- Inline skating is such an amazing pastime activity. It truly is a shame that it died out in the states. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't be skating. Here are my top 5 reasons to start skating in 2020!

Inline skating is dangerous. In some situations, I may choose to skate
without protective gear at my own risk. I highly encourage the use of protective gear.

Thanks for watching!
I unintentionally lost 68 pounds in 7 months from rollerblading :) I was 218 during covid and was bored asfff, so I bought some rollerblades and started to ride for fun. I kept eating my way, no diet, eating pizza, burgers and all the junk you can think of, BUT!!!! I skated 2-3 hours everyday cause it was SO fun and it took me out of my boredom. I don't recall MISSING a single day of rollerblading. I still love it and do it everyday!
That's amazing! Thanks for sharing and keep rollin!
I’m 30 and just bought my first pair of skates in almost 20 years. When you started talking about mental health, I teared up a little because I’ve been going through stuff lately, too. Thanks so much for this video! I’m so excited for my skates to get here so I can get out there!
So stoked for you! I hope skating helps you find mental peace as it has for me. Enjoy your freedom on wheels!
It’s been about 20 years for myself since my skates were taken away from me for insurance (or lack there of) reasons also 30 btw. I wish it hadn’t happened that way but perhaps it was for a reason. I have a lot of self confidence issues and I feel like getting on the pavement will definitely help me know I can do something that’s good for me and my state of being. Just got my skates today and love how they fit which was surprisingly for me since I’m pretty sure they’re generic lol. Anyway, I look forward to feeling like gliding on the asphalt and maybe our paths will cross at some point. Let’s all make ourselves better emotionally and physically. Skate on brotherman. Positive vibes.✌️
Me too! get mine tomorrow 🤞🏾😁
Been going to the local skate place with friends the last few weeks since its cold and cheap there. We are 23 to 43. And it's so fun.
I'm feeling this. I'm waiting one more week before I can order mine. and I can't stop getting excited for them to get to me.! I remember skating helping to clear my mind as a kid. I'm also 30 soon!
I got back into it for the same reasons; depression and anxiety. It was a pretty simple question of 'what have I found fun in my life?' and rollerblading was one of very few answers so I got back into it. Not the ultimate cure but it has brought a lot of joy since being back :) Feel like a lot of people came back all around the same time a few years ago, maybe we all woke up and realised the endless career pursuit was actually not fulfilling at all (just a theory, but feel like a lot of people have been pushing for a more meaningful existence in the last decade. Something is obviously wrong enough that so many people seem to be looking back and trying to figure out what made them happy and A LOT of people were rollerblading in the 90's.. Seems a lot of those people are back? maybe, just a feeling I guess)
You are totally right! Lot of people have come back since the whole "American Dream" is more like a prison sentence for your mind and body. I think inline skating is just such a great mix of creativity and fitness that is can transport you into your own world.
Totally. Skating was an integral part of my personal reappraisal and recognising what was and was not important. I have not regretted a moment since then.
@@ThirtyandRollin For sure, I should probably add the fact that I can favour the 'life' part of the work/life balance is a definitely privilege. Can't imagine having free time if your forced into working multiple jobs etc. That being said, it's amazing to see how people are making an effort to carve out time to follow their passions, get back into something they love or try something new. Very inspiring!
@@Snifffski amazing to hear! :)
I so agree with you. I used to skate and roller blade often as a good and around middle school grew out of my blades and my parents never bought me any more cuz I was doing other activities like tennis amd marching band. And the local roller rink closed. I've ice skated a hand full of times with friends since then but I just got roller blades yesturday and today I went skating twice(very badly lol) and I had so much fun. I cant wait to get better and be able to skate backwards again and go fast
I love skating because it's like playing as a kid again. I don't really feel like I'm working out until maybe 7 miles in and when you think back to being a kid you didn't realize you were working out all the time when you were running around playing because of the fun you were having. I also love that through the ups and downs and changes in life, it's always there. Just hope I stay healthy so I can continue to for a long time. I see a woman in her 50s or 60s skating the trail I take and it's cool and inspiring to see. Lately my knees have been killing me though, but I think I can change my form a bit to help that
Reason your knees hurt is most likely skate position and not a lack of fitness. If form means fitness in your understanding. If not sorry for my misinterpretstion.
That is a great point and a huge reason I skate. It takes me back to days free of stress and worries. Thanks for your thoughts!
