Tonight was my first time on roller skates since I was a teenager. I'm 50 now. Forgot how much fun it was.... good to see that it's picking up popularity again!
Congratulations! That is totally normal. It takes some time to get used to. Be easy on yourself and everyone starts at the beginning. Practice is progress. 💜🦋
@@HarlemSpade i disagree i've been stuck for months not being comfortable stepping around so this heleped plenty only thing i'd fix is the order of what to practice first, it helps a lot though
I’m a new learner and my teacher advised to keep my knees bent at the beginning, to prevent sliding backwards. That advise has helped me a ton and I haven’t fallen backwards since then. Hope this helps ☺️
Watch Dirty School of Skate. Deb teaches you basics, safety, how to fall. Learn the basics first. You don't want to hit your head or land on your tailbone. This gal is interesting, but learn basics 1st. Good luck.
So glad it was helpful! It really helps me when things are slowed down too! I am such a visual learner and it gives my brain a chance to register. Lol! Thank you for letting me know! 💜🦋
This was really helpful to adjust to skates after a long periods of not skating. Helpful little exercises very good for a bit of pre conditioning. #1 is great for a warm up.
@@bluered5527 - I won’t lie. I live right by an elementary school, and I’ve been having my fiancé go with me after dark so I can fumble around the parking lot. It’s getting easier. You can do it!
Hi. I'm 54 and tomorrow will be my 14th day rolling. I will try to do what's shown here in this video, there are a lot of things to try, so I've just suscribed. Thanks for the channel. I live in Lanzarote, Canary Islands.
I love these drills and your style!! I started 2 weeks ago by watching Dirty's School for her complete beginner tips. I took an in person skate class to get my basic glide and balance (knees bent!). Now I'm following up with these drills to push me a bit at home and I'm already way more comfortable on my skates! Thank you beautiful!
Just came back from skating a few hours ago tried a few of the drills I was having way more fun this time and started to skate back wards with the bubbles slowly thought and got the forward motion going and so subbed on both my channels thank you for video I feel I got better today even tho I fell about 3 times
I absolutely love to hear this. Makes me so happy that it was fun. That’s what it is all about. And falling is completely normal. I fall and even the best fall. Thank you for commenting and for your support. 💜🦋
Thank you for these!!! I got my skates a couple weeks ago; went to the rink today. I’m mostly focused on just being comfortable falling & in general skating & using the right posture (hips/knees down in a squat, core tight, face forward). But I definitely need drills for more familiarity and stability in my skates!
I’ve just started learning roller skating and I’m going to try a few of these! I used to be an ice skater and it’s a little bit different but balancing is pretty much the same! Ty for the drills.
I just started skating again and was like "I wonder if there is drills i can do in my tiny room" and literally as i was about to look it up, this video is suggested to me lol everythings on the internet. Thank you for this, its super helpful.
im on day 5 and still need to practice. i kinda want to get each drill down before moving on the next. i was going to ask how long i should stay on each drill but i saw this comment about two days…so ill just keep practicing !
@@powellkatie123 There is no set time for each drill. Everyone has different experience, backgrounds, and bodies so just progressing at a pace that keeps you safe and works best is what matters! My personal goal is just to be better than I was the day, week, or month before. And it’s all about enjoying the journey. You’re doing amazing! 💓🦋
I just got skates today. I can move in them because I’ve been rollerblading forever. Thanks for these drills:) I’d like to skate on maybe a tennis court when I get better.
Super fab. I haven't skated since age 12/13 and will be starting in my apt. with wood flooring and a brick wall! These are good drills. Can't wait for my Moxi Jungles to arrive! Thank you for this hot tutorial on how to jump back into skating in a small space. Woo hoooo!
