With tip 1 you say bring your weight over the center of the skates, but do you keep it there during the corners or do you bring it more to the back? Because I thought your skates would steer better when you are more on your back wheels when you are on a 200m track?
I always try to keep my weight in the middle of my skates and push there as well. If you can find a constant balance you will be able to manipulate your skates easily (turn them), but often times if that skill set isn't strong enough your weight will rock forward and back in your skates and it can feel like they simply won't turn and/or that you're not in control, in which case people tend to sit on their heels. This is probably because focusing on putting the weight on just the heel prevents that rocking motion, but puts stress on some wheels more than others as you skate. My thought process for targeting the middle of the skate is that distributing your weight evenly over all the wheels will both help you roll and grip better vs loading so heavily on just 1 or 2 wheels if you can manage to engage your core and control your body enough to find that balance.
@@JoeyMantiaSkates thank you for the great and clear respons. The reason is not instability but coaches with an ice skating background who always shout keep your weight on the back.
57 years old. Haven’t been on inline skates in 20+ years. Bought a pair to get some much needed exercise. Grew up on hockey skates but never really got proficient on inlines. This video made SO MUCH SENSE and helped me to visualize how to inline skate better. Will be checking out your other videos as I get my skating-legs back in action. Thanks!!!
Still skating, Jim? 62 here and just getting back into skating, hoping to get legs in shape for ski season. Pulled out old skates and got new wheels and bearings and it's just like riding a bicycle, you never forget. Did not forget the feeling when I ended up on my butt the second day, either.
Tenho 44 anos, nunca tive oportunidade de aprender andar com patins, então comprei um patins skate e levei muitos tombos de bunda, meu Deus como doeu! Estou conseguindo andar! E agora achei esse vídeo, pois gostaria de andar na via pública 😅
@jimnotman6902 I hope you stuck with it and built up your skating legs. It’s a hard slog when you come back to it with the memory of how it felt all those years before. Gotta do the hard work to build those muscles so you can really get into it and have some fun.
hai sir my name is bhaskar and I am from india and actually am 46 years old and it was my dream to become skater in my teen age but due to my financial crisis i couldnot even afford skates and now at this age i am back to fulfill my dream and now i have purchased both roller and liner and now already i am practising roller skates your suggestions needed
Thanks for these useful tips! My son is a junior inline skater. We're your big fans. He watches all your videos that inspired him to do more skills and physical training. He's so glad to watch this new video. It's very helpful, thanks a lot!!
Thanks for the tips. My comments are 1. For city skating, put weight on heals are much safer since you never know where the cracks are, and 2 pushing to the sides depending on speed since I can not possibly skate up big hill by pushing to the side.
This video is about improving speed on flat ground, which you won't be working on when you are dealing with cracks and hills, and that's fine. You're right about tips for cracks and hills.
What an amazing and informative video you did! You are the first person I see saying clearly that the goal is to have a lateral push. That's what I could see the pros doing differently, but I couldn't quite understand what were they doing to be moving like that. Thanks for the whole video! It's all great tips!
Man, thank you so much. Been skating for a year and just taking one session keeping these things in mind has greatly improved my skating. Its improved my speed and endurance a lot, but I didn't expect it to also help with balance and concentrating weight between legs. I'm finally able to start using my heel brake and t-stop. They still need a lot of work, but I just didn't have the balance to even start them before. Your tips about coming down softly with the other skate and about pushing to the side particularly helped with the balance issue.
@@JoeyMantiaSkates hey man good to finally see your videos I just subscribed. Skating has been the biggest thing in my life ever since I was three years old. I am fourteen now and I have been on a couple teams, it is just amazing to see my favorite skater ever give me tips and help me improve
I’m not sure about the mechanics behind it, but tip 4 combined with arm swings naturally made me transition onto the outside edges of my recovering foot. On the right track, I hope? All great tips, thanks for the video!
This was a very thorough yet concise video. Oftentimes, the skating videos are more of the author showing off or performing moves a beginner is incapable of. Your repeated demonstrations in real time and slow motion were excellent. Good job.
This is exactly the tutorial I've been looking for. It's a bit hard to judge whether the bellybutton is in the right place, but other tips are just great! Thank you so much Joey.
Thank you Joey for building confidence in us as beginners to use the right techniques . Hearty congrats for being two time world champion. So proud of you. Love from all skaters in Dubai.
This video really helped me get skate. After fixing my form with steps 1 and 2, something just "clicked" in my head and I was able to skate with full strokes. Thank you so much!
