[eman7150]

away from your body and back in...

[BrendanW308]

1.stay relaxed

2.dont look back

3.and pushhhhhhhhhh

[TheSexyzebra12]

@BrendanW308

Ok don't look back? what? i can backwards skate reaaalllyly good & when I'm at skating rinks && stuff. I HAVE to look back cuz, ya gotta watch where you're going .

[2kballer16]

i need a lesson on how to turn around 1st

[dofuslover999]

@2kballer16 don't worry... just youtube it! - that's what the rest of america does ^^

[artic9bobloser]

Thats some any beginner skating backwards, I wasnt even like that when i was going back

[SuperCloudBerry]

why the hell don't this woman have elbowpads, kneepads and a helmet on ?! plus, this is easier to do if you don't do it exactly like her, but squat down more with more bend in the knees, plus keep your back straight...remember its your ass that's supposed to be closer to the ground, not your face. proper body positioning is key to skate easier and prevent falling in a way that could cause serious injuries.

[horseexpertgirl]

pshhh so i was doing it right lol

[DrProfSlugger]

1.Use inline skates because of more balance and more speed.

[9tree1]

you have square skates. no help

[jazzybabestation]

I call the figure of 8, I call it lemons, cox the shape you make with your feet looks like a string of lemons!

[legacysage]

1. Don't be afraid.

2. Stay nice and relaxed

3. Bend over.

4. Open your legs.

[verticalsmurf]

@legacysage You aren't talking about skating are you?

[TheBreakerofStuff]

@legacysage if i were 10 id take that negatively :P

[legacysage]

@TheBreakerofStuff Yes well, that is why it is called humor. =p

Wow !!!! that really helped me a lot thank you for making the video it's was really helpful !!!!!

[xevablex]

"i was so xsited to learn from the video ... then .. she said "your more likely to fall

[MsLadyKay79]

@xevablex when learning you have to fall in order to perfect it. Some fall some don't all depends on the person, but never be afraid to fall. I've fallen and now skate with no problem!

[PrettyPrincess2614]

I'm going skatin' Saturday. Hope this works ;)

[Tayjae95]

[Joe28Super]

[buggeazy102]

[buggeazy102]

@Steelersfilms huh?

[Yondefence]

[Shuggup]

[buggeazy102]

@Shuggup did you fall forward?

[215Peaches]

she isnt really doing the stops

[Destroyerr143]

shit skates

[Maddii3line]

How do you turn whenever you're skating backwards ? ._.

[buggeazy102]

@Maddii3line spin or bunny hop

[MysteryStudios365]

make your body soft what th hell

[MrFisherman17]

Falling isn't so bad i busted my ass several times learning how to roller skate ive fallen backwards forwards even while turning i just laugh it off and start over

[Turks8806]

I bet you like goin backwards dont ya baby

[testmaster34]

why is she saying everything twice

[MRomglolitsme]

you could start not going anywhere..or go fowards then turn around..just as easy and gets u started

[lowewaves]

way to stutter through a tutorial and make me feel like what ur saying doesnt really work....

[godzillagil66]

a esta mina se lo pongo too

[Soccermaster54]

Lol. Who doesn't know how to roller skate? If you want a real challenge than go on roller hockey skates or ice hockey skates. Roller skating is for fun. Not that serious at all...

[hamstergirl591]

I tried to learn yesterday using the figure-eight method but couldn't get it. I don't know what I'm doing wrong; the best way to describe what I think is wrong is that I'm putting too much sideways force on moving in and out, because it feels like dragging a rubber-bottomed object with 130 pounds of force on top by my legs, not rolling. I don't move, all I do is strain my inner upper legs. Everyone makes it seem like I'm an idiot for not being able to get it. Can anyone tell me what to correct?

[thorjuan5]

@hamstergirl591 Firstly, u r not an idiot, everyone was a learner once! U probably just need to relax ur legs a bits as being tense makes movement harder. There's a guy on "video jug" called Stuart Thomas who does a few good learner vids & shows different variations of moves, that might be helpful :-)

[hamstergirl591]

@thorjuan5 Thanks ^_^ Lol I got very discouraged when my friend who said he used to "suck" showed me a video of when he "sucked" and he was really good.

[mischiefisamust]

i have been skating over 20 years and i have never taught somebody to only use a one leg technique (50%).this promote bad habits from the start which is hard to correct later.

[DazzarayMusic]

@mischiefisamust Very true

[HeyShelby219]

too much stuttering

[MathematicRocker]

How do you turn around and then start skating backwards ?

[WoodenHarmony]

they fail come to my rink and we will show you how to skatee.

[skillerrajan]

i want to skate like u 1 day :D

[CatheIeen]

It's about time learning to skate backwards. I go to this rink, where all these backward skaters go really fast, and make me lose focus, by falling down x--x.

