Thanks son. I'm 72, havent' skated since age 17, maybe some random ice rink in there. Taking the grandkids and making a fool. This is the most helpful guidance I have seen so far. Nicely done.
If TH-cam video had been out back in the late 70's we could have said everything you just talked about, I'm 58 and we learned about all this on the fly.
Super validating that everything you suggested is everything I'm already doing (with the exception of calf raises, which I'll probably start doing now since my ankles need all the help they can get). I was watching this while switching out my wheels sooo time to go to the park.
@@Sk8Fam going on 10 months now, beginner skaters are starting to ask me for advice and copy me at the rink, I'm so happy with the progress I've made. I'm one of the ones who sings and claps and does whatever I feel, no room for shyness in my life, and it makes me happy that it's inspirational for baby deer skaters.
Great advice and thanks for talking about falling. I fall and people act so terrified. I mean I am in full protective gear, lol. Honestly, it gives me the adrenalin to get back up and keep trying whatever I am doing.
What you're talking about at 2:30 is exactly what I'm doing right now with my setup. I started on $100 skates with the stock hybrid wheels, as soon as I started skating outside I bought outdoor wheels and a set of good bearings. A few months later when I could recognize how my rink skating style was evolving I bought a set of harder wheels and better bearings for them than the shit stock bearings. Now 5 months later I'm ready to get a new plate, which I'll get used to while I save for new boots. I can't afford the $800 setup I want right now so I'm breaking it down as I go.
I really enjoy your content! I’m a beginner skater and I skate parks, and outdoors as well but I have so much more to learn about our culture and styles across the country in rink skating! I love it😍
Nice imagery in video as well as knowledgeable content. Really like what you said about practice with no skates on and shifting body weight, Took me a long while to figure that one out. Thanks for vid!!!
You think you could make some POV videos of you skating around the rink doing some of the basic JB moves? Just videos of your legs and feet at a medium or slow pace. It will make some of us feel like we are skating with you and I can learn the moves better. I am also trying to learn the edges of the skates so I can understand how the skates respond to certain moves. Thanks !
I fell when I first got in the rink yesterday because I was really relaxed and I clipped wheels together and fell on my left knee. It was cool though because I I never feel that relaxed, I was really comfortable with my weight and I guess that it was a sign of me being less stiff. It made me think we'll at least i know how to fall and get up comfortably. Yeah! I finally did crossover turn properly. I usually just relied on my trucks and would lean to turn but I wanted to turn quicker. Love you videos, wonderful explanations.
Much respect.👍🏿 I'm taking off the roller blades and bout to start my roller skating journey. Keep posting, people like me appreciate the advice. Peace.
That calf raise advice is so good. When I started skating really hard I noticed I would get the worst shin splints! How am I just now finding your channel?! I wish I could make it out to Milwaukee or Chicago there are so many awesome skaters and skate venues out there. Madison is sorely lacking. I’ve been frantically looking for a local roller dance group, no go. It’s like, here, if you don’t want to do the derby thing and for the most learn how to try to hit people who are on skates while you’re on skates without falling. They have an introductory skating class but I outgrew that half way through the class. I’m not trying to shit on the league, those people taught me a SHIT TON about skating, gear, safely falling, upkeep of equipment (maybe not so much but that’s fine with me I know how to maintenance my skates for the most part). I want to feel more comfortable working with the plate itself but that’s for another day. Also, they have a bunch of talented skaters but teaching people how to skate is another ball of wax. Sorry for venting, you’re a super talented skater. I know my husbands gonna dig watching your content, he loves the footwork stuff. It would just be cool to have more of a skating community. Like I park skate but even that is heavily influenced by the derby in Madison. I’m not PC enough for them. It’s funny, too, because these women preach inclusivity but I saw very few faces like mine there or people who didn’t think like them. I’m just a sad and broke skating outcast 😢😭😤😭😭😪🤧🙄 ok I think I’m done.
We would love to have you here in Milwaukee lol. Welcome ya with open arms and every here is into helping others and teaching. We really have a skate scene where we want reveryone to be good, and I remember when I was little it awasnt always the case. So I am glad it has changed some. & Yea the skate scene is wayyy dif in Madison. To each is own, I like derby too. But I like soulful places better if you know what I mean lol. I appreciate the sub, and if possible you should go to independence roll in chicago next year! Its a huge 3 day event but one or two days is perfectly fine. Esp the JB night which I think is the sunday
Milwaukee24 Sk8Fam oh my gawd, that’s such a great idea! Thank you! Close enough that we could for sure make it, if we plan it out right. Additionally, I was totally right about your channel and my husband. I saw his eyes light up and we went off talking about skating stuff. It’s gonna be fun to watch together.
Im so happy I found your videos, I kept looking up certain skating videos, and it seems like there are no black channels and I wanna learn from the best!!❤️
I was 12 when I skated last, I picked it back up at 43… So I told my buddy blamed that the muscle memory was off and that something happened to the environment, as the gravitational pull has doubled since then :)
@@rlcarrcarr3095 doesnt too much matter, reds are what is populer here. long as its a bearing with the plastic seal and not the completely metal bearing lol
i would go with rollerbones, the ones that are 101a as far as hardness. they also got some that are either 95a or 97a, some sure grip ones that are 95a n 97a, and they got some varsity wheels that are pretty good, but me personally i would go with the roller bones, or 2nd choice is varsity wheels. softer wheels will grip the floor harder, so u roll slower and legs are more tired. so i would go 98a or higher. preferably 101a. radar riva wheels are super cheap but idk anyone who has them so idk if they are worth it lol.
