I completely feel you, I feel THE most vulnerable when I’m skating alone because I feel like I’m an easy target all unstable and unable to get away. Always be careful girl.
@@johnsmyth1900 maybe, but god forbid you kick, lose your balance, and fall over. Then you’re on the ground at your most vulnerable. I think it’d be better to skate away tbh.
@@adltjo8682 i more meant if they had already been knocked down, but i disagree tbh ive had to defend myself befire and i find being on your back is actually a pretty powerful position because you can kick using full force and both legs at the same time
I remember when I was practicing my roller skating too at a park. It was getting dark but it was hidden park, not a lot of people know about this park. I noticed a guy at the park, he was walking towards me, I quickly took off my skates, I didn’t even put my shoes on & I just started running to my bf’s house because his house was super close to the park. I cried because I was so scared but I was glad that I made it.
@@matashosha3942 I’m from Chicago, growing up I had my mom & my sister, I didn’t have a dad, I had a brother but he was mostly in jails for dumb stuff. I was felt uncomfortable with guys, especially when my mom & my sister taught me about how the crazy people out there, we used to watch American Most Wanted so we know who we couldn’t trust, we would talk about it, so I would know what to do. Plus they would say if you know that you’re uncomfortable & unsafe, just leave. That what I did, I didn’t want him to say hi to me because I wouldn’t say anything to him, I don’t know how he was going to take that but I remember a girl got killed because guy was catcalling her but she ignored him then he raped her & killed her. I’m 4’11 & I weight 89 pounds, I’m not going to take that chance.
I know how to roller skate (not a pro just been to the rink when i was younger lol) so i was thinking about trying to learn in-line skates! I’m gonna order them soon and can’t wait
When you are a "newbie" (I'm talking in anybodys perspective) in roller skating you are an easy target to ANYBODY. It wouldn't shock me if he was watching you to see if you were good at skating and if you could run from him. Just be aware of your surroundings people. You don't know what peoples intentions are for you! ♡
Scissors and transitions on day 8?!?! You are a goddess. I was easily on my skate for weeks before I even tried transitions while rolling and didn't learn scissors until day 65. I skate abround 1 or 2 hours everyday. You're so brave to take so many falls, it probably helped you learn a lot faster. I hardly ever fall, but because I'm so tentative, it takes me a lot longer to learn everything.
The fear of falling definitely holds me back from trying a lot of new tricks but I feel a lot safer when I'm wearing my protective gear! Thanks so much for the kind words, I've been feeling like my progress has slowed down the past few days. We all learn at a different pace and that's okay :') best of luck to you! 💞
ardita vukaj how else are you supposed to make sure u don’t die? I fell while getting the mail once and wasn’t able to catch myself with my hands cause I was on a hill and hurt myself so so so so bad i still rememebr the pain and still have the scar on my knee
@@aspenisthebest try to fall sitting or something, or if ur fine then sure use ur wrists (no hate intended :)) edit: ok don't fall sitting try to land on your knees
I apologize for some of the clips being a little laggy/glitchy, I’ve been having trouble with Adobe Premiere Pro. Hope you understand and still enjoy the video ♡
to be honest i thought the laggy clips were just a vibe you were going for and i was like, "oh yeah this looks neat!" great job on the skating progress!!
Adjust= slightly loosened the front bolts between the wheels to give movement for turning and doing freestyling 😇👌 I use to roller skate P.S. bubbles are easier with the tip above..
My mum fell of roller skates around a month ago. She’s 50 as well and she broke/dislocated her elbow and needed surgery to fix it. She said she’s not roller skating again
Lowkey 18:00 legit broke my heart a little. As a girl, I understand that feeling so much. So glad you're safe though! I'm getting my skates soon and this is actually a good random reminder for when I also film my skating too!
It’s always an eye opener as a male hearing about how safety is such a huge issue for woman. What amazes me is how y’all stick together and help each other out in those situations. I remember my first date with my wife her friends where messaging her constantly checking in :) you dealt with that situation with such intelligence good stuff.
Gurllllll, when you fall don’t put your wrist on the floor to protect you, your wrist is the most breakable part of your body! Fall on your knee it’s the best! I heard this from a professional skater on TH-cam!!!
I'd suggest watching dirty debs tutorial for falling. If you fall repeatedly on your knees you can bust them up really bad and you won't be able to skate anymore. Especially since a lot of people don't prefer to wear protective gear when casually skating.
Hey all!! Just wanted to say I apologize for not being able to respond to all of your comments! If you have any questions you'd like me to answer please head over to the community tab and leave a comment on that post. Thanks for all of the love, support, and tips!! 💖
When you want to do the bubbles backwards move both of your feet like you do when your going forward. When you think about it, it sounds hard but once you know how to do it then you will keep it. I learned the skill in one day so I didn’t have a hard time doing it but going forward for me is hard 😂. Here’s a tip for going backwards with the transitions keep ur feet opposite from each other (both feet face each other at the toes) then you go backwards while keeping ur feet like that and also put weight on ur feet so you can move
Oh girl I get that! You can never be too careful skating alone. I have a little fanny pack that I wear when I skate with pepper spray and a pocket knife. You never know! Glad you're ok!
Sorry to hear about your bad experience. I live north of Perth Western Australia and skateboard around lake Joondalup ( 17 kilometres) I have talked to young ladies and all been good , some ask directions. Australia is not free of problems but a lot less than America.. Anyway take care I tell my daughter to carry hair spray due to legality of pepper spray being seen as a weapon. Hair spray, all girls need hair spray and it's quite reasonable to have in your possession .
When you feel like you’re going to fall, lean forward a little and squat with your arms around your legs. That way when you fall you have less of a chance getting badly hurt!When you feel like you’re going to fall, lean forward a little and squat with your arms around your legs.

I can't tell you how nice it is to see someone wearing a mask with their friends and when outside, most youtubers are just going about like masks dont apply to them and seeing this is so good. Keep it up!! Skating is so hard I'm also trying to learn!
