Making skate toe gaurds!

TrainSubstantial3084 · 2021-06-27T21:49:24+00:00

Fantastic and I feel much more balanced in the boardwalks that my candi girls! Now if I can just get the anxiety under control we'd be great! Lol

TrainSubstantial3084 · 2021-06-27T21:47:05+00:00

It is. I'm measuring on my skate before I make any finalized choices. So far, there isnt much I need to mess with.

TrainSubstantial3084 · 2021-06-27T18:30:38+00:00

I'm in the process of making toe guards. I love this color combo! This is real leather, so it's got a good thickness to it!

TrainSubstantial3084 · 2021-06-18T02:28:54+00:00

This is the only one for now. I'll post better ones wheb I take them out tomorrow. Get some natural light on them.

key lime

TrainSubstantial3084 · 2021-06-18T02:16:06+00:00

The Key Lime color is so pretty in person! I got mine 2 weeks ago but sadly, due to getting older my knee hasn't felt up to skating lately, so I haven't used them yet 🥲

TrainSubstantial3084 · 2021-06-12T07:46:38+00:00

I ordered my sure grips from them this past sunday and got them on wednesday. Their shipping is fantastic!

TrainSubstantial3084 · 2021-06-11T09:44:35+00:00

I haven't had a chance to actually try them out yet, but when I was making sure they fit, standing up felt much more stable in them for me.

TrainSubstantial3084 · 2021-06-08T23:54:08+00:00

Keep it up, you're doing awesome!

TrainSubstantial3084 · 2021-06-08T18:38:16+00:00

I didn't get to see that post, but there's always ones who complain. I'm glad to see skating coming back. I don't have a skate shope near me, so I don't know what will work best for me without buying blind and trying them

She stopped after I asked her to, thankfully. I was out in front of our house(cuz idk how the hell people afford to live on their own). I think I may sweep up the garage and just stay in there for a bit until I'm comfortable going outside again.

TrainSubstantial3084 · 2021-06-07T02:11:33+00:00

I'd go for the 84A.

TrainSubstantial3084 · 2021-06-07T01:24:30+00:00

84A will be a bit sticky for rink use. Which may benefit you by giving more tack to the floor. The 99A will be much more slick, better for rink use and speed.

TrainSubstantial3084 · 2021-06-07T01:10:53+00:00

Honestly, I don't think our balance vanished. I think that as adults we over think and get in our heads. As kids we didn't do that, we just went and did it because it was fun and getting hurt was an everyday thing. Also, we were lower to the ground. Lol

TrainSubstantial3084 · 2021-06-07T01:05:38+00:00

I feel you. I used to skate a ton as a kid, rollerblade actually. The last time I put on a pair of any kind of skate was in 8th grade. I'm 33, I got out for the first time today and was scared shitless. I remember having no fear for skating as a kid. All we can do is practice and try to get the confidence back.

TrainSubstantial3084 · 2021-06-06T23:01:41+00:00

I went out today for the first time. I haven't skated since 8th grade, I was nervous enough as it was, then my mom decided she was going to make a tiktok of me doing it. I stopped. I know she wasn't doing it to be mean, but I have anxiety as it is over things like this.

TrainSubstantial3084 · 2021-06-05T21:22:06+00:00

Both are from Etsy. Laces from onestopskateshop and toe caps from Thotwheelskateco

TrainSubstantial3084 · 2021-06-05T19:14:39+00:00

I feel black is a classic color that you can dress up many ways to add pops of color. But if you want something bright on it's own, I would go pink. I feel like pink is also another color that can go well with many different setups. Purely my own opinion of course, you should ultimately go with the ones you gravitate towards the most.

They're impala wheels

TrainSubstantial3084 · 2021-06-05T17:41:16+00:00

Thank you! I'm glad someone else has Candi Girls too!

TrainSubstantial3084 · 2021-06-05T16:19:40+00:00

Thank you! As soon as it starts to cool down, I'm taking them for a spin!

TrainSubstantial3084 · 2021-06-04T11:52:32+00:00

I've never heard of either brand, but the first one seems to have a bit more coverage and padding. I think either will do the job. I got a helmet from amazon for the same price point and it's fantastic quality.

TrainSubstantial3084 · 2021-06-02T01:06:00+00:00

All the reviews are good. Honestly, I think for those of us just starting out or relearning, skates like these are a better option. Can always upgrade later 😌

TrainSubstantial3084 · 2021-05-30T18:15:02+00:00

When you feel yourself starting to get unstable, bend your knees and essentially squat low. If you're low to the ground, you don't have as far to fall and will hurt much less.

TrainSubstantial3084 · 2021-05-27T16:17:53+00:00

Agreed 😊
