😮I've been back on them 4 a couple of weeks and at first I was scared sh#tless but i now have a spine protector, elbow pads, knee pads and a helmet so I'm good 2 go!! I'm starting 2 enjoy it, I'm pleased with my progress. Looking forward 2 binge watching ur videos🌹
Isn't the spinout stop theoretical the best way to stop for the endurance of your wheels? BC your wheels condition is pretty important when it comes to roller skating, right? But it's a pain in the ass for me to learn this technique.
Most stops are ok for wheels. The t stop can make flats if you’re not careful to use more of a v position. Just avoid using the edges / sides of the wheels as this will make flats. The front inner wheels tend to get the most wear so just rotate those occasionally.
I have somehow learned to go down hill using the plough, it really helps me stay in control of my speed. Are you supposed to do that? I saw in one vid you used a t position.
We’re in the process of filming a hills video so will definitely cover carving in that one. I do include it in an outside video too th-cam.com/video/r6qWIlti-mM/w-d-xo.html
Hi Katie 👋 I'm having heaps of trouble learning to skate down hill backwards stagger using toe-stop, I can't keep my feet straight , either one or both feet begin to turn to an angle so I will end up going off to the side of the hill/road. I need this skill for outdoor skating in a group. 🤔 Do you have any tips on how to practice/build my feet strength to be able to keep both feet straight in down hill stagger? P.s. saw your below reply 'New video downhill in progress coming soon' can't wait 😊💜 Di, Newcastle NSW Australia
The downhill video is live I’ll get a link for you. The trouble with backwards is you have to look over your should and as soon as a skater does that it pushes the weight over and we veer off to one side. I have a backwards video which will help with that too. Let me grab the links.
Hi, Katie, here is a huge fan of Yours from Warsaw, Poland. I have a technical question. I find it hard to take full control of my roller skates. Lately I have discovered that while standing on flat surface, not all four wheels are touching the ground. So, they are a little bit unstable, shaky. Do you think this can be a reason why I am unable to keep control of my roller skates?
It might be a good idea just to check that the cushions are sitting in the cushion cups correctly. It doesn’t matter if all wheels don’t Touch when the skate is empty but they should touch with your weight in them.
I used to be a figure ice skater with risport RF3 boots and I'm looking for roller skates to practice from time to time. Which boot do you recommended? I would love to take RF3 again as I know them but they're too expensive for the use they'll be. Thanks
You could try a rookie artistic or a Chaya Melrose elite. You may also find some second hand artistic skates at a similar price. The second hand ones tend to be mostly Edea but they are great too.
It really depends how much you rely on them. If you use them a lot then the transition will be harder than it would for someone go never really used them to begin with. I’d say before removing toe stops a skater definitely needs a couple of solid ways to stop without them locked in for safety.

Katie, can you make a video about stopping while going downhill? the struggle is real, help 😭
We’ve half filmed a video on hills. We’re having a hard time finding a good location for filming. Hoping to get it done soon.

The slides are really fun. They are easier with a harder wheel.

The two foot hockey stop 🛑 is a great one for inlines. I remember all the hockey players coming screeching to a halt at the rink.
Yay, definitely gonna practice those! I usually go with the plow, now I can have other options perfected! Thank you, Katie, as always! ✨️🙏💝
PS: LOL at you toe stop having fun all by itself at the end... yes, I'm that silly too 🤣🙃🙈
😂 my husband (camera man) decided the toe stop was going to have a little fun adventure! 😂
@@Skatie Hahaha 😂 Bless him 🤗✨
Hi Katie. Would you be able to make a video of your last go to stops (T stop in front) and also more on backwards stop without toes tops? Thank you 👍
Good idea. I’ll add it to the list.
That sound you made about flats had me cracking up! I love your videos!
Thanks you. 😂 I like to paint pictures with words!! 😂 😂 😝
Thank you so much for your video becoz your video is very helpful. Love from Malaysia🇲🇾❤🥰

You're Katie and I've been watching Skatie.
Ooooooookay.

@@Skatie My favorite TH-cam skate instructor. The others suck. You're so clean and clear with everything.
Thank you Skates!
I’m new to this channel and I want to learn roller skating, and my question is: which stop would be best to practice as a beginner?
I’d say try either the T stop or the plow. The plow is good as you don’t have to lift your feet
Excellent point on T-Stop technique. Too many skaters ruin their wheels by wearing the corners off.
Those flats are just horrid.
Wow! Just in time and I need this!

Great video:) just wanna know which ways to are used also outside? Cause when I skate outside, I usually do plough stop or go on my toe stop.
I have a section in this video on controlling your speed which will give you some ideas. th-cam.com/video/i__KUb2PIjM/w-d-xo.html
Hi, beginner here. I've just taken up skating and here 4 tips. Please could u explain the purpose of skating without toe stops? I'm confused🙃

I'm a plow stop girl but I really need to work on my t stop. I still T tap on the left side but on the right I'm getting there haha
It’s funny as skaters seem to favour one type of stop. I’m definitely a t-stop skater. I rarely use the plow.
@@Skatie I assure you it's only because I'm not yet comfortable on one foot yet but I get braver everyday with padding.

You can absolutely use what works for you. Lots of people love the plough but I’ve never been a huge fan. Just personal preference it’s a great stop.
Hi Katie, can you do a video on carving? Thx!

What would be the best way to stop on flat asphalt or concrete?
Personally I use a t-stop with my wheels but you could use a plough or what ever feels right for you.
Katie, I have a problem with getting my free leg up from the ground. Can you help?
Are you ensuring to fully commit your weight over to the skating foot?
Hi, Katie, here is a huge fan of Yours from Warsaw, Poland. I have a technical question. I find it hard to take full control of my roller skates.

@@Skatie Thank you very much for your tip:*
Do you need to remove your toestops to hockey stop or plough stop?
You can definitely leave them in for both of those stops.
I used to be a figure ice skater with risport RF3 boots and I'm looking for roller skates to practice from time to time. Which boot do you recommended? I would love to take RF3 again as I know them but they're too expensive for the use they'll be. Thanks
You could try a rookie artistic or a Chaya Melrose elite. You may also find some second hand artistic skates at a similar price. The second hand ones tend to be mostly Edea but they are great too.
@@Skatie thanks a lot!
Hello my friend. I like to watch when you play.

Hi Katie! I have LMNADE skates but can’t seem to find a spanner size to loosen it ,how do u know what spanner to buy or can i use something else?
You can buy T or crab tools for skates which have most of the sizes you’d need. amzn.to/3OrrI5Y
Thank u
My T tool has arrived but only seems to loosen my wheels and not the trucks although it’s shows in the pictures ,is there anything u recommend I do ?
@@kixirsty some of them have a larger spanner than pulls out? You can always use regular scanners
When would you say someone is ready to remove their toe stops and try without?
It really depends how much you rely on them. If you use them a lot then the transition will be harder than it would for someone go never really used them to begin with. I’d say before removing toe stops a skater definitely needs a couple of solid ways to stop without them locked in for safety.
@@Skatie thank you, I appreciate your reply ☺️
Hi Katie! Which skates do you use?
I have a custom artistic setup Risport boots and either atlas or roll-line plates.
This is not going well for me 😢
Oh no. What are you having trouble with?
Thanks
Thank you so much xx 💕😂🛼🛼
