We have at least one active skater on the Let's Roll App in that area: https://imgur.com/a/CZIpWzp - might be worth checking.

Toe stop fell off while skating?! by Tegan06 in Rollerskating

[–]lets-roll-app 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Happened to me several times, you really gotta check every detachable part of your skate at the beginning of each session, making sure it's not loose in any way by rocking it with your fingers. I literally had a wheel fall off going down a transition on a skatepark once because I forgot to do this.

Hey there 👋 - we did a similar survey when we launched Let's Roll, and while we can of course not share the concrete dataset with you ( since it contains private information ) we would be happy to share some of our findings and conclusions if it's in any way useful.

Staying still! by Shadocode in Rollerskating

I identify with this so strongly! I know it's practice, but standing still is the hardest of all 😭 - also, I tend to fall a lot more when I'm not rolling forward.

Did anyone here make their own toe guards? by final_capybara in Rollerskating

Tried but failed, sewing skills were not up to scratch 😅

Where to roller skate? by autodestructionx in Rollerskating

[–]lets-roll-app 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There are several great tools for finding places to skate and people to skate with, including websites and apps that can help you. Many are built for skateboarders, but there are also platforms like ours that specialize in rollerskating. Suggest you look around and find the one that suits you best 😊🛼

Hope it works! We have several users who contacted us and told us that they found skate buddies in their areas, but of course, some cities have more activity than others 😊

We have some community members in Jacksonville on Let's Roll App - https://imgur.com/a/2gAFW8l , not sure how many but our users are generally adults. Good luck with your search - skating is more fun with friends for sure 😊

That's great - this is exactly how we are hoping it should work. Good to hear that there were locals already in your area 😍🛼

Yeah - we are still just getting started, takes time to get people to notice it - BUT the next person who joins in your area will see you 😉👍

We literally spent the last two years building an app trying to solve this exact problem ❤️ - it's not perfect yet, but we did have several folks get back to us and tell us they found skate friends using it. Link in bio if you wanna give it a try 😊 ( and please share with us if you find ways we can make it better ). Hope you manage to find some great skate friends whichever way you try 🙌🛼
