omg thank you so much for the support this means a ton to me! sometimes i feel like the info i have is worthless but comments like this remind me i DO have good things to share 💕
Ahhh yes this makes so much sense! I always wondered exactly what that meant when they said illusion this or illusion that. Makes so much sense thanks for sharing 💕
Omg I really needed this!! I love speed skating but I'm scared I'm gonna run in to something or someone😂thank you for these videos! They've been really helping me out!!!
idk why but i have refused to do the toe drag or the t-stop since when i started LOL! i like the plow stop and the one you teach in this video the most
Wow this is a GREAT tutorial!!! I’ve always wondered how people do the swivel move. This was broken down very well and super seats to understand, thank you!!
I started off my skate lifestyle doing lots of downhill and speed skating (San Francisco). And I've also acquired my worst fall ever and some real good road rash. My only regret that day was not using my knee pads. I had practiced bailing at high speeds in a controlled situation but froze up on the real thing. Hit the ledge, superman flew, and road rash all of my forearms, thigh, and back 😭 took 2 months for the open wound to heal and 4-6 months for the nerve damage to heal 😅😅😅 didn't touch a hill for 4 months, have never touched the hill I fell on even though I live on it 😂
ive watched all your tutorials and i just got my first pair of skates yesterday! i figured i would be an expert already, but might need another day or two.....love you :')
Just the smallest things like practicing on the grass! Always so informative and a lot of fun to watch and learn with you! Thank you for sharing your tips😊
Can you do a video on tips and tricks on how to protect or help your toes from pain, blisters etc that you can experience with skating and ways to avoid it.
I could have used this when I was going full speed down a small hill towards my boyfriend a few months back 😂😂 he caught me so we good but holy shit it was terrifying, haven’t tackled a hill since. 😂😂😂 Thankyou for this tutorial 🙏🏽🙏🏽🌈💖
Omg thank you so much!!!! I literally just injured my knee sooo bad and I’m on crutches because I panicked when going fast and couldn’t stop correctly. Can’t wait to get back on skates with this knowledge!
It also looks really fricking cool! My first pair of skates won't be here for another at least two months but I'm binging these kinds of videos and practicing on my socks on the floor and it's a lot of fun allready haha
I wondered what it would be like to skate in Galveston. I bet that sidewalk is quite bumpy. What a nice day you had to hit the coast! Stopping has always been my skating crux. I have skated for literally DECADES and I still hesitate with that decision, at times. At least at the rink you can just slam into the sometimes carpeted wall. LOL. Thanks for the tips!
Omg i found your channel a day or two ago and just finished watching ALL of your instructional videos even from 4 years back and the one video i've watched multiple times was your video where you showed how to stop fast from years back. Seeing you post this today made me so happy bc as much as i loved your old videos, it's so nice to see an updated version! Also, now i dont have to scroll so far back to find it! :)
I love you so much I just wanted to let you know I have been rollerskating for a year and watching your videos really give me confidence and you’re the reason why I started rollerskating❤️❤️❤️
Greetings from Costa Rica, my wife and I we decide to start skating again since 30 years ago, I was 12 years my last time and Im starting from nothing again, Im a musician and I compouse retrowave music and is perfect to skate, I love mix my music whit skating and your videos are super fun and helpful and of course motivating, please never stop to making videos and tutorials, we are happy to see your tutorials, and we hope you come to Costa Rica soon, Morgan was here 1 mont ago and was amazing to meet her and we want you here too, we are planning some music festivals in roller skates, maybe next year you can come to one of our festivals, sending hughes, thankyou.
Oh my god everytime you post a new video I get sooo happy :D you’re actually one of my favourite yotuubers!!!! Your tutorials are the best!! I started skating in September and I’ve progressed a lot from your tutorials!!!! :D
Thank you so much for this video. I can turnaround toe stop at slow/medium speed but I really need to nail this for high speed as I have many steep hills around me. At the moment I'm having to be careful to turnaround before the hill starts to take me!
Nice video. We'll have to start practicing that. it's crazy though how the most important thing to learn (how to stop fast in case of danger) is also one of the hardest.
This seems to be the quickest, easiest, and most effective way to use the toe stops, especially in an emergency. I normally roller blade without a heel brake, and doing indoor rollerskating for the hot summer. So first time using toe stops. Thanks for sharing this tutorial! 8^)
Quite a helpful explanation! I haven’t even finished watching the video(yet!). I think this will be useful in more ways than one! Thank you. I’m excited to apply this to my practice. I once kept my balance by an unintentional jump and landed to avoid falling when I went over a speed bump fast. I like the space pants!
Love this video, 2 questions, 1. what is a good pair of beginner skates to get, I've only skated once at a skate party 2. Where do you teach your class?
When you just found Indy a couple days ago and have been obsessively watching her, but then you find out about her closeted racism and you just....... I’ve never skated before and I’m looking to get started because it’s so important to the Black community and seeing all these videos made me feel so included and watching all these different influencers made me feel like there was already a place for me in the skating community because there are so many people who look like me unlike the academic circles that I come from just to feel like I was completely bamboozled. I just feel tricked by people who act like they are so accepting and encouraging but then lack respect for BIPOC. How am I supposed to feel welcome and join a community when some of the biggest influencers in said community don’t have respect for the color of my skin. I still plan on watching her videos and am not gonna cancel her. I just hope she does better and that she is in a better place than she was a few months ago so that she can continue educating to the extent that she has been for years.