@@freshasadaisy4782 by form i meant the way I pump my legs. I do kind of a carving motion which twists my knees a tiny bit with every glide. But when I skate more in straight lines I notice it hurts a lot less. Need to use my feet more and my knees less I think
I'm 61 and becoming a carnivore gave me a new lease on life. I started suffering from joint pain and tendonitis when I hit 40. Getting rid of all inflammation causing plants that we can't really digest and just eating animal base gave me my life back. Look into it. Check out the podcast from Joe Rogan talking with a surgeon named Shawn Baker.
I don't even need my glasses anymore...that I've worn since I was 14.
Eating our proper diet will rejuvenate your entire body.
We don't have a green cell in our body...there's no reason why we should eat leaves. Cows that do eat green stuff have what is called a rumin and they have to eat all day long. The microbes in their rumin break down the plant fiber. We have zero bacteria in our stomach.
@@kchappelle well I'm genuinely glad you feel great but you're talking to the wrong woman cause I've been vegan for 4 years lol
I used to skate on quads back in the seventies. My 29 year old son took up inline skating a couple of years ago in London. He moved back in with us during lockdown and found me some good second hand rollerblades and took me out skating with him. I'm 58. We have the best time, we live in a very quiet hamlet on a single track road. We put slalom cones down the road and any cars that come along line them up in the middle and go over them. A guy came through the other day in a three wheeler, he took the challenge in good part! I love learning new tricks, I'm improving all the time, it feels fantastic and I especially love the fact that my son isn't embarrassed to skate with his mum! It would be great to find some other skaters, we seem to be a rare breed in West Wales so thanks for spreading the word, hopefully the community will grow and grow!
That's awesome to hear! I think you will start to find more and more people starting or getting back into it over the next year or two. Thanks for the comment and just keep rollin!
Hi, it took me 50 years to find the courage to wear a pair of skates and I regret not doing this sooner. Now I consider that I have made one of the best decisions of my life. Thank you and everyone who breaks your time to show us how to become better skaters. Big thanks!
So cool! Glad you took the first step.
I just started skating about 3 weeks ago, as a way to get my dog running without me having to run, lol. Maybe not the smartest, to be learning how to skate with a dog, but it's working out, and I have skated (with my dog) every day since getting them, and I am loving it!! I definitely wear a helmet and knee, elbow and wrist protection and have just been figuring it out, on safe trails (away from traffic). Just the feeling, like you mentioned in your first point, is so great--I love how it gets me connected with the moment and the mind/body connection. I also totally agree with your point about being proud of gaining skills. Your shots of your skills riding were really fun to watch, and I can only imagine having control like that some day. I don't really have ambitious goals or specific skills I want to learn, but am just enjoy feeling every day like I'm improving and feel a little more secure and comfortable. My dog was the main reason I first got the idea to try it (she's too small to keep up with a bike, but I like how easy it is to have variable speeds on roller blades, for when she wants to stop to sniff, or really get going fast), but I have a feeling I'm going to love developing this into even more of a personal hobby without her. It is just a great feeling...
That's so awesome to hear, welcome! Skating with a dog at only 3 weeks in is intense! Stay safe and stay rollin!
You'll get those skills too it just takes practice, which means k's.... Ive been hard out the last couple years and my skills now are right up there, more than expected, and admired by many as I roll past them on the esplanade. Tip, progress slowly is safer, if your windmilling, your going too fast... 49 and rollin
Two years ago, at age 48, I started skating for that exact same reason. :) I also didn't have any particular goals when I started, just wanted my flatcoated retriever to be able to run and have fun with me. And boy did we have fun! =D
Sadly she got sick and passed away last year, but by then I was hooked on inline skating, so I continued, and even set some goals like learning to skate backwards and braking without using the heel brake. :)
Then, about a year ago, I visited an indoor skate park (it was bad weather, so I went there just to practice on my goals.) took a look at the ramps and thought "nope, not for me" and just skated around practicing my own stuff. After a while I tried some of the easier ramps and found it to be so much fun that I decided to try to drop in on a a small quarter pipe. I fell hard, broke my wrist and had to take a break from skating for a few months. When I got back I decided that "I'm gonna learn that, goddammit". So I did. Now I am skating both for cardio, on the streets, and at the local skate parks, and I am learning something new almost every time. And that feeling when you do a new trick, or manage something that seemed too scary at first, is just awesome. =D The only thing I regret is that I didn't start skating earlier. ;)
So keep on rolling, have fun, and I am sure that you too will evolve beyond your wildest dreams! =D (I mean, if someone would have told me two years ago that I would skate up a 6 foot wall, turn, and skate down again, I would have said that they were crazy.) ^_^
(Sorry for the rant, just got so inspired by your post, Liz.)
