Skating backwards is more fun than skating forward, change my mind.

Im sorry for screaming at you guys.
This was before I knew how to use my mics.

I feel like I'm on the pipeline to becoming a PE teacher and I'm totally here for that character arc.

“I want you to feel the joy of floating through the air.” That made me smile. Thank you.

I used to know how to skate a little when I was younger. I decided I want to learn for real now I’ll be 57 in few weeks and I have arthritis in the knees. I just got my skates this week and have been practicing in the house first, mainly for balance. I’ve been watching and practicing your 7 minute video and I can tell the difference already. Even my knees feel better. I’m going to go outside and practice that video this weekend and can’t wait to try this one. My friends laughed when I told them I’m going to take up skating since I’m older and not in the best shape. Not the worst but not the best either. But I feel I can do this, especially since I can relate to you. You look like my daughters. I have 5 ! Keep making your videos I’m watching and learning and I love your new split screen technique. Also I have an autistic grandson, age 13 who is non verbal. I see you ❤. Love this and I’m going to do this! I love the way you teach!! ❤

Me not owning any skates, having no intention of getting any, just had to say you are an amazing teacher! Your energy, your information, your demonstrations! On point, I'm sure many people are going to learn so much from you 🖤

Love this! My biggest problem with backwards skating so far isn't the actual skating itself, but that whenever I start to actually look behind me when I do it I start to lean to turn to the side, no matter how straight I try to keep my shoulders. Also I still haven't been able to nail transitions without consistently falling on my ass 😅

no wait your tutorials are so smooth n your laugh is so cute i love thesee ❤

[maddajoy]

Your tutorials are BY FAR the most helpful I’ve ever come across. Just wow. The energy, the simplicity of the steps.. You’re working magic, girl!!!

I'm 30 this year. Never stuck to skating. Earlier I was at the rink cuz I recently picked it back up cuz my daughter picked it up. I thought maybe loosening the trucks up a bit would help. Come home tonight, listened to this. You said that and now I can go backwards. It was my trucks holding me back. Not the spankin new skates.

I love your energy so much ✨☺️
As a drawing teacher I definetly need to learn from you and your ability to reassure us ❤

I just wanted to say I'm grateful for you explaining this process throughout the video. Without it i might've never learned to skate backwards. But because of your guidance i managed to learn how to in only 3 hours! I don't know how i did but it's definitely thanks to you🙏

I am still working on my balance and posture going forward. I am really struggling to get my body position right. I think I'm doing it right, until I watch the video of me that I recorded. Then I'm like, "Oh dear!" It's all wrong! I hope someday soon I'll get it right. I would love to move on and start learning some new things. Great video! I am saving it in my skating playlist so I can refer back to it once I've gotten forward skating down. Thank you for sharing this!

I'm so excited to try this! I can do very painfully slow bubbles going backwards, but I think the tip about loosening up my trucks will help a lot. Thank you for the amazing and uplifting advice! Fingers crossed for my next skating session :)

Okay gonna practice soon as I get off today and will let you know my progress...super excited thank you ❤❤😅

[supplechasehopeviewfarm]

Love your videos !!! I just ordered my Moxi’s and I’m so excited to start skating again many years later. I thought I would be fine but after putting on my old skates and realized I could not go forward 😂 I for sure will need your videos on hand 😊

I’m 26 and I use to skate all the time growing up. Every Friday to be exact and thanks to you I finally learned how to back skate. Thank you Queen!

[carmaela]

You make it look so graceful and elegant. Love this. Thank you for how you explain it.

[milleradventures]

Sharing your videos with my youngest skater, and I am remembering my love for it at 45. Your videos are great, clear and explaining the importance of body positioning is so important. 👏🏻

Perfect timing for this video! I'm celebrating my 25th bday by taking my friends skating tomorrow, and ngl I kinda wanna show off a little teeny bit 😅Thank you!

[Wearyartistofgreatlake]

I’m so thankful to have found your account😭💕

[mjcoolswagtv]

Your videos are so helpful! I recently bought roller skates and practiced for the fourth time today and can already do the Walt’s jump and heel toe spin, because you explain everything so thoroughly. Thank you 💞

[nerdonabudget]

Thanks for this guide!! Recently got into roller skating and one of my goals is to be able to smoothly skate backwards because it looks so cool!! Will def be working on this whenever I can. Keep up the great work!
