Understanding how the pressure translates to movement really helped me. How when toes out, pushing on the right heel and pulling with the left toe will make you go forward (regular stance). Then when toes in, pulling with the left heel and pushing off the right toe.

And reinforcing the keeping your feet under you tip! When your feet are too wide everything is harder, you get tired way faster, and it’s so frustrating.

I'm one of those people that started to get frustrated at about one month of trying, before I finally started being able to pump, and one thing that kept me going for the whole month is that I was always able to make some kind of visible progress. At first I couldn't go a few feet, then I could go halfway down the street, then all the way down the street. At first a particular muscle would be about to die after a long downhill ride, then it didn't get so bad. At first I was really overly afraid of making mistakes, then I made a bunch of mistakes and 99% of the time the result was that I'm suddenly walking instead of skating, which increased my confidence. For a long time I'd sometimes abruptly fail when I set off, like I was just starting out, and now that never happens. I gained *something* from each bit of practice I put in. That was pretty satisfying.

Came at a perfect time! It’s my 4th day and I can only do the pumping motion like 2-3 times before swerving or losing balance. Gonna try to keep the speed today

Couldn't have come at a better time ~ Thanks for breaking down the process!

I just started free skating 2 weeks ago and I used to love my rollerblades more than anything but after skating one morning and I was zooming and it was the most fun I think I have ever had in my life. So much fun. (unless you’re pumping up hill) love the vids❤

I thought unicycling was THEE hardest thing to do on "wheel(s)", but this right here might be a close second. I got into skating older in my life in my early 20's and was never into tricks or anything. I just liked the balance aspect of it and being able to move freely. Little by little I searched for a harder skate challenge and i found the shark attack and the ripsurf board. Loved them both and now that I found free skating, I think it will replace most of my skating. I am still trying to learn how to do it with the cheap crappy Amazon skates because i know that the if i pull it off on thos, then when i transition to these I will be so much better. I weigh 235 lbs, so this kinda stuff is not too easy for me.

I've been struggling with slowing down, I get all this speed which I'm proud about but then I end up jumping off because I can't control it

Great tips! I bought a pair of JMK a couple of days ago and I’m very excited to get it! I will care about these advices!

Super good video. Got my skate abit over a month ago. Most of this stuff I figured out on my own for anyone completely new or who has had them for awhile and didn't figure these things out this explains it all so well.

[share_the_scene]

i’m on hour 4 of learning and yesterday i completely wiped out but i made it down my driveway and onto the sidewalk😂 definitely needed this video!!

[kyral]

Cool vid! I remember having trouble getting my pump into "position 2" when I was starting.

[palmjack]

Greetings from 🇵🇱. Today was my first day and it wasn’t good at the beginning but after 2 hrs I’m getting it. Love the experience, it’s so much fun! Thx for the great video.

[artemtiger]

[will-wdgi]

Gonna buy some soon and hopefully post my journy as a 15 yr old on these

[Luclecool]

Can you make a tutorial for climbing up small steps like a sidewalk without going off the skates ?

[handiansantoso]

My inner thigh hurts even though i manage to pump at slow speed at short distance. I have some difficulty getting in toe out position as well. Any tips i can do to eliminate these two issues?

[CranjisMcBuckets]

I most definitely cannot point my toes more out than in