ROLLERBLADING
That's one of my reasons, too! I'm pretty scared, to be honest - have tried running him with a bike and he pulls so hard at first. What tips do you have for harness/collar with skating with your dog?
My skates delivery just got pushed back 3 weeks. Just got my safety gear. I’m dying over here!
O man what a tease!!! Soon you we be rollin!
I am 32 and started skating for the first time 6 weeks ago. It is really fun and is helping me through the stress of university. I have more or less replaced running with skating as my choice of cardio as it feels much better for my body. Not aware of any skate community here in Limerick Ireland, it's seen mostly as a child's passing fascination and not a viable form of exercise for adults.
I'm all about introducing new movement patterns to my brain and body and skating is definitely new. The challenge of picking up an entirely new skill and progressing little by little with it, seeing improvements every day towards micro-goals is very rewarding. It's amazing how every time I strap on the skates, I am a little better at what I was working on before I took them off.
For anyone who is starting skating like me, I would say not to fear it. I've found it to be surprisingly safe by wearing protective gear, starting slow, and learning how to control speed as I became more comfortable with going fast.
Great input! Thank you for sharing your thoughts on skating!
@AlanR I’m based in Ireland as well. You know there’s a stigma about things like that here lol ppl will look in a funny way if we on skates
Point #4, I feel you man! Been feeling the same about skating and it's so nice to have something I can put my focus into instead of dwelling on those negative thoughts.
Skating is such a powerful tool for that.
I felt the bite of deppression when all this virus began, went to the store and gotten myself some cheap fitness skates (yeah, we dont have skate shops here so I had to wait for almost 2 months for proper skates), and been happily gliding again since then.... It helped me with my mental health, my physical health, gotten me to meet a lot of new people....and generaly start enjoying life again instead of trapping my self in a routine betwen eating, sleeping and working..... and thats the part I love the most about it, when I was 15, i thought that skating is nothing more besides doing tricks and stuff.....so I used skates only for that, basicly...
Im 27 now, and I find skating liberating among other things.... The freedom of movement, the peace it provides, the ability to get lost in the city you thought you knew..... Its just, amazing..... :D
Anyway, im prob too late to comment on the video that randomly popped out.... But Its a great video, and great reasons to start inline.... :D
Starting at 67 and buzzing. A lot of reasons why ‘I’ve’ taken it up in May 22 and not the normal route but loving every moment of my journey. 😃
Just bought some skates from skatepro.uk. Bought some powerslide one80s for £100. Including delivery. It's been 3 days of practice and I've been mainly focusing on balancing on my left foot (weaker foot) while rolling. Yesterday I went out to practice at night as I knew it would rain today, and I went downhill fell hit my elbow, but got back up and tried again and did the t-stop for the first time. I love skating. It's like my way of coping with the challenges I face in my life, it's basically my therapy
Yes! Love the fact that you got up and kept going to achieve your goal! Cheers!
Hopefully you were wearing protection, can save a lot of tears after a fall. But well done for getting back up, it’s like a lesson in life we could all learn from! 🙏
I try to skate for the length of an album every time I go out to skate. Really a fun, productive, and great way to be present while also processing some stuff on your mind.
That's an amazing idea! I will have to start that.
I'm 55 and just ordered my first pair of inline skates. I pray they will fit b/c they are coming from DK I think (skated on quads ages ago and ice more recently). All the quality skates, it seems, are in Europe, and practically impossible to find good skates locally. I also just started skiing this year - and for all of the reasons you you mentioned, *plus*, just getting outside and breathing fresh air and new scenery is good for the soul!
Welcome! Hope you are enjoying your time on wheels!
Great content! #3 ALL THE WAY! The Community was an excellent part of my teenage years. I never even plugged in as deep as I could have. But the friends I made skating, and the friends I skated with, those are a bunch of the most high-quality characters I've ever had the pleasure of knowing.
Great video. It's odd how the 2 physical things I found most enjoyable in my past (hacky-sack and blading) both became socially un-cool or whatever. As for blading, I really got into it at first about 10 years ago (I'm 44 now). Back then, I'd blade around my company's office at lunch every day, whether 100 degrees or 30. Aside from the occasional dive to avoid a semi-truck pulling into the warehouse, it was a blast. For whatever reason, I fell out of it (getting way into making music, family, and work maybe). I've been wanting to get back into regular exercise, and I just don't have enough fun jogging (also tough on the knees) or doing boring routines at the gym. Today I decided to pull out the skates and give it another go. Man, I really have missed it. In order to ensure I don't set it aside anytime soon, I ordered a new pair of blades (more urban with the smaller wheels than my current pair) and plan on making it a daily lunch thing again. I'd like to learn more advanced stuff, like skating backwards and better stopping. My ultimate goal is to make my own songs to blade to (like the one you have in the video with the vocal samples). That would be super satisfying and I will get there. Hopefully I can find others in this community you spoke of. On the plus side there, my pastor is a former hockey player whose body can't jog anymore, so I think I may have a built-in blading buddy when I want. Cheers and keep it up!