Your a hero for doing these videos. I love skating so much and your videos really help. Sometimes i feel so lost with technique but after refer back your videos and am finding great improvement.
Thank you for this great further episode. Your bad "examples" are also very good for a normal Skater, that I must look two times to understand the mistake😁 I will try to get better 👌👍
haha! as mentioned, it's often hard to see the mistakes because the difference between a good body position and bad one is sometimes very small. The point here is to think about employing the tips to help get you better. glad it helped
@@JoeyMantiaSkates Yes, your douple push episode helped a lot in special the part with the "constant" compression was very important for me to understand. Before, I tryed more to double push, now it looks much better, smoother😁
As I am a beginner someone should observe and tell me , but joey I am thinking of your videos & acting like that while skating and feeling that I am doing like a world champion , priceless .Thank you . I also shared your videos on Dxbskaters (Dubai Skaters group ).
This was helpful. Got rollerblades, went 100 ft, shins killing me. Found this video stood up and tried it, went 50 ft without any pain. Then my muscles came screaming back. Haha. Thanks I’ll keep at it.
Thank you! I watched this yesterday and went to my weekly skate sesh with my daughter today. I was so much faster and more balanced with some of these tips. Game changer for me since getting back to skating after fifteen years.
This is very useful on every level of skater, I've been skating for few years and there's still so much more technique that i'm still lacking from this video👍👍👍
I tried to get back into skating last year but after 6 months I stopped again. I have bought new Powerslide Nexts a month ago and they feel much better but I have to build my legs up again which will take a long time. Some good tips here to help me be more mindful and focused on my technique as I like to get down pretty low into more of a speed skating position.
I was wondering why I felt off while skating after it had been YEARS since I skated. Watching this made me realize I had been doing wrong to begin with lol
This is so brilliant! I love this. Thank you so much. I've been skating since I was little for fun and didn't know how to explain it to my friends. This makes so much sense!
Thank you! I used to figure skate and play hockey back in Russia but last year moved to Hong Kong. Only to realize there's not... winter here. So I quit skating. Well, I was supposed to study pharmacy anyways. I got bored of piano and pharmacy so I decided to get inline skates and learn to skate again. Not that it would feel the same but... you gotta admit, it feels almost the same. There's differences and I learned a lot from this videos. But what do I know. I'm just trying to learn
This is the truth right here. Great video, sir! I’ve skated for years played roller yada yada but these simple tips were invaluable even as an experienced skater. It helped me find rationale in why it works when you see it done “right” and when you see it done “almost right” 😂. Damn right I hit that subscribe button
Yo, Joey this video helped a great deal. I am already taking much longer, smoother, relaxed strides with these tips. I can't thank you enough. Now go kick everyone's asses at the Olympics!!!
Am skating after a year due to the pandemic and i had really forgot all the correct position, correct way of doin it and now after my first session my legs were paining a lot and ya thank u soooooo sooo sooo much sir for dis video it helped me alot
Thank you so much. My cousin's been teaching me how to skate, but your tips are really helpful, gonna apply them next time I go skating. Love From UAE♥
the last one is the one i really have to remind myself of. this year i really wanted to focus on my form and just by working on it was able to skate an extra 1-2 mph. im far from perfect but always remind myself of the basic tips!
I’m a BEGINNER beginner. I haven’t skated since I was 10 yrs old a long ago, and am now just 4 days into learning. I’m sure these tips are super helpful but a little too advanced for me just starting off since I couldn’t tell much of a difference between the correct and incorrect way of doing each technique. I’ll come back in a few months
Thank you - this is SUPER helpful. I've been getting some hip pain while working my stride and now I have some things to work on (particularly your tip #1 and #2 about bellybutton/weight distribution) that I think might solve the problem.
Thank you Joey for sharing your knowledgement, and thanks for being so clear transmitting main ideas. I'm only amateur with lot of excitement, and your videos makes me more eager to put my skates and practice all your priceless advices. Please, go on and many thanks from Spain!!! (Today I got 21kms in one hour and thinking all time in every movement, and... it really works!!!! - of course ... - )
I don't think I'm coordinated enough for this 😅 but I will for sure try to watch out for these things. Never really put much thought into these kind of things. Hopefully I can get some more speed / distance by keeping an eye out for these.
Very good explanations both actual correct and incorrect positioning I watched again and again. I'm new in inline skate I will practice same way how you did.
Your videos have pushed my skating to a new level. Went from struggling to hit 6:30ish min mile splits, now hitting just under 4 min miles with less effort. (I skate on twister edge x, 10 mile session) #1 and #4 are my new homework. You're a skating saint! Any advice on balancing doing leg workouts with weekly skate sessions? Thanks!
