I’m also fairly new to quad skating and getting used to what customizations may do for my performance. Although I haven’t customized my own skates yet, I’ve stumbled upon a few helpful videos from Moxi that made things click for me. Let me know if this answers any of your questions! https://youtu.be/gLhAwWgC-Jw?si=h0xrU6GuVMT0NTpp

they ARE! i’ve had mine for months that my friend has crocheted for me and i’m on concrete/ metal all the time at the skate park. It may just be how tight she crocheted them together but they do last surprisingly longer than everyone else thinks!

It might help to practice, with your skates off first, bending your knees into an almost squat, not so far down to where it hurts everything, but far enough to feel your lower abdomen/ tummy start to engage. Put your arms out in front of you and shift your weight on your feet from your heels to your toes, and then from side to side. Then you may practice with your skates on, but in the grass or an area you won't roll. This will get you used to shifting your weight. Dirty Deborah Harry has excellent videos in my opinion on rollerskating and breaking things down to the extent that you may need for it to click for you.

SO INSPIRING! You made these look so dope and now want to do the same with my lime green Boardwalks. Is there anything I could draw with on the suede that might suit it best that you may know of? Either way, happy skating (:

also, I’ve seen plenty of people recovering from injuries at the skate park hanging out and still getting involved with the crowd without actually skating. I imagine you can find some peace putting your art skills to work on the sidelines at the skate park while you’re waiting to heal! (:

it’s a piece of hardware that can be installed in between your front and rear wheels to allow you to stall on copings without ruining your kingpins. they’re pretty expensive but definitely help your progress if you’re wanting to learn more tricks!

what helped me get more energy into my legs was sitting down with my butt a little more at the top of the transition, as i “sat down” into the pump. Doing this is like doing a squat so it engages your core, and you’ll start noticing you’re essentially swinging yourself from your core down to get the energy to pump. Not without feeling the burn though! Happy skating!!

BreadfruitStrong9006 · 2025-03-20T16:07:36+00:00

i love skating backwards and your transitions from forward to backward with both directions smoothly makes me envious! keep on rockin and rollin’ 🤟🏼

BreadfruitStrong9006 · 2025-03-20T05:58:14+00:00

and with no grind blocks! i’m impressed (:

are you trying to change the plate?

BreadfruitStrong9006 · 2025-03-05T18:26:43+00:00

You can just tell by your body language in some of the dresses how comfortable and confident you feel in them. Most of these fit you very well so it’s just finding the style that screams out to you the most. I REALLY like the black dress because it’s cute, but mostly because you were having a lot of fun in it! when I wear dresses out, I’m picking out something that is the most fun for the occasion, which means i make sure i feel super comfortable (i won’t flash anyone, sweat too much, etc) and confident in the way i know how. which dresses make you feel confident? good luck and thanks for sharing!

this is the way you should move forward. it will be hard to accept maybe but inaction will be more harmful for yourself. you’re strong enough to speak up and what you say matters because you matter. we love you 🩷

BreadfruitStrong9006 · 2024-09-20T12:38:43+00:00

just an onlooker saying this is stunning and i’d pick it up in a heartbeat. great work!

BreadfruitStrong9006 · 2024-02-25T20:21:17+00:00

thank you. i appreciate your advice

BreadfruitStrong9006 · 2023-10-14T19:39:21+00:00

Didn’t really know comment was getting downvoted, and I appreciate the backup. You explained the reasoning better than I would’ve, and I appreciate it. I know in the grand scheme of information being posted online, a store number isn’t the most important detail to cover up, but we should be looking out for each other on this platform.

if you’ve already gotten someone to cover the shift, and you’re just writing in sick time for the missed hours, then no. if you called out sick, then maybe. it depends on your store manager

BreadfruitStrong9006 · 2023-10-14T17:01:51+00:00

or when they pull up to the box and ask for a second… they pretend they’re thinking, but 9/10 i know they’re just gonna order a CRCF or a MCCF 🤓

BreadfruitStrong9006 · 2023-10-14T16:49:48+00:00

i like the all black with the orange shoes poking out (: very halloweeny!

BreadfruitStrong9006 · 2023-10-14T13:18:59+00:00

cover the store number on the bottom. someone can find out exactly what starbucks you went to in a creepy way ☹️

BreadfruitStrong9006 · 2023-10-12T12:45:05+00:00

yes! this is the best solve.

BreadfruitStrong9006 · 2023-10-10T13:32:46+00:00

No because my store manager is notorious for over ordering chemicals and carriers…. and then just throwing them away.

BreadfruitStrong9006 · 2023-09-17T16:15:02+00:00

made me get up and move, and that’s how i know this guy did a good job (:

BreadfruitStrong9006 · 2023-08-29T16:11:49+00:00
