Learning ROLLER SKATE JUMPS for the FIRST TIME...This Is what happened | Beginner Roller Skating #43

Today I have a plan. I saw a trick the other day that I really want to learn. What I saw it being called is Zen Air. And so what Zen Air is, is it looks like you are doing like this or this in the air. I'll show you a video. So that's it. So I think that looks really cool and that's something I want to do. So I'm going to try and learn that today. But the problem is I basically haven't been above the rim line of the half pipe here. First step is getting some air on the half pipe. So I think I'm going to work on that first. Oh yeah. Also I need to work on just being able to do it on the ground I think. So that is also the plan of attack. First step warm up. Second step work on doing it on the ground. Like just jumping into that I think. And then third step will be going to the half pipe warming up. Then half pipe trying to get as high as I can trying to get some air. And then fourth step will be trying to do that in the air. So let's get started. I also came up with this idea. I think I'm going to have you guys like comment and vote on skills that I should work on. I think that would be fun because I'm having trouble picking out what skills I want to learn next and what skills like would be a good progression. So if you guys want to comment below what skills you think I should learn and then vote then that'll totally work. Also let me know if you think I should learn more tricks or dance moves because I kind of like learning tricks but I know there's some like essential dance moves that I should learn too. Also do you guys see this yellow thing in the background? I want to jump over that. I don't know what this is but I want to jump over this. That was the first time I've ever jumped over anything. It's not that high. Yeah I'd say I pretty much got that down. I should find something higher to jump over but not too high. Probably that. Dude that's like so high. I mean I have an ample supply of interesting implements over here. Let's do these first. I'll jump over this. This looks more my height here. I rolled into that as a snail's cave but I made it over and I for a second there I was like I'm dead but I wasn't dead. I'm fine. Let's do it again. It was a piece of cake. Okay I want to go over to the bigger one now but I'm starting to realize that if I were to fall doing this that is just like immediate death. Like I don't know how how the landing from the fall would be safe in any way but I need to do this. My nemesis. All foot and three inches of height. Will it take me down or will I take it down? It could win and if I make it over then that's kind of a win but like I think it has more probability of winning. But here we go. I think all my other ones are pretty safe. I have no reason to be afraid other than it's so tall. It's so tall. Okay as I was going into that I'm like this is so freaking tall. Let's do it a couple more times. What was I doing again? I remember I was doing something that was important. Ah we were working up the zen air. Yes. Uh let's get back to that now. I need to try that on the ground. How am I gonna do this? I'm just gonna jump up and try and touch my feet like that. This is gonna be so hard. What if my feet get tangled? What do you think the probability of my feet getting tangled are? Slim? These wheels buckle things. They could get tangled. Let's just try try to hop like that. Actually my wolf jumps weren't that great either. We're gonna try this anyway. Should I just try jumping? This might be harder than doing it on there. I don't know. No I should be able to do both. This is gonna be so hard. It's gonna be so hard. I think I'm more afraid of this than jumping over that thing. Okay ready set. It was so low. It was so low. There was no crossing. It was just a bad tuck jump. Maybe? What do we think? Is that okay? I'll do it. I'm getting power. I'm getting power. Not too much. Not too much power. That was nothing. That was so bad. That was just a bad tuck jump. Okay there was some crossing action. I could see the one leg crossing. I'll have to freeze frame that to see if I actually like if it looked like anything in the air. Let me try a couple more times to really hit that position. Oh no no. I absolutely panicked. I panicked on that. Okay very little zen but there was some height. Zenness. Was that 50% zen 50% just going for it? Let's try for 100% zen. Oh no no. Then hope for the most zen. I have a feeling what I'm doing in the air is mostly just this. Like that. Like maybe I have this front leg up. I don't think I have the back leg up. I think the commitment level is like 60%. Like I've committed 50% and 10%. Okay 100% commitment level. Here we go. I just put my chest down. I put my chest down to make it look higher when in actuality it doesn't do anything. That's what they teach you in gymnastics. When you do like a jump putting your chest