@@Tani.Coy.RollerMama Feel free to check out my new TH-cam channel where I shall review my new Moxi Jungles, when they get here!! Right now, I just have art stuff videos and my mourning doves at the window sill. The MOMENT my Jungle skates get here, I shall implement your small space tips in my living room until I can confidently roll outside : )
@@Tani.Coy.RollerMama You are so sweet!!! I am counting the minutes until they arrive via UPS. Hopefully Friday. Will be a primitive video as I only have my tiny Chromebook : ) Hot TIP: Skate Ratz in Colorado has size 7 Lolly in Taffy purple in stock today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I already ordered the Jungles from Derby Warehouse so chilled with what I have else would have POUNCED like a lioness on those Lollies.
I’m about to clear my basement and get to practicing! Can’t wait! I wanna take lessons but I’m not a total beginner and think this will help with my balance and learning to step over move 🙃🙃🙃🙃
Wow 🤩, thank you so much for sharing these skills 💖💖💖👏! I always dreamed of being able to dance on my skates and even I spent many hours in the roller disco I never had the possibility to learn it. And I really can train that in my little kitchen without being dependent on the bad weather here or being disturbed by anyone, that is awesome 🤩, thank you so much 💝!
Thank you this was so helpful and exactly what I needed to able to practice in my living room. And now I can do an admittedly sloppy barrel roll but it’s the first skate dance move I’ve been able to do!
Thank you for making this video. Sad to say, as a person who learned to forward skate as a kid, I never learned how to backward skate except a little bit on my own at the rink. I appreciate these exercises you do in this video. I will try them when I go back to the rink. The other trouble I believe I have maybe also because I have speed skates-which I love, but they do not have a heel on them. Wondering if this is adding to my loss of control when I attempt to backward skate. Thanks again!
Thank you! Backwards skating definitely takes some time to get used to! Bending knees will help with balancing correctly in order to remain upright. I know it helped me a lot with roller blades. 💜
@@Tani.Coy.RollerMama It sure is. I used to rollerskate in my teens and experienced no problems at all. I raced with the boys and although I never won, I gave them a run for their money. Now some 50 years later it's very different. Rollerskating is definitely not like riding a bike.
Hello everyone, please let me know if you want clarification on any of these moves. And also is the lighting off? I thought my face looked a little funky. 🤣🤷🏻♀️
@@missdoobs Oh goodness, thank you! Looked a little off on my computer but there was no way I was going to redo the whole thing. Lol! Thanks for letting me know.

@@Tani.Coy.RollerMama You bet it's helping. I've been battling my head off and watched numerous videos and none of them provided me with any progress. I was about to give up when I came across your work, tried it, and immediately felt encouraged. What would I like a tutorial on ... let me see, stopping (forward and backward) and safe falling. I have knee, wrist, and elbow pads, but my biggest fear is to fall on my butt or one of my hips and breaking one. A sprained wrist or bloody knee heals quickly, but hurting a hip can have serious repercussions. Any tips on that? BTW I found your other videos, you're really great.
@@connymanero4649 Thank you again! Here is a video on a few stops that help me. th-cam.com/video/x38XqRJcDC8/w-d-xo.html It may not cover everything for you but hopefully it’s a start.

For a total begginer, do you suggest having the wheels a bit tightened to not roll so much maybe? For 78A wheels for example and trying these moves outdoors on a tennis court?
Thank you! These are from Rollerstuff on Etsy. And yes I took my Toe Stops out and put in Jam Plugs. It helps to have them this way when trying to do more rhythm and jam style skating. 💜🦋
I just got skates for the first time and when I try turning, leaning or the sticky skate I can’t do it, my skates only want to go straight. I can only turn if I lift them off the ground otherwise they feel kinda sticky and like grinds on the floor. It’s so frustrating.
hey! have you tried loosening your trucks just a tad bit? that should solve your issue! usually when you put on your skates fresh out of the box, they are like “factory” tight lol. loosening the trucks just a teeny bit so the truck/wheel bearing wiggles just the smallest amount should do the trick. hope this helps! :)
Loosening trucks and your wheels can help a ton. New skates usually need a little adjusting at first. It can also depend on what type of skates you have. 💜
I have a question! Does truck tightness affect your ability to do bubbles? Sorry if this is a dumb question. Total and complete noob here. But subbed! I love your explanation of things!