That's great news that you are picking your blades up again! It really does help to blade with a buddy as well as treat yourself to new gear. Welcome back!
I've recently become very aware of how inactive I've become, spending all my time behind a screen. When I was younger I used to be so active. I'm about to start inline skating (at 28) to try to change that.
It will be first time in skates (of any kind) so will be interesting. I have practically no core strength or leg muscle, and a dodgy knee, so lots to learn and improve. My biggest struggle eill be dealing with my social anxiety. Just getting out in public to skate will really help my confidence.
Your videos are helpful and inspiring.
We are get to that point and have to make the conscious decision to get out and be more active. Glad to hear you're back! We all struggle to some degree with social anxiety skating but it goes away with time. Put on some music and escape to your own world! Enjoy!
I can see it in your voice that inline is great for cardiovascular exercise!
I am 28 years old and just bought my first pair. I played inline hockey as a kid in Southern California and would skate all the time for the first 15 or 16 years of my life.
I now live in MN and am excited to try the Powerslide Skates 3×110 when they arrive Thursday.
Well, excitement doesn't even scratch the surface for how thrilled I am to start this journey again.
So stoked for you! Enjoy your journey!
ur so cool bro, I am 45 and practicing inline now. People like u r so motivating....
I used to roller skate from 8 to 11 years old from 2000 to 2003. Now I am to rollerblade for years of no exercise. Became fat in 2016, but now continuing in 2020 relating to skates.
Glad you are back! Just keep rollin and you will be back in shape in no time!
I've started roller blade skating yesterday. I think I was trying too hard not to fall. I didn't let go of the railings. I think you have to learn how to fall safely too, perhaps. I think I will practise at a park tomorrow. I was at an urban sports center where most people had skateboards and perfomance bikes. Hope to learn more in the coming days and weeks. Thanks for your videos.
Nice skate nice list! I particularly resonate with skating for self improvement: so much fun to constantly have things to work on, and even better to level up.
Totally!
Just another ‘I’m in my 30’s and just picked it up again after like 15 years’ comment and this was a lovely chill vid my dude. Though making my envious of some of the pavements and roads round your way vs the patchwork quilt of London
I watched several videos and I haven't seen a bad one yet I am so pumped up today was my first day and knowing is going I can't wait to do it again bon travail love that song
Glad you are enjoying them! Keep rollin!
I'm back to rollerblading 🤠
I would put on #5 being variety of things you can do on skates to everybody's taste: speed, fitness, urban, hockey, slalom, dancing, city, downhill, anybody add more if it comes to your mind.
That is an excellent point! Thanks!
This is encouragement I need. Thank YOU!
Bro thanks for this video, I'm 46 and have decided it's time I got my mind and body fit again with inline skates after 20 years👍🏾
That's a great choice! Enjoy the journey!
2 months since I Got back into it after maybe 10 years give or take best decision ever for all those reasons. Current setup Powerslide zoom 80 kizer flux frames and the hurican wheels that came with zoom (upgrading to 90 mm undercovers soon I think)
Nice, welcome back! Sick setup too!
It is the feeling of freedom! Great exercise and so much fun!!!!
Thanks for sharing. I've really been enjoying your videos while I wait for my inline skates to arrive. I identify with #4 and can't wait to add this to my toolkit for staying in a healthy mindset.
That's a great one! Glad you are going to be getting on some skates soon.
I loved watching this ! You seem like the nicest down to earth kind of guy ! I have just started blading. first time since I was 11. I am 31 now ! from the Uk. Im finding stopping hard ! but i have only beem out once . Second time tonight . Not sure how to find fellow skaters here doesnt seem to be a thing ! Need to gain confidemce going out in my street alone, went with a friend whike she walked last time lol . Feel like people are watching from there windows 😂 Thanks for the video ! Love the mental health side of it .. im a huge advocate for that ! xxx
Thank you! I would look on social media for any local skate groups. Keep it up and stopping will get easy. You can check out my stopping video for a few ways to stop.
I skate and love it been skating since I was 6
very true... the more you skate, the better you are and it's fun and stress relief. And it's faster than walking! :)... love skating in the malls...
