Hi Skatie! I just got my skates a few days ago and I’ve been binging your videos to help me get rolling. I’m still trying to get the hang of stopping instead of crashing into the couch 😂😂 Your videos are super helpful!

HA at the end when you whistled my German Shepherd got up from sleeping and came to the laptop on the kitchen counter...How funny... Hes still looking around who whistled. Good video !!! Even if you are a seasoned skater these drills are nice to warm up

Just started skating a little while ago idk if these actually helped my control or just boosted my confidence but I am doing so much better now! I barley wobble anymore and also pick up speed and stop easier (stopping almost made me fall over beforehand) it’s a very noticeable improvement for me. Thank you so much for your videos they are very helpful!

Hi Skatie. I love your videos. I wish I had started watching you videos sooner. I went skating at a roller rink on 5/29/22 and I kept falling. The last time I fell I broke the bone on the outside of my left leg. My dreams of roller skating may be over because I not only need to have surgery but I will be recuperating for about 10 weeks. I’m so sad that I was foolish about my approach to skating. 😢

I've been binge watching your videos ever since I decided to take up roller skating again after many, many years! All your videos are super helpful!!! Thank you!!!! 🙌🏻

Friend, what a show of video! I want to practice these “dance exercises” and get strengths with my roller skates too. I had a crazy exames week in college, today I woke up and the first thing I did was wearing them and watching your video. Thank you do much. Success~~♥️

I love love love your videos! I started roller skating in march, but I'm learning very slowly. Your videos really help a lot with building confidence and are super entertaining too! 😊

[stephannunez]

Thank you skate I’m trying to learn and it’s much harder than it looks on god I spent more time falling this morning on my first try I did practice t stop from another one of your videos

I have troubles with control i need a video like this thanks 4 this🎉

[lacyladi]

I'm so happy! I do a version of these when I go outside after skating in the rink for a bit to regain my control when practicing. I feel so weird doing them but it helps so much that I just couldn't stop, seeing you put them into an order is going to help me sooo much because I feel like I just am all over the place when I finally get some alone time out there in the wild. You're the best! and hello from NJ, USA. Have a great skate everyone

[laughsalot]

This is just what I was looking for! Thank you!

[heathersretirementshenanig]

Wow, I'm really enjoying all the videos. Can't wait to practice some of these drills. Thank you!

[BucketsOfCool]

🙏✨🛼 Love your explanations of weight distribution, tension, and what these physically feel like as you drill! For a long time, it didn’t register in my brain and body how to flex, tense or isolate certain muscles - esp in the early days of skating when these muscles were less developed! Watching your videos has been immensely helpful in up leveling my art skate practice 🎊🫶
