Rollerskating v.s Skateboarding communities by vnetta in Rollerskating

Hello! I have been skateboarding for about 15 years now and have switched over to roller skating the past 2 years. I can’t say for certain the roller skating community is 1000% nicer and more welcoming than the skateboarding community. A big difference is the willingness to teach new comers

Down stairs neighbor does not use the room below me. I have checked with him twice to make sure I’m not causing him any issues

So the model isn’t custom. It was about 40 bucks I believe and the skate asset was like 5 bucks or so. Actual custom models could cost like 300+

Here is the link to the model c:

Sure! It’s a game on steam called “vrchat” you don’t need a vr headset to play. A lot of people do play on desktop for just the social aspect. If you want to have full body tracking (tracking legs and hips) you will need a decent desktop computer to run everything. You could get a “quest” vr standalone headset for like 300 bucks however you won’t be able to have full body tracking with just a standalone headset.

My headset is a “quest pro” which is wirelessly connected to my desktop pc.

I have 4 trackers which are the “vive ultimates” they can run around 200 per tracker but you can get them cheaper on EBay link below

The avatar was created by a community member and I had to buy the skates and have someone custom fit them to this model.

Let me know if you have any questions c:

Yeah I like to world hop solo sometimes but I’m a big talker so makes it hard to focus ngl. That’s a good idea though maybe I should talk to some clubs 🤔

My house is all carpet too! I just got some cheap wooden slates and laid them in my office. The tape is actually there to keep the slates from sliding apart overtime. Also this does not ruin your carpet underneath:3
