Yes! It made me feel better about when I get scared to go down a steep hill. I for sure thought that she wasn’t afraid of anything 😭 glad to know that even the pros get scared
There are totally people in Wales skating! Look for local derby leagues, Chicks in Bowls Chapters, or skating rinks in your area. Skate crews can usually be found on facebook or instagram. You can also recruit!! Put up flyers, make a skate club! It's so much fun to roll with friends :D
I LOOOVE Coco's skating Style! Im going through a recovering time after a really awfull injure so this skating spirit inspires me to get well soon and skate like never before!You are doing an amazing job with this channel Indy, congrats ❤❤❤
you know what. this channel is changing my mind about shorts. I used to think shorts looked silly on every one but paired with roller skates they look awesome. Or maybe the skill of the skaters make the shorts better. Either way I'm gonna invest in some shorts soon.
do you think you could do a video on how to cross your legs (braiding?) when skating forwards and backwards? I love your videos they are helping my friends and me improve so much! we are finally confident enough to skate around our college campus! thank you!!!
Elinor Shapiro I recommend you check out dirty school of skate “five ways to be a better roller skater FAST!” She goes over “braiding” or “scissors” in step 4 I think . She’s very detailed I love dirty deb 💕 good luck 👍🏽
I watched this video like 1 month ago and fell in love with the way coco skates So yesterday was my 15th birthday and to celebrate today we went roller skating at the rink and I learned to skate backwards😁 Thanks Coco and Indy!!!
Steffi XD hi, Ich komme auch aus Deutschland, willst du mir vielleicht deinen Insta Namen geben (wenn du noch Rollschuhfahren machst) und dass wir dann so zusammen "üben"?😅 Klingt komisch aber keiner von meinen Freunden will anfangen und ich fühl mich immer so "einsam"😂
My roller skates are coming in 2 months now because of corona 😭 Edit: I´ve had my skates for 5 days now and its already so fun and easy! The video helped a lot too.
this is best tutorial I've seen yet, it's so precise and articulate, super easy to understand and follow along. Thanks for sharing, girlies!! Super appreciated!! ❤️✨
I did this yesterday but thought I was doing it wrong so I looked it up and found this video and turned out I was doing it right!! I love you channel btw ur my inspiration!!
Love old school skates. So happy my son recently learned how to skate well. Teaching him how to skate backwards now. I was excited I can still do this at 41! 😂
This video helped me a lot. I skate with my 8 year old grandson at the rink and it's great quality time we spend together. He LOVES to skate and so do I.
Wowwwwwwwww this style of skating is so beautiful! I just started and it’s really inspiring. Also, great tutorial! I was afraid to lift my feet and this got me comfortable enough- braiding is so hard when you’re not flexible geeeez!!!!
could you please do a video on figure skating jumps (e.g. salchow, axel, toe-loop...)? i would love to learn them, but i feel like it is so different from jumping on the ice😃
After applying for a job at my local skating rink and hoping to get back in the groove of sharing after years, these videos are SO great!! Please keep them up!
Finally was able to order my Marawa rose gold skates and cannot wait for them to get here!! Roller skating is so nostalgic but I’ve never mastered backwards skating. Can’t wait to try out the tips in the video!
This is super helpful!!! I feel comfortable going backwards but am having a hard time putting more rhythm and flow into it with my own style, I can’t wait to try these transitions out!!
I’m glad you girls are so honest about being scared and hills. I am still bambi like being at day 3. This weekend gonna try to practise outside. I have been scary/fear girl inside the house way to long now.
My school is doing a musical called Xanadu where almost everyone in the show is on skates! We’ve all been learning to skate over the past few weeks and it’s going great because of these tutorials!
i’m getting skates soon !!i’m so excited !! i’ll update when i get them :) UPDATE: I GOT THEMM!!! they are flat skates, i wanted to start with something a bit cheaper to see if it’s for me! but the wheels are not plastic (i think) so it’s safe! i fell down a few times so gear is a must !! i can skate without holding onto something and these videos really help!! i’ll update again soon !!
I’ve had them for about 4years now and gear is a must but I don’t have gear but now I’m Nona try and learn some new tricks I hope you do good in skating and I hope u enjoy them !!
You guys are wonderful , I’m only just a teenager and I’ve only been skating for 2years now. I only know somethings but I been wanted to be a more advance skater and the way you guys break down the motions help a lot !
omg backwards skating is one of my fave things to do!!! the way I build up speed is by doing the "bubbles" on one leg and using the other to steer... I also like picking up my back wheels and pivoting to change direction~
ive been roller skating for 10 years now and i only know how to do the regular skating, sitting on my ankles while i glide, do a dramatic turn, lift a leg, jump, and spin. now im here ready to learn more tricks!!!!
Devotchkas138 i am won dering the same thing. the streets i skate on around my neighborhood are rough like these and i feel weary skating backwards on the.. i wanted to know if there are wheels better suited to rough roads
Not the right kind lol, I was too lazy to change into outdoor wheels. It was definitely rough rolling, you can tell by how loud it is. I do typically prefer outdoor wheels on surfaces like that. It's a bit like wearing ankle weights, once you put on the outdoor wheels again it's like you're flying!
I'm a soft wheel addict! I like a smooth ride, so I use 78a durometer wheels for everything - indoor, outdoor, rough, smooth, quad skates and inline skates. ;^)
Really good tips. Thank you! I had good backwards skills when I was 8yo in the nineties. Even doing speed skating backwards. Now hitting the rink over 20 years later and its a lot scarier than I remember haha!
Amazing videos!!! I have recently started learning to skate (more like balance, lol) and your videos are extremely helpful. My 7 year old twin girls are trying to learn to skate backwards so I will definitely be showing them your videos. Please don't stop making these videos.
Hi Great Video! Can you do a video on different transitions from forwards to back and vice versa, and other little tricks you can do, as I am currently trying to practice the one legged turn to backwards at work? Thank you xx
This may be the wrong place to ask but how loose should my trucks be? I want to be able to move like you ladies do but I feel like they may be too tight :x
i was just watching ep. 2 of how to roller skate for beginners! i don’t have skates, but i enjoy looking at your videos, and it’s so fun seeing techniques in past videos referenced in others! it makes me feel smart for remembering them, lol
Hi thanks for all the videos so far, i got a used pair of skates from a buy swap and sell shop because the closes skate shop is 3 hrs away for me :((. It's so great getting easy helpful instructions that you can go outside and try right away, thank you thank you! If you guys ever feel like doing some stuff on basic skates stuff for novices like what wheels are good for outside and adjustments that would be so cool also, I am still fiddling with the old stiff rubber trucks on my used skates and cant seem to get it right (my left one turn inwards when i push). Cant wait to see the next vid
And ever since I watched your videos I loved skating and I'm going skating tomorrow and I used to fall all the time but now I'm really good at it, it's been tough but you made it easier thank you xoxo
this makes me so happy! let's have a tutorial on how to braid forward please! I'm trying to learn on my own and I'm making some progress but it would make it so much easier if I had a teacher! Please! I love you guys!
I've always been a rollerblader (and it's been a little while) but am getting ready to transition to quad skates. I'm not worried about rolling backward as much as I'm worried about the transition from one direction to the other and back. If that's not on your list, could you add it? Thanks, love your videos!
That's how my cousin taught me to skate back wards in So. Cal. on a road on a decline!!! The bubbles... I recall going to the rink months later in Alaska... they called everyone to the rink that could skate backwards. My brother thought I was lying when I got on the rink. I was amazed, that I thought I would only do the bubbles across the rink, but somehow I immediately switched with doing cross over leg pulls. Within weeks, I was on ice doing the same thing!!! I can't wait until my skates get here!!!
I mean nothing harsh or rude but @Indy admitting she was scared while also on her skates is so comforting... I love you guys!
that's not harsh or rude!
YASSS I was so happy that they show both of them being like nah son this hill is too much it gives me hope
Yes! It made me feel better about when I get scared to go down a steep hill. I for sure thought that she wasn’t afraid of anything 😭 glad to know that even the pros get scared
I was scared watching her!
Please don't ever stop these tutorials,I'm so happy I got
Your videos,I'm a beginner and I wish I had a friend to practice with😔
Where are you based Janney? I live in Melbourne and need a skate buddy to learn with.
Danielle Teychenne aw girl I'm in UK in Wales ,way too far from you😭😩
There are totally people in Wales skating! Look for local derby leagues, Chicks in Bowls Chapters, or skating rinks in your area. Skate crews can usually be found on facebook or instagram. You can also recruit!! Put up flyers, make a skate club! It's so much fun to roll with friends :D
oh gosh, I'm based in Melb and need a skate buddy too!
Vitoria Dahara yay! I'll be at IMAX today getting a lesson if you wanna swing by?