Very nice video Mr.Mantia. Maybe create this video like splitscreen would be great. Left side is correct skating and right side is incorrect skating, in same time...
Joey, I would appreciate it if you'd consider doing a video on pushing with the toe (especially right foot) vs. pushing with the heel, picking up the foot flat and opening up the hip. I can really see what it's supposed to look like when you show it, and I just can't quite get this right (Miguel tells me!). Thanks.
Many thanks !!! I learned, ages ago, that the modern HIGH ski boots were created with the help of USA military MD just after WW2. The US military were tired of all the broken ankles of military personnel who were coming back from the German Alps where they went skiing during their leaves of absence. It's easier to "glue" back tibia &/or fibula than the ankle & healing was easier & faster (?). All this to say: What's the advantages of using low shoes rather that rigid ankle holding higher shoes with the same 3 or 4 wheels bases ??? Thanks again
Thanks for very impressive education video session. It's very hard to realize correct body position. Need to review it again and again, and try to reproduce near mirror :)
Ir would be nice of you if you could upload a full off skates training session. With all the exercises, repetitions and sets. That would help us alot now that we cannot train in the track due to covid
Hi Joey, thanks for making these instructional videos. I picked up inline skating about 5-6 weeks ago and noticed a big improvement in speed and efficiency yesterday when I focused mainly on constant compression and lateral push via hip abduction instead of hip extension. One area that I find challenging is going uphill. I can do it but it all feels really not fluid or graceful. I often find I lose steam and have to catch my balance before going at the hill again. Would making a video on how to skate uphill more efficiently be something that would interest you?
Hi Joey! I understand these videos take a long time to make, but I get really excited every time you post a new one! Ps. I skate in Houston with Champions Speed, and I was wondering if you will be visiting for the Bear Creek Challenge?
Hey Graeme Holland ! Houston , Texas? If so could you point me in a good direction for a Novice group to skate with Please? I just bought skates a few days ago and would like to start skating again! (Haven't skated in over 10 years) Thank you !!!
Hi Jaden! Yes. I live in Houston TX. There are a few different teams in different areas around the city. In the Spring/Champions area, we meet at the Champions rink, but there are also Empower Racing, Texas Speed, Katy also has a team but I can't remember its name right now. Are you interested in outdoor or indoor skating?
I couldn't really spot the difference between right and wrong in some demos you show. Yeah, I spotted them after watching carefully. I could identify some of my mistakes. Thanks Joey.❤️
Hey Joey, I hope you continue the series of those very valuable skateing tips this season. I would be very happy about that. Maybe you do something completely unconventional in a video and perform your speedskate technique in 4x80 freeskates. Could be entertaining. Greetings
I'm beginning skating and I've only aggressive skates (which are slow). I'm learning/training with your technique. Next year, I'll acquire new skates for cruising (4x80mm). I hope with my training on my little aggressive wheels I'll fly when I'll be on 80mm haha
As always the master at breaking down technique and explaining it. Most athletes it is hard to break it down because some of their technique is just natural abilities but you do a superb job. Would you be able to on upcoming videos make one of talking about dry land training? How positions look, feel, time, ect? With colder, wetter weather coming in the next few months the dryland and plyo training is valuable and easy to do in front of a mirror or laptop camera.
@@JoeyMantiaSkates TY sir. Also "core" is mentioned in past videos of you and others. Core meaning engage just the abs? Or is "core" defined as everything from front, sides and back of the mid-section? How should this feel like because every time I engage and flex the core I tire out very fast and breathing can not be done as effective.
Good video and sound. I would just suggest that the correct and incorrect position examples be merged instead of cut between. When your skating in the incorrect position switch to the correct One in the same shot. That makes it simpler to notice the differences IMO. You can even switch from correct to incorrect to correct to incorrect and so on more Times..... Besides that, Nice job 👏👏👏👏
With tip 1 you say bring your weight over the center of the skates, but do you keep it there during the corners or do you bring it more to the back? Because I thought your skates would steer better when you are more on your back wheels when you are on a 200m track?

Thanks for the tips. My comments are 1. For city skating, put weight on heals are much safer since you never know where the cracks are, and 2 pushing to the sides depending on speed since I can not possibly skate up big hill by pushing to the side.
You definitely have to push back more than normal to go up hills and yes, when there are cracks, heals is much safer

For explaining the black magic between making an effort and actually " going faster " 👍👍👍👍👍
I don't think I'm coordinated enough for this 😅 but I will for sure try to watch out for these things. Never really put much thought into these kind of things. Hopefully I can get some more speed / distance by keeping an eye out for these.
