I can do it good to the left but not as good to the right. I’m a right hander. Looks very easy….. but isn’t. Thanks for all your tutorials! Very helpful.
Diamond thank you for this video. The skates I initially purchased were stiff, so I returned them. I got a suede skate and it allowed me more flexibility to lean and cross over. It’s also a bit lighter. Who knew!! lol!
I always thought edge work was actually going up on the edge of the wheel. Like when doing an ice Berg spin your spinning on just the front two inside wheels while the front outside wheels and back trucks are off the ground. You can practice this just like your tutorial just got to tilt your ankle more. Kinda like a car that almost tips over on two wheels but you control it.
78a is best. I have Hyper Rollo 1980s vintage wheels. They are indestructible! No conning either. Harder wheels for inside like the 90 range to 105 which is very hard and slides more
It depends on how comfortable, You feel as You loosen Your trucks, Every time You loosen them a little bit, then You skate to see how they feel, You do this, until it's the perfect feel as You lean into Your skates...I Hope this Helps...🥰
Wear safety gear. At the minimum wear wrist guards. Maybe sign up for some simple group classes. The classes for most rinks usually fall on Saturday morning before public session. Have fun🤠🛼🛼
It makes sense to go the the gym and jogging can be helpful. Because it helps you to prevent muscle pain after skating. I’m pushing 60 and feel very comfortable on my rollerskates. Learned it at the age of 15 and paused for 40 years. When I got back on the skates, it was quite easy to roll. After some weeks I was back on the level 40 years ago.

You got it bro! Just keep working 💪🏽
This is actually really helpful!!! Your explanations are quite simple and real af
I have short legs. Scooter pushes are helping me figure out how to crossover. I usually take the corners with one leg out in front.
Lol the look on his face from all the background noises 😂

what does it mean when you can edge skate to the left but have trouble going right?
What skates are you wearing?
Low number wheels like 78 I think is low for concrete
HOW LOOSE SHOULD BE MY TRUCKS

I'm almost 50 and never been on skates. Do you have any tips for an old fragile nooby?
