I used to know how to skate a little when I was younger. I decided I want to learn for real now I’ll be 57 in few weeks and I have arthritis in the knees. I just got my skates this week and have been practicing in the house first,mainly for balance. I’ve been watching and practicing your 7 minute video and I can tell the difference already. Even my knees feel better. I’m going to go outside and practice that video this weekend and can’t wait to try this one. My friends laughed when I told them I’m going to take up skating since I’m older and not in the best shape. Not the worst but not the best either. But I feel I can do this, especially since I can relate to you. You look like my daughters. I have 5 ! Keep making your videos I’m watching and learning and I love your new split screen technique. Also I have an autistic grandson, age 13 who is non verbal. I see you ❤. Love this and I’m going to do this! I love the way you teach!! ❤

Ladie I’m with you. I’m 61 and just started back skating after 40 plus years n I’m loving it. I too have arthritis in one knee but I skate anyway. Some times I’ll take a Tylenol before when I wanna skate for 3 hours or more 😂 but it’s a life changer for me. We got this ladies. Love❤

See if your autistic grandson would like to go skating with you if you haven't thought of that already. As someone also on the spectrum, a lot of autistics feel left out, and he might feel especially so as non verbal. Skating might be a little harder for him at first because autism messes with physical coordination at first, but if he likes it and you encourage him, he may love it, and then you have a buddy.

Love this! My biggest problem with backwards skating so far isn't the actual skating itself, but that whenever I start to actually look behind me when I do it I start to lean to turn to the side, no matter how straight I try to keep my shoulders. Also I still haven't been able to nail transitions without consistently falling on my ass 😅
@swvsnick
8 ай бұрын
when you skate, try to skate around an oval shape, like most skate rinks, and then as you skate backwards, look over the shoulder on the inside of the rink, so when you turn it's within the rink shape and you don't crash into anything because you're not looking. Maybe turn your head just 90 degrees and use your peripheral vision or move your eyes the rest of the way, that could be it. I'm also struggling with transitions too. Invest in some kneepads and train yourself to fall on your knees in a sliding direction, it'll hurt less. Odds are you aren't opening up for your transitions enough, so look up drills for hip flexibility. I've been told I open all the way up but then get scared and pull my feet back in lol so that's also possible. Start them stationary and really get the opening up down, multiple times and then move a little faster so you can't get away with not opening up all the way. As we say on the derby team: 'if you're not falling you're not learning!' good luck!

I am still working on my balance and posture going forward. I am really struggling to get my body position right. I think I'm doing it right, until I watch the video of me that I recorded. Then I'm like, "Oh dear!" It's all wrong! I hope someday soon I'll get it right. I would love to move on and start learning some new things. Great video! I am saving it in my skating playlist so I can refer back to it once I've gotten forward skating down. Thank you for sharing this!

Come home tonight, listened to this. You said that and now I can go backwards. It was my trucks holding me back. Not the spankin new skates.
