Coming from an expert skater, it is good to learn how to proficiently skate forwards and backwards first. Then you go into transitioning from front to back and then back to front. Then you move into balancing on your heels and toes. Then you move into spins (heel-toe and then toe spins). After all of that, you can start into more advanced moves like pivots and other moves you want to learn. It will take awhile so be patient. I have many people coming up to me asking me to teach them moves but can't do the basics. It took some of us 5, 10, 15 years to get to this point. It won't happen over night but you have to practice continuously to get better.
@@DeeDellimore You promised you would delete any hate speech from that long thread and yet I now see you have left that defamatory attack on me from Cerissa Powell on that long thread
@@marthaedwards8199 honey, i receive so many comments on this video and havent even checked that thread again. Sorry you felt attacked by someone but its not in my power to police everyone. I do what I can, the rest you do for yourself. dont like what someone says? Best thing to do is block them💜
This is so wild since in America it’s so normal to pay $20 on a Friday night to skate with a ton of people on the same in the same area. You can skate in the middle of the flore if you’re a beginner. It’s certainly not ideal for beginners. You can’t go there everyday because it may be closed and it’s expensive.
Quick Notes: 1. Weight Placement (Good Posture)--Slowly Squat downward while practicing balancing from left to right. 2. Lay an egg-- while feet snake out as going into a squat. 3. Bubbles- While skating backwards cross one foot over the other. 4. 2 ways to stop 5. No front wheels 6. Skate with one foot in front of the other... Loved this video. Watched it twice. Thank you for taking the time to help us get stronger at skating. So fun ❤️🎈
Good morning Nice ok. Your videos are beautiful. I always support you too. I hope I get noticed and shout out to your vlog idol ERWIN CAVITE TV from Philippines 🇵🇭.
Absolute beginner at 62(!) I got a lot from this tutorial! So important to know what your body is doing and I guess with practicing it becomes second nature, thanks Dee!
Absolute beginner as well. How is it going? I just got my first skate shoes as my new year resolution and I am not giving up. Quite challenging but I can do it!
I skated a lot growing up, but haven't skated in 15 or so years and forgot how. This was probably the most helpful video to me on how to get started again. Thank you so much for sharing!!!
OMGGG Exact comment I was looking for. !!!!!LOL, Grew up skating ALWAYS owned my own. Last few times skating ⛸️was maybe 4 years ago😬😬. Went last week 🤬🤬 was like how did I forget , ?why so hard...outta shape CLEARLY was what I gathered. Smh. Last night bought skates at childhood rink. Adjusted, fit great etc. Skated 2 hours only stopped ONCE for 15 minutes to rest and water..😁 Def a great workout & fun!!! Great video
Same! I skated almost every weekend from 6-16 years old and then I stopped once I started driving. Now 20 years later it’s like I’ve went back to almost beginner level. I’m trying to gain the proficiency I once had but I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. I’m so wobbly.
@@BlackRosary81 practice, yourbody has changed since then so your weight distribution has also changed. your brain needs practice to adjust to those changes hope by now you made some progress
For anyone who believes that you forget how to do things, always keep this in Mind; even when you stop doing something you've done for a very long Time, your body doesn't completely forget, believe it or not. As someone who has been skating on and off for more than 22+ years, your Mind & Body still retains a little of that knowledge you've had for years. 🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾
Best explanation/demo of a bubble I've seen...I've been trying to do it and could not get my feet to come together going forward until hearing you explain that you need to bend SUPER low as a beginner. Thanks!
I love the way you explain everything. I just started back April 2021. Got my skates and I'm looking forward to the journey from this point. So far I'm still in the beginning of keeping good balance. You have a good point when it comes to weigh distribution. Still learning this all over again at age 39. Thank you for your video. 💜
I just love that you share which muscles to invoke and when and how to shift your weight. I find this MOST helpful! I am so grateful you are sharing this! :)
I know you probably won't see it as it's an old video but it was extremely helpful for me! I could not do the bubbles for the life of me and thanks to you I'm bubbling like crazy 💃❤️
Yes!! I started skating backwards today and came home to watch this video. I’m happy to report I naturally layed my eggs and closed my butt so much I’m sore! Success I would say. Thank you so much for this extremely informative video.
Girl, you skating backwards and pressing out "laaay that eggg" had me hollering! Thanks for the tips, they are so, so useful and your description for everthing is very clear. Great to learn from someone who also startet fairly recently!
You gotta ska'WEEEEEEZE the kittycat 12:50 .... I HOLLERED!! 🤣🤣🤣 I'm SO JEALOUS OF THE SPACE YOU'VE FOUND!!!! Ugh, it's GORGEOUSSSSS and SPACIOUS, the floor is PERFECT, and there's plenty of PERSONAL room to be UNBOTHERED BY KOLONIZED HUMANS!!! #IntrovertLife I want oneeee!!!!! 😭😭😫
For those struggling with the plow stop, the one from the bubbles, don't think about curving your skate, push your legs straight out to your sides. That helped me.
the analogies you give actually helped me understand a lot! i also appreciate you showing your full form for the bubbles since i was hanging such a hard time until you said what muscles specifically help control this
I love your approach so much! Its really easy to understand and very beginner friendly. I was struggling with other videos because of terminology and such. You explain everything so well and understand where beginners are, especially us who haven’t skated before and don’t know what to expect
I’ve watched about 3 other videos trying to learn how to easily go frontwards, and this is the first one that I’ve actually found efficient . Thank you!
I ordered myself my first pair of skates since I was a teenager. I used to skate when I was little (quad skates) and then inline/rollerblades when I was a teenager. I'm so excited. I hope some of it just comes back to me...I can remember what it feels like.
I’m new to skating and find every time I get my skates on I’m starting from “scratch” - this was super helpful for warming up I’ll be doing bubbles every time I start 😀😀🛼
I love the way you instruct!! you have this calm and reassuring vibe abt u that make me feel like i can do it too if i just practice!! thank u for ur tips and wisdom :))
This was great! Thank you so much! I know this stuff from my youth but it was a great refresher and I had my interested kids watch it who want to learn☺️🤜🤛
You did a great job of explaining these drills! I couldn't get the hang of bubbles until your explanation lmao I like these drills because they feel a lot more beginner friendly than a bunch of other videos these I can do hahaha
Woah you live in the Netherlands? I started skating recently and couldn't really find good places to skate. Watching this video I realized, there are good places haha. Thank you for this helpful video!
I really enjoyed your video! As it's aimed at beginners I'd like to add that the toe stop is better used only while going backwards, in the drag method you've shown it can lead you to roll your ankle depending on the surface you're skating on and your speed. Edit: going backwards as in turnaround toe stop
I've been struggling with stopping with my toe stop and like you mentioned, it leads me to roll my ankle and it strains it quite a lot, what do you suggest?
What a helpful video! Been out of skating for several years now and just took the skates out of the closet. You are lucky to have a nice smooth place to skate!
love the way you explain backwards bubble 😆 I'm working on that at the moment. So far I can only do 2 at a time. I've been thinking of that area as my lower bum but this will now live rent-free in my brain forever!!!
I know how to skate, just really interested in learning new tricks etc, also getting myself a new pair of roller skates❤️More skating videos please😫love them🥰
Pick a move and work on it. Pick something that's geared to your skillset strength. Learning to balance on your toes and heels help tremendously so I say begin with those.
Jij woont sws in de buurt van Zuidplein!! Wilde ff zeggen dat je kanaal top is! Ik heb net mijn eerste paar rolschaatsen gekocht en als ze binnen zijn ga ik starten! Ik kan niet wachten!

