7 Beginner-Friendly Roller Skating Skills for the Skate Park

Hey, I'm Dez. And I'm Jenna. And we're going to be showing you what you should be doing your very first day at the ski park. Oh, we're rolling? Yeah. Oh, right, right, right. Okay. When you go to the park, you're going to want to make sure you have a roller skate certified helmet to protect your head at all times. As well as having quality pads on. Having quality pads makes it so that when you fall, it's more protective and you're not going to hurt yourself as much. I will link the pads that we have in the description below. Find different sizes of banks and work on staggering your feet to roll up and down them. Make sure you start small and work your way up on the banks. Find a quarter and work on carving in both directions. Make sure your feet are staggered and not side by side. So next, we're going to be coming up to a bank or a quarter, going up it, and coming out fakie. We're going to make sure that when we come back down, we're looking behind us and we're aware of our surroundings at all times. When you're coming up a bank with a rougher transition, you're going to want to elongate your stagger so you don't lose your footing when you come back down. Sometimes we miscalculate the speed needed to get up a bank, so learning to use our toe stops can be a useful skill to help you get up the rest of the way. Next we can start thinking about doing some 180 jumps on flat as well as in transition. As an introduction to the box, we'll practice stepping on and off of it just to start getting comfortable. Next we can start learning some toe stop stalls. Thanks for watching. We hope you learned lots. Stay tuned for part two. Happy skating!