Forgive my random comment but Coco has next level gorgeous legs, her skin is GLOWING! 🌞
Okayyyy 👏👏 that's what I was thinking
Her skin looks amazing.
YEEEESSS!!!! I was just thinking that!!
RIGHT
Coco’s style reminds me a lot of the way you go backwards when figure skating it looks really cool when done on roller skates
I LOOOVE Coco's skating Style! Im going through a recovering time after a really awfull injure so this skating spirit inspires me to get well soon and skate like never before!You are doing an amazing job with this channel Indy, congrats ❤❤❤
Oh no! Sorry to hear that, hope you feel better soon gal. Thank you so much though, it is super motivating to hear it makes you feel happy :D
"Knees are important"
(Me scribbling in my notebook)
Then someone reads it with no context and are like wtf
you know what. this channel is changing my mind about shorts. I used to think shorts looked silly on every one but paired with roller skates they look awesome. Or maybe the skill of the skaters make the shorts better. Either way I'm gonna invest in some shorts soon.
Jordan Green have you just been wearing pants in the summer till now? Lol
Jordan Green woah what lmao
It's been three years and this comment still haunts me.
What kind of psycho are you
@@lana.3744 SAME like WHO doesn't wear shorts-
do you think you could do a video on how to cross your legs (braiding?) when skating forwards and backwards? I love your videos they are helping my friends and me improve so much! we are finally confident enough to skate around our college campus! thank you!!!

