@@hbomb269Its a good idea to AT LEAST wear wrist protectors and a helmet, if you fall there’s a bigger chance you damage your head or wrists badly than your elbows and knees. But the most important thing is confidence!
@@Fruit_Juiceabsolutely agree! Well said! Also? As someone who always naturally put my arms out at all for falling... I would have definitely damaged my wrists, so I second third & fourth this...Lol
@@chanceflores1786 Sure! I was skating on a quite flat sidewalk. I started slowing down to turn around, which made me more vulnerable to small obstacles. My wheels got slightly stuck on a crack or a twig and stopped cooperating ( kinda stopped and stopped moving in the correct direction ). I started wobbling and fell back. To avoid hitting my head, I tried to save myself by falling on an arm ( had full armor, so my wrist was unharmed but the impact went up to the forearm ). So I fell down, hand 90° on the ground & heard a crack. I recommend practicing falls on grass to learn to properly land!
Pov: you try and be like everyone else even though youve only skated for 5 minutes so you go as fast as everyone else and basically force urself to learn quicker
@@god11751 even on inline it’s not a good idea, you can do it putting the weight on the heels but then that bearing cleaning is gonna make you hate rocky surfaces
rocky areas are inevitable… whenever I encounter a rock in the wild or a sand bank, I rennet to stagger my feet, or fast feet so a quick step step step. Always remember safety is sexy gear is major especially when falling is just a part of skating! Wear a helmet yall! Ily
And do NOT wear shorts whithout satey gaar because u will and im being fr scrape ur knees really bad on the concrete And never make fun of other people who dont know how to use it because they will try impress u and hurt themsekves very badly
I don't roller skate but I know how to because of roller blades I tried it I was pretty good but one thing that made me almost falll on my face is that I did the heel stop with one foot it's pretty nice honestly but I prefer roller blades
One time me and my friends went to A park and were rollerskating but my friends didn’t know how to all of them ended up falling down and getting hurt all of them were fine I was the only one that didn’t fall I am very good at rollerskating and ice-skating my friends were so jealous they just walked instead of skating we still laugh to that day😂
that just about everything that i did when i first started but i'm a lot better now, i went down my first small ramp 1-2 or more years ago and i went on from there, i went down bigger ramps until i went down the biggest one yet which is pretty big, i'm still working on going down a bigger one, i've only been skating for 1-2 maybe 3 years so i'm not the best but i'm a lot better then before
It shouldn't be a question of how easy it is to skate, it should be fitting to your interest. Do you like skating indoors? Where it is free and the ground is smooth, music playing and you're free to groove as much as you like? Try quad skates. Do you like outdoor skating? Where you can go as far as you can possibly go, as fast as you please, all the while enjoying the outdoors? Try inlines. This doesn't mean you cant use inlines in a indoor rink and this doesn't mean you cant use quads outdoors, but it purely comes down to preference and style. Try both and see what you like more, its different for everybody and no matter what, you will fall and there is no way to circumvent that unless you dont try to skate at all. Happy skating!
Forgot the most important. I don't know why all teachers never teach the most important. WHYYYYY.... IN HEEEELLLLL YOU NEVER TEACH TO WEAR PROTECTIONS AND A HELMEEEETTTTTTTT....... WHYYYYYYY.....
Here me out here. If you fall 100% yeall at your skates and mumble under your breath when you get back up. It really builds determination. "I said we're SKATING you're SKATES we're GOING THIS WAY" "tired of being on the floor in going this way I said I'm skating 😤" we all have the moments and getting them out feels soon much better
Hi! I just bought my skates, and I love them so much. But I have severe drift when skating at the roller rink. I’ve never had this problem with rentals. Is it skill issues or something else? Please let me know, this problem is very discouraging and I can’t skate calmly and with peace of mind.
I like to practice in my church parking lot there’s plenty of hills of varying sizes I can go up and down on and it’s smooth plus at youth group and friends and I roller skate/skateboard together
I've been skating for 2 1/2 years I'm not a complete professional but these tips are real but my tip is point your toe down/out but keep your leg back dont put it out to the side
Good beginner posture for balance is what id call piggyback posture 😅 bent knees and leaning forward slightly so your weight isnt shifted back so your feet cant slide away from you 👌🏻
I went roller skating for my cousins 5th birthday and i had to go fast because if i went slow i would stop and couldn't move and then i would have to go on my knees and crawl to somewhere where i can pull myself back up😂
I don't roller skate but I know how to because of roller blades I tried it I was pretty good but one thing that made me almost falll on my face is that I did the heel stop with one foot it's pretty nice honestly but I prefer roller blades
I have skates that I tried to take on concrete and I'm having issues going over the cracks. Do I have the wrong size wheels or do I need to find some really soft wheels? Why do you guys look so effotless
Errr could possibly be your wheels. I’m not an expert with quad wheels, but I know the big gummy ones are better for outdoors than the little hard ones made for rink skating
last night i bought roller blades and the moment we got home i used it for about 4 hours😂and then the next day the moment i woke up i instantly wore my roller blades😂😂😂
this may seem obvious, but beginners should know how to appropriately wear gear. my first attempt at skating I lost my balance, fell and broke my wrist. It turns out, I didn't have the wrist guard on correctly. it was a hard lesson to learn.
Thanks for the tip babe, but I feel strong that I'll be more into roller blading again instead of skating. I know it takes time but I'm getting very frustrated. I love these Converse skates from Skate Nation, but if I get back on rollerblades again and practice on rollerblades maybe I'll switch back to skating and practice on my skate Converse. I really want to learn how to escape but I think I'm better at rollerblading
How do you go safely down a hill?
Checkout my full length video on how to go downhill!! So much info for safety and beginners 🫶🤙 lmk if it helps! 😄
This is the safest way to get down a hill with skates on! 😳💛🐛
@@PollySkates btw love ur vids u should recommend pretending there are no rails
you dont, full send it lol
@@PollySkatesthank you for helping 😊
I recommend beginners wear wrist guards. When (not if) you fall, you won’t break your wrist.
Oh I like the recommendation! 🫶🙏🤙
Yeah and elbow and knee protectors also if u feel very uncomfortable wear a helmet

