Jumping Onto a Curb: Learn How to Rollerblade: Free Rollerblading Video Lesson

Video Transcript

" Hey guys Adam Silverstein here again on behalf of Expertvillage.com. Now I just showed you guys how to jump. In this next step I am going to show you how to actually jump on to the different elevated surface. This is when it gets a little tricky so hang with me. What we need to do is exactly what we did before when we jumped. We bend our knees, keeping our feet together, jump and bring them up under us. Okay and now we have to compensate for a different surface so what we are going to do is when we are coming down and landing we are going to keep our knees super bent to compensate for the change in the elevation. Now watch it as I do it over here and watch how my body reacts when I come up to the second surface. So we are going to push off just like before, jump with both feet and land on the other surface. Nice. Nice. Now, now what you have got to remember is when you are jumping up higher like that on to an elevated ground you are going to have land a little lower so you are going to bend your knees even more suctioning to the ground. Watch me do it one more time. So I push off, both knees together, jump on to the surface. Awesome. "
