Idk why youtubers hate making tutorials but I would love to see more stuff like this. thanks ben. was fun chattin it up in the bladecup stream, hope to see you in the streaming rig at future events ;)
Question. When learning to grind, either boxes, ledges or rails. Do you look at Where are your feet are going to land at first and then focus down the rail? Or are you always just looking only at where you wanna go to and trusting your feet to land where they need?
im 35 years old now and ive been skating since middle school. boy would a video like this have saved my ass a bunch of times learning lol. i wish skating was still popular. i still got my custom Razors in the garage, think i might put em on and roll around a bit.
Nice format, and the beginner tips are appreciated big time. Backside stall advice all makes sense. Need to try to learn the backside stall. Been trying for only four years.
Yeah I worked on that backside stall as a kid now it just feels natural. Learning 270 into a switch backside stall still feels a bit sketch but seems like it adds a little more style to it.
Back in 90's when there wasn't skateparks every where, I waxed up curbs on a entrance only parking lot and pretended there was transition. Sounds silly but it worked back and fourth backside to backside. I recommend it.
Lets go! these are the vids I need ! I think this may take me an entire season but this vid got into my mental, Would love some tips on maintaining balance and particularly when fakie
Can you make all these beginner videos a playlist on your channel? Or at least add some naming convention to the titles that's obvious and can be searched for? I think these are really great tips but when they're dispersed across your account it can be hard to find them. I remember when I started out that I learned a lot more from channels that condensed all the beginner-facing stuff because it was so easy to find once I'd found the first video... Whereas when it was just random videos with random titles, I'd find something that would have been useful a few months earlier once I'd already learned that lesson the unnecessarily hard way.
I, 💯 agree! Organizing the videos by playlist is helpful and it will help the channel grow as folks can see the hyper bold labels on them. For example: (1) beginner level rollerblading, (2) intermediate level , (3) Professional level , (4) then playlist just for the funny / skit performances, (5) interviews with pro-athletes/personalities, etc. ok! 5 playlist here! Gosh…been pulling 80hrs of work these days…brain is mush…but maybe this can give you an idea @irollerboot @ben
@@okthisisthelasttimeipromise another good idea is also the playlist can also be organized by theme/lesson … I’ve seen this on a few learning channels. As a beginner, its helpful for me to see the topic/theme. Thank you so much!
Firstly. Ben this video is gold. You had me laughing from the first 5 seconds. Secondly, fantastic advice. I've always put off backside stalls for some weird reason. I'm going to get out there and practice them this week.
I was one of those noobs who thought that the frontside stall to 180 was safer until the time when I didn't nail my landing on the mini ramp and tweaked my knee I had a month of recovery to sit and think about that mistake!
so i am 27 an recently moving out of a flatmates an into my own place but as digging through and sorting my shit i came across my old pair skates from easily 15 years ago and since i have found your channel as they peaked my interest and i think because of you i am gonna pick my self up a pair of boots and see if i can still stand up in them who knows i might even try and skate some :)
Never have been much of a park skater, even in my prime in the 90s, mainly only because there werent any close by. To this day they still intimidate me bigtime
Awesome and helpful video! Do you think you can make a video of stalling on coping, then going back down fakie? I literally can’t breakthrough that mental block! Haha
180 stall should be one of the first things a skater learns on transition, it's absolutely necessary and once mastered will allow you to attempt grinds, starting with backsides, farvs etc.
front side stall is just ugly and its also a noob first trick i think this is why more seasoned skaters don't really do them on a quarter like that. If i ever want to go fakie from a transition i would just tap one foot on the coping and come back down or fast slide and come back down if i wasn't just doing an actual trick.
I can't decide if you are getting better the most at skating, acting, editing, creating, communicating, advocating...you're brilliant!!!
thumbs up immediately at the intro...
Idk why youtubers hate making tutorials but I would love to see more stuff like this. thanks ben. was fun chattin it up in the bladecup stream, hope to see you in the streaming rig at future events ;)
I was not expecting that high of a production quality increase with the intro
Backsides are still scary for me, thanks for the video Ben! We gotta skate this summer
I have fallen in to the trap of frontside stalling the copping all the time and not progressing. Thanks for this Ben 👍🏻. PS this video was awesome 😂
Getting Mr Rogers vibes neighbor!
Nailed the intro. Was all prepped to learn some forklift safety.
😅
I love you in your comedic (but still KNOWLEDGEABLE & INFORMATIVE 🤓) pocket
It’s amazing
That intro was absolutely genius! Haha. Some solid advice there, will be using it myself this week.
When you stopped your wheels for the noise..... bro... dead

Great advice! I used to front side stall or just 180 but never back side. Gave me the motivation to actually learn it. Cheers!
Thats why I watch. Knowledge, Knowledge, Information, Fun!
😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣 fantastic intro. /slowclap
I was struggling w frontsides, but I threw a backside just to see and landed it first t. This just makes so much more sense

Bro...please do more videos like this...its fun to watch..your funny as hell... NOW TEACH US HOW TO BE A GRINDER BLADER!
Bro best meme editing yet 😅
😂 A+ intro. May I suggest: Ben’s Bonafide Blader Basics. I have a thing for alliteration lol. Thanks for the video! Killin it!
Yeah I worked on that backside stall as a kid now it just feels natural. Learning 270 into a switch backside stall still feels a bit sketch but seems like it adds a little more style to it.
love that editing style, brotha, classic!
thank you for always sharing your love for blading.
keep on rollin, baby, you know what time it is.
Back in 90's when there wasn't skateparks every where, I waxed up curbs on a entrance only parking lot and pretended there was transition. Sounds silly but it worked back and fourth backside to backside. I recommend it.
that montage was amazing 😂 great bit of advice, my safety stall is a backside stall, it's ingrained.
Top notch intro!
Lets go! these are the vids I need ! I think this may take me an entire season but this vid got into my mental, Would love some tips on maintaining balance and particularly when fakie
Same! I second that!
Definitely guilty of hurting myself trying to progress too fast. I need to skate the banks some more. Once I heal from the most recent injury, anyway.