Forgot to add learning cross overs going forwards and backwards.
Sounds good 😊
How long would you say it takes to become proficient at forward skating, specifically ?
@@alisharo58 ... Depends on the person and how much they practice.
@@ericjordan6059 understood. I was looking for an example like “an hour a day for [insert number] months” or something like that.
"Lay the egg, then close your butthole" was what made me finally get backward bubbles. LOL
The power of visualisation 😂
I've been cry/laughing at this for a minute 😂
@@DeeDellimore You promised you would delete any hate speech from that long thread and yet I now see you have left that defamatory attack on me from Cerissa Powell on that long thread
Haha I’m a lot better at the back bubbles I think maybe bc it’s more unconscious to me

That huge bike room had me wondering if you were in the Netherlands and glad to know I was correct! such an awesome indoor space to skate.
Haha yes we sure do love our bikes! And it does make for great warm skating places during the winter
hahaha samee i’m like where is this
Hahahahahha saamme!! Came to the comment section just to check if I was right!

yess please make more videos like this! it’s so nice to see other black skaters making content, we’re so often overlooked.
The chicken and the eggggg please that was so funny! Thank you! I'm a 3-day skater and been learning bubbles, and I think this is the best tip ever

Yaass!! Welcome to the community

I am your expert roller skater.30+ plus years ago I skated every weekend. 'Backward Skaters ONLY'.Keep instructing.

