Pizza stop is going to save my life! I’ve been using the tried and tested ‘flail for a bit then catapult into a tree’ method in my local park (hills 4 dayssss)

I started skating a few months ago and I still can't reliably stop without running into the roller rink walls. So excited to try some of these out!! Thanks for the great explanations :)

I just started rollerskating and everything I have found for "beginners" are how to do super complicated stuffs as jumping, go down stairs, make circles... That's wonderful, but so far I can't even stand properly on my rollers and my way to stop is against my surroundings, so I'm very grateful for these super basic videos where I can learn from the very beginning 🤩

to think people skated for an entire month nonstop til you showed them how

I’m glad I’m not the only one who doesn’t trust toe stops like that — I do exactly what u said, my foot feels like it’s jerking and then I panic. My sister doesn’t understand that I just can’t stop like that lol

I needed this so much! The only stops I am comfortable doing right now is the pizza stop, but I am not fully comfortable stopping that way when going fast yet. I need to learn the t-stop and transitions too because I want to start trail skating. I hate the toe stop drag so much and I try to stay away from that. lol I will definitely focus on learning how to properly shift my weight. Thank you!

I learned how to skate from your videos. I’m just on day 3 and I already feel comfortable. I’ll try the V / pizza stop when I skate later today.

This is all such helpful info! I never learned to skate as a kid and now the idea of it kinda terrifies me now that I'm in my 30s, but it always looks so fun and freeing. I feel like this is giving me some confidence to finally try again. On that note, would love to see if you have any tips for "oh sh*t, I'm falling/have fallen"! Things like how best to try to land, when you should or shouldn't catch yourself, how to get up without looking like a wounded newborn giraffe, etc.

I’m 35 years old and just bought my first pair of roller skates. I wanted something I could find that was different than the daily walks I do, that would be fun and something I could do both just for me on my own, but also keep up with the kids when they’re on their bikes and scooters.
You are my first tutorial video, and you teach it so clearly and showing from different angles (I’m a dance teacher) is very helpful when learning from a video.
Subbed! ❤

I haven't rollerskated in years, and no one taught me anything, so I appreciate the information in this video! I picked up on skating fast real fast but never breaking - I hated the jerky and tripping feeling of the toe drag so instead little 9-year-old me tended to just squat down and extend out one leg, and spin in a little circle to cancel my momentum! Glad to know there are much better ways out there!!

I just bought my first pair of skates. I used to love skating at the rink as a child. Thank you for a very thorough explanation of stopping. I can't wait to get back into skating! 😍

[TheDivineFemedianTarot]

I bought a pair of skates years ago and I've been wanting to skate for fun. Now I feel more confident because of you. Thank you

[gracelessbeauti]

I roller-skated/rollerbladed a lot as an only child growing up and recently moved near a park that has an outdoor roller rink! I'm so excited to get back into it. I love your videos! Thank you

[eyeclapback]

Excellent tips’ My 7 year old granddaughter followed your instructions and improved and glided instantly! You’re awesome sis! 😀

[tinytoasties]

Found your channel last week and your videos encouraged me to commit to finally buying a pair of skates! I love your style of talking to the camera and am here even for the non-skating content <3

[ruealexandriasullivan]

Thank you so, so much. 6 weeks back into skating after not doing it since a child. Your lessons are so easy, breezy and cute! I feel like a fairy again ❤️

[Nb]
