What’s up Skate Fam! Welcome to the community. Thrilled to have you here. Take a sec to introduce yourself, doesn’t have to be fancy or complicated. Just be yourself. …ill go first. 👋🏽My name is Knejie Allen. I’ve been skating for 10 years. Currently rolling in custom Riedell 3200s w and arius plate and probably some slick wheels (95A+). Im in Kansas City and own a Skate school, SK8SHOT Studios.

Friday activity time at the high school was just the perfect amount of time for skate lessons. This is the jr high sister of one of my older students who found out I’m starting to skate. She’s a legend at her local rink. We worked on backward turns and backward skating. She was a great teacher ! We had quite the audience.

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.

Hey fellow skaters! If you guys don’t know me my name is Adriana. I’m a new instructor at SK8SHOT Studios. What are you guys working on/ struggling with or even interested in learning. I’ll make tutorials and educational content for you guys! Just let me know 😇 ⬇️ Drop some ideas ⬇️

What’s everyone working on? I’m trying some choreo, continuing to finesse spins, pivots, drilling edges, getting more comfortable with manuals…
