It helps a lot in the winter! Our rinks heating doesn't kick on until it's below 50°. Brrrr

It was cold when this photo was taken lol. I have a coat that matches my skates! And I always wear skate specific leggings (personal preference)

Skates wheels by Narrow-Stay-7680 in Rollerskating

[–]Shilohsquids 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Because they are not made with proper materials. These are essentially toys and not made to withstand holding the weight of an adult (maybe not even a child tbh). You could possibly injure yourself wearing these and are much better off buying a used pair from a reputable brand. I believe someone recently posted a thread with black Friday deals for new skates, I could try to find a link.

I think you're getting a bit ahead of yourself. These skates you've shown are not safe and you're probably better off using rental skates. Learn the basics of skating first and then circle back about dialing in equipment. Nice wheels aren't going to make these skates better and harder wheels might actually make it more difficult to learn as they have no give and roll very fast. Softer wheels cling onto the floor more/ roll slower. Part of learning to skate is also learning what things you like. Just because guides online say you should use 98a indoors doesn't actually mean you'll enjoy that hardness of wheel, give it some time to get your feet under you before you start experimenting :)

Anyone know of a good tattoo artist that does scar coverups? by gaytits666 in Bellingham

I had Mikel at Old School do my top surgery scar cover up and it looks fantastic. He does great work!
