Learn how to magic slide in three steps.
1) UFO 2) RELEASE 3) SLIDE
I started practising the magic slide about a month ago after seeing a Greg Mirzoyan magic slide tips video. I must say, the magic slide is a tonne of fun.
The magic slide is a tried and true stopping method. Greg Mirzoyan said that this is his emergency brake. The magic slide is not only a great city skating technique but it is also used by downhill skaters. With some practice, the magic slide could be your emergency brake.
To learn the magic slide we break it down into three steps.
1) UFO position
Get into the UFO position by getting into a wide stance, lunging to one side and then bringing your knees together.
2) Release
The release is achieved by slightly rotating and driving through our heel
3) Slide
The slide is a combination of counter rotation and drag
There are many great magic slides tutorials online. Check out the Greg Mirzoyan tutorial - • Tips from Greg Mirzoya...

Next week we will break down the backwards entry into the Magic Slide

Complete breakdown of how to practice in parts and then put it together, plus links to other tutorials. You are like an encyclopedia! I love it.
brother really got his PhD in rollerblading.. respect
He's so great 😫💞
After using your cues I was able to confidently do several solid magic slides tonight at moderate to high speeds.
A very cool looking and useful technique for sure.
Thanks again, Shawn!
Thank you for sharing! And congrats.
I can already UFO grind (aggressive skater), I'm putting as much weight on the rear foot as possible to do this magic slide but my front wheels always dig in to the ground. Do I need a bigger beard?
Haha! You probably just need to get a bit lower on the inside edge on the front foot.
GentlemanBlader Omg... If that’s what it takes, then I’m in trouble!
GentlemanBlader That was epic.
That and peace of mind, cause life is beautiful :)
Trim your nails, they are certainly digging into the concrete and steel.
Thank you so much Shaun for your tuts. They are so clear, understandable and easy to follow. Please make more of them so we can all acquire great skating techniques.
Love your teaching style! Please do more, especially for the flatspin if possible!!
Thank you for posting this tuts, you're a great teacher and thanks to your speeching way, slow and clear, I'm gonna catch almost everything you say! Namaste.
Great tutorial, this vid deserves way more views, Will recommend to all my friends who are still learning the moves.
Thank you for this. It is really appreciated. You make me want to skate more, you've already expanded my horizons as a skater by allowing me to be safer and in turn more confident. I hope one day I can come to Canada and visit your shop. Thanks man.
Dude! Thank you so much for this!! Just got back in to sharing in my late 30's lol. So I need all the help no I can get. Thank you
Excellent explanations! Thank you so much for taking the time and sharing your knowledge with us. 👍🤘
a really helpful and thorough explanation. Thanks teacher!
Looks so cool can't wait to learn this
Thank you so much! Your videos are incredible
Namaste Shaun, i am so happy. I didn't even think about learning this sick move in the near future. Now i am so eager to start picking up skating after my long travel (India, not skating) and practice this slide! Thx man.
This video is so helpful to understand and learn this technique. Thank you
Great video, very well explained. Thank you.
I freaking got the magic slide thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us.
Great explanation. shared this with others!
Awesome, thanks. This video will definitely be of great help for me and others.
That is awesome. Please let me know what works and what does not work. This breakdown works good for me but I am eager to refine.
You seem so patient man, You must be a very good instructor. Working on my soul slide before I can jump onto my magic. Thank you for sharing Namaste!🙏
Thank you! Now it's time to practice.
love that ragga tune as intro
Thank you very much for this super tutorial! UFO grind was never a problem but I could not do the magic slide...;-) With your help I learned it in less than an hour.
Thank you very much for another awesome breakdown. Been practising this for awhile.
I am having so much fun with this one. I previously thought that the magic slide was a waste of time if you can parallel slide but now I think the magic slide is a better technique especially in emergency situations.
@@FlowSkate thanks for mentioning it about emergency braking. I really needed to find a technique to sort this problem.
Thanks for tips
🙋🏻♂️
Great video, I just started practicing this after seeing Greg's video as well. it's a lot of fun, also much easier to learn it on concrete rather than pavement.
Agreed. Concrete is so much easier than pavement.
Well explain thanks for the tips!
Great breakdown. I hope I can do this someday :)
Perfect explenation of this movement! Good job really, thanks a lot!
Thank you, my friend.
Awesome tutorial!
Thank you so much for this video, almost gave up on slide style stops untill this video, thanx again from Australia!!!!!!!

Shop Task Hi Shaun, I did this couple of days back, managed to slide both my skates, But the inner part of my back knee really hurts, where am I going wrong??
Nice, thanks!
Thanks
Great tutorial thanks !