You shouldn't judge anyone...you don't know where they are in life, how they've been hurt and how they can change their opinions and feelings. Indy has featured beautiful women of all colors, sizes and personalities on her channel over the years and doesn't deserve to be labeled by anyone, especially people who don't even know her personally.
i completely agree. i’m so sorry this happened to you and i hope that you can find your own skating community that’s really truly accepting and just genuinely good. it does feel super yucky :/ i came back to look at her channel to see if she’d uploaded since the “apology” video and i feel like there just wasn’t enough of a real apology for me to move on from it. i used to love indy and it’s really awful and it feels like a betrayal in a way. she needs to get her head on straight because black women are the true founders of the skating community.. she needs to know her place in that.
@@sarames9256 it is a few months old. I would recommend checking into it, just search, but then also realizing that it was a few months ago since it all happened, so don’t jump on her too hard for it. I’m not looking to start anything, just wanted to share my experience. 😕
seen lots of video but never seen the rope move and i stop in emergency backward with the stoper i do it to save other lot in the rink great teaching thank you thum up for you
Well I didn't have to actually touch the concrete with my knee. However I was in my so called rollerskates derby boots and was doing my program that got me a gold medal on ice. I complete the two foot turn when I suddenly hit a down slope, didn't see it coming. I remembered this advice and dropped low to my toe stop. I think this saved my life thanks.
To learn 'how to stop fast when you're skating fast' is on my to do list for next spring [This is actually the exact phrase that I wrote in the search window:)] Btw, Indy, what are these white things between the front and back wheels of your roller skates? I'm just curious:)
Hello! I am a 1st timer on roller skating , I’ve seen many videos of yours and was wondering what is a good skate for me that I have a wide foot , my price range is between 100-200$
Loved this video, helped me remind lots of things, but I couldn’t stops wondering at the last part, is that a 360 camera??? Wanna knoow loved the last part so much!
Are you mostly in Galveston? I'm from Dallas and just found your videos. They're so helpful for getting back into skating. I used to do it alot when I was younger and just got my new skates 🥰
I’m planning on going to Coney Island by myself next month. Because I’m 12, it took a LOT of convincing my mom. Luckily it only took her two days to make up her mind. The deal is that my worker will take me there first so I known how to get there myself and then I can go back by myself. I’m going to practice my roller skating at a skate park before I can go so I can get used to it. I’m excited. This is the farthest from home I’ve ever gone by myself. I have a plan of what I’m going to do: I’m gonna ride around, go grab some food, maybe go on some rides(if they are open) and when it starts getting dark, I’ll Uber myself home.
Wooohoo, finally someone made a video how to stop, when you are skating fast and downhill. The knee advice.. so simple, but so needed.
Yeeee it’s something I wish I could tell every new skater just in case 🤣
me who hasn't been skating for months because of snow: *hmm, yes, I should try this rn*
me too, I can't wait for the melt :)
Happy indoor skating wherever and whenever can :)
LOL yeah i just got back to skating like last week, rip me
Same. Just hit 50° here and I can't wait to pull my skates out tomorrow
Same
this comment hits home
I was scared of going fast on roller skates,but this advice changed the fear to happiness😀😀😀😀😀💖💖💖💖
Sameee
What type of skates did you get it because idk what skates to get D:
@@nicollegutierrezsaettone3145 impala is a good brand!
I'm glad this brought you happiness, lord knows I'm still scared to go fast bahaha
Yessss this is what I LOVE to hear 😭
I'm glad to see you doing tutorials again. You've always been such a great teacher. I get a lot out of your in-depth explanations.
omg thank you so much for the support this means a ton to me! sometimes i feel like the info i have is worthless but comments like this remind me i DO have good things to share 💕
The little switch of leading foot just before you turn 180 is called an “illusion” in the rollerblading world!
Ahhh yes this makes so much sense! I always wondered exactly what that meant when they said illusion this or illusion that. Makes so much sense thanks for sharing 💕
Omg I really needed this!! I love speed skating but I'm scared I'm gonna run in to something or someone😂thank you for these videos! They've been really helping me out!!!
Same
I don't know how to stop so I always crash into the fence from the skatepark 😅
Yeee skaters need to know about that E BRAKE! 🤣
@@INDYJAMMAJONES yeaa exactly!!
Love that Indy edited the video to explain the leading leg in more detail (cause i was confused) such a great teacher! ty!
idk why but i have refused to do the toe drag or the t-stop since when i started LOL! i like the plow stop and the one you teach in this video the most
Same! The T-Stop makes me fall backwards, and the toe drag makes me feel like I’m going to fall into a split
The toe drag is way too much on my ankle which is why I can't do it 😫
I rely entirely on the toe drag. It's horrible.
t-stops make me feel like my knees are going to pop out and the feeling of the wheels dragging is gross to me lol
I’m going to start skating soon, but I’m afraid of literally every physical activity that I involves wheels
take baby steps out of your comfort zone. don't push yourself hard right off the bat cause then you'll get hurt and not want to skate more
I love that you’re still out there doing your thing and bringing the joy of skating to the masses. Keep shining, Indy.
Wow this is a GREAT tutorial!!! I’ve always wondered how people do the swivel move. This was broken down very well and super seats to understand, thank you!!
Please tell me at the end of your video, what camera do you use? Thank you 🙏🏻
My teacher said we need to do a biography on are idol and I did u x
How sweet!
OMG WHAT?! 😭
I skated my new quads last night, and I'm in love! Thanks for being an inspiration and teacher ⛸
I started off my skate lifestyle doing lots of downhill and speed skating (San Francisco). And I've also acquired my worst fall ever and some real good road rash. My only regret that day was not using my knee pads. I had practiced bailing at high speeds in a controlled situation but froze up on the real thing.

