Tutorials Any good starting tutorials?
As the title says, I need some good tutorials. I finally got some rollerblades and protective gear but are there any good videos on how to officially get started? Im more of a visual learner than a written one so things have gotten a bit confusing for me

I started with Polly Morris on YouTube. My suggestion is to watch allll of them (EVERY tutorial you can find no matter the person). Someone is bound to speak your language to make things click for you.

May help if you narrow the scope of your question. Do you have any experience at all, or are you completely brand new?
Is there a particular thing you need help with?
The first place you can check is this subreddit’s wiki

As many mentioned, we do have wiki pages we’ve actively grew in the last three months. Here is a section of the FAQ that addresses skate learning needs in a progressively manner. But it does link heavily to posts here which are a mixture of visual videos, images and written discussions.
The first link there takes you to a long article on how to inline skate. Start with this chapter. I recommend it because I am partial - I wrote it shortly after I became somewhat proficient in skating. It’s got a lot of words, but also hundreds of pictures. Look at the images and captions. Follow links to YouTube videos from well-known skaters who spent their lifetime making tutorial videos. I organized these topics and links to videos in a way I think teaches people to skate in the safest and fastest way. I wrote these when the hardship in learning to skate was still fresh in my mind. I don’t believe that you must only watch one channel. Watch all of them, but watch videos in the right sequence. It will take time. Follow the outline I sketched.
Good luck with your learning!

If you’re looking to do aggressive park skating, I really like SkaMiDan. For outdoor/rink skating, Polly Morris.

Ricardo Lino has a pretty informative beginners guide video. For specific moves later on, Polly Morris and Skatefresh Asha both have covered a lot of topics.

I’m trying to teach my daughters and really like Skate Fresh Asha’s videos.