Thank you for subbing! Not a dumb question at all. Actually a really good one. Yes, when they are loosened it can help with turning. But the more tight they are the more stable. So you can start gradually loosening until you find that sweet spot that works for you. And over time adjust to fit your advancements. Also bubbles has a lot to do with muscle activation and mind muscle connection. They can be really tricky at first and that is totally normal. 💜🦋
Which wheels do you use for slippery tiles? I have Moxi Skates Rainbow Riders stock wheels. I notice that it's very slippery on tiles and even on concrete road. I'm currently practicing on rubberized jogging track and it's pretty much working
Radar came out with some new outdoor dance wheels that have good grip called “Crush” (small wheels!), they would be good as long as you are on smooth surfaces. I also like Radar Energy 57’s but they don’t have as much grip.
It does depend on the size of your toe stopper for some of the moves. I found mine got in the way but when you are beginning a toe stopper is helpful. 💜
Congratulations! That’s so exciting. I would check your wheels. Make sure they spin. And then if you have never been on skates start out very slow and work on the ability to just stand upright. Keep knees bent and wear protective gear and helmet. 💓🦋
There are some things you can practice on carpet. Getting used to being in skates and higher up is helpful. Depending on how thick your carpet is though your wheels will have trouble rolling. 💜
I have to say I’m really sad cause I’m almost 28 and never skated before, Im in a very small space and every time I try to learn I’m almost falling backwards into a sharp edge 😂
You are not alone! So many of us are starting later in our lives. Please be careful and a helmet and protective gear is a great idea. I hope you can get to a bigger space soon. 💜🦋
I am making 44 on Friday. I was never skating before, I went out a few times and every time it was a failure. But I was practising every time some walking. Yesterday was may..... 5th or 6th time and...... I DID Bubbles! And I was even skating a little bit! Of course, I felt a few times. Don't give up, just put your wrist and elbow protection :-) If I succeed, everyone can do this :-)
Ex-figure skater switching. I'm having a really difficult time. I realize having figure skated is not helping me at all. I can't do the simplest thing like moving. I can't get the hang of pushing off. My foot just rolls under me, not to the side. I've adjusted the trucks to see if I could slalom to get momentum. No luck, maybe loosen them another notch. Geez, ice skating is a snap compared to this. I'm amazed at the artistic videos of competitive skaters. It's so much more difficult on quads.
I grew up competitively figure skating on ice and I know what you mean. I find some experience helps and some things have to be relearned. It’s possible your wheels are not giving you enough grip and that can really make a difference. 💜
@@Tani.Coy.RollerMama I don't know a thing about wheels, except to tighten or loosen. They came with the Riedells. They were a mistake. I should have bought Edea's instead except I thought leather would be best. I've had trouble with Riedell in the past. I'll try bubbles to see if I can get rolling. I'll loosen the trucks again. The wheels are 60.325mm (2 3/8") diameter. Hardness? I requested an indoor wheel.
Hope this isn't a silly question, but could this be effective/helpful for inline skates too? There's a heat wave this week where I am, and I'm not too keen on heading outside right now to skate ha
Not a silly question at all. You can definitely do some movements on inlines. Probably not all but you could always make your own adjustments. Any type of strength training is helpful too and I have a few of those videos as well. We are having heatwaves and hazardous air quality due to smoke where I’m at so I can totally relate to being stuck inside. 💜
How do your skates not make any noise when turning? I think I’m doing something wrong, I practice on my driveway with gummy outdoor wheels so that must be why. Anything I can do to prevent the annoying sound?
