Видео

I made some diy skates, using my trucks from old skateboards, working pretty well but they don’t roll super well, this vid kinda makes me want to just buy some real ones 😅

cant wait to try this after learning bubbles it looks so much fun :DD

thank you soooooooooooooooooooooooooo munch :) ı can do this

Katie your teaching is excellent. I'm struggling with this but watching this video gives me hope that I will get it soon. I have saved a lot of your videos to practice with and they are giving me LIFE!! ❤ THANK YOU 🙂

hi! the typical €50 price tag is a bit steep for me, so i've been looking around on places like depop for second hand skates - would you recommend?

Thank you Katie! I can see exactly how to perform these maneuvers because your explanations are very straight and clear. I just have to get a little more confident in my abilities. I just got a pair of bubble shorts which will save my tailbone if that should ever happen. I have never worn so much gear before. Protection at all costs.

Katie just back from skating. My crossovers suck. I can put my right skate in front of my left skate but I am absolutely paranoid to cross over. I am trying to feel confident being on one skate. I am starting to realize how important your edges are to your ability to do some tricks. Practice and lots of it is what I need and I am trying so hard! Btw Katie thank you for helping to make me a better skater. ❤️🫶🏻💕💋

Uff dios mio, ya son las 2.30 horas Skatie me encantan tus cllases. Pero me voy a dormir😂😂

Are you gonna try rollerblades

I love the belly button analogy.

Great video, your hair is gorgeous, Katie!!

Katie you are incredible. You are so adorable! Thx ❤I bought bubble shorts which will protect my tailbone.

Couldn’t lift my feet until I made them tight, thank you 🤭

As a lover of manuals and the barrel roll this is right up my alley!

omg THANK YOU SO MUCH for explaining the edges it makes it so much easier to remember which edge to lean on when you know what it does

Hi Katie!! Thank you so much for your videos, they have helped me so much on my beginner journey. :3 I'm having trouble with my rolling one foot on the left. Specifically, I'm always veering slightly to my inside edge (to the right). I have tightened my trucks probably TOO much to test, and I'm still veering a little. I've been trying to focus on putting my weight over my pinky toe, and it's getting a bit better... but do you happen to have any additional tips or drills on improving this imbalance? Is it possible something is also wrong with my left skate mounting/truck/cushion that is compounding the issue?

Hi my skatie bear 🐻 I love this video, I will add this into my "tricks tool box" it looks fun. I'll start working on it right away. You are so pretty, Katie. I absolutely love the pulled back hair, with the bangs hanging down, or tucked behind your ears.

trans pride shoe laces nice!

thank you thank you this video really covers everything since other videos only cover wheels and moving but this video coveres so much so cohesively

Thx Skatie Katie. I love your personality. Your not Hollywood. I am so good with that. You explain everything so thoroughly to make me become a better skater. Thank you for your time and effort!

So that progressed from "an intermediate move" to "an intermediate-to-advanced move" in the space of a few minutes. I dread to think what an *actually* "advanced" move is. I suspect it involves having three legs.

Sorry if im a bit late. I went on your website to look at your recommendations and I noticed some of the skates had plastic plates. Is that because certain plastic plates are ok? I've been skating for a few months and I do have a pair of Moxi beach bunnies that i use primarily. But today in a charity shop, I found some leather skates with plastic trucks. I got them because they were £15 and I wanted the light up wheels to put on my bunnies but I would like to have them as a backup pair too. I only plan on skating fowards around my local park and indoor rink. No tricks, just skating. I'm also only 100 lbs. Will these skates I found be ok to use as backups? Thanks for taking the time to read this

slightly unrelated but I got the roll line heliums because of you and i love them so so soooo much- They're so smooth! I do outdoor skating and I mmmm i love them

I'm really struggling with understanding how to do one foot lemons/bubbles, my normal lemons are ok but one footed, my inside wheels kind of drag when I try to use my inside edges so I end up slowing, not gaining speed. How do I fix that pleeeease?

