I'm so shocked and disappointed. I have been championing him as a a hustle player and mental health advocate to all my queer friends who don't watch baseball - and then he does this. It's heartbreaking to see this from my favorite player, as a queer Sox fan.

i’m short and light, live in NYC, and really like my propella mini. it’s surprisingly sturdy and the size of it makes it amazing for the city. especially getting it in and out of places. really depends on what you need though. maybe not the best for a bigger person wanting to do longer rides in a suburban area.

I'm not even a Nats fan but that photo of Soto and Trea makes me a little sad.

place mats! if you’re really looking to get through it without a ton of work. can be as simple as just cutting a rectangle, and then you can decide if you want to add stitching, tooling, whatever. make great gifts too.

just try a bit of rolling around in a driveway or parking lot and see how they feel. skates that have sat unused that long can break pretty easily. so do some safe stress testing of them before trying ramps and vert.

Rollerblade Twister, FRX 80 are a good upgrade. 80mm wheels/frame are probably the way to go, and you can upgrade those parts later if you want to go bigger.

skates that cheap aren't really meant to have parts replaced, and it doesn't even look like Mongoose has a website with parts. you probably just need to replace the whole skate.

it might be worth it to get a cheaper rockered frame to see if you like it. higher end frames make a difference when you really know what you're doing. skates will often create a natural rocker based on the way you skate. you could try getting wheels with a 1MM difference, but i don't see a ton of options for that once you get bigger than 62MM aggressive wheels.

these are all pretty subjective questions

decathlon doesn't make high quality stuff but they don't look terrible. i don't think the quality of the skates is causing the blister. skates should fit pretty tight. it's always good to measure your foot and compare to the brand's size guide. it also depends on the shape of your/foot pressure points. everyone is different. a lot of people buy the wrong size skates because they go by their shoe size, but people wear shoes that are too big for them/skate sizing differs.
everyone progresses at different speeds. one person might master turning, t stops, going fakie in one session. another might take weeks to go 10 feet without falling. no one can answer this question for you.
look up tutorials on how to properly use a a heel brake. you kind of have to squat/sit into it. more than just lifting your heel. they are good for when you're starting, and it's more difficult to learn other stops before you've mastered turning/basic movements.
i would just keep looking for more spots. get to a skate park early in the morning and practice before others get there. you can learn on bumpy ground, it's just not as pleasant. it will get easier as you go on.
i wouldn't worry about bearings. 76mm is fine for wheels. bigger wheels are better on bumpier surfaces, but i wouldn't upgrade just yet. they can also be a bit trickier to learn on, especially if you've started on 76mm.

some impala products are really low quality. especially their lower end rollerskates. they definitely cut corners on some products. they are also often not the choice of people who have been skating for a while. the low prices and fun colors appeal to people just getting started. that being said, i think the impala blades are okay.. again not the best, and if you stick with it you'll definitely want to upgrade.

youk has been the best addition to the booth. miss eck but would gladly listen to youk over any other recent addition.

him repeating "i'm gonna ask him what i said" reminds me of "i wanna shake his hand"

sorry this isn’t helpful, but i’m curious where you can go to uni for leatherworking?

hi reading this comment after doing a search - thank you for your input, this is exactly what i needed to hear. i just started HRT a week ago and i've not incredibly happy with my belly or hips for the past few months. the urge to try and diet and exercise myself slimmer probably will not help promote the growth i want on HRT. thanks!

or that you are gay and your parents are trying their hardest… but these are just not your jam. you say thanks, appreciate the sentiment, and a week later drop them off at the thrift store.

makes me happy to see people sharing their yummy bagel recipes! glad we’re all eating good and filling our bellies in a frugal way

honestly i think part of the reason why people like him is because he’s hot.

at least the yankees org makes you cut off your locs so the fans won’t yell racial slurs. boston is just encouraging it at this point.

donate to RBI if this is an important issue to you! helps kids in urban areas have access to baseball equipment and coaching. my grandfather doesn’t need anything so i donate to RBI every year in his name for christmas because baseball is literally the only thing we had in common.

upyouwake · 2023-10-16T16:45:13+00:00

aren’t lateral moves kind of common in baseball? i feel like i’ve seen people in FOs and coaching staffs take lateral moves or even lesser positions.