You're right the community is the best. But sadly there are nit really people in Germany who really enjoy skating. And this is sad. But i got a friend in this hobby and when she gets her skats im gonna teach her. :)
Nice always fun to bring new blood into skating!
Just bought my NEXT poweslides today and I’m sooo excited to get back into roller blading 😍
So awesome! Glad you are back!
Just ordered a pair of skates! Thanks for the inspiration 😁🤙🏻
Awesome! Enjoy it!
I'm kind of loving the background music!
You are an underrated inline skating TH-camr. Keep up the great content!!
Thank you! Will do!
Yes I agree with you thanks for sharing
what stops me from doing it is the ground all over my area. it's so cracked and uneven it's basically impossible
same for me but you can take your skates and go somewhere in your city where the ground is even, we gotta do with what we have
For #2, before I started inline skating last May at the age of 47 I was running a 5K on a treadmill 3 times a week. This was causing me problems in my left knee. With inline skating I can get as good of a workout that is #1 very fun and not hurt my knee. At first I had problems with the ankles but that has gone away as I have strengthened my muscles of my lower legs. One regret in giving up the treadmill I was within 28 seconds of being able to do a 6 minute mile. I don't see myself getting there again as time goes on. For #4 yes exactly especially in the difficult year we have been through.
Ya inline skating is much nicer on your joints! 6 min mile is fast! But it's ok if you don't hit a number. It's better to enjoy your workout than hit a time in my book.
You have inspired to get back into my K2’s!! Thank you for this video!!
That's awesome! Glad I could inspire!
Skating's the best dude. It's just so much fun.
what was pretty cool today a kid yelled out to me what are those! and had to give him what he asked and yelled back rollerblades!!!! you should try em!
Haha love it!
Awesome video bro
Thanks!
How about 40+ rolling? 😊 I'm almost 44, and started with rollerbladeing just a year ago. With everyone time I am just more and more happy.
i enjoy your videos. i think we live in the same city. i just came across you this week on what seems like never ending search for information about inline skates. i turned 37 this year and decided i also want to re-live my teens when i used to inline skate daily. my feet have changed a lot since then and i’m running into issues finding skates for wide + flat feet. do you have any recommendations? i appreciate your time. look forward to seeing more of your videos.
What kind of skating are you planning to do?
@@ThirtyandRollin Thanks for the quick response! i wanna skate mostly street. I just wanna cruise around the hood and maybe some paved trails around the city.
@@t4r0g I'd look into some Powerslide Zoom Pro 80s or Rollerblade RB Pro X.
@@ThirtyandRollin Awesome! I’ll look into them. Appreciate your insight! Thanks again.
Additional benefit: it's better than taking the bus. lol
I used to in-line skate and play ice hockey but that was 20 years ago I’ve been in the market for a pair of new in-line skates but I have size 13 shoe and I’m struggling to find anything that fits me within my budget I’m not looking to spend $300 when I haven’t skated in years. So I’m kind a looking at quad skates they can be found a little cheaper and pretty much the same kind of workout
I don't know anything about quads. But you are right 13 is a hard size to find in skates.
I am WITH YOU on the Bonus! The Comeback movement is RIPE for right now!! Have you seen Ground Control's aluminum frames?!? They didn't have those when I was skating a decade and a half ago.
Yep I have not skated those new ones yet. I did roll the Solas and Keizer metal frames for aggressive for a while.
What is the song in this video? I need to know, I love it
Lol I am not sure but it is free on the TH-cam audio library.
Yes I need to download this song!
How do you stop?! I've watched tons of videos and I don't get how you slide your wheels perpendicular to your momentum. If I do that I just trip and flip over.
Slides are for later in your skating career. Try these first... th-cam.com/video/v0OQA6lZj1c/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=ThirtyandRollin
The T-stop is pretty effective but can wear out your wheels pretty quick, slides are a little more advanced but far from impossible. If you’re a total beginner then your skates should really have a heel brake, it’s pretty easy with those. There’s also a design where you push down gently on the rear wheel which makes it slow down/stop, I saw this on another channel but I forgot to copy the link! Good luck 🤞
I use to skate and play hockey back in 7th grade..Im now 34 but havent done any skating since...Been on a fitness journey to loose alot of weight and have dropped over 100 lbs.....Still sitting in the 270s but wondering what a healthy weight goal would be to look at getting back on skates and what type of skates wod be best to start with....As in go cheap or save and get really good ones
Congrats! There is no weight limit to skate but it is easier being lighter. I would look into a hard shell boot for more support.