Wheels absolutely make a difference! But mine do still make noise. Overtime you get better at moving them with less drag but for me it isn’t completely avoidable. At least not yet anyway. Lol! 💜
I have personally loosened my trucks to what’s comfortable for me and it can definitely make a difference! It takes a little bit of trial and error to find that sweet spot but you can just loosen them a little bit at a time until it feels good and always retighten if you don’t feel secure or too wobbly. 💜
I do not in this video but I have a set of Smith Scabs that I did a little review on. I will wear protective gear when I know I am trying something new or out of my comfort zone. 💜🦋 th-cam.com/video/-4h4rW6pGnc/w-d-xo.html

44 and started last month...having so much fun

So off topic but I’m in love with butterflies where can I find those pillows
Aren't they beautiful! There are even more colors too. Here is where you can find them.

Thank u so much
For a total begginer, do you suggest having the wheels a bit tightened to not roll so much maybe?
For 78A wheels for example and trying these moves outdoors on a tennis court?
well, that's better than actual highheels.
Lol! 💜
Great video! Love those toe guards! Where did you get those?!I notice you don’t have toe stops, though. Wow!
Thank you! These are from Rollerstuff on Etsy. And yes I took my Toe Stops out and put in Jam Plugs. It helps to have them this way when trying to do more rhythm and jam style skating. 💜🦋
@@Tani.Coy.RollerMama thanks!
Thanks !! I will try for sure. :)
You are so welcome. I hope the video helps. 💜🦋
Very beautiful lady and very helpful instruction demonstration
I just got skates for the first time and when I try turning, leaning or the sticky skate I can’t do it, my skates only want to go straight. I can only turn if I lift them off the ground otherwise they feel kinda sticky and like grinds on the floor. It’s so frustrating.
hey! have you tried loosening your trucks just a tad bit? that should solve your issue! usually when you put on your skates fresh out of the box, they are like “factory” tight lol. loosening the trucks just a teeny bit so the truck/wheel bearing wiggles just the smallest amount should do the trick. hope this helps! :)
Loosening trucks and your wheels can help a ton. New skates usually need a little adjusting at first. It can also depend on what type of skates you have. 💜
To do the crossover do your stoppers have to be smaller than regular stoppers
As long as they don’t stick out too much you should be able to do the crossovers with toe stops. 💜
@@Tani.Coy.RollerMama ty❤️
👍😍
Thank you!💜🦋
What is durometer of your wheels?
I have a question! Does truck tightness affect your ability to do bubbles? Sorry if this is a dumb question. Total and complete noob here. But subbed! I love your explanation of things!
Thank you for subbing! Not a dumb question at all. Actually a really good one. Yes, when they are loosened it can help with turning. But the more tight they are the more stable. So you can start gradually loosening until you find that sweet spot that works for you. And over time adjust to fit your advancements. Also bubbles has a lot to do with muscle activation and mind muscle connection. They can be really tricky at first and that is totally normal. 💜🦋
@@Tani.Coy.RollerMama thank you so much for your reply! This helps so much!
Do you have any more drills I could practice???
I’m actually going to be uploading more drills soon! Until then I have a LOT on my Instagram instagram.com/tani.coy.rollermama/ 💓🦋
Which wheels do you use for slippery tiles? I have Moxi Skates Rainbow Riders stock wheels. I notice that it's very slippery on tiles and even on concrete road. I'm currently practicing on rubberized jogging track and it's pretty much working
Radar came out with some new outdoor dance wheels that have good grip called “Crush” (small wheels!), they would be good as long as you are on smooth surfaces. I also like Radar Energy 57’s but they don’t have as much grip.
Can you do this with toe stoppers?
It does depend on the size of your toe stopper for some of the moves. I found mine got in the way but when you are beginning a toe stopper is helpful. 💜
Do you need to loosen the anything before doing any of these skills I just got skates today
Congratulations! That’s so exciting. I would check your wheels. Make sure they spin. And then if you have never been on skates start out very slow and work on the ability to just stand upright. Keep knees bent and wear protective gear and helmet. 💓🦋
I live in an apartment. Can I practice on carpeting?
