What are they doing when they roller skate like this?

So i go to a skating rink, and they make a line and skate super fast. And they all know the exact move each others going to make. Its like a dance, on skates. They only use it on hip hop songs though. I wanna learn it, but i dont know what its called or anything. Does anybody know what it is? :b Its ticking me off. lol. Im a pretty decent skater, and i want to learn it.

  • It’s called shuffle skating, and usually you will see it with a bit of smaller area footwork called jam-skating. On youTube search jamskateaddiction for jam skate moves, and shuffle skate for the longer line movements. The movie “Roll Bounce” has a lot of these moves.

    It’s all about front/back balance, and you already skate, so you’re well on your way!

  • I was wondering what that was called too… I never join in but its fun to watch. It was a little intimidating at first when there is this big pack of skaters barreling down on you in formation, but they just skate around you… I just tuck in and let them pass me by.

    Most skaters I’ve met are pretty friendly, you can probably just go up to one of them and ask about it and see if you can join in!