Very good tips. Not all of them are easy to figure it out, and I think that every single one is important and useful 🙌🏼
Very good explanations both actual correct and incorrect positioning I watched again and again. I'm new in inline skate I will practice same way how you did.
Thank you very much.

Greetings from the Basque Country
Your videos have pushed my skating to a new level. Went from struggling to hit 6:30ish min mile splits, now hitting just under 4 min miles with less effort. (I skate on twister edge x, 10 mile session)
#1 and #4 are my new homework. You're a skating saint! Any advice on balancing doing leg workouts with weekly skate sessions? Thanks!
Excellent, very helpful tips. Thank you Joey.
Very nice video Mr.Mantia. Maybe create this video like splitscreen would be great. Left side is correct skating and right side is incorrect skating, in same time...
Will do that moving forward

Hi Joey, thanks for making these instructional videos. I picked up inline skating about 5-6 weeks ago and noticed a big improvement in speed and efficiency yesterday when I focused mainly on constant compression and lateral push via hip abduction instead of hip extension.
One area that I find challenging is going uphill. I can do it but it all feels really not fluid or graceful. I often find I lose steam and have to catch my balance before going at the hill again. Would making a video on how to skate uphill more efficiently be something that would interest you?
it's on the list. skating up hill never feels good, even for the best skaters on the planet
Dang my legs used to look like that... Finally getting back into skating. Can't wait to get back into shape!
Joey your vids have def improved my skating technique thanks man!
Hi Joey! I understand these videos take a long time to make, but I get really excited every time you post a new one!
Ps. I skate in Houston with Champions Speed, and I was wondering if you will be visiting for the Bear Creek Challenge?
Hey Graeme Holland ! Houston , Texas? If so could you point me in a good direction for a Novice group to skate with Please? I just bought skates a few days ago and would like to start skating again! (Haven't skated in over 10 years) Thank you !!!
Hi Jaden!
Yes. I live in Houston TX. There are a few different teams in different areas around the city. In the Spring/Champions area, we meet at the Champions rink, but there are also Empower Racing, Texas Speed, Katy also has a team but I can't remember its name right now. Are you interested in outdoor or indoor skating?
@@graemeholland1315 I guess mainly outdoor recreational type stuff like city skating etc
@@jadensjourneys144 Okay. What general area of the city would you want to find a team?
@@graemeholland1315 Im willing to drive anywhere in Houston as long as we can all meet up. I personally live in the Meyerland/ NRG stadium area.
Holy crap. Long way from Skate Mania! Thanks for the tips. I'm still skating on some 110 fitness skates.
I couldn't really spot the difference between right and wrong in some demos you show. Yeah, I spotted them after watching carefully. I could identify some of my mistakes. Thanks Joey.❤️
they're really subtle, but make a pretty big difference in your skating in my opinion. glad to help
Explanation was very well given. Thanks so much! It is clear!
very efficient tips, thanks joey
Great tips, thanks! Really impressed with your skating and the way you teach.
great job,it is very helpfull for me.thanks,joey. i m a chinese skater.
Hey Joey, I hope you continue the series of those very valuable skateing tips this season. I would be very happy about that.
Maybe you do something completely unconventional in a video and perform your speedskate technique in 4x80 freeskates.
Could be entertaining.
Greetings
I'm beginning skating and I've only aggressive skates (which are slow). I'm learning/training with your technique. Next year, I'll acquire new skates for cruising (4x80mm). I hope with my training on my little aggressive wheels I'll fly when I'll be on 80mm haha
As always the master at breaking down technique and explaining it. Most athletes it is hard to break it down because some of their technique is just natural abilities but you do a superb job. Would you be able to on upcoming videos make one of talking about dry land training? How positions look, feel, time, ect? With colder, wetter weather coming in the next few months the dryland and plyo training is valuable and easy to do in front of a mirror or laptop camera.
On the list
@@JoeyMantiaSkates TY sir. Also "core" is mentioned in past videos of you and others. Core meaning engage just the abs? Or is "core" defined as everything from front, sides and back of the mid-section? How should this feel like because every time I engage and flex the core I tire out very fast and breathing can not be done as effective.
Good video and sound. I would just suggest that the correct and incorrect position examples be merged instead of cut between. When your skating in the incorrect position switch to the correct One in the same shot. That makes it simpler to notice the differences IMO. You can even switch from correct to incorrect to correct to incorrect and so on more Times..... Besides that, Nice job 👏👏👏👏
Great tips, clearly explained 👍🏻