[supaCEDI]

I hate this expertvillage

[91Hitman]

62 people can't do that xD ha!

[crim3cost]

The whole idea of not fearing to fall is to relax your body and focus your mind so you are more unlikely to fall, not that it doesn't matter to fall. It matters, of course!

On the other hand, you can't do funny comments accepting the obvious meaning of the sentence.

[vizardfan123]

ive learnt falling techniques when i learnt to rollerskate, my advice to fall when going backwards is to land on the hand you dont write with. land on your arm (not the hand)and tuck in the rest of your body. This will minimise the chances of breaking something or seriously injurying urself

[aaliyahcomeback]

@vizardfan123 the last time i went rollerskating in middle skool i broke my wrist ! bcuz i fell on my butt and landed on my wrist !

[Victoria9023]

@aaliyahcomeback friday night januay 14 2011 we went rollerskating. i was execlent going foward not backwards. i knew how to go foward making the 8 but january 16 2011 morning i will have to practice doing this

[gforemang]

i wouldnt listen to anyone with sneaker style skates.

[jaja123big]

i hope it works

[xomileyfan1xo]

i dont mind falling i like falling

[251beboomin]

i am so tired of expert village

[macherielle]

@251beboomin Then why do you watch? LOL!!!!

[LunarToastTv]

i tried this yesterday,and i just couldnt get the concept of my skate moving in a backwards three,you know just moving freely across the floor,and not skidding.

[dallas890dp]

she seems really nervous lol

[SymbolicX5461]

@dallas890dp she seems like shes got a boner in her pants and she doesnt want people to notice

[wolfrider910]

@dallas890dp yeah rubbing her hands is a dead give away!

[ognibeneroller]

The roller skate is beautiful.

Hi from bologna :-)

[NightDragonOfShadows]

Falling down while using rollerblades/skates is natural. Especially if you're a beginner......yet the "pro" people in my class fail to do 180s and skating backwards...

[billion82]

Great non-video.

[millster2000]

that isent the right way to go backwards u put one foot behind the other

[rsxsalem]

lol i got so many fall cuts but now im prettey good fianly got my self as a pro

[deathbyall]

:D I ran into 3 people then fell over a railing and broke my arm! :D Just like a cartoon.

[TeamTwinsanity]

I broke my arm you smarthead....fear of falling....like wtf.....I didn't fear. :D

[neverwatch8thepisode]

is it the same in inline skates?

[EzBlu]

Much less talking and more visual, why have a video is you aren't showing more of how it is actually done.

[0274605730]

does she lift her top up in any of these videos? That would make looking at her talking so much more enjoyable then being shown what she is yakking about.

[malachais]

@0274605730 no kidding! LOL

[swellstuff]

I would like to ask what is the brand of your skates? I am a Figure skater and I wanted to try roller skates. Do you know any website which I can order from. I am from the Philippines. I've been searching the net all i see are Roller skate toy. Can you suggest me a brand for starters.I'll be waiting for reply. BTW, I love your Videos. Keep it up. :))

[iloveeminem5546]

@swellstuff I dont know what kind hers are...but a very good brand is Vanilla Skates. Thats the kind i have. They work very well. a webiste where you can buy there skates,wheels, laces, ect. is usaproshop . com

[danielle9100]

i am going to try!

[hollywoodswinging79]

bitch i can do 110 times better than you

[lordservnt]

What kind of wheels are those? I'm looking for outdoor wheels.

[BloxBuilder]

wtf she has no gear i thought experts sre supposed to have gear and crap lol

[SkatingRoller1]

London Bridge Roller Skating 8pm-2am each & every Friday. Bring 10 People & you get in for FREE.

[bubby918]

u really know how to skate i can skate backwards now

[MechaSkatez]

I actually find quads much easier than in-lines

have you ever tried running on the brakes?

its so cool XD

[TheChinksteerr]

inlines are allot better for this

[sarah9191919]

The first thing is actually called backwards scissors, and I go backwards by doing that, BUT bringing my dominate leg behind the other...

[TheEilishXx]

i cant do that i just fall its usless :[

[activisonsucks]

what the fuck shes wearing qauds what a fail

[wannawatchu66]

@activisonsucks Not necessarily, activ. Not everyone uses inlines.

[JTrudy808]

shes right about the one-leg thing. thats how i get going backwards from a still position on my in-line sk8s, although, that 1st way doesnt really work for in-line sk8s.

for all begginers, theres nothing to be afraid of when it comes to falling as long as you are wearing protective gear. once you fall the 1st time, the rest will be really easy to get back up from.

[gfamily1997]

Ridged Like A Robot... Teehee

[tyler2260]

easy why don't you teach us how to grind or something

[tejla3]

rahel cook must be an annoying name to live with!?:D

[xabarx]

[solidmagp1e]

[jnwukad]

[shakisboy1]

@00corin00 aww at least you got over it

[psyco411]

im gonna try this next fiday i go skating! Thanks for the advice and I LOVE FALLING!!!! HAHAAHAHHAHAHAHA!

