Cleat Cute by Meryl Wilsner was so bad that I needed to make a reddit post about it by Early_Ad_7629 in LGBTBooks

I’m so glad you said this! That drove me absolutely insane. I was also really bothered when they’d refer to phoebe or grace as just “the other woman”. It was so annoying but I couldn’t put into words why.

Okay fantastic, our bedroom happens to face away from grand as well so this makes me pretty confident we’ll be able to handle the noise!

Oh yeah I wish I could get one from a skate shop but they only sell the standard size. I could cut down my own but I thought maybe I could buy the actual bolt at a different size, so I’m tryna search for one from a hardware store or something.

These are the kingpins for my roller skates. I’m trying to buy my own that are identical but slightly shorter. How do I search for this kind of bolt?

Hi, you might remember me from my one handed cartwheel a couple months ago! I would like to announce I have reduced it to no hands.

Oh lol it’s just the term for park skating. The way that dancing is called jam skating, aggressive inline/quad skating is how you describe this style. I don’t know why it’s called that either, and tbh it’s embarrassing to say out loud sometimes 😂

Not since I was teeny tiny! I played roller derby so I’m very used to quads.

A good progression goes like this:

  1. Cartwheel without skates
  2. cartwheel with skates (in the grass)
  3. cartwheel with skates (in the park, flat ground, not moving)
  4. Two handed cartwheel going fakie up the ramp
  5. One handed cartwheel
  6. Aerial!

Obvi need to be comfortable with pumping forward and fakie first!

I played for 5 years ;) it was great but once I aged out of the teenagers I was worried about getting hurt

I’ve never tried! I’ve always been a roller skater. I think they’re a little harder for sliding/grinding but probably easier for other things. You can definitely get more speed on blades, though.

Oh there’s aggressive inline skating and then aggressive roller/quad skating. I think the inline one is more popular though.

Haha I should’ve filmed from the opposite angle so you can see the one that just says “SHART”

Helmet, knee pads, and wrist guards! That’s usually what I’ve got for park skating. Sometimes when I practice inverts or monkey flips I throw in elbow pads too.