Tip! (For those who are still learning how to roller skate) If you start learning how to roller skate then do it in your house or in a rink. The floor is then more smooth. And if u mastered it then try to do it outside(if you start to try to rollerskate outside then the floor is then not really smooth and you will fall then a lot. So first do it inside and then outside!)
Please do not ever feel bad about trusting your gut when something doesn't feel right. As my favorite podcasters say (Crime Junkie), be weird, be rude and stay alive. Might sound dramatic but you can't be sure what someone's intentions are.
Day 14 - ALWAYS TRUST YOUR GUT. I am so glad you did and you shared this. I have no doubt he was there to do something to you. Don't give people the benefit of the doubt when your life is in danger - the old adage, it's better to be safe than sorry (or dead). But besides that, loved the journey of you beginning skating!
Don't ever feel uncomfortable saying you were scared of someone or something suspicious, I would have been TERRIFIED if I was in your place. We are living difficult times and some people are desperate and others are just plain letting out the evil so always be aware. Glad u are safe though! Your progress has been so inspiring and I just hope I have as much perseverance as you when I get my skates :D
Thank you for not editing out the falls. It really helps other newbies feel a bit better- it seems like everyone else edits out the falls so they look immediately perfect
Omg, you're so cute! This is the first video in learning how to roller skate that I actually like, because all the other roller skaters are pro' and they're trying to teach begginers how to skate making it look like it's easy, and getting us frustrated because we are not doing it right ,and seeing your progress makes me feel like we're not alone in falling and taking it slow. It's just great, I love it!
I love how adaptable you are, you always seem to make the best of every situation and somehow always end your practice at a point where you are satisfied with yourself!
Im scared to skate alone too, it feels sad that we feel this unsafe, had a few encounters too where they are just bad, went home and felt like crying, we can be stronger, never let them stop you💗
I went roller skating for the first time and everyone was so friggin skilled. They made it seems so easy breezy. I ended up with multiple bruises but they just make me more determined to learn to learn!!
I started skating when I was 5 I have pictures of me crying on the floor cause I fell .... but apparently I was really good for a 5 yr old yet the only thing anyone could be bothered to take a pic of was me crying
I remember watching this video when it came out. I was also starting with rollerskating and feeling bad because I wasn't progressing as fast as I wanted to. Fast forward to today, the dedication paid off, I kept practicing and the progress followed. Now I can do a backflip on the skates. To anyone watching this video, if you practice enough, you can do it too.
Can I just say, thank you for sharing! I am put a situation like this like 70% of the time when I'm skating. I'm glad you posted about this because it really brings awareness to how sketchy it can be when you are skating (particularly a girl and ALONE). You made your discomfort known and he still approached you, so do not feel bad about how you reacted.
I’m glad you followed your instinct when that guy was creeping on you. Hopefully he just wanted to steal something rather than something more horrible than that but people are gross. Never doubt yourself and never ignore that voice that tells you to leave a potentially dangerous situation 🙏🏼
We have all been where you were! And also welcome in the community of non-ice skating! Although my background is in inline skating, I hope my feedback will help you perfect your technique. 1. Posture: Although anyone naturally wants to stand tall, one has to slightly bend the knees and move the upper body forward; 2. 360-degree spins: Use your arms and shoulders for steering. I would recommend watching some figure skating tutorials on how to perform a two-feet spin; 3. Great scissors! You are starting to build your foundation prior to mastering crossovers; 4. 180-degree switch: Use your head, shoulders and, if necessary, arms to steer your body; 5. 180-degree switch part 2 (see day 10): keep knees bent after the transition. This will keep your center of gravity low; 6. Great use of the garage (day 12) for learning the c-cuts we use for skating backwards! Don't swing your arms fly in every possible direction. 7. C-cuts on day 14 and 15: Getting better!
This is super encouraging. You did so well! I just got skates too, I haven’t really tried then out tho (unless you could standing in them while I death grip the wall lol). Once I get protective gear tho I’m definitely gonna try them out 😊.
How's it going! Have you managed to get on them yet? I've just started and if I can make even half the progress this progress in 30 days, I'll be over the moon! I'm vlogging my progress too!
my day 90 looks like your day 4 :D I am a slow learner but i am soooo proud of myself for not giving up yet! You go girl, thank you for the tips and inspiration
Literally loves this video. I started skating 6 months ago at least 1x a week and I’m finally seeing progress now that I do something daily! I have to be okay with falling more but loved this journey and glad you’re safe ❤
I always thought skating was the coolest thing ever. Where I'm from there would never be any point in learning to skate. It's so cool to watch someone learning from scratch. Well done for not giving up
i'm literally watching this as i walk to a rink bc it takes me so long to get there. but u did rly good in learning transitions!! literally the amount of times u fell is relatable
@@cheunglindaa thanks!! Have you noticed literally everybody takes rollerskates as an okay to talk to you?? ppl always stop me and start talking to me and i'm like 👁👄👁
over 3 years later I just dicovered this. I just got back on skates since my preteen years. Your self deprecation and determination should be a pre requisite for all new skaters. We will all look awkward. We all will fall. But Linda shows its ok to do so. Thanks Linda!
hey, i’m writing this halfway through the video, so you might already know this by now, but bending your knees HELPS SO MUCHHH!!! i did figure skating (on wood and quads, not ice, i do ice now though) and bending your knees help you balance so much. plus, another way to stop, without a toe stop btw, though i haven’t skated on concrete and rough surfaces so it might wear down your wheel, but by dragging your foot and wheel, it’ll bring you to a stop. i hope i was helpful!! 💖
So I just wanted to say thank you, because trying to learn how to skate has been so hard! And even in the tutorial videos, all I see is videos of people who already know how to skate and I feel like everybody just figured it out except me, and I have gotten so discouraged and wanted to give up at times. Especially since I am all by myself and just teaching myself. But seeing someone learn from the beginning is really inspiring and it shows me that it’s all a process and I’m not alone!