Crossovers?
This is the best video on skating backwards I’ve ever seen. It’s really rare to find the next steps after making the bubble shapes. Thank you!
Coco skating backwards is so beautiful 😍
I love her style
Me 2!
COCO SKATES BACKWARDS SO EFFORTLESSLY & FLAWLESSLY!!!🙌🔥🔥🔥

Steffi XD hi, Ich komme auch aus Deutschland, willst du mir vielleicht deinen Insta Namen geben (wenn du noch Rollschuhfahren machst) und dass wir dann so zusammen "üben"?😅 Klingt komisch aber keiner von meinen Freunden will anfangen und ich fühl mich immer so "einsam"😂
INDY JAMMA JONES: Sofie, who wrote in German, wants something called an Instagram name (whatever that is) so you all can practice together. ⛸⛸
Steffi XD your so right
Coco's skating style is so beautiful, she is my inspiration for everything
Coco you make skating backwards look so effortless, graceful and beautiful! 💖
My roller skates are coming in 2 months now because of corona 😭

•L3gend • im late. But there is no right way to skate. Its all personal preference and style :3
Wolfiers YAAAASS there's no right or wrong is exactly what I was gonna say!!
How do you make the transition from going forwards to backwards
Try watching Indys vid about "how to stop fast" where she, EstroJen, and Pigeon give a few different ways to turn back wards :D
I also recommend Indy’s video about how to spin
Love old school skates. So happy my son recently learned how to skate well. Teaching him how to skate backwards now. I was excited I can still do this at 41! 😂
This video helped me a lot. I skate with my 8 year old grandson at the rink and it's great quality time we spend together. He LOVES to skate and so do I.
Practice makes perfect....remember everyone started somewhere🙂🌈🌻
Omg! I LOVE Coco's skating style! She is literally GOALS! You are both amazing women for sure!
I learned how to skate backwards using this and was even able to teach some of my friends!! Thank you for making these awesome tutorials!
Wowwwwwwwww this style of skating is so beautiful! I just started and it’s really inspiring. Also, great tutorial! I was afraid to lift my feet and this got me comfortable enough- braiding is so hard when you’re not flexible geeeez!!!!

It's super helpful to know which muscles to engage while doing certain movements!!
Wow, Coco is amazing!
Now I'm able to roller skate backwards! Thx girls
Yay! Success!
Coco is a doll
I love her aesthetic! (Coco)

Love Coco's outfit!
Finally was able to order my Marawa rose gold skates and cannot wait for them to get here!! Roller skating is so nostalgic but I’ve never mastered backwards skating. Can’t wait to try out the tips in the video!
I’m OBSESSED Coco is mesmerizing and beautiful!
This is super helpful!!! I feel comfortable going backwards but am having a hard time putting more rhythm and flow into it with my own style, I can’t wait to try these transitions out!!

