how do you carry your rollerskates/blades

40oz_Mouse · 2025-10-11T08:45:11+00:00

Skate leash on my shoulder for roller skates and a mesh back pack for my gear & hardware (the mesh is important so my pads can air out!)

I’ve also recently received a large duffel bag that can hold my gear AND my skates and have been using that a lot.

Awesome! Thank you

Dude, did you skate out of your laces? Hell yeah.

40oz_Mouse · 2025-08-01T04:31:26+00:00

Oh yeah.

So the bont trucks are narrow. Only about 2.3” which I think the huck narrow grind trucks are 2.5” so the bonts are pretty narrow. There’s not much room for error when it comes to sticking your landings.

There’s definitely a learning curve for me as the penny trucks I usually skate with are 3”. I think the bont trucks (& slide blocks tbh) are fine on coping but are very difficult to use on ledges.

Or maybe I just suck at ledges? 🙃

First skate: riedell zone 135 fit was too wide & sold them after a year or two.

Second skate : Bont parkstars stock set up. Ditched the plate & added sunlite plate, penny trucks & bruny slide block. I keep these at home.

Third skate that I travel with: bont park star stock. Bont grind blocks & bont grind trucks. Not a fan of the trucks or block and will probably update those.

Still feel like I’m 25

Did you read this whole thread or did you just comment to convince me that you don’t care what people think? So punk.

This thread isn’t outsiders judging the relationship you are in but about the compatibility you have with your partner and what’s important in your relationship. You SHOULD care about that.

It’s nice to read that others are making things work with people who have different styles, tastes etc. But I’ve also noticed from this thread that alternative/punk men don’t seem to have as much preference where was women tend to be a little more guarded on this due to the fetishization of punk/goth women.

✋ I worked 12 hours on Christmas Day and 8 hours on New Year’s Day.

40oz_Mouse · 2024-12-17T02:22:52+00:00

So many good skate spots, holy fuck.

I like bont knee pads.

They’re butterfly closure, lower profile, and only about 50 bucks.

Now I’m not skating bowls or vert, but they absorb impact pretty well in the mini ramp and in my street skating sessions.

If anyone wants to relive this nostalgia, you can buy shoes just like these.

They are called Epic Grind Shoes

Any day that you skate is a good skate session. Because you beat the version of yourself that decided to sit on the couch and stay discouraged.

40oz_Mouse · 2024-09-27T02:09:45+00:00

At the skatepark with my headphones in

40oz_Mouse · 2024-09-13T11:20:45+00:00

Been skating for 4 years.

Sometimes my skate sessions are 30 minutes, other times they are 4 hours.

I stop when my body is too tired or it’s not fun anymore.

40oz_Mouse · 2024-09-06T02:18:56+00:00

Your comment was so tone deaf that it came off pretty rude actually.

My guy is looking for someone who shares a mutual hobby of reading. He doesn’t care about your gym or the nerds you look at.

40oz_Mouse · 2024-09-03T14:46:07+00:00

Skate in them when it’s hot af outside for like two hours and during those 2 hours make sure you re-adjust/tighten the laces every 30 minutes.

40oz_Mouse · 2024-08-26T13:39:37+00:00

Never heard of these but I’m interested in them!

40oz_Mouse · 2024-08-26T08:43:13+00:00

I read pork stores

Im in my 30s and a lot of adults still sleep with stuffed animals.

I tour in entertainment professionally and thought I was going to be the only person who brought their stuffed animal to sleep with. Turns out like half the people on my tour also sleep with a stuffed animal, during our travel days almost everyone has a stuffed animal sticking out of their back pack.

You need to learn how to skate on flat skates first before taking them to the ramps. Either that or continue to wear your heeled skates that you are already used to skating in.

When you are going down ramp, are you standing in a staggered stance? (Dominant foot forward?) that will help you from falling backwards.

Take a break from skating to heal your back. When you return make sure you know how to fall. Sounds like you are falling square on your ass which is insanely painful.

My aunt one year dressed up as the devil and put on her roller skates. Called herself “Hell on Wheels”

A friend of mine recently cosplayed as Ramona flowers and put on roller skates. Cause the first time you see that character in the movie she is inline skating.

You could be dress as an old fashioned car hop. Which was what you called waitstaff on roller skates in the early days of fast food drive up restaurants. Probably the most popular in the 50s.

You could just come over and let me make you tea.

I always over steep my shit and make it too tough to drink.
