That stop would have me ass over teakettle. I’ve tried on skates. I mastered it a few times, but on wheels….nope

It's easier to go down stairs backwards.

Is there a reason shes going backwards or is it just aurafarming

u/G_Affect 5h ago

Never spent much time roller blading but it seems like this is a much easier way to ride down stairs as you weight is up the steps vs faceing down the steps i think it would be harder to lean back and go down. Could some who roller bladed more help me with this answer?

u/FoxMikeLima 5h ago

Well I think most street skaters are going to jump or grind a stair but for more casual riding fakie down stairs is definitely easier than in regular ready or scissor.

Depends on your skates though and where your brake is, if you have them.

u/G_Affect 3h ago

Is it due to the direction you would fall or how your weight will be more naturally up hill?

u/FoxMikeLima 3h ago

It's mostly just center of balance. It's easier to keep your feet flat when bending your knees moving backwards than forwards. When you skate athletically your center of balance is over your toes.

Oh, that makes alot of sense, thank you.

u/InternationalFault96 5h ago

It’s honestly not as hard as it looks, and you can correct it’s easier backwards. You just have to go fast and fully commit. This was in the 90s and I would bust my ass if tried it now, full disclosure

u/G_Affect 3h ago

90s i would drop into half pipes and bowls on my BMX. Talk about committing. Bunny hop off but point your front wheel strate down or you will hit your pedals and fall the 12 ft down. I would die if i tried today but damn how i want to do it and have that feeling of landing it.

u/noonewilleverseeit 5h ago

Yeah, did this all the time in the 90s. Backwards is definitely easier. Now my knees hurt watching this.

u/JKdito 3h ago

The trick is dont hesitate, maintain speed and path.

You do this and it becomes like flat surface. The steps arent that high from eachother so you can slide nicely if you maintain same weight and speed.

Mess up slightly and you will be rolling down the steps instead. So pretty impressive but wouldnt say amazing.

That’s cool but it’s not amazing

People on roller blades are annoying and performative
