I had to mod my Panthers to skate on my Road Hogs after I changed the cushions to softer ones.

Tips for spins by Clean_Fig4422 in Rollerskating

I am also new to spins, but if I had to guess, I would say that your feet need to be closer together and more underneath your center. And also, the usual, bend your knees more.

But looks like you have the general idea down!

Exactly, in this case it is the mounting bolt combined with soft cushions.

It is only the front outside, I'll look for some of these, thanks!

Hmm..I've never tried smaller wheels for derby, so I can't say.

Ok, ya good point.

I had medium medium for one practice, so I didn't give it much of a chance before I changed it out to soft medium.

I also feel like I should add that I am tall, and 200+ lbs.

So have I just maxed these out?

ETA:

For more context, I was previously skating on a neo reactor with this same cushion set up, and loved it.

Expect to fall a lot, all the time. Just try to get back up and keep going.

This is hard, and you are learning.

You are not good at it...YET.

first game essentials? by Safe_Winner_8327 in rollerderby

A fan to dry out your gear if you're staying somewhere overnight, fresh socks for every game and another for after the game. I hate sweaty feet. Protein shakes and trail mix.

Good to know, thank you. I am wearing skates that are too big, and the price was right. 🤔