[KeplerTiburcio]

I will do this

[Shaquerraify]

She talk to much!!

[uhhhh45]

roller skating is fun ive been skating for 6 years now i can do almost anything and im only 14 :D

[sarah9191919]

@uhhhh45

Yah I do roller skating too lol

and I do competion too...

[JamiesCryin1]

Okay, I now how to get STARTED skating backwards, how do you KEEP GOING? And how to stop??

[arie645]

do your skates have toe stops? and to keep going you just keep with the movement she showed you.. it builds up the muscles in your legs... eventually you can branch off of that once you build them enough and get more comfortable

[tbrown9000]

Great point. I'l take the fear in that case as well. Thumbs up for the insight.

[arie645]

the falls are never that bad unless you are going really quick and hit something real hard and trust me eventually you learn to fall =)

[raleojay]

@arie645 Use your face as a cushion right! Or go when all the little or big people that dont know how to skate are in the beginner section!

[alpacaluvr4life]

@arie645 i went rollerskating with my friend last night and i fell down like atleast 400 times. it doesn't really hurt that much. I even fell face first and i was okay.

[shadowedstorm]

The fear of falling is often worse than the fall itself... unless you happen to fall down twenty stairs, ride the rail on your groin, and/or face plant at the end of said stairs.

[NQlaptop]

tru dat

[zomgbbqwth]

everybody has fears of falling~ :D

its all in the mind~ let it fall if going to fall~ no big deal~ is my advice~ :D

[5656bigsteve]

@shadowedstorm . You may have a point there. LOL.

[leonRedfield98]

@shadowedstorm man i loled so much when i saw your comment

[legocaptainfordo]

@shadowedstorm haha thats just like old cartoons

[TheJimbojones1980]

@shadowedstorm HAHAHAHAHAHA i proper lol'ed at this!

[pizzaman408]

@shadowedstorm bahahahahahah well put bro

[EROSXXX1881]

fuck fuckkkkk

[walatalalaw]

something about falling on roller skates or rollerblades:

when you're losing your balance, try to just sit down on the ground. you fall in a controled way, in stead of falling randomly. this way you've got let chances of hurting yourself

[milarneesinger]

hahahaha the fear of falling is worse than the fall well i wasnt scared untill i fell down the stairs at my house

[skedius]

While on roller skates?

[ScampStudioStar]

thanks it helped sooo much!

[Sgrockrgrl89]

[zizzycore]

[peterhollands90]

[TheVideos21]

skating is wayyyy to easy

[arie645]

basics yes... once you get complicated though..not so much lol

[sarah9191919]

@TheVideos21

You don't know half of it lolz

U know there is some roller skating trick called an axel?

Soooo hard!

[alex95shorty]

[12pulgadassincabeza]

[kuruptsoul]

Almost sounds like a sex ed video

[stoopidape]

wow thts the gay way to go backwards

[purplexpolarbear]

this is pretty bad. and one questions why dont they do these videos in rinks? thats normally where people rollerskate

[MrLemongecko]

omg try rollerbladeing lot more fun

[poopspoopspoops]

very useful, thanks alot

[odell3maccom]

there is a lot more than just backwards and forwards

[LaTina060890]

LOL... when she only moved one leg, she looked like she was doing the stanky leg...

[rares1996]

shit

[330sniper]

the one leg is easier then with both

[CosteaCalin]

i skate backwards easier than forward :D

[justinclev]

dude back wards is the best i skate hills backwards and race friends backwards

hell im almost as fast backwards as i am forwards

[xX3n1l10Xx]

super

[roudkilll]

nice:)

[scorpiogurl321]

Skating backwards is harder than skating forwards and you do fall way more but it's so much more fun skating backwards than it is forwards you just gotta pay attention to whats goin on in front and back of you or youll trip over somebody and trust me that doen't feel too good.

[bailey1950]

YES!!! You gotta practice practice practice.. I gotta get back skating.. I miss it.. plus is a great work out

[Gemstonecold]

i just got into skating like 2 months ago and got a pair of roller skates like a week after the first time i tried skating. so far i can jump, skip, moonwalk, and spin. i'd say skating backwards would be a breeze.

[RdKurama]

Now put up some instructional videos XD

[Gemstonecold]

i would but i dont have a camera :(

[dragonblade1100]

thanks you!;) that sonds simple

[magiccarbon]

shit

[sakura91880]

The beginner way of skating backwards on roller skates is the backwards swizzle in ice skating. I wonder if it's easier on roller skates or on ice skates...

[Lewa116]

they say ice skates are better but i haven't tried it yet...

[vcbploegb23]

ok gone try it. Thanks!!

[mcgyverful]

we can also look at , chopper ranks , on youtube
