I'm a "thick" white gal, too (although you're fit and thin compared to me!)- and just got back into skating after being out of it for ten years (browsing Youtube to feed my rediscovered addiction). Thank you very much for inspiring me to try the old tricks I kicked ass at when I was young and skinny...I'm gonna try 'em out next week at the rink!
@alaskanpariah Glad to be inspiring to you...I WISH I was "fit & thin"...lol...I havent been skating as much as I used to lately but I went last week as my birthday present to myself and oh man!! I was feeling the burn in my legs from not having gone very much over the last year or so :( I just went back to school ft and am a single mother of 4 so theres just not enough time or money for me to be able to skate as much as I want right now. Skating is definitely the best exercise for me though!!
@AngelsOnWheels How ironic- know a gal who is a single mom of 3 girls, and is an active roller derby player. I felt the burn in my legs last night for sure after a couple hours of skating, but felt fantastic today and can't wait to go back! Happy birthday, by the way. :-) I know what you mean about it being the best exercise: music, roller skates, and an audience- what else could a girl ask for?! If I get brave enough, maybe I'll post video of myself skating within next week. Peace!
@alaskanpariah Cool. I thought about trying out for the roller derby here but I just dont have anough time to commit to it. I just started school ft. Maybe in a few years :)
@patmandy2009 "Shoot the duck" is when you squat as low as possible, put all your weight on one foot, and extend the other leg straight out in front of you, sometimes stretching your arms out to hold that foot, but it does not involve crossing your legs in any way.
this is a serious question, so please dont take this out of context. how do you pull off a coffin if you're not a twig? the only people i've seen do those look like they need to be eating biscuits and cornbread all day
Its all about balance and flexability. Im not fat, just thick. It might be harder if I were fat because the blubber around my belly might get in the way of me bending ddown and curling my body over :)
Hey, I've been skating for a while now, and im trying to learn how to skate backwords better. I can go, but I have to push myself off a wall to get me going. lol. But like, i cant turn, or keep going. i need some serious help and tips lol could u make a video explaining how to skatebackwords and show how to? id rlly apperciate it!!!
ive been skating since i waz 4 im 14 now if u got rly gud balance get goin forwards an then jump backwards an swerve ur right foot infrount of ur left foot an keep up that pattern
Here's how i learned.... I sat down on the skate floor and put my leg behind. then i just got balanced and then i worked on sitting while going and voila! I got it.
Thanks. I used to skate at Waukesha but now I don't like it cuz their floor is all jacked up from roller hockey, & they hardly ever play good music. Im old school. I don't like the way skating has become where people prefer to skate with this group or that group, usually all doin the same thing. I just like to do me. My kids & real family is all I need to enjoy my skating, but I have some reg skating friends too & I dont mind showing people how to do something if they wanna learn though ;)
Yo, not bad but you should come check out waukesha skateland in wisconsin, were real good and we could always use another skater in our family like you
Me too ;) so far, Ive got one 10yr old girl who can do it pretty good, and Im workin on getting my daughter to learn it. Shes very hesitant and Im not sure how to help her out. Mostly, shes not really trying because shes afraid of wiping out. (Which definately happens when first learning...lol!)
u sound just like my mom! LoL she wants me and my younger sis to be her protégé. now my lil sis dont mind falling down it's me that be scared cuz i don't want ppL looking and laughing at me.. i'm 20 years old and my sis is about to be 8 next month.. LoL so idk i be scared to learn new moves. we go skating every weekend too. but i'm going to try harder to learn new tricks. =D thanks for the videos u posted.
Awe well just hang in there and keep trying ;) Dont be afraid of what people might say if you fall. Anyone who really knows how to skate at all will tell you that you have to fall a little in order to learn. Anybody who has something negative to say about a person falling when theyre seriously tryin to learn something is just being a hater! Dont pay them no mind!
Like "B"-nard said in the movie Roll Bounce. "If you don't fall, how do you know what it's like to get back up?" Falling is a part of skating like Angel already said. And oh...Angel....you guys should come out to Ozaukee on Sunday nights...they play a lot of old jams..... The Misses, kids and I are out there every week. Fun time! Wish we could jam like you....getting too old I guess LOL! Natalia is amazing...hey?
interesting, this is actually called the huntsman's crouch. a coffin is VERY similar but you shoulder must touch the ground