You can go out in the lockdown.
I've got 6 months in this sport and hobby, wow my body feels amazing
Another great reason!
@@ThirtyandRollin plus any virus even cancer can't survive in a body with a good oxygenation and a balanced diet.
Lactose, sugar and cholesterol produce mucous in the body = food for the virus. Kill the virus leaving it without food
@@jb837 Dig it! New headline for blading... Virus/cancer killer!
@@ThirtyandRollin Bro take a look at her th-cam.com/video/WvNcA8hseWk/w-d-xo.html
I do know people 30 years younger than her with a lot of different illness thanks to: smoking, bad diet, lack of exercise sugar sugar aspartame and more poison ☠.
She looks younger, happier and healthier.
Smoking take oxygen from your body, sugar trigger a lot of nasty stuff.
@@jb837 Ya I saw this a bit ago so cool!
You should add 'commuting' too.
That's a huge pro to start skating for sure!
Hey man, watched a quite a few of the vids over the last few months, thanks!!
Used to skate everyday in my teens/twenties. Just got back on at nearly 40 😬 powerslide 3x110, and man I wasn't ready to be that bad again!!! Ha, used to be pretty good, but. Now like bambi on ice!! Questions....
Is riding on 110mm any harder than 72/80 mm for example?? (Was always an aggressive rider on 64mm max, wondering if this might be an issue??)
With the twister, what size should you go for, example I'm a 7 in trainers/boots??
Haha I feel ya! I felt like that when I first got back into it. 100s and bigger are a bit less stable than 80 and smaller. Higher off the ground, that being said they shouldn't be an issue after you shake off the cobwebs. As long as you have a medium to narrow foot I always advise going with your shoe size in Twisters. Online stores will say to size up a whole size but I actually sized down a half size in mine.
Community?! How do I get tied in? I’m in Corvallis, so not far away. But, as far as I can tell, there isn’t much of a community locally, but you all aren’t far!
Ya look up PDXskate on instagram.
Do you think the smaller wheels on the aggressive style blades would be alright on a pump track?? There a pump track right down the road from me and want to get back into it 👍
If that's what you got go for it! They will be a bit sluggish and will make you work harder but will still work.
@@ThirtyandRollinfor sure, thank you for the reply! I need to buy a pair since I've been out of it for a while. Probably will start with some 80mm while I get some skill back. Probably will be better to start there! 😁
@@Monk_Funk A set of 80s would be perfect!
@@ThirtyandRollin awesome thank you!
i have a question
why do some skates have the stop thing in the back and some dont? is there a big difference or does it not matter?
The heel brake is a beginner stopping device. Skates that come with it are more geared towards beginners but not always. Most skates have them or have the ability to buy them for the skate.
@@ThirtyandRollin oh ok thank you for explaining
@@kamilytee No problem!
Someone link the song playing while he rides pleeeeeeeeeease ❤️❤️❤️
studio.youtube.com/ It's called Don't Wanna Be by Kwon
I live in India and here skating is not much of a sport ,many parent allow their children to start skating but not mine ,I hope they did cuz I murdered them in anger ,I really feel the peace you talked about now .
I Use to skate do I go for freestyle skates or standard skates? I’m unsure
What are you looking to do on skates?
Good for your dog
I wish mine would run beside me!
Downhill frame for fitness！
what is the name of the song
I've been skating since I was 13, I am 45 this year. Skating never died to me and I'm sure to any true enthusiasts.
thanks for your video, maybe some different music?
I have a "gripe"....why is it SO hard to find a pair of good skates that are size 13 - 13.5 US? lol 😜
Lol that's a large skate! All skates are hard to find right now because of the uptick in skate popularity.
Because it's better than sitting on your gooch, biking
I would just say inline skating is not good on the back lol. Especially lower back.
Whenever I lace up and start rolling, my first thought is: "Best decision of the day!" - for all the reasons you mentioned.
Love!
I want to be JUST LIKE YOU!
SAME! whenever I get too overwhelmed with work, I just strap on my skates and I forget about all my worries :)
WELL SAID!!
Totally agree, when I managed to roll normal on the streets I just thought: one of my best invests.
What is this song????
Hi, I’m 65 and have started inline skating after about 41 years. Previously I used to do it on quad skates in my university days (1976-78). Inline skating has been an exhilarating experience and, just 4 months into it, I’m already on the streets practicing it for 1 to 2 hours daily. Your videos are a treat, so thank you for the excellent effort you’re putting into them. Keep on inspiring people like me.
