Hi Skaters. The last couple of videos have been slightly more advanced so I've taken it back to basics so that my beginners can follow along. Remember, learning is a journey, have fun, stay safe and happy rolling!

Pleaseeee post moreee Your videos are the Best!!!!

[ninyn]

Your videos are so helpful! You and Dirty Deb are really helping me level up my skills. Don't understand why you don't have way more viewers! You definitely deserve more!

I live in Sweden so outdoor skating is definitely over at this point, but I've started to use the living room and the basement for practice. 😂

Hey Katie! I'm Brazilian and I got hurt on my second day learning skating. After two months after breaking coccyx I'm coming back. Finding your videos was the best thing I could ask during my recovering. You're awesome.

[paulafaloco]

Thank you Katie, I love your videos. They are very helpful, you explain things that nobody does for those of us who are very beginners! Hugs from Argentina.

[kathoh]

This is great to practice in a really really small space, like my kitchen, so you can skate at home! Thank you again 😊🛼

[natkapietruszki]

I love you, Katie, you're so positive and give me hope I will be great at roller skating one day:)

[juliaffalcao]

Found this video in such perfect timing - just today I went skating and was frustrated with how badly I seem to be rn at controlling my weight on skates. Will definitely be doing these at home tomorrow, thank you so much for the amazing videos!

[elleyj]

This one is lots of fun today, thanks for the laugh!
I always forget to work on this move. Skaters need some sort of audio app to help us remember all the drills we want to work on!

[erikabarrera]

I just got my own skates and your videos are very helpful

[SaraKin]

Lol... you're great, girl. I'll definitely try doing some 🐔 here, too! Thanks again 💝

[missblackvelvethessen]

♥️ Thank you so much for your helpful videos. Greetings and hugs from Germany ♥️

[jogifford]

Thank you Katie, I really needed the vote of confidence today ❤️ love your videos 😍🛼

[CarmiRecede]

you help me so much skatie 💜 Im on my third week of learning how to skates 😅

[rinitea]

After thinking it over for years, i just went for it and bought proper skates last week, but the weather's been a miserable drizzle all weekend! My apartment is tiny, but with your indoor tips I am able to still make the best out of it so next time the weather clears up i don't have to start anew, plus it also helps with breaking into my new skates :D I love your positivity and clear explainations, you're really wonderful!

[Princesspeachfan]

Even without this I am still having fun. Skating is a new hobby for me beacuse my club has just brought out the roller skates and I’ve been trying them out.eventually I’m might get skates and properly start learning.

[davidalonzi]

Hi Katie, I’m loving your videos as someone in their mid fifties and trying to be a teenager again 😂 and never really got the hang of skating back then, I’m finding your tutorials so informative. One thing I’m struggling to get help with is which skates are suitable for a guy who is about 90kg as so many seem to have lighter weight limits. Any suggestions very welcome 😊

[jasminduncanson]

I'm still learning to stand on skates in my home

[kaelajehnke]

I just started skating. One day I’ll get it

[biff]

This is easy? Hmm. Oh I found a skate shop in St Louis. Getting there.

[nadineinchina]

Tomorrow is my day 3. I'm gonna try this. What would you say are the very first few things a beginner should learn?