Thanks Orlando!
So helpful bro, hugs from Cuba
nailed it!
Truly Shaun you're a great teacher..
I'll make a video soon..
That is awesome! You are the man. Can not wait to see the video.
Hey, man! Big fan of your work! Can you talk about three wheeled skates?
Awesome...gonna start practicing
The magic is so much fun. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Good explanation. Thank you mec !
Thank you +Django The Ugly! Namaste 🙏
your videos hepl me very much.
I really like this guy
You are AWESOME Shaun! 37 year old skater here - haven’t skated in 15 years. Never learned this move. Practicing daily now 🙏🌺❤️
Now, you're 40. Still skating bro? Still alive?
thank you
Since you said "great move" my brain could only focus on "now he says namaste...not?...so is he gonna?...what, now?...ah, there he said it!".
This was the best I've seen from you so far - quick, easy to follow, every moment valuable.
Thank you for this video Sean! I'm thinking about taking up skating as my main way of transportation and commuting, and I'm very concerned with braking and controlling speed. I live in Copenhagen, a city that is incredibly accommodative for bikes, but if I want to skate on the bike lane I want to brake effectively and without needing too much space. Very thorough explanation, thanks.
That is awesome! Soon you will be passing bikers on your skates.
Hey its really interesting to see you doing this on wheels. I do these stops on ice during a hockey game ( if i cannot get the back foot onto its outside edge in time ) but i never thought they would work on an abrasive surface and I never realised they had a name. Very cool, I might give it a go .. eek, visions of catching an edge !
Nothing more scary than getting a caught on the outside edge will performing a magic slide. Ease into the slide and practise getting that edge down.
Great Chanel
Please, make more videos.
Hi Shawn,
Thanks for the vid.. i have watched quite a numerous time.. lol
just couldn't get it on the counter-rotation.
Do you mean that after your right foot turn to the left and starts to slide , then you do a counter-rotation ; meaning trying to turn to your right?
I love you for making this video! The magic slide is my favorite after savannah & soul :)
Savannah would be a tricky one. I was never able to fully master a savannah grind, might be time to revisit the savannah in slide form.
I think savannah is easier if you first put a cross acid or a pornstar rather than the two feet at once
Ohhh. Good insight. Thank you.
Amazing tutorial
Question: How i absorb the speed acceleration after a big jump ?!
You teach very well. Easy to understand. I will be as good as you. Haha.
Your breakdown videos are so detailed and helpful!
Also mad appreciative that you showed that one clip because I was curious if you could magic slide with crossed legs.
Apparently you can.
Thanks again! Excited to hear about your progress.
Well you and me both!
I still have to get the bloody things lol.
Namaste.
Haha! Good point.
Excellent video! Whats the slide where your toes are pointed up and youre only on your heels
I think the counter rotation is the most important thing here. I'm not saying I can do any of this, but I can tell that everything makes intuitive sense to me except for the counter rotate. So that's a great thing for me to keep in mind. Great tip I would not have picked up on otherwise.
For me, the counter-rotation is key. When we slide our momentum continues but we switch our bodies so the wheels are no longer rolling in the direction of our momentum. This requires a force to help push the wheels. I find that the counter-rotation is a great way to generate a strong push into the slide.
I hope this makes sense.
Your videos are so helpful. With the help of your video on power slides, I now can do power slides. One thing I am puzzled about on this magic slide video is that you point out Greg Mirzoyan's video. But he seems to be saying the opposite of what you do. You said put 80% of your weight on the back leg. GM says put all your weight on the forward leg. He said you could even put your back leg in your pocket. However, looking at his body position, centered over his rear leg, he seems to have his weight distributed as you describe.
YOU ARE MAGIC TEACHER
Haha. Thank you.
Lo intentare, I will try
Maaan I was worked on this in my last skating session ! and what you said is just what I felt trying to do this move ! You bring some hightlights to me, which will be very helpful especially for the first position legs spread ! And Yes I'm following rollerline's chanel, they got some really good tutorials even if it's in Russian. Lucky for us Rollerblading is an international language haha
Rollerblading is our language.
Thank you for the thoughtful comment. I was having trouble, at first, getting my right foot on a strong inside edge. The UFO position works great for me.
Shaun currently I'm working on my rollerblading youtube channel for sharing with people the joy of rollerblading ! My topic is not really on how to rollerblading, even if yeah, I'll be sharing my experience etc... but it's more about how you can use rollerblading to improve your life, to feel good etc, I'm sure you know what I'm talking about ;) And, you are truly and inspiration to me, I almost can't believe how you taking your time to respond for every single comment like it's the only one, you make people feel that they matter, that's a huge human quality ! But that's not really a surprise , through your video's we feel your positive energy and your love for sharing your knowledge to help us. So yeeeaah ! keep up ! Namaste big bro !
