Shorty's Skate Series

Ready to level up your park skating or roller derby skills? I’m Shorty (aka ShortStop), and I make tutorials that break skating down step by step so you can build confidence and progress faster.

I’ve been on wheels since 2009, starting with roller derby and eventually adding park skating to the mix. Skating has taken me around the world, and now I’m here to share what I’ve learned with you, mostly on quads, sometimes on blades.

I recently traveled to Leeds, UK for Northern Roll, a roller skating festival that brought skaters together from all over. It was an incredible event filled with skating, coaching and meeting amazing people.

Here’s a little vlog of my time where I coached park skating, roller derby and beginner blades. 🎥✨

Sorry I haven’t been posting many long-format videos or in-depth tutorials lately, it’s been a crazy couple of months! I’ve been on four continents, skating at the Roller Derby World Cup in Austria, RollerCon in the USA, and the Asian Championships in Korea. Things are finally settling down, so I’m hoping to get a lot more content up soon. If there’s something specific you’ve been wanting to see, drop your ideas in the comments!

Hey everyone! Mum life has been crazy, but I'm finally getting into a groove where I can film more. 🎉 I finally finished that backside tutorial I promised ages ago (sorry it took so long 😅). Now I'm itching to create more! Hit me with your requests - what do you want to see next?! 🤔

Hey everyone! 👋

Just wanted to pop in and say sorry it's been a bit quiet on the long-form video front. Juggling mum life, skating, work, and content creation is a bit of a learning curve 😅

I promise I haven't forgotten about that How to Powerslide tutorial – aiming to have it wrapped up and posted next week! 🤞

In the meantime, hit me up in the comments with what YOU want to see! Skate park tips? Roller derby drills? General learn-to-skate goodness? Let me know! 🛼

Thanks for being patient with me! ❤️

It's been some time since my last post! I'm currently crafting a series of tutorials covering basic skating techniques, flat ground maneuvers, and roller derby skills, all while teaching my husband the art of roller skating. Our first tutorial on "How to T-Stop" is now live. I'd love to hear your thoughts and suggestions in the comments about which skills you'd like to see next!