I agree, I feel like wrist and knee pads are the minimum, especially for beginners
It helped me a lot thanks for the tip ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I'm so glad!❤️❤️❤️❤️
Broke my arm while skating the other day. Not giving up tho, just gonna practice falls when I get better and start learning again 💪
Can you tell me how you broke your arm so i can avoid doing it

I fall almost every time I skate. I really enjoy it though, the skating.
Keep practicing! 🤙🫶
thanks so much!!!

I took you advice and when I tried again I broke my hand/wrist 😂
That don't give up and don't have a bad attitude part is funny but true.
Good video.
Ty! ☺️🫶
I fell and had a bad attitude for over a year. Getting back into it now. Lmao
same lmao
I'm starting again from start after 5yrs with new roller skates
I almost broke my tailbone practicing but now i can go around my whole town in my roller blades😊
I one time only pushed with my right and I thought I did it but that's wrong pick up both skates
Plz pin so ppl know not to do this
??
I just bought My first pair & I really needed The last tip cause I had My first fall
Thank you so much ❤️
❤️
Oh jeez the throw on those skates. I feel that in my heart. Take care of your skates!
🙉
What do you do if you’re roller skating in a rocky area?
I'm sorry to break it to you but it's simply not possible.
@@god11751 even on inline it’s not a good idea, you can do it putting the weight on the heels but then that bearing cleaning is gonna make you hate rocky surfaces

omg rocky areas outside are all I have 😭 😭
You do a loop dee loop and pull, and your skates all lookin cool!
Wtf a horse bike😅😅😅
It was incredible! Had to stop him to ask if he could be our vid 😄
😂😂😂😂
Can you please guide me stop my rollerblades at high speeds or taking sharp turns at high speeds😊
And do NOT wear shorts whithout satey gaar because u will and im being fr scrape ur knees really bad on the concrete
And never make fun of other people who dont know how to use it because they will try impress u and hurt themsekves very badly

The skates at the end look the exact same as mine

What is more easy to learn roller skates or roller blades
Lemme know too

Stay positive and keep practicing, you'll improve in no time!

