The Fundamentals Live Recording 📹

23h (edited) • General🛼

We had a great call going over some of what I consider to be, the fundamentals of roller skating.

I felt the need to explain the fundamentals because it's what I teach every week in all my beginner classes, and it applies to even the more advanced skills skaters are trying to develop. I thought this would be useful for the most amount of people.

I focus on three main concepts in this lesson, which are:

Edges
Weight distribution
Weight transfer from one foot to the other

When you understand some of these key concepts, then you start to understand what you're doing with your body or what someone else is doing when you're watching and trying to learn from someone else. That helps you focus and duplicate more effectively.

I give examples for beginner levels and advanced levels, and some drills on how to practice it and explanations on understanding it. Tell me what y'all think.