She did not say think of it like a chicken laying an egg 🥚😂😂 I can't. I love it!
I'm already in love from the intro. I get my skates today!!!!!
Whoohoo!!!
I was a little confused what you meant about how to do bubbles and when you said lay and egg in instantly clicked 😂
This is a great practice video. Just got my skates and haven't skated since I was 10 years old 😒🤦♀️😆 So lots to learn. Thanks for the tips!!!
I’ve watched about 3 other videos trying to learn how to easily go frontwards, and this is the first one that I’ve actually found efficient . Thank you!
thank you for watching and happy to hear it was helpful
You’re insanely gorgeous on top of informative. Thank you for this content .
Im so thankful for this bc skating backwards is so hard for me. Idk why
I ordered myself my first pair of skates since I was a teenager. I used to skate when I was little (quad skates) and then inline/rollerblades when I was a teenager. I'm so excited. I hope some of it just comes back to me...I can remember what it feels like.
Your voice is so calming!! Thank you for this!!
Awhh thank you!
You are a good teacher!
Glad you think so!
Best skating tutorial on TH-cam 💗
Thanks Sis, the backward bubbles was a great idea on how to skate backwards...I never thought of that...can't wait to try.
Excellent your explanation. I just started yesterday. Im watching several beginner's videos. Your is very detailed. Very useful. Thank you so much
I’m new to skating and find every time I get my skates on I’m starting from “scratch” - this was super helpful for warming up I’ll be doing bubbles every time I start 😀😀🛼
Your braids are gorgeous!!
I love the way you instruct!! you have this calm and reassuring vibe abt u that make me feel like i can do it too if i just practice!! thank u for ur tips and wisdom :))
I'm a beginner and this video was so helpful to give me some drills that I can work on in my apartment! Thank you:-)
Also you're hilarious and so relatable 🙏❤️
Great video! I was having trouble doing bubbles until my trucks were loosened. *Beginners with new factory skates may need to loosen trucks
that's a great tip! I have to say it took me a year to figure out that was what was hindering some moves
My son and I practice to your vid!!
You're great at explaining moves. I appreciate the different camera angles! Thank you so much!!!!
You are an amazing storyteller. I am in the middle of the video and I stopped to comment, thanks for the perspective ❤
"your thighs are in the way" girl preaaaaaaach I love this thicc girl representation haha
The struggle is reaaaalll
The pizza and chicken got me ngl😂
This was great! Thank you so much! I know this stuff from my youth but it was a great refresher and I had my interested kids watch it who want to learn☺️🤜🤛
Haha, squeeze the kittycat. :D Haha, nice one.
I skated backwards for the first time because of your video !!!! ❤❤❤

Goodluck!!! You can do it🤗🤗
Omg, your video is the best!!!!! You make this fun! Y’all cute too!
Thank you for these tips! 🙌🏽❤️😊
Wow you’re a fast learner! You only been skating for 10 months and you’re skating like a pro. Good job!
Thank you!! So helpful, clear, and concise. Can't wait to practice.
You did a great job of explaining these drills! I couldn't get the hang of bubbles until your explanation lmao I like these drills because they feel a lot more beginner friendly than a bunch of other videos these I can do hahaha
The chicken and egg analogy always helps hahaha
I enjoyed watching & learning. My skates will be delivered on Sat.
Very clear, down to earth, and helpful! Thank you so much!!
I love your tutorial and your soothing voice. Can’t wait to buy some skates!
So glad I found your page!
This is one of the best beginner skate videos I've seen :)
Haha I enjoyed this so much, I literally laughed the whole video and it was soooo helpful 😂
I started rollerskating 6 days ago! Thanks for these
Hope it helps!! I'll be making more videos on moves I learned along the way
Thank you for this!! This made me way less scared to start skating :)
You can do it! You Got this girl

On behalf of my 7 year old niece (just started skating) and myself (haven't skated in 20 years) thank you so much for making this video. Subscribed
Was watching some top ppl on here and it was taking forever to get the point this was entertaining and helpful!
Love at first sight 😍😍

I've been struggling with stopping with my toe stop and like you mentioned, it leads me to roll my ankle and it strains it quite a lot, what do you suggest?
I love your videos! They're soooo good. Also so jealous of your skating space 😭
This is so helpful! One of the best videos I've been lucky enough to watch. Thank you so much for posting!!
Ok I love your explanations! This helped me finally do a bubble!
Yaayy!! go youuu :D
Just got new skates for Christmas and I usually fall A lot. So I'll give you an update
Lovely spirit!
Such an awesomeeee video! Thank you for making this video, you're THE BEST!
What a great place to practice!
I'm gonna have trouble with number 5. Good tips
What a helpful video! Been out of skating for several years now and just took the skates out of the closet. You are lucky to have a nice smooth place to skate!
love the way you explain backwards bubble 😆 I'm working on that at the moment. So far I can only do 2 at a time.
I've been thinking of that area as my lower bum but this will now live rent-free in my brain forever!!!
Best and well explained video for very very beginners moves! Also love the names of the moves hehe

“Lay that egg, close your butthole” you’re hilarious. Subbed!
Welcome to the skate family!
It really helps ! Thanks
Going to go outside and do my squats, core work and yes squeezing 🤗
i like your terms like pizza or laying an egg bc they stand out and make these easier to remember
It’s honestly how my brain makes things comprehensible for me☺️ I’m glad it helps others too
Jij woont sws in de buurt van Zuidplein!! Wilde ff zeggen dat je kanaal top is! Ik heb net mijn eerste paar rolschaatsen gekocht en als ze binnen zijn ga ik starten! Ik kan niet wachten!
I know how to skate really well but always room for improvement
This helps a lot! Thank you!
Such a great video pretty lady.
I really like how you put how difficult it is
The moonwalk thoooo❤️❤️
Needed these tips. I'm a newbie 😊
Gonna buy skates this week! So thank you for this 😬
Awesome! welcome to the community
