Hello everyone, welcome to another beginner's skating tutorial here on the

Flying Eagle YouTube channel. My name is Ricardo and my name is Jalen. Jalen is my

daughter and together we are teaching you how to skate. On the first lesson we

were teaching you what you need on your first lesson, how should your skates

fit and the size of your socks. Extremely important. Make sure to go watch

that one. On the second one we thought you how to stand up, how to sit and how to

fall. Exactly and today we are going to teach you how the skates work. So as you

can see my feet are parallel and because my feet are parallel they won't move.

Jalen is making a letter with her feet and that is a V. But you can also make

two more letters. You can actually make a hell, right? If it's completely open or if

you point, oh that's another T. There's two ways of making a T. I never do

that. Usually what I do is I put my back wheel against the middle of the

skates. Make like this. Like this. Yes. With the back wheel against the middle of

the other skate and that makes a T. And T. It's not T to drink. It's a T to

stay in the same position. While you are in this position you shouldn't be going

anywhere. But if you start pointing your knees forward you're going to feel like

your skates want to move. Right? So try to stay with your knees on top of your

feet. Try to keep your feet as straight as possible. Now Jalen if we put our

feet parallel meaning that they are in the same position just like this. They

shouldn't go anywhere. But if you move your knees once again they're going to

start doing weird things. So try to keep your knees in that position on top of

your feet. Now if I am here I can put even my hands on my hips. Here if we are

in this position but if we open our toes what's going to happen? We're going to

slide. Where are you going to go? Forward. Now Camilla Camilla Camilla Camilla

back to where you were. So we know if we open our toes they're going to tend to

go forward. But if we open our heels they're going to go backwards. Okay you can

come back to the same position. So we know how do we stay in the same position

Jalen? Good. Or even parallel. So now we know if our feet open like this

basically what we know is our feet tend to open. So if we point the toes out they

go forward. If we point the heels out they go backwards. This will be important

later to learn how to stop. Now also very important. If you do these with your

feet together like this they are not as reactive. Meaning if you keep your heels

one against the other they don't really want to go forward. But if you try to do

the same with your feet a little bit spread then they want to go forward right

away. What we learn here is the more spread they are the more reactive they are.

So now we're going to use this to learn how to stop. We are ready not to go

forward. We are ready not to go backwards. So now we're going to do this look we

go forward we make a lemon and now we go backwards. And without even thinking we

went from forwards to backwards. And this is how you stop with skates. Now very

important we know that if your feet are too close they don't react as quick as

if they are far. So if I'm going to do this and if I try to stop here it's

dangerous because sometimes they can touch and I just dive forward. But if I try

to stop with their more apart then it's more effective. So if we go faster we

want to stop with the feet more far apart. And that was it. Thank you so much for

watching this third lesson this third tutorial on out-of-skate for beginners

anything else? And I forget to like and subscribe. Good that's exactly what it is

high five cheers and see you on the next one. Bye. Thank you Janet.