As someone who's been skating for 3 - 5 weeks, you learned backwards skating extremely fast wow! If you want something to practise, I would recommend turning. I've found alot of people find it fun
I just got my Impala skates today, same color! Waiting to wear/ use them on Sat Dec 12 for my 56th Birthday. I want to also record my progress 😀 you’re adorable, thanks for sharing🙌💕
When your going to fall crouch down as low as you can and then if u fall it wont hurt so much also when u feal balanced just slowly get back up again!! Xxxxxxx
Geez, I'm so sorry you had that interaction with that guy. In no way were you being extreme, that guy was being suspicious af. On a brighter note: Your tenacity in learning this new skill is inspiring.
I could NOT get transition either and I legit gave up. Seeing you fall a bunch load of times has made me realize I had WAY unreasonable expectations of myself. I'm going to try it again!!! Thank you so much!
I dont usually watch roller skating videos as i got into inline skating but i think its cool to expand my understanding of skating and connect with the entirety of the community! I really love that you felt so driven to practice consistently and always have a focus going out when training. I can see how much you began to develop comfort of falling and confidence as skating often teaches. You cant learn unless youre willing to risk falling! And regards to your safety, its good you noticed and its good to be aware in regards to skating and in general. Safety is super important and im glad u noticed this before things got bad. I had times i was night skating and i had a car pull up and made a comment (that seemed a bit snarky) and drove off. Later on i see 2 cars waiting for me in the corner of the street i acknowledged the cars to indicate i notice them, and did a 180 and skater back and took a route they couldnt with cars. So definitely feel that sense of fear when youre on skates you cant fully control on wheels dealing with sketchy people. Also i guess i out myself in that situation especially since my area is pretty sketchy. But i somehow like the thrill. I skated at until 12am so ice seen some sketchy people during the night. But at the same tome its so peaceful. Hahaha be safe! Keep skating
I just started roller skating, and I totally feel you. Even though I practice alone, its just so much fun. I fall a lot and hurt myself but I feel like I am a little kid again, learning a new sport, and I think it just brings out the child in me, you know.
You have been so helpful at the beginning of my journey. I’m really glad I found your Instagram because I was following people that were already super advanced which obviously isn’t going to help me at all when learning to skate. I scroll all the way down to the bottom of your IG daily to study your movements and learn how to advance and I wanted to let you know I appreciate you posting your progress and not just the social media facade. I’m also trying to practice daily because I’m determined to get better as soon as possible and I admire your determination. You’re inspiring! 😄
I have come back to skating after 40+ years. As a child and up through my 20s I was confident on skates. In my mid 60s. Not so much. I really enjoyed watching your journey and the way you practiced specific things. Just finished part 1, heading to part 2. You have helped me a lot. Thank you for this.
@@laverna642 Do you have an IQ below 90? You do not need to wear any mask if you are alone outside. If you are wearing it for any other purpose besides for the virus you should talk to a therapist.
@@alinaj1707 wow there's no point in talking to someone ignorant like you you're always gonna think you're right gl with that hope YOU talk to a therapist
I learned in a week. Mind you my ass was broken. Well bady bruised. I was in my race team in a year but I have always been a stubbornly determined learner at everything I want to achieve.
I remember skating so much as a kid. Looking at all the skills now, idk why I have any memory of falling. I haven’t skated since fifth grade. I’m excited to see if I can remember everything
I used to spend my time at the rink when I was a kid, and I don't ever remember falling. I used to be fast, too! But man, I just got some skates as an adult, and it's a totally different ballgame! I'm only 5'4" and I feel like I'm 8 feet tall when I'm on my skates. It's totally different when you're so much further off the ground from when you're a kid! 🤣
Never apologize for feeling uncomfortable when your alone and someone is there making you feel uncomfortable , you did all the right things. Your alive and safe. Enjoying your progress
Roller skating was literally my childhood. I haven’t done it in a very long time now. It’s honestly weird to see someone struggling with rolling forward because it comes so naturally to me. I can’t even remember the time when I wasn’t stable on roller skates, because I must have been like 4 years old. But anyways, you’ve made great progress. You look elegant on roller skates!
Girl, you NEED to wear a helmet. I don’t care if it looks weird, you need one. I’ve been skating for 5 years and my helmet has absolutely saved me multiple times. Not trying to be mean, but from the intro it looks like you fall a lot. Especially as a beginner, you need one. As I get older i tend to wear it less, but I almost always wear it. Plus, you can decorate your helmet with a bunch of cute stickers. You need to wear a helmet. Sorry for being kinda mean, but there are so many people (especially girls) who just want to look cute and throw safety aside. Not saying u are one of those girls :)
@@lovelyselly yea no that’s not really something you’d say in a situation like this one pmfao, they just want to give her a tip on how to stay safer, and it’s true helmets do kee you safer and can prevent more injuries.
@@thdis_9235 meh, you can’t convince everyone to be safe. Though, having puffy hair isn’t a excuses for not wearing a helmet. Enjoy the snowy weather :)
I know this was months ago but girl, that dude makin you feel uncomfortable? Don’t ever feel bad that you’re being suspicious and assuming - as they say on MFM, “F*** politeness.” You can always apologize later for protecting yourself. It’s not assuming or being suspicious of there’s evidence of that happening to tons of other people. I’m so glad you listened to your instincts and kept yourself safe!!!
I watched your video and I felt I get a support, cause everybody told I should stop not your thing cause I fell butt on the ground over and over. Thank you to show your progress to us
When I learned how to backwards skate, I sprained both my ankles. I did not let that stop me. I had to wrap both ankles with ace bandages before each skating session. It took about 3 months for the sprains to heal. I kept skating the entire time. By the time my ankles healed I was very comfortable with turning around and skating backwards. I love this video. Thanks for doing this series.
You raised a very good point about the creepy guy situation. I imagine it would be very difficult to escape from a dangerous encounter while wearing the roller skates, especially for beginners. You create awareness. Thanks 😊
I haven’t skated in a long time and I used to roller blade like your friend and not quad skate. It was something I would do with my mom I really want to get roller skates but not gonna lie I’m super embarrassed to skate publicly. I live on an overseas military base all the roads are SUPER SUPER smooth, perfect for skating, there is even a small skate park that like no one uses. But military wives are super judgy and I’m afraid of someone calling me out for it.