I have back pain issues, It's tooooooo much. I tried your tricks and some other tricks but still I get lower back pain while I'm skating. I'm new. I only can manage 10/15 mins then because of the pain I had to stop, can't even practice properly. 😢

Thanks for sharing 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Thank you so much for providing all your helpful, funny, and downright amazing skating lectures :) I started with your tutorials about a year ago - and now I am bit by bit unlocking a set of new skills. It’s so amazing that there is a skatie tutorial for every step along the way 😊 ✨

For me the biggest confidence booster was going on a challenging bumpy pavement that was still save to skate on, because once I drove there and back any other surface filled like the smoothest concrete ring. I of course made sure to know how to balance, stop, pivot and all the things to keep me save. Going on a uneven surface that is still consistent in it's challenges was a great way to build my confidence in skating outside and I would recommend!

This is very helpful Katie. Thank you! I have a question for the one foot edge drill, should I only master my dominant leg or the other one as well?

Good stuff

My Skatie Bear 🐻 thank you. I'm going to try this tonight at adult night.

A tip for the "artistic skater entry", is to practice it off skate! Totally helped me get it

Can I use my bike grease for the bearings?

With adjusting toe stops, how much space should you leave between your toe stop and the ground? From an artistic viewpoint. I want to do artistic jumps and spins and I don't know how low I should have my toe stop. I get that it's probably personal choice, but I'd like to have a starting point :)

But my skates are really heavy and I'm a kid.

Am I dumb for using my hair dryer to dry my skates out after I go an hour+?

Are all skates adjustable? I’m older and quite tall and heavier than average. Used to skate as a young girl but just wanting to get back into it. So surprised when I went to a rink and couldn’t skate at all! I’m thinking it was the skates I rented. I’m interested in buying skates.

Sadly I cannot do the open book/spread transition cause my hips don't open that wide. It's a medical condition so practice doesn't help. I still feel like I can do transitions with your tutorials thank you❤

Learned it in a few days of persistent falling. All i can say is: i did first turn and stop right away. And only when i was confident in turn-stop i went forward with turn-skate backwards. The funnyest part is i actually love starting it with left leg (i do everything with right and only this thing with left) coz i have less control of it and am safer when it needs less attention.

Saving this! I cannot get this but I'll keep trying. 😅

Ooh wish I found this video a little earlier. Just got skates from Story gifted to me, but now I'm doubting if they are oké for me as a beginner 🙈😅

I will definitely be trying these tonight

2:10 HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUh????????? I've never seen skates from this angle on the vids people make so did not even notice before! I can do a few tricks, learned to stop via open book and even a fast stop by using hard turn on one leg. BUT ONLY NOW I SEE THAT I ALWAYS TRIED TO LEARN BASIC STOPPING INCORRECTLY? Wow.... Thanks Skatie. Guess i will finally learn the basic one thanks to you.

But I have 1 question which skates are the best the ones that have two skates, back and two skates, Ford or the ones that are in a straight line😕😅

Thanks so much for this, I had a few tumbles yesterday from transitions and now i know what i deffo need to work on (i also got some good falling practice in lol and my pads saved me multiple times). Also it's mad how different surfaces feel which sounds stupid i know but all the slight bumps in the ground. I've only been skating for less than a month so I'm trying to go easy on myself and slow down 😅

Thanks Katie, this video seems interesting and the skill fun!

So, I've been doing heel manuals all wrong for the last six months or so. Looks like I know what to work on next time at the rink. I have one concern, though: I have no idea if you have hyper-flexible Achilles tendons, or whether it's just that girly high-heeled skates are that much easier to get heel manuals on (see 6:33 for getting your front wheel about half an inch in the air, or more), but I have reason to doubt I'll be able to get into a heel manual position with my knee *that* bent. If your foot is at the same angle to the horizontal as mine (in my converted Bauer ice skates), you're on a heel manual, I'm on all four. On the other hand, I'm doing just fine with toe manuals, and I've got toe stops the size of bin lids. About all I need to crack with those is swapping between left and right in front without putting all four down on one side.

I've learned so much from your videos! Thank you!

Hey, I'm going to buy the 83a 64mm wheels (Hellium from Roll Line) but i don't know if i can still practice figure skating on those wheels. If i buy them i will mainly skate at the road so i don't know if it would be a good idea to buy them if i want to do turns, jumps and spins... what do you think?

I used to roller skate in the 80s as a teenager, especially after watching the movie Xanadu. I remember spinning and jumping.I was a good skater. I have been skating again for the past 6 months; however, I skate gingerly and have not tried spinning. I am 57 and I am scared stiff of falling and hurting myself.So, I just skate and still have fun.
