These are inline skates and in the past week i put my buns on the line trying to master them doing a bunch of tricks and even trying to jump at the end i have never tried in my life but i’ve always wanted to learn inline skating so
Why not so as soon as i’ve got the skates i decided to start slowly and steady i don’t know how to do it i have no idea but i quickly realized that even just standing on these things was a bit harder than expected i don’t know what i’m doing then i
Decided to wear my beloved protections almost as if i knew what was gonna happen throughout all the video anyways i felt absolutely unstable like if the only direction i had a chance to move was vertical to the ground i need a flat surface let’s go there then i literally crawled
Towards a flat surface which helped a little bit but honestly i still wasn’t sure what i was doing as long as i don’t do anything it kinda works it’s not so bad i was kinda moving but at the end i always try to reach a poll or a really nearby to feel safe
But as i did with the jumping stills i knew that if i wanted to make progress i had to force myself to let go all the things that were keeping me up i feel like i’m getting it like this do i look stupid alright that’s enough that’s totally enough this was way
Better than expected still extremely scary though especially because i kept having the feeling i was gonna fall on my back at any moment but having said that after five minutes i’ve been able to move without grabbing stuff slow and extremely wobbling but i was moving that’s cool i need to
Push myself over the fear of falling which kind of sounds like the story of my life and even though i still failed and felt completely unstable i slowly started to get the feel for it and i was finally understanding how to keep the balance on the skates
All right i think i got it the thing that is really important if i wanted to avoid it happened before is to put all the way to the front pushing machines against the skates almost if i wanted to get over my toes with my knees like this i mean this works kind of
Slowly i started to get more confident and i’ve been us able to gain speed even more than expected actually i’m going super fast like actually maybe too fast i don’t know to stop i need to learn how to stop i have no idea i simply kept slowing down by riding on the grass
And trying not to fall i need to find a better way to do that the only problem is that i have no idea how to turn and i have no idea how to stop a slightly better way to do that consists in using a technique called t-stop kind of
And to do it in theory you need to bring one foot perpendicular to the other and simply press it against the ground that’s the theory let’s give it a try go like this and then yeah i had to fight for a while putting my bones in danger to stop the skates
Until finally something started to work instead of smashing the foot like i was doing the trick is shifting the weight to the front leg and slightly touch the ground with the other you see the biggest problem is that i turn i don’t know how to fix that then i
Kept trying but on a different surface and after failing for a bunch of times i started leaning more on the front foot and i tried to keep my body as straight as possible and this changed everything and here’s where the fun part begins because from now on i started trying
Really cool and difficult stuff but before that my girlfriend keeps making fun of my skating technique which is totally perfect in my opinion so i got our brand new skates and we’re gonna test her skills and while she does that apparently pretty well i wanna tell you how i completely transformed my mornings
Going from aimlessly browsing social media to getting valuable information every single day for free about whatever is happening in the world oh my god morning brew is a free daily newsletter delivered monday to sunday a lot of you recently asked me on instagram how i learned about crypto i simply read an
Article on morning brew how i came up with my most recent video idea morning brew once again it can’t really teach you how to ride skates though i genuinely love it because it gets me up to speed with business financing tech and it only takes five minutes of my day which is an
Unbelievable service compared to traditional news clickbait arrows boring articles and so on this is different way different link in description it literally takes five minutes a day to get smarter after you subscribe to morning brew and there is absolutely no reason not to do it it’s absolutely free and it only takes
15 seconds to subscribe thank you very much morning brew for sponsoring this video guys irena absolutely crushed me she’s so much better than me but just for now because the next step before trying the crazy jumps is learning how to get faster starting from sprinting to learn how to sprint
You need to keep the tip of your feet apart and when you start make a few close steps and push really hard with your legs the big problem is that my technique is pretty embarrassing i need to get better i kept practicing over and over until it didn’t look like
A sort of duck anymore the secret here is bending the knee flicking the feet at the end of the movement and trying to get as fluid as possible and it’s not that easy to be honest but once i got it this technique was allowing me to gain speed fast
Most of the times now the next step is about maintaining that speed and it’s called crossover because the only way i can turn right now is shifting the weight to the one side or the other and i’m not even sure if i can do that actually but the only problem with this technique
Is that it makes you slowly lose speed because you’re not actively pushing it and that’s why hockey players use the crossover consistently it basically consists in putting one foot a set of the other but while riding forward all right that’s right so basically like this
Oh my god this is so scary not sure if i can do it i started skating in circles trying to get more comfortable and it didn’t really work extremely uncomfortable after that i tried to do the crossover on my left and then on my right and i was extremely
Scared moreover if by any chance i stumbled that would be incredibly bad slowly i got more fluid even though bad things happened off camera but overall i was pretty happy with the results now i needed to jump you should go really fast but the current methods i
Was using to stop were simply not enough to save my life and that’s why i really needed to learn the power slide this movement looks extremely cool and hard and scary to learn and you can imagine how it went the first times i tried i kept falling in
So many creative ways and i could do absolutely nothing about it i simply kept trying a lot and i was so desperate that i could only laugh about how bad i was doing until i didn’t laugh anymore hundred percent heart zero percent technique i need to get better
I slowed down a little bit and i watched a few videos and i realized that while i was putting the majority of the weight on the sliding leg i should have done exactly the opposite i also had to turn the back foot like if i was about to ride
Backwards something i completely ignored before so i started trying again and i swear it was absolutely unexpected but i’ve been magically able to do it yes yes let’s go i’m getting it look at this yes yes like this it clicked that’s cool the key is turning the body a lot and the more
You do it the easier it gets i was absolutely crushed and done for the day but the next morning i finally decided to try the most exciting skill of the week jumps i wanted to see how i could jump in a matter of hours i was completely destroyed from the previous day
So after trying to make my first jumps my body implored me to check the theory first the most important thing to avoid while jumping is falling backwards obviously and through that it’s extremely important to control the movement of the arms if after jumping the arms end up
Vertical and then behind your back your butt will probably meet the ground in an unpleasant way after jumping you need to keep the arms always in front of your body always bending the knees and keeping the weight to the front and so i built up confidence and i started trying and unexpectedly
It didn’t go that bad i wasn’t doing huge jumps because i really didn’t want to fall again but i was having a ton of fun once i got the small jumps down i really pushed myself trying to jump as high as i could and i got consistently extremely close to break something
But then suddenly after 50 minutes this happened yes let’s go let’s go i had a ton of fun and hurt myself a lot but i hope you enjoyed this one shakes subscribe and click the bell for more skills every single week and follow me on instagram i’m following back one random person
Every week and remember it’s all about Practice
