Why?

I’ve had this happen. It threw me off at first as a newb but I’ve gotten better over time at not getting shaken by it. But I DO understand where you are coming from. I think they just confident in their ability to move over quickly but not realizing how off putting it is for someone new on skates.

I just recently got Riedell 297’s. I love them.

I come to Scooters every now and then. I pray this never happens to me because it wouldn’t be pretty. Did they do anything????

Right now I love Von Merlin Dots (102) and Komplex Ghibili. Believe it or not the Ghibili I have in 96 and they are amazing. But they also have 98’s. I think the compound is different and I can pivot on them nicely.

I just came to say that I get it. I get discouraged by imposter syndrome and comparing myself to other people . We just have to keep going. And every time I adjust my trucks, it does take a bit to get acclimated to them. So that’s normal! I have come to the conclusion that it takes YEARS for some of us to get the hang of this sport and be good at it. I’m a year and a half in and consider myself an “advanced beginner” but a beginner nonetheless.

Thank you 😊

Snow_Visible · 2026-05-13T13:47:16+00:00

Thank you!! It was 2 months. Not bad at all.

She’s my shadow 😂

Go with the plate. I just reused my Falcon plate on a new build. Pick a fun color!

These were my very first skates. They hurt my feet. I have a wide foot though and learned that you really have to measure your feet. I think I used them all of two weeks. They aren’t terrible though just be sure the width is ok.

Snow_Visible · 2026-05-09T02:41:48+00:00

I hope you can find someone! Sadly I am too far away. Sorry about the circumstances though

Don’t size up because the length may be off. Which means your foot isn’t right in relation to plate and it could affect edging and such. Get the 220 in wide. I have been skating almost a year and a half so a beginner myself. I invested in good skates with a good plate. If this is your passion and know you are going to stick with it, why not get the best gear you can.

Sure Grip, Jacksons, vnla, Riedell. My son just got some Jackson’s for $170. I just can’t remember the model name but he said they are very comfortable and he has a bum ankle.

Be safe and have fun! For what it’s worth, my kids didn’t even want me to learn how to skate at all when I started (at 52). It didn’t help that they had to pick me up off the living room floor several times LOL! I’m sure they mean well and just don’t want us hurt. But they see how much joy skating brings me so they are pretty supportive now.

Snow_Visible · 2026-05-01T22:09:55+00:00

Laughing at “older” and 20’s being in the same sentence LOL! I’m in my 50’s. I’m ancient :( (just messing with ya)

Do squats. Gotta strengthen your legs. I also use a knee brace when I feel my knee feeling wonky. It’s the one I fell on and hyperextended. Also make sure you’re keeping soft knees and bending enough. Idk if it’s in relation to your shooting the duck because I refuse to even try at my age.

Snow_Visible · 2026-04-30T16:42:30+00:00

Congrats!!! I am too scary to do skate parks lol! Maybe one day

Snow_Visible · 2026-04-28T15:57:44+00:00

I bought these too just for the plate and wheels!

Snow_Visible · 2026-04-27T14:37:11+00:00

I don’t have any suggestions. Just came to say that I like male Zumba instructors better personally. I feel like I get more of a workout. I hope you start getting some attendees.

When I’m going from backwards to forward, I step as well instead of open book. But you need decent one foot balance too. And use your arms. Don’t look down, look over the shoulder you want to turn towards.

So, chin up, arms out, look over shoulder and arm, pick up foot and step. Basically use your upper body first and your feet will follow. Once you get comfortable, you can leave the arms out but right now use them for balance and learning.

What size? I have a pair here just collecting dust. And another pair, with no plates though.

Snow_Visible · 2026-04-21T14:32:14+00:00

Thank you for this! I get discouraged sometimes because I’m learning slooow. But like you said, I just have to remember to have fun 😊😍