down lower to your leg it's just bad. It doesn't make it look any higher. It only makes it look higher to you because you're lowering your upper body down to your lower body. So I need to keep my chest up is what I'm saying. Then there was some crossing action. So you would think with the word zen in it it would be like peaceful and restful and I think I have a feeling that it looks like if I were to freeze that picture that it looks like I am just working so hard because I am. It is not peaceful. It is not restful. It is hard work to try and get my legs up that high and not fall. Okay but I think that's probably good enough. That's the best I'm going to do. So let's move on to step number three. Step number two. One of those steps which is going to be going to the half pipe and trying to get as high as I can and getting some air. Really good about that warm-up for a second there. Basically right until the very end. So I was going back and forth and I'm like I am getting my top foot basically to that pipe up there to the to the rim of this and then I was like what would it be like to like leave the half pipe? What if I got some air at the top and so when I was at the top of the last one I was thinking can I lift my feet up and get some air because that's what I'm gonna have to do and for that split second I was terrified. So now I don't know how I'm gonna do this. I think I'll have to try. It's gonna be terrifying. On the plus side though when I hopped on it today I felt like it wasn't as high as it used to feel so that's probably good because it used to feel way higher. Even last time I was on it I was like this feels so high but now this time I was like okay this isn't that big it's not like I'm dropping into a 40 foot half pipe. Not that I would know what that is like or anything. This is the biggest half pipe I've ever been on. The only half pipe I've ever been on. So yeah let's try to get some air and let's see how that goes. I'm gonna try not to fall from 10 feet in the air here. Okay trying to get air over on this side right about there. The problem here so when you get up to the rim of the half pipe there's like a lip. This isn't flush. What am I supposed to do with that? How am I supposed to deal with that? Am I supposed to leave before? Am I supposed to take off? Well I mean the angle there angled me right into that lip. This is so hard. This is so hard. How do people do this? my roller skate like kind of like twists inward or something. I don't know. It just makes me wobble and so I'm like what happens if I do this thing and I have so much power and I don't know how to come out of it and I go up and I wobble. I don't want to wobble out of it and then fall out of the wobble. Also how how do people get air? How are people getting air out of this? I guess I could pump harder. I can like really push down. So it's so scary. How do people do this? They make it look so easy. They make it look so easy and it's so not. It's so not easy. Let's keep trying. We're going serious mode activated. I have a hair tie. Can't be letting my hair get in the way. Here we go. I tried. I tried. Okay uh it was such a dumb try too. Like I kind of like I definitely tried to get some air but I also just I came down out of it and I think I put my feet wrong or something and then I just twisted and fell. It wasn't even like all that close. Okay okay let's try this again. Fully fully intact here. We we all good. We safe and sound but we uh not accomplishing anything here. Maybe I did. Trying. Trying and attempting is an accomplishment. Facing your fears is an accomplishment. Also making sure the thing is clear. I had that leaf there. It bothered me the whole time. Mini success. Mini success. There was air and it was at the top. Now it wasn't anywhere near over the top but it was at the top which is definitely better than I've ever done. I really want to do this today so let's try again and we're gonna try and get the air over the top. Also gonna make a TikTok while I do this. Let's get some air. Wobbling. It's because my skates are going like a bubble. Yeah it feels super wobbly when it happens so I need to stop that from happening. I actually like clinged the top of my skate onto the top of the edge and I was not ready for that but there was some level of commitment there so I need to appreciate that. Let's try this a couple more times. Trying to get over the top. I really want to get over the top. I leaned back so far on that it scared me. You know I went for that. I'm gonna get destroyed. I honestly don't remember what happened there. I kind of went up high and then I just didn't catch myself on the way down I guess. I don't know. One last try. It's gonna be a good safe try and I'm gonna finish on a good note. Okay I wish I could have gotten it but some days aren't like that. Some days you just you end up not hitting your goals and that's today. Okay I'll see you guys tomorrow. Bye!