I’ve been skating for a few days ( 5 days ) now, and I’m still using that trainer thing. Thankfully I haven’t broke any limbs yet, though i fall a lot 😅. Even though i run somewhat very fast.. i can’t get the hang of it quite yet. Im addicted to rollerskating now, and i hope i can stop using the training thing. I know this was 2 years ago, and I’m watching this two years later. Watching this video gave me motivation and confidence, Thank you.
Can I just say I love love LOVE the men in the comments section saying how women are valid in feeling unsafe in these types of situations and how men know not to approach women alone. I'm literally so proud of this comment section.
Damn great progress, more than I did in 2 months but I’m taking it slower, finally getting the hang of backwards better but still not smooth and can’t turn
I came across this video now since I just got roller skates for my birthday so I’m watching a ton of videos first. Thank you for sharing your experience and as a girl you are never being extreme for watching out for yourself! Thanks for posting your challenges and your progress!
Thank you for actually showing how many times you actually fell unlike some of these other "learning to skate in 30 days" videos. You can tell they either arent beginners and are taking back up skating or they left out all the falls and just showed the slight off balances they had. I'm actually a BEGINNER BEGINNER, never had skates in my life even as a kid. I fell and still do fall soooo much, but it's fun learning!
And I also learned I'm left foot dominate while practicing transitioning from forward to backward skating 😂💯 I cant balance on my right leg for shiiiit.
I'm so glad that this was on my recomended because, i really want to try roller skating again, i roller skated when i was young, so this was a good video to watch too, whatching someone do these things are great especially when that person improves on his/her newly learned skills...
I just got my roller skates from Impala slates yesterday and came across your page yesterday evening! I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate you for posting your progress. I’m excited to start my journey and you’ve already given me so much to look forward to (:
I would’ve laid on the horn! Creepy ppl need wake up calls lol it’s NOT socially acceptable to approach someone especially when they are alone like that without others around. Love this video and can’t wait to learn how to skate! 🙌🏼
I used to roller blade(in line) with my best friend when we were kids but I never tried roller skating. I'm 22 now and have a wild hair up my ass to learn lol
So I’m coming to this video straight from the park where I fell SO many times and I’m feeling like a total idiot right now. I have been athletic most of my life. I was a dancer. I’m fine with the occasional ice skating. I used to rollerblade as a kid. But holy shit, why is roller skating SO hard?!? I don’t think I’ve ever fallen so much in my adult life. All that to say, thank you so much for posting this video and showing your own falls. I was getting so frustrated and feeling so silly. Especially because the “how to” videos I watched made it look so easy and wasn’t showing people falling on their ass. It made me wonder what the hell I was doing wrong. But your video gave me back some confidence that I can fall a bunch but hopefully get better.
i used to skate every weekend in middle school, and then i just stopped. today 10+ years later i started and my goodness i almost forgot how fun it is. im so excited to continue this journey. thank you for this video! its so helpful!
I have a tip that helped me a lot when learning how to rollerskate: If you feel yourself starting to fall, lower youself down to the ground, do whatever it is that you want like sitting, bending, or just full on stoping and sitting down. I hope this helps! Good Luck!
I love how she never give up, even if she hurts herself, she never gives up! This give me so much motivation for later today, (im going roller skating later)
Omg it was yOUUUU! I’m from Mexico and visited Arcadia CA last year in summer and I saw you a couple times in a park idk in what city, but I got really pumped up to start roller skating when watching you try and try. I can’t really order from here and they’re quite pricy for minimum pay here but I will not give up and will learn to roller skate! Thank you for this video, you did amazing it’s crazy how much you learned in just 15 days
I completely feel you, I feel THE most vulnerable when I’m skating alone because I feel like I’m an easy target all unstable and unable to get away. Always be careful girl.
Thank you, stay safe out there!! 💞

It’s actually easier on carpet and floor than kitchen floors... I learned the hard way 😂
When you are a "newbie" (I'm talking in anybodys perspective) in roller skating you are an easy target to ANYBODY. It wouldn't shock me if he was watching you to see if you were good at skating and if you could run from him. Just be aware of your surroundings people. You don't know what peoples intentions are for you! ♡
Women are NEVERRRRR “extreme” for being cautious about men. Love you and thanks for sharing your journey and these stories 💗
So women are incapable of being paranoid? Not saying don't trust your gut, definitely do. But get real.
Scissors and transitions on day 8?!?! You are a goddess. I was easily on my skate for weeks before I even tried transitions while rolling and didn't learn scissors until day 65.

I apologize for some of the clips being a little laggy/glitchy, I’ve been having trouble with Adobe Premiere Pro. Hope you understand and still enjoy the video ♡
to be honest i thought the laggy clips were just a vibe you were going for and i was like, "oh yeah this looks neat!" great job on the skating progress!!
@Emily Clough same
Adjust= slightly loosened the front bolts between the wheels to give movement for turning and doing freestyling 😇👌
I use to roller skate
P.S. bubbles are easier with the tip above..
Try standing in a T shape/ skates together with knees slightly bent, good tip while mingling with friends before take off
Watch ice skating some moves are similar 😊
Happy rolling 🥰
I fell three times yesterday! I’m 50! The last fall I went into a split! So scary ! Keep at it sweetie!
I hope you're alright! Thank you for the support I will keep at it I hope you will as well 💖
Girl I am in the 50 club, too! Skate on, friend!!💕💕🙌🏻
Same. 50 club and took a hard fall yesterday. Baby steps and lots of practice.
@@angieandre It shook my confidence when I fell super hard backwards, but I keep it pushin!
My mum fell of roller skates around a month ago. She’s 50 as well and she broke/dislocated her elbow and needed surgery to fix it. She said she’s not roller skating again
Lowkey 18:00 legit broke my heart a little. As a girl, I understand that feeling so much. So glad you're safe though! I'm getting my skates soon and this is actually a good random reminder for when I also film my skating too!