Wht up Sk8 Fam been following your Vidz-Thanks for this one and Even though its like almost 3 yrs old Lol none less very good advice and on Point as usual no doubt..! ;-)
House is a style that originated n ny its basically freestyle skating with turns n pivots. Snapping originated in the Baltimore area. I would simply say its chopping. TH-cam snapping ok skates some vids should come up
@@jcasanova1982jr i remember what house is. i was in nj skating once and thats what they were doing. i just checked out snapping. never knew thats what it was called.
So when I first seen this an never thought to practice without the skates but it makes sense. What I did is after my run on the treadmill I would decrease the speed to about 1.5 mph and walk backwards and spin around switching directions and slowly increase the speed. Never more than like 2.5 but man that really helped my balance and maneuvering around. Thank you for the tip I just took it in my own direction and damn it helps.
Hi I skated back in the day, now I’m 56 and back at it but a little rusty. Can’t backward skate anymore, had an accident with a little girl, hit the floor pretty hard. My problem is turning, I want to learn how to turn to backward skate, any tips for that? Fresno
my tip would be to pick up the front 2 wheels when doing the turn.so if you are turning left pick up the front two wheels and start the turn. once u put the front two wheels back down u pick up the front two wheels on the other foot to bring it around . its kind of hard to explain lol i may have to make a video talking about it while i demonstrate it
My friend put me on! I’ve only been skating for like 2 months and people think I’ve been skating for years lol I love it! I learned how to skate backwards in 2 weeks. I don’t even think I’m that nice but people record me and speak when they see me outside the rink!
those are fake whosever doing it they dislike on every bodys page when its real you will be able to see there page and they want hide it with that being said be prepare cause your the only brother thats helping out skaters across the board so it might get sticky Im 100% sure your page is going to be huge big congrads
@@Sk8Fam I’m not sure if you have already done a video of some sort .. but are there any website you would suggest I could buy skates from .. I’ve been having a very hard time finding places where I could get some it seems like they are sold out everywhere I even checked the pro shop in my city they didn’t have any either ..ima Men’s SZ 12
Good tips, thanks! I'm a new skater - inlines - but interested in maybe learning skate jamming / trying roller skates, too. A lot of your advice holds true for inlines, too, from what I've observed and experienced. One tip from inliine urban skater Bill Stoppard, I think (on TH-cam: Bill Stoppard BSS): include upper body strength training. It can help reduce the severity of injury in falls. ; )
Thank you, and thanks for watching! And for sure thats a good tip. so many training methods help universally. I think ppl under estimate the value of exercise/working out!
ok whats up with the stringing is it for looks I see that a lot of ppl string theres loose but never ask why and how do you feel about the 172 setup I know we can skate in anything no matter what there suppose to be made for. Good tips but are you going to break down certain moves on skates? lots of questions huh lololol
yes tying the strings most ways is for looks. some people wrap them around the ankles for more ankle support.I like the 172 boot. I love the huge soft tongue and the control the high boot offers. my 120 boot with bones on them roll faster and are a little more versatile tho. and i want to do move breakdowns. have to find the space for it, and i want to include people who are good at certain moves so when all that aligns, the move break downs will be coming for sure! lol
i personally like bones and i think switching out a few wheels for fomacs may be the best way to go.and a boot is much better than speed skates, ive never seen a jb skater with speed skates on lol. im sure u could do most of the moves tho
yo iv been saving for a "cheap" pair of skates for like a year now , being a kids tough man . iv been skating rentals the whole time and id like to say iv gotten pretty good considering , i landed my first single axle last month actually
i totally understand bro. but that is so dope!!! can i upload that to youtube? if someone records you send it to me on ig @ princeniko414 i would love to showcase it
I'd just finished watching again the video on the grapevine, and was wondering as I watched if it would help to do it without skates on, just to get the moves down. And then you mentioned it here! Yeah, that muscle memory, it would still help burn it in. And it can be done anywhere. Having these tutorial videos will really help people without access to experienced skaters. And, you mentioned different regional styles. Here's one from when I first picked up on skating again.(Other than two summers as a kid a long time ago.)New Jersey. You might know this one. All my exposure to real skating comes from videos, but I haven't seen anything else like this for a while. Great style! th-cam.com/video/SFvXZoTcMTA/w-d-xo.html

Falling is good!! I like that!! Thank you. Knee and elbow pads are needed for me.
yes very useful. no shame in a helmet or pads because safety is always first !
I wear pads and a helmet all the time on inlines. The knee pads and wrist guards have helped a LOT.

I'd just finished watching again the video on the grapevine, and was wondering as I watched if it would help to do it without skates on, just to get the moves down. And then you mentioned it here! Yeah, that muscle memory, it would still help burn it in. And it can be done anywhere. Having these tutorial videos will really help people without access to experienced skaters. And, you mentioned different regional styles. Here's one from when I first picked up on skating again.(Other than two summers as a kid a long time ago.)New Jersey. You might know this one. All my exposure to real skating comes from videos, but I haven't seen anything else like this for a while. Great style! th-cam.com/video/SFvXZoTcMTA/w-d-xo.html