She makes it look so effortless I love it

You guys are wonderful , I’m only just a teenager and I’ve only been skating for 2years now. I only know somethings but I been wanted to be a more advance skater and the way you guys break down the motions help a lot !
Just found out my 2nd hour art teacher is in derby. She is the best because she always encourages me to skate and take on a life of skating
I love her style ❤️
I love cocos hair it's soooo beautiful she is rocking them colors
omg backwards skating is one of my fave things to do!!! the way I build up speed is by doing the "bubbles" on one leg and using the other to steer... I also like picking up my back wheels and pivoting to change direction~
This video showcases the beauty and creativity of skates
ive been roller skating for 10 years now and i only know how to do the regular skating, sitting on my ankles while i glide, do a dramatic turn, lift a leg, jump, and spin. now im here ready to learn more tricks!!!!
can you teach us to do a cross over around a corner
Sure thing! Added to the list, it's a long on though so stay tuned :P
Ok😊
I absolutely love Coco’s hair
Coco is amazing!! What wheel size and hardness do you use here?
Devotchkas138 i am won dering the same thing. the streets i skate on around my neighborhood are rough like these and i feel weary skating backwards on the.. i wanted to know if there are wheels better suited to rough roads
Not the right kind lol, I was too lazy to change into outdoor wheels. It was definitely rough rolling, you can tell by how loud it is. I do typically prefer outdoor wheels on surfaces like that. It's a bit like wearing ankle weights, once you put on the outdoor wheels again it's like you're flying!
Yes me too! I want to be able to skate around on rough streets but stil be able to do some tricks :)
I'm a soft wheel addict! I like a smooth ride, so I use 78a durometer wheels for everything - indoor, outdoor, rough, smooth, quad skates and inline skates. ;^)
Camille Francis go for the Risport Helium or Sure Grip outdoor ones
No backwards flow whatsoever! You guys rock!
The terrain behind you guys is beautiful
Y'all are so inspiring! Thank you!
She started skating backwards and said “I’m scared” 😂🤣😂💀 I was too!!!
Coco is so comfortable on her skates its like her version of a normal person walking. But hella elegantly and beautiful.
Really good tips. Thank you! I had good backwards skills when I was 8yo in the nineties. Even doing speed skating backwards. Now hitting the rink over 20 years later and its a lot scarier than I remember haha!
Amazing videos!!! I have recently started learning to skate (more like balance, lol) and your videos are extremely helpful. My 7 year old twin girls are trying to learn to skate backwards so I will definitely be showing them your videos. Please don't stop making these videos.
I love how Coco skates
Hi Great Video! Can you do a video on different transitions from forwards to back and vice versa, and other little tricks you can do, as I am currently trying to practice the one legged turn to backwards at work? Thank you xx
You both rock backward skating.
That's amaizing . Coco is very graceful.
You guys explained the technique so well! Pointing out the using of the inner/outer toes to push blew my mind for some reason. Thanks!
I’m thinking about getting skates for my birthday and your videos are really helpful! Just hope my parents say yes now 😅
This may be the wrong place to ask but how loose should my trucks be? I want to be able to move like you ladies do but I feel like they may be too tight :x
lilbapi loosen them half a turn at a time until you get comfortable on them being loose
@@Yocrabgirl omg thnx😅 i've been wondering why i can't move like that
i was just watching ep. 2 of how to roller skate for beginners!
i don’t have skates, but i enjoy looking at your videos, and it’s so fun seeing techniques in past videos referenced in others! it makes me feel smart for remembering them, lol

Thanks so much for your kind words! Will definitely be doing a video about wheels soon!
And ever since I watched your videos I loved skating and I'm going skating tomorrow and I used to fall all the time but now I'm
really good at it, it's been tough but you made it easier thank you xoxo
I loved both tutorials! Thanks ladies
I find your videos so helpful! Thank you so so so so much!
I like how coco put her own style when she skate
this makes me so happy! let's have a tutorial on how to braid forward please! I'm trying to learn on my own and I'm making some progress but it would make it so much easier if I had a teacher! Please! I love you guys!

I like how smooth she is with the skates.
This is my favorite video of yours. I love Coco, wish she was in the states more often
Awsome videos. It's been 3 days as a beginner and I'm doing alot I. guess with my skates. Indy u r the best mentor.
I am burning to start doing it. I ordered roller skates yesterday, and I cannot wait to start !!!
Regards from Germany !
I've been practicing this for weeks now, i want to skate like her!
You girls are amazing!!
