"Lay the egg, then close your butthole" was what made me finally get backward bubbles. LOL

Coming from an expert skater, it is good to learn how to proficiently skate forwards and backwards first. Then you go into transitioning from front to back and then back to front. Then you move into balancing on your heels and toes. Then you move into spins (heel-toe and then toe spins). After all of that, you can start into more advanced moves like pivots and other moves you want to learn. It will take awhile so be patient.

I have many people coming up to me asking me to teach them moves but can't do the basics. It took some of us 5, 10, 15 years to get to this point. It won't happen over night but you have to practice continuously to get better.

That huge bike room had me wondering if you were in the Netherlands and glad to know I was correct! such an awesome indoor space to skate.

The chicken and the please that was so funny! Thank you! I'm a 3-day skater and been learning bubbles, and I think this is the best tip ever

Quick Notes:
1. Weight Placement (Good Posture)--Slowly Squat downward while practicing balancing from left to right.
2. Lay an egg-- while feet snake out as going into a squat.
3. Bubbles- While skating backwards cross one foot over the other.
4. 2 ways to stop
5. No front wheels
6. Skate with one foot in front of the other...

Loved this video. Watched it twice. Thank you for taking the time to help us get stronger at skating. So fun ❤️🎈

Absolute beginner at 62(!) I got a lot from this tutorial! So important to know what your body is doing and I guess with practicing it becomes second nature, thanks Dee!

I am your expert roller skater.30+ plus years ago I skated every weekend. 'Backward Skaters ONLY'.Keep instructing.

I skated a lot growing up, but haven't skated in 15 or so years and forgot how. This was probably the most helpful video to me on how to get started again. Thank you so much for sharing!!!
