I have watched so many Beginner Skating videos to try to help me skate (I'm an absolute newbie) and while they have pretty great tips your videos have definitely been the most helpful in terms of explaining things in greater detail. I can't wait to try these tips on the streets!
Oh wow! Thank you. I try to explain where the weight goes etc as it’s often hard to see it just from looking at my feet. Good luck on your skating journey. Have fun and happy rolling 🛼
The same here! Just got my skates and I've watched few channels, this I liked the most lol. Already tried it in the corridor, hope this week I'll go out for the first time 🤭
I love how you give info from before you've even started skating (how to lace up etc.) stuff I hadn't even thought about, thanks! strangely enough I got moving forward real quick and surprisingly easy. stopping however is still a struggle also standing still without rolling off... PS love what you've don't with your channel name hehe
Thank you for your lovely comment x. Stopping and standing are definitely tricky. I have a new video about the fundamentals which may help you with stopping. Stopping requires you to balance more on one foot, that video covers that. I also have a stopping video if you’d like to try that too. Keep safe ⛑ and happy rolling 🛼
I’m going roller skating for the first time today with my friends, thank you so much for this video! I feel a lot better about trying it out for the first time, especially with the balancing and getting up and started part
I am so excited watching your videos. I've never skated before. I'm 25. I might break bones that'd never heal 😂😸 but I so wanna skateee. Thanks a tonne for making lovely videos
You are so much fun in your explanation of things. Katie you are so beautiful. Your personality motivates me. I think too it’s your exquisite accent. You are amazing. Thank you so much. On skates after a 30 year break!
These help me so much! I’ve just started skating and I didn’t really know how to start. You helped me so much with standing and going forward with them!
I'm 51 and I got some new skates after not skating since I was about 14. I don't know why but I thought I'd be better than I was. I was clinging on to a fence for about 20 mins then got the hang of it. Nowhere near ready for the parks though!
I’m a newbie skater at 40 - started indoor classes in London & this video is fab, it’s exactly what we were taught in the first class so it’s lovely to refer to things like this to practice in the park alone. I’m just discovering your content & loving it, so helpful for my skating journey 😊 I subbed 💖
I loveeee riding roller skates but there is one problem, I am horrible at riding them and i keep falling down and hurting myself, i just wish i didn’t fall so much. I tried wearing a lot of safety equipment like you are wearing and it helped not getting hurt, thanks for showing me and also I love how you showed me the trick of roller skating, i thought i would never learn, but thanks to you, i did. Today was my first day riding them and, i learned how to balance and ride a bit, even though i get a bit scared if i go too fast. Thanks again, helped a lot. :)
That’s fantastic! Sounds like you’re doing really well! Stick with it, try and practice often. Focus on unlocking the fundamental skills and you’ll be rolling around with ease really soon xx ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💕🛼
That’s amazing!!! I’d recommend something similar to the rookie artistics. They have a metal alloy plate and an adjustable toe stop. They are a good price for the specs. amzn.to/3NKuUtu
The nice thing about losing balance when moving forward and grabbing your ankles is that if you DO still fall, your knees will be closer to the ground already and you knee pads will pick up the brunt of the fall. WAY less dangerous than windmilling your arms and falling backwards or on your hip!
I love your videos! it's both instructional and encouraging! just got my new skates last Saturday and I am dreaming of the day when I can roll with confidence! definitely going to watch your videos to learn properly!
Today I have started my roller skating journey and I am so excited to make some progress, your videos are a huge help !! Thank you so much for creating this channel :)
I just tried roller skating for the first time today thinking „I used to figure skate on ice, I don‘t need safety gear.“ Now I sit here with a bloody knee and ordered my safety pads like the arrogant fool that I am.^^ The hubris^^
New quad skater here. I’m not new to skating cause I did in-line skate when I was younger but I am new to quad skating. I fell in them when I was younger and have always been kind of scared to try them again, haha. I found I wasn’t to scared with them skating around inside but taking my Boardwalks outside with the stock wheels had me terrified😅😅. After even more research I did invest in some Atom Pulse outdoor wheels that will hopefully help curb the fear cause I’m loving skating it so far.
Have lots of fun. If you’re holding them up. Walking backwards in front of them, you can hold hands if you need to. Then when they get a bit better go behind and hold near or under the arms / rib cage area then you can stop those nasty backward falls.
You got this, make sure to keep your feet at an angle, don’t think of walking as that way the feet are straight. Make a t with your feet as you push or a v like in the video xx have fun! 🛼⭐️💕
Hi @Skatie! Love your videos so much! Do you have by any chance a video for beginners that shows what steps or what to learn first when we start skating so I can find related videos for each step? Like should I learn to go forward first, then stop or go backwards, then turn, etc? Thank you so much for your help! :)
I got skates today I’m on my way home ! I have had skates before the last time I used them was crazy 🤪 I was 7 I was doing to well I was spinning then I got dizzy and slipped 😅 but it’s all part of learning!!🎉
Thank you so much. I’m so glad your confidence is growing. I’d say safety gear. Padded shorts are amazing. They really help take the fear out of those backward falls.
It’s all in the pushing and I have a drills video to help you work up to strides from bubbles. I’ll link below for you. th-cam.com/video/dPJaduVV6Us/w-d-xo.html