Holy moly batman
i took a break from watching roller skate videos but now im getting those vibes all over again and all i want to do is go somewhere hot and SKATE
Saaaaaame ♥ i had my roller skates last time 3 years ago, crazy
I love how you take the time and effort to teach us these things when we all know full well that you are waaaaayyyy past this
Could you do a video about how to get comfortable skating in busy places?
skate park practice. Or have your friends walk around and try to skate around them smoothly
Thank you Indy. You are a great teacher ❤
ive watched all your tutorials and i just got my first pair of skates yesterday! i figured i would be an expert already, but might need another day or two.....love you :')
The last few minutes of you skating in Galveston was the high point of the video!
Hehehehe I'm moving there this Friday and CANNOT WAIT!
Just the smallest things like practicing on the grass! Always so informative and a lot of fun to watch and learn with you! Thank you for sharing your tips😊
What toe stops do u useeee. Idk if it’s the stops I have or if I’m doing something wrong, but they putter so much.
Can you do a video on tips and tricks on how to protect or help your toes from pain, blisters etc that you can experience with skating and ways to avoid it.
I could have used this when I was going full speed down a small hill towards my boyfriend a few months back 😂😂 he caught me so we good but holy shit it was terrifying, haven’t tackled a hill since. 😂😂😂 Thankyou for this tutorial 🙏🏽🙏🏽🌈💖
The swivel is exactly what I needed to know!
Weeee happy to help!
Omg thank you so much!!!! I literally just injured my knee sooo bad and I’m on crutches because I panicked when going fast and couldn’t stop correctly. Can’t wait to get back on skates with this knowledge!
Hope your knee is all better!
Dayum
I was literally going to search for this exact tutorial and then saw you uploaded it today! Thank you for this literal lifesaver!
Hi from Switzerland! Thanx for all your videos!
It also looks really fricking cool! My first pair of skates won't be here for another at least two months but I'm binging these kinds of videos and practicing on my socks on the floor and it's a lot of fun allready haha
8:53 duuuuude that was sick!!! thats so cool oml