Any tips for forward to backward transition and crossovers, for that’s what I’m working on these days? I’m already well into one-leg skating, parallel turns, can apply heel and T-brakes, and do toe rolls, double push, etc. I have four pairs of skates - both rockered (banana) and non-rockered, kinds - and occasionally use all of them with confidence. Parallel glides and power braking are going to be my next goal soon. If you like, I can send in a few short clips of my skating to seek your suggestions for improvement in my style. Looking forward to your guidance and any further quick tips.
Love from Pakistan.
Tariq
65 years old, fair play to you, I lived in Spain for a year and the oldest skater I saw was in his 70’s! Such a joy to see, what I love about skating is there are no limits, age included! Good luck 😉
Totally agree! I hope to roll into my 80s
Man I hope I'm still able to skate when I'm 65, not even 30 and I already have a kinda busted knee I'm crossing all my fingers that it doesn't get worse !
As for your questions I'm probably a bit (a lot) late but I recommend you watch some of Skatefresh Asha's videos she explains most things very clearly :)
Tariq, that is VERY uplifting to hear about your skating! It's impressive that you are skating at 65, but then also that you are learning to rollerblade, that's really incredible. I hope you continue to progress and find yourself more and more resilient.
@Joseph Clifford From what I gathered it's more of an anatomical problem, would translate to something like "rotulian syndrom" (I'm French so don't know the exact term) : my kneecap doesn't move as/where it should in the joint and it can cause severe inflammation (I found myself limping for days if not weeks).
But hey even if I can't run anymore skating doesn't hurt that much so I'm happy with it if it stays that way !
Falling while skating in public may be embarrassing but for me it also weirdly give a feeling of fun
I’m not the only one 😂
I hadn’t went skating in years and went to a roller rink and fell soooo many times but got back up and just laughed at myself because omg I could picture me falling and it’s just soo fun and funny 😄
Don’t be embarrassed your living life more active then most on skates
I fell in front of armed police at the US Embassy in London. I’m 54, I was show boating a bit. I found that funny.
I laught my ass of when i fall, and People be like duuude! Did you kill yourself? 😂
Being on a pair of blades definitely blows away that anxiety and depression. Been on and off skating for a while but, have recently been doing it more often (about 2-3 times a week now), it's been helping a lot with my mental health, especially with this pandemic. Though, currently on a small recovery break - was trying to learn how to power slide, and my right leg locked up on a crack and felt like my knee was practically going to snap. Thankfully, was able to get myself out of the lock and prevent a more serious injury. But Im eager to get back on the streets and skate again.
O man that sounds intense.
Great production and flow, Man! For me it just lets you flow and feel free in a way that’s difficult to describe.
I agree. The sensation of flow and the ability to just go anywhere is amazing!
couldnt describe it any better
im 21 and it’s my first week! (used to skate when i was 10) got back at them for the same reason, a lot of anxiety and questioning life and all that. rollerblading is a great sport to put your mind into the present and simply just exist. i love it. and thanks for this video🥰
Skating is so much more fun than running or jogging too. Its a workout I'd actually keep up, with the other two I give up after a few sessions. Got into skating a year ago for fitness and it keeps getting more fun as your skills improve.
Totally agree!
Just started blading again after 20+ years and went down the Promenade in Blackpool, UK. You couldn't imagine the amount of people staring as I sailed past having the time of my life. The world seems to have forgotten how much fun inline skating is!!
Totally!
Great job evangelizing for the sport. I love the footage of you just skating and smiling. That's the look of a happy inner child. About to buy my first pair of blades at 32 and so excited!
Yes when I'm on skates it take me back to childhood! Awesome you are getting some!
I just got new rollerblades and got hooked after an hour at the park. I was so happy and even the teenagers who skate better seemed enthusiastic seeing me, a 30 year old woman learning a new hobby. Everyone around me young or old was happy just to be skating 😃
That's awesome! So glad you are experiencing the greatness that is inline skating!
Skating awakens the most pure, childlike joy in me. Once I got over the initial awkwardness and fear at starting out, I just found myself grinning every time I was on skates! It’s so fun!
And 100% agree with the community point too - if you’re wondering how to make friends as an adult, the skating community is a total JACKPOT!! Look up Facebook groups in your area and just start showing up! Everyone I’ve met has been so wonderful, and so eager to share their knowledge. Most people were taught by the kindness of another in the community, and just want to pay that forward. It’s really wonderful 🥰
Awesome input, thanks for this! The community is so amazing for inline skating!