Hi, I just want to say I have been interested in taking up skating for ages but with everything i've been procrastinating . I could of started it in lockdown, It would of been an ideal time to buy some skates and get out there. ( i didn't ) I have never ever skated apart from the odd unbalanced ice skating trip lol. Thing is am i too old? I am 42 so would i look like a bit of a wally skating around? I mean i was thinking that in my 30s and hence why i still havent started lol
I'd say no. I'm 50 and am interested in rollerskating. I've last skated 40 years ago on two occasions. The inspiration for me is that I saw a you tube video of a 70 year old man in America rollerblading
@@lorrainecotton5414 Haha we both need to get out there. I am going to research some skates. Luckily Ill have my daughter to start with me :) as we both havent done it.
@@Viperuk80 what skates do you plan to buy? I hear that the Moxie range is good, but they're real pricey. I bought a rio roller; GB Kingdom and a Candi Girl.
@@lorrainecotton5414 I don't realy know too much about them yet but probally Rio as my first pair. I still need to understand how to size them up too. As im worried it will be all wrong.. For example when I go ice skating with my daughter ive been putting on size 9 as im a size 9 shoe and i was always thinking its too big and got ankle and leg ache but then I learned that for ice skates you need to be 1 - 1.5 size down from your show size for ice skates. I am also in UK london.. typically there are no skate shops near me that i know of
Hello. Thanks for all your videos, they have been great in helping me get started. I'm a total beginner. I'm trying to learn the bubble. I have found that I get my forward momentum on the 'outward' push rather than the inward 'pull'. Any advice on what I might be doing wrong? Thanks!
Thanks for getting back to me, I have watched that video. I have been binge watching your content while waiting for my skates to arrive. But in the video you mentioned that the forward momentum comes from the 'pull in'. That's not where I'm getting mine. I keep needing to reset to v to "start again " unless there is a slight downward slope. I get the in and out foot movement on the slopes. But if I'm trying to go up the slight slope I get nothing unless I'm just repeating the push out. Is it just a muscle strength thing? Thanks again!
@@fistofdorn85 do you have movement in your trucks? If you stand on your skates and flex the weight between the big and little toe there should be movement of the wheels towards each other. If you’re not getting this flex you may need to loosen the trucks a little. You need movement in your trucks to get the inside edges (weight on the big toe) to create the momentum.
@@Skatie thanks again for getting back to me. Should I be loosening the front and back trucks equally? Or do I need to experiment to find what feels right for me? The front ones have more flex than the back
are rollerskates supposed to make a consistent noise while skating outside? Mine are so loud its kind of embarrassing. They're not loud when I spin the wheels, just while skating. And I put in bones bearings a little while ago.
Hello Skatie! I find your videos really helpful as I am learnig how to roll skate and improving my english as well! But I have a doubt: i have “heels” boots for indoors like yours but do you think that using the “sneakers” rolling skates for outdoors would be easier???
If you swap to flat boots from a heel you’ll feel like you’re more likely to fall backwards it’s because the heel pushes your weight towards the ball of the foot which helps with balance. I’m not sure flatter boot are easier outside but absolutely give it a try it may work better for you. If you go with the flat boot you’ll need to really keep low and bend bend bend to keep your balance. Have fun! 🛼💕⭐️
The best way to measure for skates is to draw around your foot onto a piece of paper and measure the length. Then you can compare it to the manufacturers size chart. Skate size often differs from street shoe size and it differs from brand to brand. The best thing to do if you can is try them on at a skate shop. Then if your correct size is a size up you’ll know it fits.
Hi. Depending on your budget there are a few options Candi girl Carlins, Chaya Melrose elite, I have a video and a shop of recommendations on my website www.skatie.Co.Uk th-cam.com/video/Z5cSnbNfuYo/w-d-xo.html
You’ll need to adjust the nut that sits in front of the wheel. Just loosen it a little at a time until they roll more freely. Don’t loosen them so much that the wheel starts to move up and down the axel.
Today's the day. Initially I just stepped around trying to get centered. When I tried to push off (to the side) a wee bit to roll I couldn't do it. My skate just wanted to roll under. I'm so used to doing the side push. I can see figure skating is not going to be my friend on quads. I couldn't slalom because my trucks needed to be loosened. When I tried to adjust them after I'm in an absolute quandary. The truck bolts (kingpins) are not even when I counted the threads. Oy vey. Well experimenting with them will be for the next time. I was hoping to do better.
If your having trouble try using a shopping cart. Seriously! It helped me. You could hold on to the shopping cart it will help you learn how to push and balance.
It’s so common for skaters to complain of a sore back. It could be that your arching you back rather than hinging from the hips. Try to keep your back straight and the knees over your toes.

I tried it i almost got fall off the sewer luckliy someone stopped i need more training!
Take your time. You’ll get there.
🎉thank you🎉

May i know which wheels are used in this video?
They’re Rio Rollers wheels, very inexpensive.
What pads do you recommend?
The ones I wear are quite slim. I definitely recommend something a little bulky like the 187’s
@@Skatie great because I just ordered them!
Today's the day. Initially I just stepped around trying to get centered. When I tried to push off (to the side) a wee bit to roll I couldn't do it. My skate just wanted to roll under. I'm so used to doing the side push. I can see figure skating is not going to be my friend on quads. I couldn't slalom because my trucks needed to be loosened. When I tried to adjust them after I'm in an absolute quandary. The truck bolts (kingpins) are not even when I counted the threads. Oy vey. Well experimenting with them will be for the next time. I was hoping to do better.
Be patient with yourself there’s so much to get right with equipment and posture etc. take your time. X
If your having trouble try using a shopping cart. Seriously! It helped me. You could hold on to the shopping cart it will help you learn how to push and balance.

Your wheels won’t tighten if there’s a spacer between the two wheel bearings!

can i skate on ice?!
You can do whatever you set your mind to
Couldn’t lift my feet until I made them tight, thank you 🤭
The problem is I wobble to much so I lean forward with my knees bent 2 help but then my back hurts
It’s so common for skaters to complain of a sore back. It could be that your arching you back rather than hinging from the hips. Try to keep your back straight and the knees over your toes.
I’m rolling
Yay!! Well done! 🛼😎🤩🤩
