I did both of those things in this video. I showed the mistake (the V-ingest down position) and then I show the correction (the straight ahead set down). I even give you access to 3 free drills that will help you fix the problem. I also explain why I think the problem emerges (because skaters are trying to copy high level speed skaters) but unfortunately failing. I obviously need to do more videos on this topic.

Yes we couldn't resist them. We had finished a Street Skills class and were skating back when we came across them. I couldn't not spend 20 minutes there. When you find steps like this (or 2 or 3 even) it's worth using them. They help build convince so much.

It depends on you speed actually. If youre going very slowly then this makes things much more unstable (even without a heel brake) as then you sort of roll off each step individually with each skate, whereas with a scissor and a little more speed your tend to land both skates at the same time. With that kind of speed Im showing in the video you can keep the heel brake on and have it on the front skate (which is your most comfortable scissor and therefore the safest one). Don't remove the heel brake until you have 2-3 reliable non-heel brake stopping methods that stop you from your highest speeds (regardless of what anyone else tries to tell you). Don't be bullied to remove it unless you have those other methods comfortably fluent. I also suggest learning the new methods with your heel brake on of course and only removing it when you haven;t actually touched it or used it for 2-3 months because you've successfully used the other methods. What tends to happen is people think they're ready (is this is the challenge) and then in critical oh m god situations they use the brake. This tells you you aren't ready to remove it because your body isn't; confident in the other methods. I hear about too mnay people removing their brake for whatever reason and then having stopping issues, falls, injuries. It's just not worth it.

Agree completely!

Sinto mucho que te has lesionado. Vuelve con calma y domina todas las técnicas básicas sin prisa. Y flexiona bien las rodillas. Este es el segrego principal de no caerse para atrás. OK? Un abrazo.

Most edging issues like pronation or supination (in your case) should first be worked on by using the knee bend direction. Knees should be bent forwards (till knee cap covers the toes) and then the knee direction can go inwards in your case towards the big toe until the outside edge of the front wheel (as you look down at it) changes from the outside to the centre (middle) of the wheel. It will feel to you as if you are a bit "knock-kneed" as it wont be familiar angling your knees inwards in this way but it will fix your supination. You can then do these scooting exercises with your support skate (the non-pushing leg) being on a centre edge and not an outside edge. This kind of training will fix your supination without you having to buy new skates. It's not the equipment that creates the issues, it's almost always our bodies which are not equal left and right and which have unique tendencies which come out on inline skates. I hope this helps. Let us know how you go.

@@SkatefreshVideos wow thanks a lot for this detailed response! As someone in his early 40s just starting to skating I try to be as safe as possible since things do not heel like when I was 20. I already tried some of your trial courses, I just need to convince my wife that I NEED to buy them 😬. Regards from Germany!

Thanks so much!

Que bom que te ajudou. Aproveite de seus patins sem dores e com os pés relaxados. Um abrazo

I agree! I'm loving being on 4x90s

This place is Hove Lawns in Brighton, UK. My home town.

No tengo planes ahora para viajar a sur America.....pero me gustaría ....

Go for it! The technique points are the same on inlines. If you need some help making the turns tighter and tighter here's a free lesson you can use from my website which goes into a lot more detail about how the Lunge turn is made; Click Free Trial on this page for access; skatefresh.com/product/how-to-skate-intermediate-level-full-course/

Thank you and I'm happy this video was useful. Check out the other videos on the beginner inlines playlist and also the free in-depth lessons on my website (full list in the description box with links).

Un abrazo Carlos. Me alegro que en septiembre voy a volver a BCN, después de tantos anos fuera....

You're welcome 😊

@@SkatefreshVideos ❤️

You aren't alone and almost all new skaters lean forwards (because they don't want to fall backwards), but it creates a whole host of other problems. Please let us know how you felt on your skates. You'll need to use your core muscles to stay upright when rolling, but hey, there's the exercise of skating! Enjoy.

@@SkatefreshVideos it definitely felt weird/different, that’s for sure! It took a lot of mental focus to make sure I stayed in the right position. But yea, my abs are sore from skating this weekend! 😂

For many people it is because the bounce stops you from hesitating or going in slow-motion which doesn't work. However, it is not the best option when going much faster, xo later on you may need to develop one of the other methods when you have much higher speeds.

Thanks. I feel like it';s all forgotten as I haven't spoken since the pandemic. But returning to Spain this September so hoping it will return.