the worst part is the wind
I started skating a month ago. So glad to see you are in Galveston now! 💕 💕 💕
You’re a joy to watch Indy, keep up the great work!
i love how you say "not difficult" instead of saying "easy" because sometimes it's not easy for everyone 😊

1:02 thought you were going to silly goose me there
I learned this today after watching your video a few times. Thank you for the. Tutorial. Please post more!

Love this video, 2 questions,
1. what is a good pair of beginner skates to get, I've only skated once at a skate party
2. Where do you teach your class?
thanks so much! when i go down this steep but short ramp i go fast like FAST xD and i cant controll my self so this helped!
learning to stop this way, means you'll have to unlearn it if you ever use inline skates. they don't have front stoppers.
You are so cool, I wish to have people like you in Switzerland ♡
My hometown. Makes me homesick 😩 Great video ‼️‼️
Are you back living on the west coast or just holidaying from NYC?
I would love to take classes with you !!!

Love your videos .... so helpful . Could you please tell me the song playing during this video ? Thanks
i just bommed my first hill a few days ago!! it was really nerve racking :)
Thanks!! I'll try it tomorrow
I was in Galveston today! Wish I had seen you out there!
I love your hair indy it is so fun as soon as covid is over I'm going to join my local derby team any advice?
Thank goodness I went to your videos.. I've been struggling to stop my skates haha.. thanks 😊
seen lots of video but never seen the rope move and i stop in emergency backward with the stoper i do it to save other lot in the rink great teaching thank you thum up for you
Which skates are the best in your opinion? I'm trying to find a good quality one but idk much about the quality of skates.
Gracias Indy me gustan tus consejos,los pondré en práctica 💕
Great skating tutorial! Thank you for sharing your skills!
Such a helpful tutorial, thank you! Your outfits are always the best too.
What brand of wheels you on Indy? Just seeing all those cracks gives me beginner anxiety lol.
replying becuase i also wanna know fjehdbeve
Radar wheels I believe
RADAR OUTDOOR WHEELS :D 57mm clear blue to be specific
Hi Indy! I’m curious to find out if you are doing private skate lessons online?
Fantastic episode!
Lots of love 💘 from Greece 🇬🇷 !
Lovely Galveston tour! 💖

This is the only way I can do transitions because I’m not able to open my hips fully. I call it the “heel jump turn” because I lead with my heels. 😁
I am the same!
This is great-thank you!
Oh my goodness thank you I needed this, perfect timing. :D
Early!! This is so helpful!!!! I got skates in December and have been skating every day (it's really paying off):)
A most informative vid clip - it made me understand the quick turnarpund- ut’s a jump! Hah! I’ll have that down soon!🤩😍😊 Great! Thank youuu Indy!
To learn 'how to stop fast when you're skating fast' is on my to do list for next spring [This is actually the exact phrase that I wrote in the search window:)] Btw, Indy, what are these white things between the front and back wheels of your roller skates? I'm just curious:)
Those are sliders/grind blocks for sliding/grinding on ramps
The no stagger toe stop really did look so cool even though you advised against it. I was like OK GIRL I SEE YOU!!
Excellent tips thanks 😊
Your hair is so cutee😍
You are an incredible videographer. Just amazing video.
I have been watching your vlogs... I hope you one day find another vlog partner. ❤️

CAN YOU PLEASE REVEIW THE SURE-GRIP BOARDWALK SKATES?!?!?
Smiles and fun under the sun very well done great song who sings this?

you really helped me out with my skating skills now im moving on to roller blades
Thank you. I think it'll really help 🖤✨
