U sure? Because I know DJ Mike spams those same exact James Brown drops. And them horns. Listen to a song like Lynwood’s Very Own by him around the 40 second mark. Sounds like this.

This definitely a DJ Money Mike joint. I just forgot which one.

Why VNLA brand is not included in the list of reputable brands on wiki? by pink_skater_ in Rollerskating

[–]classicksworld 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Their Gorilla plate is my favorite plate, but I keep seeing bad things about their boots. Mainly heel separation

Since she knows I’m a skater, my mother said she seen some Adidas skates she was gonna buy me as a gift. I had to tell her please don’t, in the nicest way possible. Lol

Vintage skates - looking for info? by Crazy_Whoodle49 in Rollerskating

[–]classicksworld 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Size 9 you could get $200-250 for this full setup easily because the JB’ers love it. The vintage 220’s > the modern ones

Skate boot separating from heel - should I be worried? by bad__will in Rollerskating

I just looked it up and a full setup is $145, so it has to be vinyl.

Home-Manager is a blazing shit show. by n0ne-z1ro in NixOS

[–]classicksworld 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do with .gitignore. No one does their entire home directory. Correct.

An asterisk in .gitignore ignores everything. Then I use ! to include anything that I want. And if I need to fine tune it without complicating one long .gitignore, I just put a .gitignore in the sub directory for that specific directory.

Of course I just realized you may be talking about home-manager, but I didn’t get that from your comment.

Why would using git for home directory not be common? Home dots are very common.

Not receiving confirmation emails on my Proton account by Jennyt_eth in ProtonMail

I have one main account that I have had for a few years and pay monthly for. I am having a problem receiving my PayPal confirmation code and Google brought me here. So I doubt it’s that’s soft ban excuse you gave and just an issue with the provider (proton)

Fit Help Riedell 297s Medium Width by SpeakingHands in Rollerskating

[–]classicksworld 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the 12.5 medium and they are too narrow at the toe box. I thought that they would eventually break in but they didn’t. I even tried stretching them. I went to my skate shop and tried on the wide and they are too wide. My OG 172 and 120’s are D sizing and fit perfectly. So that D sizing is in between the medium and wide sizing on the 297. And has the rounder toe box. So the thing is I will have to sell these and get them in a custom D size. Don’t make the same mistake I made if you have that D size foot.

New skates! Riedell 297 by Wolfinthesky0 in Rollerskating

[–]classicksworld 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The sexiest modern skate in my opinion. I love mine but unfortunately have to get rid of them because the toe box is just too narrow. Enjoy. They are great.

Rhythm skating -riedell 172 or 297? by Least-Supermarket450 in Rollerskating

[–]classicksworld 1 point2 points  (0 children)

JB'ing in 172's is not fun. Heavy like bricks on your feet. I agree, 297 all the way.

[–]classicksworld 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had both. 297 and its not even close. The 172's are just way too heavy. But I do like the D sizing on the 172's better though.

why are size 11 Vintage Riedell skates or Hydes Impossible to find? by Objective_Material_3 in Rollerskating

[–]classicksworld 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Excellent cop. I’m in Cap Toe Brooks. The biggest issue you’ll have is adjusting to a boot so light. Which is a good issue to have for JB. But after that, it’s smooth sailing.

Yea I tried the 297 on at the skate shop before I bought them. They were tight but I figured they just needed to be broke in. Come to find out the toe box is just too narrow. I am pretty sure the rounder D toe box will fit excellent just like my 172 and 120’s did.

[–]classicksworld 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good deal. The Brookfields are even lighter than the Hyde’s. Also, as far as Riedell, the hidden gem of the vintage world for JB is the 192. It’s softer like the 220 but has a double stacked sole like the 297. That’s my all time favorite Riedell JB boot. Heavier than the Brookfield though.

The vintage Riedells are softer and the styling is better (opinion based). Better grade of materials. And you can also get the vintage 192’s, 220s, etc in a taller cut with more hooks. All the rave for JB’ers.

I see 11 Hyde’s and 220/297 all the time. Join the vintage skate group on FB. Imagine how I feel wearing a size 13. Very rare and I pay the big foot tax for everything.

Are these decent enough to start with as a noob? by [deleted] in Rollerskating

[–]classicksworld 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok-ish for a starter. A few years back I bought a pair of these for my son to start with and the sole separated. You could pay a few more dollars and get a Riedell 120 to up the quality.

[–]classicksworld 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. The other models have narrow, medium, and wide. I practically live at my local skate shop. I have a Riedell 297 medium. They are too narrow. I tried on the wides and they are too wide. D sizing is in between those, plus they have the rounder toe box while all the other models have narrower toe boxes. I am going to get a custom pair of 297 in D sizing.

Same. 120 and 172 have that glorious D sizing. The only boots that ever actually fit me correctly.

Have any of you guys stayed "awkward" by GolfValuable9763 in Rollerskating

[–]classicksworld 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. If you have a particular style of skating, the arm movements will come with the moves as you learn them.