Hell yeah! I am excited for you. I will make sure I am following your channel. Skating is positive force that can truly make your life better.
NICE...👍🏾
uii :) good - night vid ty 😛
Hello, Ive just bought a couple of rollerblades to learn to skate with my son Who is 5 years old, Im trying to catch up with him but he is way more aggresive and fearless. Trying to folllow him ive bruised myself pretty badly but I keep practicing for a full three days now and I feel more confident. I have protection for my articulacions but not for my hips, thats why I bought a Tortoise pad for that área, just waiting for it to arrive. Just wanted to tell you that watching your videos is really helpful, I pay attention to the body positioning you recommend and to your tips for beginners also. Thanks for the tutorials and the great way of explaining Everything. One question though, those hydrogen wheels really worth the price? The wizard skates could be used by a beginner like me?
backwards entry to magic slide
go backwards and turn your head against your natural resting stance while backwards(Right for me)
next let your body follow the head (think of an door hinge, left foot is pivot and right leg steps to the right //////acts as an next pivot once placed to ground)
next forcing the slide
by now your left leg is trailing behind your torso
so we pivot from right leg and make an half lemon with left leg
this way the left leg being door-end and right leg is the pivot your momentum guides you trough to an perfect magic slide at low to medium speed
this works with no conscious adjustments in ankle or hip .
6:36 i look great im magical xD haha nice tutorial time to practice
Hey Shawn , why don’t you make an Udemy full Course? I will totally buy it !!!
I have so much I want to learn. Recently added aggresive skating into my routine. Been studying some slalom and freestyle stuff. It feels like to much at once but i want to be the best all around skater I can be.
You will learn so much by practising different styles of skating. How are you liking the aggressive skating.
Shop Task It's pretty intimidating. Totally different balance and feeling sliding across something. Busted my arse more the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 8 months lol. But I'm 2 weeks in and starting to lock in some of the basic grinds. Makio, Sole grind, front side grind. Working on these atm because they seem to be pretty basic grinds that can set up more advanced ones as I progress. Basically a long winded I'm loving it haha.
That is awesome. Aggressive skating will definitely toughen up your ass, shins, wrists...basically your whole body. The feeling of locking a nice frontside or soul grind is a thing of beauty.
Shop Task Dunno if ya care but I'm the lone skater in my town nobody to talk skate with lol. After a month of practicing grinds I finally started to hit royales. So now I have 4 grinds to practice. Royale, Sole grind, Frontside, makio. The royale is definitely the hardest for me. If you don't have your weight absolutely perfect you're going flying lol.
Nice! I remember the first time I tried a royale.
I jumped onto my practice rail in a frontside position. I moved my feet together and woops, my feet slide right out from underneath me and landed my back on the rail. Haha
Hey bro I'm back I just want to know if the magician comes out with any kind of skateboard help me like regular fitness skate?
Great job Shaun. Dude digging the stache man. I tried one during the winter.. I looked creepy. Jealous of the facial hair bro! Great guide. I'm figuring this one out pretty quick!
Haha! Thanks, Michael. I am very proud of my facial hair. I am planning on entering this year's Alberta Moustache championships.
Haha nice dude. If my vote counted it would totally be for you. I am pulling for you my friend 😉
YES! Thanks brother.
It's just a beard 10 years ago nobody cared about a beard stop being a trend follower
im love skate
Hey there! 🎥 First of all, thanks for the great video! 👍 I really enjoyed it. However, I've noticed that when I try to do the magic slide, it automatically becomes a power slide. 😕 Can you please help me out and let me know what the problem might be
When you skate, which wheel configuration do you use: rocker or flat. Thanks
is there any video about soul slide?
please help me to move to the next level. I have been skating for many years but I am still not able to spin front to back and skate backwards. Also inclines. How do I break that fear so I can progress to be able to move back and forth while moving in one direction.
You make it look so easy.
jerseyboynaz When in doubt, pad it out.
Почему я не нашёл это видео шесть лет назад ? Благодарю , что делишься опытом.
What is your dominant foot? Just wondering which way to turn if I’m right handed. Great explanation though
Great tutorial, nice beard!
Hey what keyboard is that? its really nice!
can u plz make a video on the best way to transition 180 degrees plz thx and have a great day
Oh my gosh, Yes I can. I have been wanting to do a video on this for a while.
Is it better to learn the Soul, Power stop or Magic slide?
how much weight should be on each foot? You mentioned “ 80/20 but hundred percent driving force on the right”. A little confused thanks!