Some great points! I’ve just started skated at 34 and loving it so far. It’s great to feel the progression every time I go out and I’ve encouraged some friends into it too. Thanks for your content 😊
I was really surprised you didn’t mention that inline skating can be practiced at just about any location and on almost all terrains. My real passion is for iceskating; I started inline skating because a session at a rec park can last for hours and hours... your options for learning tricks are endless.
That is such a great point! I can't believe I didn't think of that point. Thanks!
Just found out there’s a pump track 10 minutes from work. I need these in 2020
Uhhhhh yes you do! Thats awesome!
There is no better feeling for me than finishing lacing up and standing up on the skates, just getting ready to set out on another inline adventure! I have been practicing transitions and skating backwards, and while I am still not very good at it, going backwards is very fun!
Love that feeling of a new session ready to unfold.
@@ThirtyandRollin Most definitely! I will never regret taking up inline skating, it was probably the best decision of my life.
I am 40 and I am dying to get back into inline-skating because I used to do it when it was way younger. Thanks for the 5 reasons. All of them are valid!!! So happy I found your channel @ThirtyandRollin
What’s a good entry level skate? I was looking at Zetrablade? Any recommendations @ThirtyandRollin
Came back to skating after a 20+ years stop. Self learned as a kid, and now trying to get back into it with a shiny new pair of 3wd (don't ask me why I got those, they just called to me :D ). Today was my first day trying them out for 1hr at the local park, and I'm half dead, but happy! Cheers from Dublin!
That's awesome dude! 3WDs are so much fun!
Dude you're spot-on about 'that flow'. Even during a bad skate session I always have moments where I get into the flow. Those moments make it totally worthwhile. The community makes it worthwhile, too. 99% of us are super supportive when people have questions. It's cool to see, especially when most other communities will tell a beginner to just google stuff like that solves all the problems.
Random question: How long did it take you to get good at skating fakie? I've gotten better but it's one of those skills that still kicks my ass consistently.
It took me some time to get comfortable with it. I still am not perfect, so I try to skate fakie as much as I can.
I ran for 30 years and absolutely loved it (7 years competitive, and the rest for meditation and fitness) until 2018, when at the age of 42, I had the first of 4 knee surgeries and was told I was never running again. Now, I'm 45, rebuilding my strength in the weight room and am looking for that "thing" to give me what running gave me. So, 3 days ago, I bought my first pair of inline skates (Bauer roller hockey for beginners). I figured that since I had learned years ago how to ice skate on hockey skates, I could learn this. I went out for my first skate yesterday, just to get a feel for the wheels, and I discovered I am truly a beginner, but boy was it a BLAST. I fell down once, and I rolled around super slow for about 15 minutes, and I am hooked. I came back to TH-cam for some tutorials on skills I will need, and I found your series. I love the positivity and the super accessible approach to skating that you give. Thanks for being amazing! I'm looking forward to once again logging some serious miles and getting a new lease on life!
So cool to hear this! Really happy for you! If taken slow and remaining in control, inline skating can be a seriously good workout and fun!
Love this video! The second you mentionned depression and anxiety, I started crying because I can deeply relate. Movement can save our lives. Roller skating is a great way to work out, go outside and meet nice people.
One problem for me though : the streets of Paris are a nightmare to skate on! Too many cars and pedestrians, too many paved streets, overcrowded skateparks... Cruising at night is my solution :)
Nice I love a good night skate when it's just me, my skates and the open streets!
Skating has been a great anti-depressant. I’ve also made so many great friends from all walks of life skating. Great video:)
Just got back into it after 25 years
Same here!!! And muscle memory is still there! Just much more afraid of hurting myself than when I was a little kid
I've been talking with my friends and almost all of them thought that skating could be fun for all of us. But none of us know how or have spare money for a pair or protective gear. Hope I don't end up skating alone, if I ever get my hands on some lol. I think it would be good for me. Especially health wise, I really gotta lose weight.
I think this is the time to start inline skating to reduce stress from onlinr classes
I couldn't agree more!
I know this is an old video but at 43 I just got the itch to get out there and skate again and have been going down the TH-cam rabbit hole of rollerblade videos that I didn't know existed until just recently. I thought the sport was pretty much dead. Thank you for the video as you gave me more resolve to start skating again as I hadn't thought of the mental health aspect. Lately I feel myself starting to spiral into a dark place of self pity and doubt so I hope it can help, along with other things. Now just got to figure what skates I want to try and convince the wife to let me buy them.
I used to skate all the time as a kid. I ran a lot in my 20s, but now I'm just too old and fat to enjoy that sport too much. I'm 31 years old and just picked skating back up, and could not be happier. It's fun, it's low impact, and gets me off the fucking couch.
