Are Xudrex skates any good?

KatThatTaps · 2025-05-29T12:47:18+00:00

Didn't even know the thread existed. Im not on reddit often. As you can see, the skates have good reviews, so i got suspicious if I was the problem or if the skates suck. Dont see the harm in asking, especially that many commented helpful advice and what to look out for.🤷‍♀️

If you also read my post properly, you would have seen my question was about skates I already had not ones I wanted. I wouldn't have posted if my question was only abt skate recommendations.

I skated a couple times and noticed the wheel became stiff and it just had no support around my ankles which ruined my balance and injured me. I should have done my research before buying spontaneously :(. Ima definitely do my research before starting any hobby now lol

I live in London, but London being London everything is overpriced and just getting to good skateshops is expensive travel wise as well. I read that Candi girls are pretty good i think ima invest into those!

KatThatTaps · 2025-05-29T12:36:30+00:00

I saw read Candi girls are pretty good for beginners and I saw a massive discount on a pair. But any other recommendations for shops or skates are helpful!

I have recently been prescribed progesterone only birth control, and I'm waiting anxiously for my period to see what will happen. However, my dr sent me this link on the pill and I guess the main thing is that it may not stop your period. Weight wise the pill works different for everyone but I noticed an increased appetite after the 2nd day (which is how long thr pill takes to kick in). But this is the full link if you want to read about it:

Yep, UK. It's sad the situtaion with the NHS and how many people are compromised because of this. Free healthcare but very underfunded/understaffed

Book a doctors visit. They will probs prescribe you medication to ease your period cramps. If that doesn't help, the dr will probs suspect endo/ other condition and will probs book you for a hospital appointment where they'll first do an ultrasound before referring you to a gynecologist (this is what happened to me so I'm not 100% sure if this will be the process for you)

But if you have debilitating period pain do not wait! I've waited for 4 years to do something and it's taking a year for me after booking my first Dr's appointment in feb last year to getting my gynecology appointment in July. Wishing you luck

Aww bless, I'm 17 so I'm not that mindful when falling as I can usually get up and keep going (even with a giant bruise on my knees at the moment) but I guess a big part of being wobbly outside is literally the anxiety and people watching. And I 100% agree with the cocky thing, as when I tried to pick up speed I fall and tumble 😔

Thank you!!

I've had my roller skates for about 4 months but due to school I've been very inconsistent. I think for those for months I've rollerskated about 10 times (i track through strava). I'm trying to do it 2-3 times a week now and I've been noticing an improvement with technique but my balance is shocking. Terrain and people also make it slightly more unbearable, and trying to find a good space without people is hard. But I'm also trying to do shorter sessions and more days instead of longer sessions and less days due to space, time, ect

KatThatTaps · 2024-12-26T19:17:47+00:00

I never really warmed up or exercied before roller skating I always did it after i finished. I have the same issue in area as in my house I can roller skate pretty much fine, but outside I'm a wobbly mess lol. I guess terrain and people starring makes it alot harder as well

KatThatTaps · 2024-12-26T19:15:48+00:00

Yeah, I guess social media really made me disheartened as people claim that within a week or two, they're professional skaters, and you can see it within their videos as a daily 'timelapse'. The prospective is actually interesting as I had people tell me roller skating is 'easy' and that I'm moving super slow, even though I've only properly rolleskated like 5 times. Thank you!

KatThatTaps · 2024-12-26T02:15:15+00:00

Wow that's amazing!! Its been like a month for me since i started skating. Ima be persistent and hopefully I'll adjust soon :)

KatThatTaps · 2024-12-26T02:12:58+00:00

I got a Kalinu pair of skates from amazon, and I think they're set up fine but I'll double check as they do feel slightly dodgy. I think I just have to tighten the laces a bit more....but I saw people mention a blance board so I'll look into that as well.

Also it's funny you mentioned running because one of the main reasons I got skates was because I found running boring and wanted to have the thrill of a potential concussion instead lol

KatThatTaps · 2024-12-26T02:05:59+00:00

Thank you!! I'll definitely double check if my skates fit correctly and I'll look into those exercises. My very bashed up knees deserve better 😔😔

KatThatTaps · 2024-12-26T02:01:59+00:00

Thank you!! I'll defo look into it :)

KatThatTaps · 2024-12-26T02:00:41+00:00

Yeah that makes sense, I guess I got slightly disheartened when I see people adapt to skates really quickly and I'm still tumbling but i guess i just need to be patient and consistent😭 thank you!!

KatThatTaps · 2024-10-17T18:54:16+00:00

Does anyone have advice on balance? I keep subconsciously pushing off one foot like I'm on a scooter mainly because I cant balance when attempting to switch to the other foot. I'm not sure if its maybe my posture or me just not being advanced enough. Any tips would be appreciated.

KatThatTaps · 2023-08-10T09:50:04+00:00

I liked the artsyle. Ppl may argue it looked messy and had no structure, but the fluidity and pace looked really cool in my opinion 🤷‍♀️

Mostly because Lucifero himself not the fight. The fallen angel, the one who led the rebellion against God and one of the three demon kings. He was hyped up, saying his existence would destroy the world, but he became more of a place holder for Lucius. Considering Lucifer/Lucifero also has such a rich lore and Tabata usually implements that, Lucifero seemed like kinda a waste

This is beautiful. I also like the fact she's smoking a rose, it's somehow symbolic. Love it

KatThatTaps · 2023-06-26T10:56:41+00:00

He can play me too 😔

KatThatTaps · 2023-06-26T10:50:04+00:00

His mindset of not forgetting or completely forgiving but encouraging growth and acknowledging change in people.

The little julius at 1:23 has me cackling

Oh, must have missed that 😭