It’s always an eye opener as a male hearing about how safety is such a huge issue for woman. What amazes me is how y’all stick together and help each other out in those situations. I remember my first date with my wife her friends where messaging her constantly checking in :) you dealt with that situation with such intelligence good stuff.
Gurllllll, when you fall don’t put your wrist on the floor to protect you, your wrist is the most breakable part of your body! Fall on your knee it’s the best! I heard this from a professional skater on TH-cam!!!
My currently fractured wrist can back this up ☹
I'd suggest watching dirty debs tutorial for falling. If you fall repeatedly on your knees you can bust them up really bad and you won't be able to skate anymore. Especially since a lot of people don't prefer to wear protective gear when casually skating.
It looks like she is wearing wrist guards
I’m so scared for her head, she doesn’t have a helmet! :0
yep the wrist has a lot of bones u can break
Hey all!! Just wanted to say I apologize for not being able to respond to all of your comments! If you have any questions you'd like me to answer please head over to the community tab and leave a comment on that post. Thanks for all of the love, support, and tips!! 💖
I hate u cuz u say what the f*ck
When you want to do the bubbles backwards move both of your feet like you do when your going forward. When you think about it, it sounds hard but once you know how to do it then you will keep it. I learned the skill in one day so I didn’t have a hard time doing it but going forward for me is hard 😂. Here’s a tip for going backwards with the transitions keep ur feet opposite from each other (both feet face each other at the toes) then you go backwards while keeping ur feet like that and also put weight on ur feet so you can move
@@vlogswwada bruh you just said it so you basically hate ppl who say wtf-
I recommend watching some of Indy Jamma Jones skating backwards
But also the C’s that your doing while going backwards helps a lot too
Oh girl I get that! You can never be too careful skating alone. I have a little fanny pack that I wear when I skate with pepper spray and a pocket knife. You never know! Glad you're ok!
Thank you so much!! I also now carry pepper spray in my Fanny pack 😭 take care! 💗
Good idea. Thanks.
Sorry to hear about your bad experience. I live north of Perth Western Australia and skateboard around lake Joondalup ( 17 kilometres) I have talked to young ladies and all been good , some ask directions. Australia is not free of problems but a lot less than America.. Anyway take care I tell my daughter to carry hair spray due to legality of pepper spray being seen as a weapon. Hair spray, all girls need hair spray and it's quite reasonable to have in your possession .
That’s a great idea to carry like weapons with you!
Same, I carry a stun gun, pepper spray and a knife.
When you feel like you’re going to fall, lean forward a little and squat with your arms around your legs. That way when you fall you have less of a chance getting badly hurt!When you feel like you’re going to fall, lean forward a little and squat with your arms around your legs.

I can't tell you how nice it is to see someone wearing a mask with their friends and when outside, most youtubers are just going about like masks dont apply to them and seeing this is so good. Keep it up!! Skating is so hard I'm also trying to learn!
This is The most stupid comment I’ve ever seen .
Tip! (For those who are still learning how to roller skate)
If you start learning how to roller skate then do it in your house or in a rink. The floor is then more smooth. And if u mastered it then try to do it outside(if you start to try to rollerskate outside then the floor is then not really smooth and you will fall then a lot. So first do it inside and then outside!)
If I start to roller skate in my house, my mother is gonna kick me out of the house 😭😂 but thanks for the tips!
Gabrielle 👌
Some of us dont have homes big enough to roll bro ahah
Jordy13 Xoxo just skate around the house and do it over and over again till you get the ropes
I don't have enough space to do much indoors, and no roller rink near enough to go to.
Please do not ever feel bad about trusting your gut when something doesn't feel right. As my favorite podcasters say (Crime Junkie), be weird, be rude and stay alive. Might sound dramatic but you can't be sure what someone's intentions are.
I literally act wild. Start yelling about do they wanna die today and shit. Im disabled and taking no chances
Fuck politeness! As my favorite murder would say.
Day 14 - ALWAYS TRUST YOUR GUT. I am so glad you did and you shared this. I have no doubt he was there to do something to you. Don't give people the benefit of the doubt when your life is in danger - the old adage, it's better to be safe than sorry (or dead).
But besides that, loved the journey of you beginning skating!
yes!!! trusting your gut saves lives
Don't ever feel uncomfortable saying you were scared of someone or something suspicious, I would have been TERRIFIED if I was in your place. We are living difficult times and some people are desperate and others are just plain letting out the evil so always be aware.
Glad u are safe though!
Your progress has been so inspiring and I just hope I have as much perseverance as you when I get my skates :D
Thank you for not editing out the falls. It really helps other newbies feel a bit better- it seems like everyone else edits out the falls so they look immediately perfect
I love how she gave a shoutout to Dirty Deb that’s frigging amazing
Omg, you're so cute! This is the first video in learning how to roller skate that I actually like, because all the other roller skaters are pro' and they're trying to teach begginers how to skate making it look like it's easy, and getting us frustrated because we are not doing it right ,and seeing your progress makes me feel like we're not alone in falling and taking it slow. It's just great, I love it!
I love how adaptable you are, you always seem to make the best of every situation and somehow always end your practice at a point where you are satisfied with yourself!
i just started skating too! we have the same goals i think. i just wanna have fun and look confident and graceful on skates :)
Best of luck to you on your journey!! We’ll be skating super stars in no time 😍
I just order my impalas! Im so glad there's so many girls getting into it 🥰
Im scared to skate alone too, it feels sad that we feel this unsafe, had a few encounters too where they are just bad, went home and felt like crying, we can be stronger, never let them stop you💗
I went roller skating for the first time and everyone was so friggin skilled. They made it seems so easy breezy. I ended up with multiple bruises but they just make me more determined to learn to learn!!
Your dedication is just *chef's kiss * I wish I had a friend to skate with. Makes everything more fun.
