I got softer cushions and it's an epiphany! I had hard stock cushions so I loosened my trusts so much they clanged on the ground. I can't recommend getting softer cushions enough it will make you FEEL those edges!
Hi Katie! Thank you for inside edge drills training. Edges are extremely important to improve and advance to the next level of skating. Keep up the great work!
If you lean on the big toe abs then the little toe you should feel the wheels flex underneath you. If they flex only a little maybe give them a 1/4 to 1/2 turn to give it a little more movement. If it moves a lot and feels floppy definitely give it a turn or two to tighten. It’s down to your preference but too tight or too loose will effect your skating.
Hey Katie! I don't know if you take requests/suggestions, but any chance you could make a video breaking down and suggesting drills for the crescent step? I am having such a hard time with that move! Thank you! Love your channel!
Hi. I think I know that as the ‘C’ step. It’s a Rythmn move? It looks quite simple but it’s deceptively tricky to get the weight right. I shall get a tutorial sorted for you x
im struggling to use my edges well, and i can barely pull my legs back in from a bubble if i have no prior momentum. is this because of my lack of experience (i started skating 4 days ago), or is it because my trucks are too tight? thank you to anyone who replies :)
If your trucks are tight that can hold you back, but it’s definitely hard to get momentum from bubbles. Really lean on those inside edges. th-cam.com/video/dE2hgiWoZGw/w-d-xo.html. You can start from a push to give you some speed to start with.
@@Skatie thank you for both replies (on the wheels video aswell) i tried both today and im starting to get it! i loosened them a tiny bit and they are really good now, because i have a hard boot. your videos are very helpful and again thanks! :)

💯 yes! They’re a world of difference. Happy skating 💕🤩🛼⭐️😎
I really appreciate when you do drills with toe stops. Many of your drills I have to do outside on trails.
I much prefer to keep my toe stops in outside too. I feel much safer that way x
You are just the best to explaine things and somehow, it all just makes sense. Thanks
Thank you. So glad it’s helped ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thank you. Having control of edges makes a huge difference. ⭐️⭐️⭐️
What’s a good way to drill inside edges when you’re skating backwards?
I need to do a few more backwards videos. Great idea. Thank you
Hi Katie. I have a question, how do I know if my skates are good for inside edges(to stiff or to loose) or if I have to adjust them?
If you lean on the big toe abs then the little toe you should feel the wheels flex underneath you. If they flex only a little maybe give them a 1/4 to 1/2 turn to give it a little more movement. If it moves a lot and feels floppy definitely give it a turn or two to tighten. It’s down to your preference but too tight or too loose will effect your skating.

I have never even heard of that step before. Hope Katie does a video on it. Thanks for suggesting it Mariana.
