Okay, hello everyone, welcome to the Flying Eagle YouTube channel.

In this series we are going to teach you how to skate.

My name is Ricardo Lino and my name is Geron.

Geron is my daughter and we're going to go through the basics of skating.

On this first lesson we're going to teach you all what you need on your first day teaching

your kid how to skate.

Geron, what do you have here for us to learn how to skate without this thing?

Because this is for later.

We have skates.

Can you show me your skates?

Okay, so these skates are the Flying Eagle 90-A-ND.

These are size adjustable.

So when I press this button they can go bigger or smaller.

But I'm not trying to sell a skate.

I just want you to know what we have here.

The 90-A-ND, what are those?

Neat pads.

Yes, the protections are extremely important.

Especially when someone is starting to get a little bit more confidence.

Neat pads, do you know the name of those?

No.

Helbo pads.

Helbo pads.

And we use these on elbows obviously because when we fall backwards it may be dangerous.

So those ones, do you know the name of those?

No.

Hand pads.

No, clothes but those are wrist guards.

The wrist guards are extremely important because the wrist guards

are going to protect your wrist from breaking.

So while the knee pads and wrist guards and the elbow pads are more

for the scuffing, these ones are actually going to protect the bone more than anything.

And then you have something else there.

What is it?

The helmet.

And you know what is this is extremely important.

If you can only choose one protection this would be the one.

Okay?

This is for scuffing, for impact for everything.

And do you know what is also extremely important to bring with you every single time

not just when you're learning to skate?

Do you know?

Skates.

Skates?

Skates you already spoke about.

And let me see your socks.

Can I see your socks?

Long socks.

Yes, long socks are extremely important.

And Jillian already had that problem before.

What happened to you when you used short socks?

It doesn't feel nice.

Yes, and what happened to your legs?

They had a bubble like a head and a mouth.

Yes, so basically you always want the socks to go higher than the top of the skate.

Because otherwise sometimes the top of the skate can burn your skin

and it's extremely uncomfortable.

So if it's a whole new thing, you want them to be very, very comfortable.

So yeah, long socks are extremely important.

Not just when you're learning to skate, but for everyone that it's skating.

And now I'm going to help Jillian to put the protections

and you may be wondering how much should I tight my skates?

What size should the skates be?

Well, if you didn't bought your skates yet, size adjustable skates always help for kids

because obviously their feet are constantly growing.

So you want like, Jillian is the size.

I don't want to say anything wrong.

I think she's on a size 32.

So if a skate is between 30 and a 35, well, she's in the middle, it's good.

You can also buy more on the smaller side.

So if there would be a skate starting on 32 to 35,

or if the skate started from 33 to 37, it's okay.

I use it on the smaller size.

And even if it's a tiny bit bigger,

not really a problem, especially when someone is starting.

But what it's extremely important is to know

that you should be putting the protections before the skates.

It happened before that you did it, huh?

On these pads, these are also flying eagle pads.

These pads have something which is really cool, which is

instead of having just a sock that you can dress,

you can actually come closer to me.

Yes, sir.

These ones, you have a velcro that you can put around.

No, I'm not going to tie too much.

This is something that Jillian always asked me to, to not put them too tight.

So it's hard for kids to keep something if it's not very comfortable.

So let's try to keep something in a way that she's happy with.

Is it okay?

I'll take this too.

While I told you to put the knee pads,

one thing that I'm going to ask you not to do,

is to put the wrist guards first.

So the wrist guards are usually the last one that you're going to put.

You know why, Jillian?

Because then you can't wear anything.

Yes.

And then you can't put anything on your hands.

Yes.

And as you grow, when you learn to put your own skates,

you want your hands to be free.

You want to be able to

to tie your skates.

You want to be able to tie your helmet.

And that makes it a bit harder.

The elbow pads you can put by now.

And these ones are like I said, some of the knee pads are.

So basically these ones have a sock.

And most knee pads are also like this.

So.

Okay.

Do you like this?

Okay.

Okay.

Another one here, girl.

Yes, sir.

It's a little bit hot today.

So we might sweat a little bit.

Now to put the skates on,

these are already adjusted to the size.

But on these skates, we have lacing.

So the first thing that we do is

in first place, we do the lacing.

So these skates have laces.

They also have a middle strap

like a ratchet buckle.

Yeah, that stays on top of the laces.

Yes.

It's not for that.

It's actually to keep the heel in the right position

so that your foot doesn't move inside a lot.

And then on the top, we have a buckle.

In this case, it's a memory buckle, meaning that

you usually adjusted once and they don't need to adjust it anymore.

So these ones were not really in place properly.

But something that it's important is for you to know

that this skate should be

tight around the foot.

This should be snug.

So sometimes we see the kids with the skates extremely loose

and that's when you see them like with the feet like leaning in and leaning out.

You don't want that.

You don't want the foot to go like this

or to go like that.

And usually having the skates

tight around the foot is important.

Of course, the quality of the skates also make a difference.

Having something like this which is a hard boot,

all made of plastic makes a difference.

If you have like a soft boot that looks like a shoe,

it's very easy for your foot to lean in or to lean out.

And especially when they're learning, it's extremely important.

Now we put the second one.

We need to do the same.

Okay.

Lace is first.

Now you know.

What's next, Jellin?

The middle one.

Yes.

Middle strap next.

And now, last,

the top buckle that we want this skate to be.

Good.

Now, next thing.

Helmet like ice cream.

Helmet.

Yes, sir.

Okay.

You may want to take anything that you ever have in your head.

If you are using a ponytail, you need to make sure

that the ponytail is not on the way.

Mine's not.

It's not?

Okay, good.

I don't know how to make it.

And now in the back,

some helmets will have an adjustment,

which is the case with this one.

This one has an adjustment.

Okay.

Nice.

See something here.

Look forward to me.

Yes.

We want the helmet to be tiny bit snug.

Not too much.

So, this is important too.

You want this thing here.

The little W that goes next to the here.

To be on the right position.

A little bit below the here.

If it's too high, it's going to be uncomfortable.

If it's too low, the helmet will still move.

We don't want the helmet to move.

Some helmets, like this one that we have here,

it has some type of adjustment that will make sure

that the helmet stays in position.

And last but not least,

the wrist guards.

So, the wrist guards, they have a plastic piece.

So, which way does it go up or down?

Down.

Okay, why?

Because then you don't like this part.

Is it?

Yes.

Not just because of that.

This hard piece, it's obviously to give some structure

so that you don't break your wrist.

But also because the hard piece will help if you fall

for protection.

Okay?

So, that's that one.

You want to put your thumb in here.

And now, we close it.

Now, you don't want your shirt in the middle.

You want this to be once again tight, but not too tight.

If it's too tight, then it doesn't really work.

Good?

It's too hot.

And now,

here we go.

This one.

Same.

And this was it.

This was the first video on this beginner's tutorial for kids

on the Flying Eagle YouTube channel.

I hope you enjoyed this one.

Now, Daddy's going to put the skates on and we're going to make the second one.