Linda: “I watched a bunch of tutorials and it really helped”
Me: **cries in rollerblades**
THISSSS. have you found any helpful channels yet? :)♡
Your profile 💀💀💀💀 Gojo Ramsay
They say inline skates are easier. At least my dad says so
I started skating when I was 5 I have pictures of me crying on the floor cause I fell .... but apparently I was really good for a 5 yr old yet the only thing anyone could be bothered to take a pic of was me crying
Did y’all see the part when she fell and it was glitched lol it scared me
LMAO yep
I thought it was my phone 😂
I thought it was just me
LMAO, i replayed that part to make sure it wasnt just me
I remember watching this video when it came out. I was also starting with rollerskating and feeling bad because I wasn't progressing as fast as I wanted to. Fast forward to today, the dedication paid off, I kept practicing and the progress followed. Now I can do a backflip on the skates. To anyone watching this video, if you practice enough, you can do it too.
Can I just say, thank you for sharing! I am put a situation like this like 70% of the time when I'm skating. I'm glad you posted about this because it really brings awareness to how sketchy it can be when you are skating (particularly a girl and ALONE). You made your discomfort known and he still approached you, so do not feel bad about how you reacted.
Im 26 and im going to learn finally its decided!
Me too! I'm turning 27 in a few months and I wanna learn it so bad. Good luck to you!
Im 26 too, my skate rollers are on the way, bought it online and i cant waittt.. hope i dont break some bones 🤣
I’m glad you followed your instinct when that guy was creeping on you. Hopefully he just wanted to steal something rather than something more horrible than that but people are gross. Never doubt yourself and never ignore that voice that tells you to leave a potentially dangerous situation 🙏🏼
We have all been where you were! And also welcome in the community of non-ice skating! Although my background is in inline skating, I hope my feedback will help you perfect your technique.
1. Posture: Although anyone naturally wants to stand tall, one has to slightly bend the knees and move the upper body forward;
2. 360-degree spins: Use your arms and shoulders for steering. I would recommend watching some figure skating tutorials on how to perform a two-feet spin;
3. Great scissors! You are starting to build your foundation prior to mastering crossovers;
4. 180-degree switch: Use your head, shoulders and, if necessary, arms to steer your body;
5. 180-degree switch part 2 (see day 10): keep knees bent after the transition. This will keep your center of gravity low;
6. Great use of the garage (day 12) for learning the c-cuts we use for skating backwards! Don't swing your arms fly in every possible direction.
7. C-cuts on day 14 and 15: Getting better!
Better to sound extreme and like you said better safe than sorry.
💗
💯
This is super encouraging. You did so well! I just got skates too, I haven’t really tried then out tho (unless you could standing in them while I death grip the wall lol). Once I get protective gear tho I’m definitely gonna try them out 😊.
The protective gear definitely makes me feel safer while I’m on skates 😂 thank you so much and I can’t wait for you to start skating too!! 💗
How's it going! Have you managed to get on them yet? I've just started and if I can make even half the progress this progress in 30 days, I'll be over the moon! I'm vlogging my progress too!
I love everything about this video.
1. Although you had fear you spoke confidence into yourself.
I love it
my day 90 looks like your day 4 :D I am a slow learner but i am soooo proud of myself for not giving up yet! You go girl, thank you for the tips and inspiration
Literally loves this video. I started skating 6 months ago at least 1x a week and I’m finally seeing progress now that I do something daily! I have to be okay with falling more but loved this journey and glad you’re safe ❤
I always thought skating was the coolest thing ever. Where I'm from there would never be any point in learning to skate. It's so cool to watch someone learning from scratch. Well done for not giving up
i'm literally watching this as i walk to a rink bc it takes me so long to get there. but u did rly good in learning transitions!! literally the amount of times u fell is relatable
Have a good skate today!! 💞
@@cheunglindaa thanks!! Have you noticed literally everybody takes rollerskates as an okay to talk to you?? ppl always stop me and start talking to me and i'm like 👁👄👁
@@ivy2353 😂😂😂 yes I noticed that when I went to skate at the beach yesterday it was so funny I react the same way!!
I ordered my first set of skates last night, and watching these videos is making me so excited to get out there I might cry
over 3 years later I just dicovered this. I just got back on skates since my preteen years. Your self deprecation and determination should be a pre requisite for all new skaters. We will all look awkward. We all will fall. But Linda shows its ok to do so. Thanks Linda!
I’m learning how to roller skate, my mom was in roller derby and I’m growing an addiction for roller skating! Keep up the good work.
Love the fact you show your falls and your triumphs. It shows your progression.
hey, i’m writing this halfway through the video, so you might already know this by now, but bending your knees HELPS SO MUCHHH!!! i did figure skating (on wood and quads, not ice, i do ice now though) and bending your knees help you balance so much. plus, another way to stop, without a toe stop btw, though i haven’t skated on concrete and rough surfaces so it might wear down your wheel, but by dragging your foot and wheel, it’ll bring you to a stop. i hope i was helpful!! 💖
tysm! I'm a beginner and I think this is useful info that others can find useful as well!
So I just wanted to say thank you, because trying to learn how to skate has been so hard! And even in the tutorial videos, all I see is videos of people who already know how to skate and I feel like everybody just figured it out except me, and I have gotten so discouraged and wanted to give up at times. Especially since I am all by myself and just teaching myself. But seeing someone learn from the beginning is really inspiring and it shows me that it’s all a process and I’m not alone!
You are definitely not alone!! I'm here learning with ya! 💞
i’m so glad you found something you love and are sooo freakin’ dedicated to it 🥺 u r my motivationnnnn 😌
Jenny Tang love you!! More beach skating pls
I love this! I also just got skates early October and have been practicing a few times a week but you give me motivation to practice every day!
So happy to hear so many people are just starting to learn too!! 😍💗
As someone who's been skating for 3 - 5 weeks, you learned backwards skating extremely fast wow! If you want something to practise, I would recommend turning. I've found alot of people find it fun
I just got my Impala skates today, same color! Waiting to wear/ use them on Sat Dec 12 for my 56th Birthday. I want to also record my progress 😀 you’re adorable, thanks for sharing🙌💕
When your going to fall crouch down as low as you can and then if u fall it wont hurt so much also when u feal balanced just slowly get back up again!! Xxxxxxx
Geez, I'm so sorry you had that interaction with that guy. In no way were you being extreme, that guy was being suspicious af.
