I love the slow motion close up showing the push off the front wheel - in other instruction videos it's hard to see/visualize, but seeing it in slow motion really helps :)
Learning the T-stop at stand still is important and yes rather a skill to learn and strength, balance etc because you need that for your figures which I do hope you do a video on that one day, Love you videos !
I watched this video before my last practice session, and it really stuck with me. Before I knew it, I was really stroking well and with control. Thanks Katie!
Hi Kate-I started back skating 1 week before Christmas after being MIA from the skate game 35 years. Gosh!!! anyway, its coming back to me; and the most challenging for me was getting my confidence back and not being afraid to fall...I mean it's bound to happen at some point and time. The 1st fall was pretty brutal, but I got back up and purchased gear (should have made that purchase prior to putting on skates...smh) and been at it ever since. Thanks for the videos for they are really helpful. Skating really calms me and I enjoy doing it. I'm excited to learn more so keep the videos coming. Blessings
Thank you Katie! I can see exactly how to perform these maneuvers because your explanations are very straight and clear. I just have to get a little more confident in my abilities. I just got a pair of bubble shorts which will save my tailbone if that should ever happen. I have never worn so much gear before. Protection at all costs.
I just started roller skating (I did it sometimes as I was a kid but stopped in middle school) and the problem I’ve been having with this is that I’m very comfortable ice skating, so I keep trying to do this as if I’m on ice skates
One major difference on roller skates is you want the weight near the ball of the foot all the time. I find when I ice skate I put the back half of the blade in first more like walking don’t do that on rollers. 🤕.
He aprendido mucho en estos 3 meses que he estado practicando y viendo los videos. Me han servido mucho porque no estoy haciendo los movimientos a lo loco sino con unas ideas y sugerncias previas. Gracias / I have learned a lot in these 3 months that I have been practicing and watching the videos. They have helped me a lot because I am not doing the movements like crazy but with some previous ideas and suggestions. Thank you
Thank you for always putting some great tips and tricks and easy instructions to follow. I found your channel last week and I absolutely love your style of delivering the message. I’m 57 and took on this new sport and I love it. Thank you for helping me get through the training I needed to get on the floor.
Thank you for these videos! Is there a video explaining foot balance? I feel as though my weight is in my heels. I’ve been practicing a bend in the knee and more forward leaning, but to get more upright causes a weight transfer. Any tips?
I always waiting for your new video. Thank you for making all these tutorial. I'm still working on the edges and just learning the strut walk. I wonder If you could do a video about strut walk?
Thank you. Sorry we missed last weeks video as we’ve been out with our girls during the holidays. Back to weekly videos again now. Good idea, I’ll have to do a video of some of the popular dance moves. Thank you.
What type of skate should be purchased for a beginner? Skater blades look more sleek. Can we purchase a skater blade. I hear blades are better than the roller skates. Please advise
Hello, I'm an overthinker struggling with getting the technique of going forward. I understand that the feet need to be more slew-foot/turned out/V shaped, but I've watched too many videos & everyone has a different method & I'm getting info overload. Some recommend staggering feet, then pushing off with back foot at an angle. Either way, it all feels unnatural to me. I understand shifting weight movements, but I'm still confused about the feet. I've been told to not push off with my heel, but to instead push off from the inner side of skate, or do kind of a flick motion, but I've also been told to push off at the toe, which sometimes interferes with my toe stop. Is it more like pushing off at the ball of the foot instead? This is all doing my head in😭
For this technique the last wheel to leave the floor should be the forward inner so all the weight needs to be over that wheel for pushing off. The skating foot needs the weight towards the ball of the foot. You never want the weight towards the heel of the skating foot as that makes backwards falls more likely and they are horrid.
@@Skatie **overthinking continuation** so basically regardless of foot position (be it V-shaped or staggered with skatefoot facing outward), the pressure & weight should be on the inner forward wheel with flicking/light slide outward motion? (If that makes sense)
I absolutely understand. Take it at your own pace. Perhaps try some static balance drills to help your confidence. I have a balancing video which may help. You’ve got this 💕🛼😀

I’m always nagging the poor camera that I need more slow mo. Lol. It does seem to really show the weight transfer.
Yes!!! That truly is the game changer. It’s hard to learn on other videos and it is frustrating!

As a beginner, your videos are a godsend!!! Thank you 💖💖💖
Keep skating, daily if possible, and you'll get there one day.

Thanks katie, i started skating when i was nine, i haven't skated for three years so i tried skating again, you really helped me.
So glad the videos have helped. 🛼⭐️💕
@@Skatie definitely staying subbed, i appreciate your channel, i hope you reach your goal and go a long way

Love those videos ❤️❤️❤️❤️ but the bloopers, thoooo 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thank you. 😂 hubby (camera man) always seems to find some good bloopers!
I agree about those Bloopers! I look forward to them all the time! 😆😂😂
Is it possible that we get a video of your skating background? I think it would be quite unique and good to watch! 💖💖

Adoro assistir seus vídeos. Mesmo sem entender nada de inglês. Sou brasileira.
Muito obrigado. Aproveite a sua patinação.
This looks good 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

WOW awesome video! I love your videos 💓 thanks 🙂😊
Thank you 🛼
Is it just my rollerskates cause like mine are heavy so it’s hard to keep my leg up especially since my legs are weak
Skates are pretty heavy. You’re muscles will build up over time. ⭐️🛼
I’m more comfortable with my marching and not with bubbles. Is stroke skating still an option for me?
💯 marching is an amazing start to progress to stroke skating. You’re already balancing on one foot ⭐️⭐️💕
I'm still skating like a penguin and having a hard time to go to the next level. I'll try to follow your advice
I have a video about balancing that should help get rid of the penguin th-cam.com/video/JtQiufi5fGM/w-d-xo.html Happy Rolling 🙂🛼

I personally prefer quads but if you’re looking to trail skate distances I’d recommend inlines.
Is this "T-Stop" also considered an Angular take off? (( the the other would be the "And" take of or stroke?)) Not sure if I am saying that right?
The T-push is a great way of gaining speed and it can be considered a stroke take off.

@@BoxOfShockolates yes. the rolling foot should be on the ball of the foot and the foot that’s pushing needs to be pushing from the inner front wheel.
Omg you look so much like charlotte dobre you should check her out love you
Oh I love her! She’s so funny! 🤣
I’m a penguin when I’m trying to stride lol but committing to one leg with all my weight seems terrifying for me right now lol 🛼❤️❤️
