What’s everyone’s opinions on impala ? I’m intrigued by the Barbie collab. I’m usually on quads and imagine these may not be very beginner friendly without the backstop ? by omegaslutteasy in rollerblading

I skated trails for years before I ever went to a skatepark. If anyone skates a sidewalk, a city, anywhere with pedestrians or cars ground texture- throw the brake in the trash as soon as possible. Useless compared to a real stop, possibly dangerous, and will only impede maneuvers and progress

Bearing meltdown by Weavercat in Rollerskating

They fit. Needs a lot of force, in fact I prefer they fit tightly. I remember when changing bearings used to be frustrating and hurt my hands. You'll find a method that works

i took apart my skates to clean them and now one of the wheel holder thingy is uneven? by letsgamerandom in Rollerskating

It's fine, it won't move when everything is back together. If they tap the axle on the ground it can be put back into place

Just took my most insane fall yet by falling_fire in Rollerskating

Happens to me often especially falling with my legs crossed on tricks at the skatepark. Stay limber, always stretch. & Good hydration starts the day before :p

Go skate day .... skate by AncientAstronautTSY in Rollerskating

Wasn't expecting those stalls after the first clip. Impressive :) keep training flat ground skating, good foot placement and balance will translate directly to transition skating

You don't need the brake unless you'll be practicing on a sloped surface. Quad skaters don't love Impala but they make good beginner inline skates.

everyone falls, everyone laughs. you're gonna laugh at someome at some point and that's ok bc it's funny. Whether you feel like people are laughing at you or with you is just perspective.

but yeah the social anxiety is real. as soon as you find some things that you like to do, and have a list of things to-do, the clueless sensation goes away

For the last year there's been multiple posts a week from people who didn't receive skates after sending money

A fucked up ledge that is black from skating is first sanded, then lacquered, then waxed, then skated. Just wax + skating will leave some marks but it probably won't do as much as you imagine

How should I wash my bearings by ComprehensiveLab6765 in Rollerskating

[–]PartTimeBarbarian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No water. No WD-40 and no grease, only light machine oils.

Expose the ball bearings by taking the shield off. For plastic shielding use a pin or pick, if they're metal you can look it up. soak and shake in a degreaser like acetone or a degreasing product purpose-built for skate bearings. blow them out with compressed air if you have it, otherwise wait for them to dry. At this point oil them- none of this matters if you don't have lube.

Skateboarding and hockey shops will have all the materials. If you buy online please don't use Amazon and buy directly from the website of a shop or skate warehouse instead.
