- Feeling vulnerable sharing my fears and insecurities. But this process is necessary if I want to face up to these self-limiting factors. REMINDER TO SELF: Courage does not mean that you do not feel fear, but it is the act of choosing to manage that fear, and then taking actions/steps to overcome the fear.
Rollerblading - this is undeniably one "land" sport which I'm kinda bad at. Since I bought my inline skates in late-2021, I've been in them for less than 10 times; each practice session spanning approx. 1 hour or so.
I'm still struggling mentally and physically while picking up this sport through the help of TH-cam tutorials. Do you have any tips to share? Lmk in the comment section below!

I too just started rollerblading. As for falling, Ricardo Lino has a video that shows how to fall and not get hurt. Also Asha Kirby has a video on doing curbs that I thought was really helpful. I think you are doing a good job. But, like me can do with more practice. Have fun and go slow until you feel more at ease skating.
Thanks for the tips! I've watched some of Ricardo's YT vids and IG! 👍
I can totally relate to your fears. I just started and I am not a 'spring chicken '. Sometimes I wonder if I will ever learn the skill. So thank you for your honesty and vulnerability in sharing your experience with us.
Dont be discourage, for a beginner you are quite good. Just remember every skater beginning same like yours, full of fear and doubts but once you get comfortable with your skates… everything will come easy. Keep practicing is the key
Thank you for your kind words! Yes! Practicing and building muscle memory seems to be the key to improvement. I'll work on it. 😉
Thanks for sharing this, inspired me to overcome my fears as well. Just bought my own roller skates, a lot of practice coming my way.
We all have our inner demons and fears; but I believe you will be able to overcome yours! Let's work hard together on improving our skills. 😉
@natalia, good luck!
Enjoy! Pascal Briand has the best videos IMO, including falling, balancing on one skate, crossover and exercises
Thanks! Yes, I've watched a couple of his vids & they're very helpful for beginners. 😅👍🏻
Wear all your protectors including padded shorts & never fear falling. Expecr to fall a lot during beginner stage. Falling gives you more confidence. Take it as you are going judo practice a lot of falling also learn to breakfall to reduce your fall impact. Gradually you will maintain your balance & less falling. Joining a school better gives you encouragement. Tell yourself more falling more confidence & improving your skills. Same as how those kids learn falling a norm. Get used to it.
Great advice! I've been considering getting padded shorts or just some protective padding for the lower body 😅
Nice, always awesome to see more skaters in Singapore! Hope to see more skating vlogs to see your progress on wheels.
Thanks for being so encouraging! Yes, I hope to share more progress soon.
Thanks for sharing your experience! It's motivating and encouraging. I'm waiting for my pair of skates to arrive and then I'll also be practicing as well. I'm a first time skater! 😊🌅💛
You're welcome! Feeling excited for you to start on this journey. If you don't have a fear of falling on skates, you should be able to pick up this sport pretty quickly Good luck on wheels! 🛼
@@oheyjelly Thank you! 😊
That's pretty good for the first 2 days! Better than I was :D How's the practice been going? I hope you haven't quit!
As for falling I believe it's actually what improves the rate of our progress the most in the beginning. We make all sorts of weird moves and stay reserved and stiff on skates because we're afraid to fall, but once it happens a few times (just make sure you learn to fall forward/to the side!) we begin to realize that it's not really a big deal. All our skating improves as a result and learning new things, going faster/stopping, etc. just becomes easier to practice.
Hello there! No, I haven't quit, but I'm still guilty of not finding the time to practice 😅. Been so busy at work and finding it difficult to balance and prioritise my time.
Thanks for sharing that insight! ☺It's very reassuring and makes a ton of sense. I guess I'll need to work on overcoming my fear of falling, then I'll be able to see improvements...Hopefully I can update with a new rollerblading vlog soon. 😝
@@oheyjelly I see, I see. I've been guilty of that too haha, and it doesn't help that we're now heading into fall / winter. I'm looking forward to that vlog, this one was fun to watch!
@@Gigusx Yesss, we have rainy/monsoon seasons here too, and wet grounds just aren't that conducive for outdoor blading. Let's grab all the chances we have and rollerblade more! 😄
@@oheyjelly Amen to that! :D
I also started skating fairly recently. I think I fall 1 out of 2 times I go out,it's never fun feeling but I just laugh and enjoy the break on the floor. I can't wait till I lose that uneasy feeling of being on inline skates.
I totally get what you mean. 😄You're right, but I guess I gotta at least learn to fall safely on the ground and not end up injuring myself too badly. Everyone tells me that practising more makes this uneasy feeling less intense. So we just gotta take time, show up and practise! 🤗 Let's conquer this together!
@@oheyjelly sounds like a plan!
Omg I lovec this ! It's nice to have someone to pratice with ! I'm waiting for my Impalas to come !! Frist time sine like ... 18 years lmaooo I'm 25 ! anyway this motivated me !
Ohh, Impalas have very good-looking skates 😍 Hope you'll have fun picking up this sport again!
Just pick up rollerblading too! I wanna try rollerskating next once I master the rollerblades & maybe learn how to commute with them.
Sounds like a good plan! Don't forget road safety when that happens - always have your protective gear on! 😎
you choose a nice hobby! I've been skating for quite sometimes now switching between speed skate and fitness skate. From your video, I can suggest that once you get comfortable on the shoes itself, the first thing to fix is the pronation. Pronation will form a bad skating habit in the long run. Keep it up and have fun!
Thanks for pointing it out! Yes, I'm still struggling with pronation on my blades. Working to fix it every time i practise...it's so tough! 😮💨
@@oheyjelly if you still struggling on the pronation. It might be the frame of your skate. You can try to skate with one leg. If you can't go straight line with one leg then it's the frame. When you buy your skate it usually comes with an Allan key for you to adjust. Spend some skate session to adjust until you feel best. Worth it for the long run
thanks for sharing... got a pair of RBAD 80.. been not skating for long Stay safe Enjoy
Thanks for sharing! I got myself the Flying Eagle F3S Urban Skates last year. Happy skating!
@@oheyjelly nice. =) enjoy blading and staf safe
it's a skill
good job keep it up.
1:56" how I feel too while watching!! Jelly is so brave!!
aww thanksss. i just try my best not to fall. 🥲
Hey! What skates did you get and how much were they? :) I'm looking to learn skating now
Hi Faith! My skates are from Flying Eagle - pretty affordable and great for beginners (i feel haha).
Can't remember exactly how much i paid for them, but here's the link to the skates: oneupskates.com/products/flyingeagef3surbanskates?variant=35666196201638
@@oheyjelly ahh thank you!!
I used to rollerblade when I was younger right into my adult years. Now 38 years old and not rollerblading for about 5 or 6 years. I literally have to relearn how to rollerblade. I practice everyday for about 5 to 10 minutes just to get that rhythm again
Hello there! Yes, regular practice makes everything better! I'm sure you'll pick it up (again) very quickly since it's part of your muscle memory.
@oheyjelly rollerblading on the road is less intimidating than practicing on bricks. Bricks are sometimes uneven and slippery. The area I live in now is a complex area. The road in the complex area is a little steep and curves a lot. So practicing going down slowly
Yes! Roads are way smoother than bricks floors. Slopes and curves still freak me out when I'm on rollerblades....I panic and get overwhelmed with fear that I'll fall/crash. 😮💨@@erinkemp1004
@oheyjelly what I do is say to myself relax. If you starting to fear rollerblading and falling just tell yourself to relax. There's a saying I fear nothing but fear itself
@oheyjelly I thought of something that can help you overcome that fear. Start halfway down a curve road that's slightly steep that you don't go full speed. Practice just letting your rollerblades glide down. Practice it a few times. Once you feel a little comfortable work your way up little by little and overtime it won't be as scary. It's what I'm doing while practicing turning by making u shape to rollerblade up
Where did you get the elbow knee pad ? Thank you
Hello! I bought my elbows and knees protective gear at my local Decathlon store. It's sold as a set in different sizes - S, M, L. :)
Are you on strava? There's a community from Singapore. Good luck, have fun
Hello Kenny, I'm not on Strava. But there ARE many skating/blading communities here 😀. Thanks for the encouragement, I'll practice more 👍🏻
9:01 me a quick bite to make sure that its potato and giving it to you