There are some things you can practice on carpet. Getting used to being in skates and higher up is helpful. Depending on how thick your carpet is though your wheels will have trouble rolling. 💜
I have to say I’m really sad cause I’m almost 28 and never skated before, Im in a very small space and every time I try to learn I’m almost falling backwards into a sharp edge 😂
You are not alone! So many of us are starting later in our lives. Please be careful and a helmet and protective gear is a great idea. I hope you can get to a bigger space soon. 💜🦋
can you use basement, outside of building or a park. all i got so far .
🗣Keep your knees bend, don't look down.
I am making 44 on Friday. I was never skating before, I went out a few times and every time it was a failure. But I was practising every time some walking. Yesterday was may..... 5th or 6th time and...... I DID Bubbles! And I was even skating a little bit! Of course, I felt a few times. Don't give up, just put your wrist and elbow protection :-) If I succeed, everyone can do this :-)
I hope you didn't give up! I'm 29 and just starting :)
Ex-figure skater switching. I'm having a really difficult time. I realize having figure skated is not helping me at all. I can't do the simplest thing like moving. I can't get the hang of pushing off. My foot just rolls under me, not to the side. I've adjusted the trucks to see if I could slalom to get momentum. No luck, maybe loosen them another notch. Geez, ice skating is a snap compared to this. I'm amazed at the artistic videos of competitive skaters. It's so much more difficult on quads.
I grew up competitively figure skating on ice and I know what you mean. I find some experience helps and some things have to be relearned. It’s possible your wheels are not giving you enough grip and that can really make a difference. 💜
@@Tani.Coy.RollerMama I don't know a thing about wheels, except to tighten or loosen. They came with the Riedells. They were a mistake. I should have bought Edea's instead except I thought leather would be best. I've had trouble with Riedell in the past. I'll try bubbles to see if I can get rolling. I'll loosen the trucks again. The wheels are 60.325mm (2 3/8") diameter. Hardness? I requested an indoor wheel.
Cross overs and manuals I feel like I roll backwards and can’t actually practice
You’ll get it. Might have to do with weight placement and muscle contraction. 💜
Hope this isn't a silly question, but could this be effective/helpful for inline skates too? There's a heat wave this week where I am, and I'm not too keen on heading outside right now to skate ha
Not a silly question at all. You can definitely do some movements on inlines. Probably not all but you could always make your own adjustments. Any type of strength training is helpful too and I have a few of those videos as well. We are having heatwaves and hazardous air quality due to smoke where I’m at so I can totally relate to being stuck inside. 💜
How do your skates not make any noise when turning? I think I’m doing something wrong, I practice on my driveway with gummy outdoor wheels so that must be why. Anything I can do to prevent the annoying sound?
Wheels absolutely make a difference! But mine do still make noise. Overtime you get better at moving them with less drag but for me it isn’t completely avoidable. At least not yet anyway. Lol! 💜
Are your trucks loosened?
Yes they are. But I have no idea to what degree. Lol! 💜
Do you keep your trucks loose or tight?
Can you say if this make a difference ?
I have personally loosened my trucks to what’s comfortable for me and it can definitely make a difference! It takes a little bit of trial and error to find that sweet spot but you can just loosen them a little bit at a time until it feels good and always retighten if you don’t feel secure or too wobbly. 💜
@@Tani.Coy.RollerMama thank you so much
Your video helps a lot 🖤
Do you have on knee pads?. If so what brand?
I do not in this video but I have a set of Smith Scabs that I did a little review on. I will wear protective gear when I know I am trying something new or out of my comfort zone. 💜🦋

Wait did the wheels switch mid-video haha
Lolol! Probably. I have to go back and watch but I did switch my wheels recently and sounds like something I would do.