On a brighter note: Your tenacity in learning this new skill is inspiring.
I could NOT get transition either and I legit gave up. Seeing you fall a bunch load of times has made me realize I had WAY unreasonable expectations of myself. I'm going to try it again!!! Thank you so much!
I dont usually watch roller skating videos as i got into inline skating but i think its cool to expand my understanding of skating and connect with the entirety of the community! I really love that you felt so driven to practice consistently and always have a focus going out when training. I can see how much you began to develop comfort of falling and confidence as skating often teaches. You cant learn unless youre willing to risk falling! And regards to your safety, its good you noticed and its good to be aware in regards to skating and in general. Safety is super important and im glad u noticed this before things got bad. I had times i was night skating and i had a car pull up and made a comment (that seemed a bit snarky) and drove off. Later on i see 2 cars waiting for me in the corner of the street i acknowledged the cars to indicate i notice them, and did a 180 and skater back and took a route they couldnt with cars. So definitely feel that sense of fear when youre on skates you cant fully control on wheels dealing with sketchy people. Also i guess i out myself in that situation especially since my area is pretty sketchy. But i somehow like the thrill. I skated at until 12am so ice seen some sketchy people during the night. But at the same tome its so peaceful. Hahaha be safe! Keep skating
I just started getting into skating and broke my arm!!! I’m 37 and didn’t wear pads. People don’t be like me. Now I’m watching these videos as I heal
I just started roller skating, and I totally feel you. Even though I practice alone, its just so much fun. I fall a lot and hurt myself but I feel like I am a little kid again, learning a new sport, and I think it just brings out the child in me, you know.
You have been so helpful at the beginning of my journey. I’m really glad I found your Instagram because I was following people that were already super advanced which obviously isn’t going to help me at all when learning to skate. I scroll all the way down to the bottom of your IG daily to study your movements and learn how to advance and I wanted to let you know I appreciate you posting your progress and not just the social media facade. I’m also trying to practice daily because I’m determined to get better as soon as possible and I admire your determination. You’re inspiring! 😄
I have come back to skating after 40+ years. As a child and up through my 20s I was confident on skates. In my mid 60s. Not so much. I really enjoyed watching your journey and the way you practiced specific things. Just finished part 1, heading to part 2. You have helped me a lot. Thank you for this.
I love a queen that wears a mask even when outside alone. I wear mine all the time now. I feel less anxiety about just being in public
Why would you wear it if no one is around you?
@@alinaj1707 better safe than sorry and they explained it helps with anxiety 🤦🏽♀️
@@laverna642 Do you have an IQ below 90? You do not need to wear any mask if you are alone outside. If you are wearing it for any other purpose besides for the virus you should talk to a therapist.
@@alinaj1707 wow there's no point in talking to someone ignorant like you you're always gonna think you're right gl with that hope YOU talk to a therapist
@@laverna642 Well show me a scientific study that says you should wear a mask at all times even when alone.
I learned in a week. Mind you my ass was broken. Well bady bruised. I was in my race team in a year but I have always been a stubbornly determined learner at everything I want to achieve.
I remember skating so much as a kid. Looking at all the skills now, idk why I have any memory of falling. I haven’t skated since fifth grade. I’m excited to see if I can remember everything
Omg same, but I'm scared cause i used to Roller blade and now i want to buy Roller skates
I used to spend my time at the rink when I was a kid, and I don't ever remember falling. I used to be fast, too!
But man, I just got some skates as an adult, and it's a totally different ballgame! I'm only 5'4" and I feel like I'm 8 feet tall when I'm on my skates. It's totally different when you're so much further off the ground from when you're a kid! 🤣
Never apologize for feeling uncomfortable when your alone and someone is there making you feel uncomfortable , you did all the right things. Your alive and safe. Enjoying your progress
Roller skating was literally my childhood. I haven’t done it in a very long time now. It’s honestly weird to see someone struggling with rolling forward because it comes so naturally to me. I can’t even remember the time when I wasn’t stable on roller skates, because I must have been like 4 years old. But anyways, you’ve made great progress. You look elegant on roller skates!
Girl, you NEED to wear a helmet. I don’t care if it looks weird, you need one. I’ve been skating for 5 years and my helmet has absolutely saved me multiple times. Not trying to be mean, but from the intro it looks like you fall a lot. Especially as a beginner, you need one. As I get older i tend to wear it less, but I almost always wear it. Plus, you can decorate your helmet with a bunch of cute stickers. You need to wear a helmet. Sorry for being kinda mean, but there are so many people (especially girls) who just want to look cute and throw safety aside. Not saying u are one of those girls :)
Her body, her choice
@@lovelyselly yea no that’s not really something you’d say in a situation like this one pmfao, they just want to give her a tip on how to stay safer, and it’s true helmets do kee you safer and can prevent more injuries.
I have big puffy natural hair I’m not going to style it everyday sorry 😭
@@thdis_9235 meh, you can’t convince everyone to be safe. Though, having puffy hair isn’t a excuses for not wearing a helmet. Enjoy the snowy weather :)
@@lovelyselly thats fine. I just won’t care when she falls and gets a concussion :)
I know this was months ago but girl, that dude makin you feel uncomfortable? Don’t ever feel bad that you’re being suspicious and assuming - as they say on MFM, “F*** politeness.” You can always apologize later for protecting yourself. It’s not assuming or being suspicious of there’s evidence of that happening to tons of other people. I’m so glad you listened to your instincts and kept yourself safe!!!
I watched your video and I felt I get a support, cause everybody told I should stop not your thing cause I fell butt on the ground over and over. Thank you to show your progress to us
When I learned how to backwards skate, I sprained both my ankles. I did not let that stop me. I had to wrap both ankles with ace bandages before each skating session. It took about 3 months for the sprains to heal. I kept skating the entire time. By the time my ankles healed I was very comfortable with turning around and skating backwards. I love this video. Thanks for doing this series.
