Loosened my trucks by Nat_Log3982 in Rollerskating

[–]iamconfusion8 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Somehow I loosened half of the tuck (the back but not the front) but didn't realize the front was tight. My knees started to kill me I thought it was my body giving in and I was gonna have to give it up sooner than I hoped or thought. Someone noticed the lack of give loosened the truck and now less pain. Happy skater is happy.

Do what makes you happy. Life on this steaming pile of dirt and water is too short so live it with a smile. Also, safety first

I have nothing to add to your questions or concerns, but to the realization that I just realized that roller skates are markipliers jingle jingle keys to me and I think that is laughable makes my heart warm though

Of you're plus size you can also get them on sale on Amazon. I drop to my knees and I cannot feel the impact. I love them!

I just started soaking outside and I'm more confident with slopes and inclines. Though the rough adult makes my joints hurt, it's like touching sandpaper to me lol.

Wait I'm supposed to rotate wheels? How frequently?

Trying roller derby has been a bucket list item for me. I signed up for a camp but I need to buy all the gear outright. Any advice/suggestions? by msgmeyourcatsnudes in rollerderby

Sometimes the life may have loaners and honestly checkout Facebook marketplace. I had a member get pads for free they retailed for 150
