IT"S HER FIRST TIME ON SKATES!!

My 8 year old girl just started skating. She wants me to join her. So here I am. Wish me luck.

I am so glad you teach falling because that’s very important.✌🏽🖤🎶

My parents used to dance whenever they went skating. Loved to watch them. I loved skating, but couldn’t dance like them.

🧡 Pre-skate and I mean pre-skate (like at home) do ankle exercises daily to stretch and strengthen the muscles and ligaments in the ankles. Rotational exercises of the ankle like in ballet or dance. Imperative for preparation of the body for such movement 🔸flex/point and gentle rotational of

She did an amazing job for 1st time on her skates! Kudos to you too Coach Diamond !

Amazing teacher!! TAMPA? I don't know? I'm 76. Not in good physical shape. If I fell on him I might hurt him or someone else! To protect everyone I'll stay here and just pretend it's me taking his lessons!!! Lol. Love watching these skaters. They're so great. 😂

I'm currently taking one on one lessons. Listening to you explain the need to initially scrape as I turn is game-changing advice because scraping teaches me to apply pressure downward and builds my muscle memory to learn balancing my own weight as I move. I hope I make sense. Thank you very much, sir!

Thanks for this awesome training video! I think incorporating the trainee in the video for demonstration is a great idea.

Thank you so much for showing us the super basics for getting used to being on skates. So many times instructors suggest learning bubbles right away, and that’s just not something I’m confident with yet! I feel like your technique will help with my confidence.

You're so patient. What a wonderful instructor.

Awesome. Luv ur style of teaching.

you look like an excellent instructor, and i just subscribed to your channel!! it's been at least 40 years since i was on skates, and i wasn't that skilled or confident even then!! both of my kids were!! however, i've been wanting to roller skate again for years, so at 74 years old, i recently bought skates!! 😩after my protective gear arrives (next friday) i intend to search for an instructor that teaches old folks like me!! i wish you lived near silver spring, md. 😆i can't wait to learn to skate again, and I'm determined that it will happen!!! 👍🏾👍🏾

I use to skate when I was younger. We all went skating and my dad had went flying around me and didn't know when his skate got cought on mine and he more less tripped me and I went down my feet both went out from under me and I went down on my butt. It hurt when it first happen and went away. I was 21 then. When I was 27 I was pregnant with my son and the pain in my butt came back and after he was born it went away. Now last year the pain in my butt is back. It's my tail bone and I can't sit for long I'm on pain pills for it. So please be careful on how you fall cause it will come back on you and you don't need that pain. Beleave me it don't tickle.

I fell hard and fast yesterday on my shoulder. Im 47. Pain was excruciating 😣. Im going to try again after i heal. I did exactly what you said..i fell right back AGAIN! SMDH. I couldn't plan for those falls.

New Subie! I just found your channel and subscribed immediately because your style of teaching and explaining everything is just so gentle. I bought myself a pair of skates for my birthday two months ago, and by the time I took them out the box and tried them on, I fell super hard! It was like watching Melman the Giraffe on skates 😫I was all wobbly and hit the floor hard as hell in seconds. Sadly I threw the skates back in the box and havent put them back on since, but after being calmed by your videos I might give it another try. Thanks so much

Man, you are a good instructor.

What a great job for your first time on skates! Great tutorial/lesson, very kind and informative!!

good job...I still teach beginners because that's exactly what sets the tone for the future.

Great video , just started again and going to practice falling and getting up !!!!

SHE'S AWESOME AND SO ARE YOU!!! KEEP ROLLING 💪💪💪🛼🛼⛸️⛸️❤❤
