I love the guy that waved in the back! 😂

[laurasanchez]

0:58 He we was happy with his 5 seconds of fame hahaha

[stephmo]

I love how integrated the skate community is with their tips and referencing each other. Thanks for another super helpful vid Asha 🤙🏼

[xcenic]

Im deeply sad that youtubers tutorial wasn't on the 90s when i was a kid skater. This is so nice to return to skate and have good videos. In our time we have to figurate everything by ourselves.

[josephine]

Omg, I love how you’re teaching and explaining the technique. Every other video I found was just like “all you do is this and this” but you, you’re saying “what you do is and here’s how and why”. I think I just found my new favorite skating channel 😊

[KaliSharuhn]

Asha, you are the coolest skater lady ever. I loved skating before (iceskater here who switched to inline skates due to Covid) - but you made me realise that anything is possible even for an adult, and you've become my skating role model. I admire your skill, your style (love the pink! :D), the way you explain/teach things! One day I want to be like you, a total badass on skates :D Also, thanks sooo much for this tutorial on stopping. I try to heavily work on my stops to be a more responsible and safe skater but don't want to rely on the heelbrake so this is just what I needed!

[MarcinPetruszka]

Oh I need to practice those more. Thanks for your breakdown. Props for mentioning both Tiago and Bill! These guys are insane 🤩

[BillMartinLCSW]

this is really helpful...at 67 I gave up on learning to stop and use rollerblades with the rear brake....I will try this out...simple instructions, smooth video thanks!!

[dangerouswater]

Thanks Asha, that’s what my next 2mm of my wheels will be spent on!

[gavinlew]

This is by far one of my favourite videos on how to stop on inline skates (other than the T-stop).

[Kalmanheyn]

I've been rollerblading and ice skating for years - I even played ice hockey throughout high school - but stopping on rollerblades has always stumped me. Now I can't wait to learn how to powerslide!

[funwheels]

I can see why Asha loves the powerslide, it is more stylish then the other two.

[freshasadaisy]

I love Asha, she really is the queen of inline skating. Hope that never changes.

[eivhanconcha]

I really love watching your tutorial video asha! ❤️

[eddysobieralski]

Many thanks Asha! I've just had a huge 'penny drop' moment regarding use of the arms. I've been trying to do it all from the legs... I can get away with that on the ice. That's tomorrow's practice session sorted! :-)

[vanderslagmulders]

I love this tutorial and the stepwise approach. It has been extremely helpful over the past week or so. Just started inline skating again and want to try to gradually phase out the heel brake while learning these new techniques. Thank you so much Asha!

[yourtravelguidetotheancien]

Wow, what a well made and professional instructional video. The logical explanation and then multiple slow motion demos was really effective. I also appreciated putting in a few bloopers in the end... Thank you very much

[vadiupoker]

You and Bill are the reason why I skate! Tyvm

[bhaskarng]

Hai Mam i am an ardent fan of your skating skill and also now i have purchased tri skates after 20 + years of struggling life now i want to fulfil my dreams and with all your blessings and support i will start my journey

[laviniabularca]

Shes teaching how it needs to feel when is done correctly (loving this)not just the moves and i think this helps a lot, how shes saying practice makes permanent ...if you get to feel where, when you do well or wrong its an advantage...im 6 months skateing i can do plenty of things though i want to focus on correct skating first (im basic scooting as much as i can) and stopping methods.i really need to polish all but i think its a short period of time 6 months and not full time(far from it)...im very pleased though, i want more and i think is because i get to understand how it feels when is correct wich helps to see the bad habits and change.This, i think has a lot to do with the teaching methods...i consider ASHA brilliant not just for the smooth way of skateing (wich i love) is that she actually menage to transmit to others in order to improve...not all the teachers can do that