Good Job! Keep it up! You need to write script for your video
Thank you! I've been working on honing my storytelling skills for my vids. :)

Hello there! Thank you! They're the Flying Eagle F3S Urban Skates. 😀

Hello there! Guilty to say the least, I've not had the time to spend time practising my rollerblading skills...Life has been a struggle to balance between work, travel and spending time with loved ones. 😮💨

Hi I like your yellow socks they are so cute just like you are to
Thank you~☺ I love all my quirky socks too.
@@oheyjelly do you wear white socks to tube socks to
@@josephgolden9703 nope. I actually dont have any white socks 😂
@@oheyjelly ok ty friend
Pray to Jesus and ask him for his protection over you as you pursue your hobby and dont give up.
Buy some crash shorts your fear of falling will go way down
Great idea!
Pray before you skate. Ask Jesus to keep you safe as you pursue your interest. Tell Jesus how much you really want to learn and ask him to protect you and prevent you from sustaining any injuries.. This works for me.
????? Like this also can religious
Inline skate*
thanks for putting ur mask on. now im 100% corona secure
A newbie without a helmet? You don't value your life - falling back is pretty common among new skaters.
Thanks for your concern. :) Will get a helmet for my next skate.
Wear a helmet!!!
Yes, it's definitely safer to wear a helmet!
