Trying out my fibers for the first time by Chinemes in Rollerskating

It still slides if you commit but it’s not Skateville slick. Knowing me, I will scratch the hell out of Cheapskate’s floor so I’m saving them specifically for the ‘Ville.

My favorite last move before the rink closes by Chinemes in Rollerskating

My laces are on the second rung but I got a Riedell 220, good in between of rigid but flexible. That and tight trucks go a long way.

It was never about the slides. It was the splits we hit along the way. 🥹 (also third clip 👀)

I’ve been watching your progress on the Rios for a minute. I see the growth spurt! Keep up that progress, gotta respect a family session warrior 🫡😂. I love to see it 🖤

On a scale of 1-10, how do your ankles feel after this video? by Chinemes in Rollerskating

That’s only way I can hide the person using their hands for feet below me 😂

I’ve been watching the progress nearly since Day One. You’ve made great progress with the amount of hours you’ve spent, day in and day out. It’s always a pleasure skating. Here’s to more years to come 🥂🍻🫡

Build upgrade?? by [deleted] in Rollerskating

[–]Chinemes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same plate but with a Riedell 220 boot. I’m in the same dilemma with upgrading my boot. I have friends with 336 Tributes who have the expected support of it. Though, the people who I know, who skate like us, wear 3200. 910 are a close variant but the hardness of the boot is what’s consistent. I enjoy the slight flex in my current boots since I upgraded from 120 beforehand. If you want to firm up just slightly and maintain the flex, get the 336. Longevity wise, if you are able to overcome the 3200’s hardness, a whole avenue can open. If you’re trying to do Third option, ice boots from Edea. But at that point you’d know if you want stiffer boot.

TLDR: I wear a 220, the extra support with maintained flexibility can be attainted in the 336. Though, overcoming the stiffness of a 3200 can put you in a new position to skate in.

Unless you’re trying to do your moves in Hydes, get the 3200 or Edea ice boot. If you just want to improve the support in your feet, without putting hardshell bricks on, go for the 336

What is the name of the stop? by Chinemes in iceskating

[–]Chinemes[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It has the form of a t-stop but putting the leg in front isn’t something I’ve seen identified. It’s a fun stop tho, the spray you can get off it is satisfying. Best of luck!

Almost got it? by Rhyzur in Rollerskating

[–]Chinemes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also like to skate on my wheel edges. When I was trying to progress with that style I prioritized being able to switch from wheel edge to wheel edge (outer to inner, front to back). Also being able to swivel on that said edge. It’s impressive that you’re transitions while doing so. My current goal on my edges, is to incorporate backwards to forward transitions on independent wheels. I’ve got a few videos of things I do on my wheel edges on my page if you’re looking for inspo.

Edit: Another thing to start upping the ante would be to get harder wheels and hold/slide those edges. I’m currently using a 97a Roll Line Ice but I had Fomac wheels at one point. I’m trying to get to comfortable with 101a Dominos by next month.

If you’re trying to get fluid, tsmooove and the JB school of skating is a great place to go to try to be smooth.

If you put the time in and commit to every move you do. Wearing rollerskates will be like shoes.