Forgot the most important. I don't know why all teachers never teach the most important. WHYYYYY.... IN HEEEELLLLL YOU NEVER TEACH TO WEAR PROTECTIONS AND A HELMEEEETTTTTTTT....... WHYYYYYYY.....
How about, “Don’t get your bearings in the sand!” 😮😳😬
Here me out here.
If you fall 100% yeall at your skates and mumble under your breath when you get back up. It really builds determination.
"I said we're SKATING you're SKATES we're GOING THIS WAY"
"tired of being on the floor in going this way I said I'm skating 😤" we all have the moments and getting them out feels soon much better
As a skateboarder I learned to fall because it happens A LOT, you'll eventually get used to it.
Hi! I just bought my skates, and I love them so much. But I have severe drift when skating at the roller rink. I’ve never had this problem with rentals. Is it skill issues or something else? Please let me know, this problem is very discouraging and I can’t skate calmly and with peace of mind.
I couldnt throw my skates no matter what😂❤❤❤
can u teach w rollerblades possibly.. and like explain how 2 stand straight? i can move but my blades just go to the side
I like to practice in my church parking lot there’s plenty of hills of varying sizes I can go up and down on and it’s smooth plus at youth group and friends and I roller skate/skateboard together
I've been skating for 2 1/2 years I'm not a complete professional but these tips are real but my tip is point your toe down/out but keep your leg back dont put it out to the side
How do you stop with those states?
I have lots of videos on how to stop! I can make more tho 🫶🙏
unrelated but does anyone know what's the music playing in the background?
Is it normal to your foot sole to hurt A HELL OF A LOT after practicing? I'he heard this is just in the beginning
Good beginner posture for balance is what id call piggyback posture 😅 bent knees and leaning forward slightly so your weight isnt shifted back so your feet cant slide away from you 👌🏻
A tip is dont fall backwards. If you fall forward then you have more chance of ending up on your kneese and not your back
That’s a fact! When you fall use that frustration get yourself back up and keep going!
I went roller skating for my cousins 5th birthday and i had to go fast because if i went slow i would stop and couldn't move and then i would have to go on my knees and crawl to somewhere where i can pull myself back up😂
lmao i went to a rollerskating rink today for a school trip and it was SO fun i taught myself everything and i taught myself how to skate
Is that the South Bay?
I don’t think so!
How do I stop? I find it really hard and I have to slam against a wall just to break my momentum ahaha.a…
She said `don’t give up if u fall’
Bro my 🍑still hurts
Yesterday I kept falling skating but I learned in one day but I still need to practice
I don't roller skate but I know how to because of roller blades I tried it I was pretty good but one thing that made me almost falll on my face is that I did the heel stop with one foot it's pretty nice honestly but I prefer roller blades
I already have gone pretty fast😂 I can’t help it though.😅
The last time i tried skating i ended up having to leave because i fell in a way that made my nerves go goofy and my lungs almost collapse lol
Skating and the breeders! Followed.
Know how to ice skate but don't know roller skating
Nooo you threw your skates😅 throw it to me please I am using my super old ones😢
Do you have a fuck wit us Don’t nice Dad night then you and Paul we all said no❤
How about ice skating????
I have skates that I tried to take on concrete and I'm having issues going over the cracks. Do I have the wrong size wheels or do I need to find some really soft wheels? Why do you guys look so effotless
Errr could possibly be your wheels. I’m not an expert with quad wheels, but I know the big gummy ones are better for outdoors than the little hard ones made for rink skating
Tysm! I’ve been watching your channel b/c I’m starting rollerblading! I’m so excited! Ty! ❤
Omgosh so excited for you!!!! ❤️❤️
I use the toe stop to push bc it’s easier….
last night i bought roller blades and the moment we got home i used it for about 4 hours😂and then the next day the moment i woke up i instantly wore my roller blades😂😂😂
🥹 I love this
Thanks! I’m going to buy roller skates soon bc I wanna try smth new :D
Love this!!! 🤗💗🤙
Knowing how heavy some roller skates are, that shot of the girl throwing the skates scared me 😂
😅
I recommend this vid to all beginner skaters
🥹🫶🙏
There is no if to falling. It WILL happen. I hurt my arm and had to wear it in a sling for a couple of days one time. 🤕
❤️🩹
She can bend at the waist tho that’s fine I don’t mind
Cannonball? That's a deep cut
My aunt is going to get me rollerskates as a gift i hope she gets me the blue ones!!! but if theres no blue im fine with pink or green
Ooooh I love all those colors!! 💚💚
Ummm.. I’ve fully gave up rollerskating because I broke my leg my I might start again soon
Valid 😢❤️🩹
I know you can you play rollerblade

this may seem obvious, but beginners should know how to appropriately wear gear. my first attempt at skating I lost my balance, fell and broke my wrist. It turns out, I didn't have the wrist guard on correctly. it was a hard lesson to learn.
Ouch! Wrist guards are actually kinda confusing sometimes!! Thanks for the video idea!! This is a really good lesson!! 🫶🤙🙏💯
Can you please make a video?How to catch yourself?When you fall backwards please😊
Old bend at the waist more 😊
Pa lalalalala Polly
Also wear protective gear when you’re learning like pads, wrist guards, and a helmet
💯💯
Spongebob socks
1 year, 3 pairs of skates, 83 falls and 41 injuries. All worth it it have fun.
41 injuries!!?! 🙉
What roller skates does the first girl have? (the girl with the black shorts and the long socks with the black skates)
Custom vans
this video randomly started playing on my 90s music playlist 😅 cool video tho !
😂 amazing
I now how to skeat and am 9 years old
Do you live in sandyago cause when I was there I saw lot's of people roller skating
LA! Close! But that’s so cool!
My parents always lied to me when roller skating, they always told me to glue my skates to the ground, thankfully i went into rollerblades
😄
I work on the strand and never thought of skating here lol maybe ill use it to do the 15 minute walk to my car 😅
Yessss!!!
Haha broke my fibula from skating today 🥲 the traumas coming back.
Oh no! I’m sorry to hear that! ❤️🩹 wishing you an easy and speedy recovery!
If i was that girl flying down that hill i would be dead..... I AM HORRIFIED TO SKATE! I am going skating today..............!
‼️🎉
Your videos are so helpful you earn't a subscriber :)@@PollySkates
So lucky my matress is on the floor. I fall every night to get into bed, so I know how to make it safe.
Oh good!!! Mattresses are great for learning!!!
I rolled down a hill but with rollerblades 😂 and I was bleeding but I'm okay

Do your prefer inline or qauds?
Inline 🤭
But you throw the skate😂
