SKATE PARK ROLLER SKATING for the FIRST TIME | Roller Skate Beginner Vlog Day 21

Good afternoon everybody! It's day 21 and we are here at the skate park and I am scared! There's people here. There's two skateboarders and a biker. They're gonna think I'm so silly and I'm wearing this bright pink shirt and I'm scared. Here, look. Could you see them? They look like they're really good skateboarders. I'll tell them that I'm not gonna get in their way. I promise. I'll keep to myself. I'll stay in my own lane. I won't bother anybody. I'll just stay far away. Nobody will even know I'm there. I'll be invisible. Okay, let's try this. Okay, I'm ready. I'm ready to face my fears. We're gonna do this. I can do this. We can do this. Let's do this. Okay, let's go. I should have brought a friend. I should have brought Amelia. The concrete is so smooth. Oh, this is a great spot right here. I'll just fall sitting down on the camera. Okay, I'm just gonna try and stay upright. Hey everybody, it's Editing Lindsey here and clearly we are off to a very good start today. So, I took an attempt there, fell, and immediately, uh, regretted my decision of going to the skate park. I'm just kidding. No, it was actually pretty fun. So, couldn't really make it up the side of anything without falling, so I decided that I was going to do a couple things to warm up. There's a manual. There's another one. I did some spins earlier because I was thinking that's probably a good idea to, like, get my bearings so I could, like, really feel it out a little bit. That was a pretty good spin. Still worked on some of these from yesterday. Whoops. Thought I should do some crossovers and turnarounds. Also, while I was doing this, I was like, I think I should probably prove to the skateboarders that I am not just, like, unable to stand up at all. Like, I can stand up at least. Like, I can keep myself upright and do some things. Oh yeah, and a car wheel. I can do a car wheel and a handstand. This is probably my best move. I'm sure nobody was paying any attention at all, but it made me feel like, well, at least I can do this. If I can't make it up the ramps at all, at least I can hold a handstand. And we are back to trying again, and man, I cannot make it up at all. I just fall. This is exactly what I think would happen, is just me straight falling. I don't know how to balance my weight when my feet are tilted. Here we go again, and clearly just the most pitiful attempt that you have ever seen. I'm going at it super slow. I'm very scared. I'm very out of place here. I cannot figure out how to balance this. It's a heart attack every time. Every time that my feet touch the slippery metal, I thought that my wheels were gonna slip out from under me. It was so scary. Okay, I'm gonna go really hard, and if I don't make it, I'm just gonna put my feet down. I'm just gonna go really hard and see if I can make it to the top. Props to me on figuring this out. This is a much better strategy. While it wasn't perfect, there was definitely like some sort of momentum that was helping me to make it up, which is definitely what I needed. I kind of made it. I kind of made it to the top. Now we're on to something. I've definitely figured it out, and now I just have to go even harder every time. And then work my way down the handrail. That's totally why they put that there, right? Yep, almost. And working my way down again. So close. Oh, yes! Yes, I made it. That was such a good one. That was the best one. I mean, a little secret. It does get better, though. Made it. Barely. Let's do it again now. Oh, yay. That was so good. That was such a good one. And yes, I definitely have this down. I was getting a little bit tired, so I decided to do some jumps. Almost a full there. Not really that close on that one. That was a weird half. Whoops. That was actually one of the better ones. My feet almost landed. Oh, that was actually a really good one, too. Yeah, those two, I almost had the full 360 there. Do I have to practice going down now? Going down seems way scarier than going up. And this is exactly what happens when you are afraid of the second part of a move. You do not complete the first part of the move, so then you do not have to make it to the second part of the move. It makes perfect sense. So I came up with a little idea here. I was like, I'll just give it a little try. Success. Okay, I'm going to do a back and forth thing. I'll practice on both sides. This also turned out to be a very good strategy. So I start out slow. I can barely do this. I can barely make it up. I'm kind of doing this thing where I kind of go up, turn, and put my foot there, and then I kind of go down. That was not a very good one. Oh, and that was, so that was why I started doing the half turn with the foot up kind of thing, because doing straight up and straight down was not working. That was a good one. I'm going to continue doing that because that worked. That one, I did not like. I think I got caught in the little bump. I'm still struggling here. Whoops. Yep. Story of my life. I am very wobbly. I feel like I have business being here, but I really want to be able to do this. I really want to be able to go up and down and jump and flip. So I guess you got to start somewhere, right? And here we go. So I know what I'm getting into here, and this is going to be just a total mess, but I'm going to learn from this. So this first couple were pretty low, and I was like, maybe that'll make a cool pass, and here we go. Starting to fall. I cannot figure out that close slopey one for some reason. I've, I'll come back to that one another day, definitely, and cannot make it up that other one. Yeah, I do not know what I'm doing here. Feeling pretty defeated. Can't figure it out, but I'm just going to keep trying. I'm going to go at this harder. Yes. See, that was way better, and I realized that. I'm like, let's get momentum. Let's gain. Come on. Going harder. Feet a little slippery, though. Can't get high enough. Come on, faster. I just keep doing this and doing this until I figure this out. I'm pretty sure this actually goes on for a really long time. Whoa! Oh, I went for it and didn't exactly make it. I have to walk myself down again. That's getting pretty ridiculous. Went really high foot on that one. Come on, here we go. We're getting close. Come on. Come on. Are we gonna make it? Not yet. This is getting pretty confident, though. I've realized that if I fall while going up the slopey ramp on the left, that I can catch myself. Come on. That was almost there. Okay, yeah, I slowed that down on purpose so I could do that. I should have just kept going, though. I was almost there. I can barely even walk, honestly. What am I doing here? Okay, and here we go again. I mean, this is just what it takes. You just have to keep practicing and practicing until you get something. I bet I make it on this one. Come on. Oh, that was a very high one. It was good. I'm getting pretty high on that other ramp, too. Is that what that's called? Yes. Yes, that was very good. Yes, yes, yes. Finally. Oh, come on. I thought we were over this. Okay. But see, that's the next task, is figuring out how to go down. Oh, and I've realized I can do it. Yes, that was so good. Yeah, I'm basically making it to the top of that one every time now. Come on. Even if I have to reach a little bit. And down again. Yes, finally. I've figured out the up. I've figured out the down. And here we go with some confident circles. And a jump. Yeah. Come on. Oh, I basically made that one already. I'm still just falling all over the place. There's a lot of room for improvement here. But at least I kind of accomplished some goals. Definitely wanted to make it up to the top of that ramp. And I wanted to make it down after I realized, what do you do when you make it to the top? Well, you have to go down, and down is scarier than up. Fun. And these are the last couple turns here. So, I've figured out how to make it up on the side ramp, and I can kind of almost make it to the top of that one. But what I really want to do is a little combo. So I go up, I throw my full jump, and that's today. Tired now. Okay, and that's it for today. A lot more people showed up, and I think they wanted to use my spot. That was fun. That was really fun. I made it to the top, and I didn't fall like a ton. I definitely fell a lot, but just normal little falls, just onto my hands. So I consider that a success. Definitely going to be coming back, but earlier, because I don't want to skate with people around still. Okay, I'll see you tomorrow. Bye!