You raised a very good point about the creepy guy situation. I imagine it would be very difficult to escape from a dangerous encounter while wearing the roller skates, especially for beginners. You create awareness. Thanks 😊
I haven’t skated in a long time and I used to roller blade like your friend and not quad skate. It was something I would do with my mom I really want to get roller skates but not gonna lie I’m super embarrassed to skate publicly. I live on an overseas military base all the roads are SUPER SUPER smooth, perfect for skating, there is even a small skate park that like no one uses. But military wives are super judgy and I’m afraid of someone calling me out for it.
As long as you’re not breaking any rules I hope you find the courage to get out there and skate one day 💗💗
You shouldn’t care about what other ppl say you do you and your, your own person no one tell be in charge of you! 💗
@@jay.631 Thank you! It’s definitely something I have struggled with since being young but I’m definitely working on it! I appreciate the motivation.
I love that you’re still wearing a mask!!
I’ve been skating for a few days ( 5 days ) now, and I’m still using that trainer thing. Thankfully I haven’t broke any limbs yet, though i fall a lot 😅. Even though i run somewhat very fast.. i can’t get the hang of it quite yet. Im addicted to rollerskating now, and i hope i can stop using the training thing. I know this was 2 years ago, and I’m watching this two years later. Watching this video gave me motivation and confidence, Thank you.
I just got my own pair of rollerskates this past week! I'm so beyond exciting to go on this journey!!!
You were perfectly rational and justified for being afraid of that man I’m really glad you stayed safe !
Can I just say I love love LOVE the men in the comments section saying how women are valid in feeling unsafe in these types of situations and how men know not to approach women alone. I'm literally so proud of this comment section.
Damn great progress, more than I did in 2 months but I’m taking it slower, finally getting the hang of backwards better but still not smooth and can’t turn
thanks so much!! I’m still working on looking smoother too, you got this!!! We both got this 😊💗
I came across this video now since I just got roller skates for my birthday so I’m watching a ton of videos first. Thank you for sharing your experience and as a girl you are never being extreme for watching out for yourself! Thanks for posting your challenges and your progress!
Thank you for actually showing how many times you actually fell unlike some of these other "learning to skate in 30 days" videos. You can tell they either arent beginners and are taking back up skating or they left out all the falls and just showed the slight off balances they had. I'm actually a BEGINNER BEGINNER, never had skates in my life even as a kid. I fell and still do fall soooo much, but it's fun learning!
And I also learned I'm left foot dominate while practicing transitioning from forward to backward skating 😂💯 I cant balance on my right leg for shiiiit.
I'm so glad that this was on my recomended because, i really want to try roller skating again, i roller skated when i was young, so this was a good video to watch too, whatching someone do these things are great especially when that person improves on his/her newly learned skills...
Day 12 practicing in the garage is great for transitioning. You can use that method while in motion to transition into backward skating or spins!
I am 59 years old and I have taken 2 lessons. This is difficult and I just want to say you are an inspiration and have given me a lot of hope.
I am brazilian and I think I should tell you that "linda" means "beautiful" in portuguese
💖
I just got my roller skates from Impala slates yesterday and came across your page yesterday evening! I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate you for posting your progress. I’m excited to start my journey and you’ve already given me so much to look forward to (:
I would’ve laid on the horn! Creepy ppl need wake up calls lol it’s NOT socially acceptable to approach someone especially when they are alone like that without others around. Love this video and can’t wait to learn how to skate! 🙌🏼
But then what if he had a gun … 😬 and reacted 🤷🏽♀️
I love this!! You did so well!! How long were you practicing daily?
I used to roller blade(in line) with my best friend when we were kids but I never tried roller skating. I'm 22 now and have a wild hair up my ass to learn lol
So I’m coming to this video straight from the park where I fell SO many times and I’m feeling like a total idiot right now. I have been athletic most of my life. I was a dancer. I’m fine with the occasional ice skating. I used to rollerblade as a kid. But holy shit, why is roller skating SO hard?!? I don’t think I’ve ever fallen so much in my adult life. All that to say, thank you so much for posting this video and showing your own falls. I was getting so frustrated and feeling so silly. Especially because the “how to” videos I watched made it look so easy and wasn’t showing people falling on their ass. It made me wonder what the hell I was doing wrong. But your video gave me back some confidence that I can fall a bunch but hopefully get better.
I am not athletic and never did dance never skate before. I fall hard as well. I think skate it's just a wild horse.
I love watching these videos because you should never give up. Also I got them and it was hard but then it was a bit easier. NEVER GIVE UP!
i used to skate every weekend in middle school, and then i just stopped. today 10+ years later i started and my goodness i almost forgot how fun it is. im so excited to continue this journey.
thank you for this video! its so helpful!
LOVE THIS VIDEO! YOUR PROGRESS GIVES ME HOPE! Keep it up, girl! Looking awesome by week 2
I have a tip that helped me a lot when learning how to rollerskate: If you feel yourself starting to fall, lower youself down to the ground, do whatever it is that you want like sitting, bending, or just full on stoping and sitting down. I hope this helps! Good Luck!
I used to skate when I was little. Now I am relearning because GURL ! It’s not like riding a bike.😂
I remember skating in middle school. I was damm good at it. Thinking about getting back into it.🤔
I’m surprised you’ve never been skating before!!! At my school every year we would go to the roller rink on the last day of school lol
I love how she never give up, even if she hurts herself, she never gives up! This give me so much motivation for later today, (im going roller skating later)
I've just recently bought myself a pair of skates for my birthday and really want to learn. I'm taking this as my sign to start learning 🥰
Omg it was yOUUUU! I’m from Mexico and visited Arcadia CA last year in summer and I saw you a couple times in a park idk in what city, but I got really pumped up to start roller skating when watching you try and try. I can’t really order from here and they’re quite pricy for minimum pay here but I will not give up and will learn to roller skate! Thank you for this video, you did amazing it’s crazy how much you learned in just 15 days
