15 Weird Rollerblader Traits

[@Drummavore]

@7:41 truth! aww dude that gap oh that rail

[@TomMoyse]

Always !

[@Krimbopulous]

I honestly haven't skated in like 13 years and what you described will forever be the first thing I do when I get in the pool.

[@TomMoyse]

Hahaha amazing

[@briansparks1632]

That joke about needing a planning permit if the soul plates get any wider…. Mate that’s rollerblading comedy gold right there

[@TomMoyse]

Haha thanks man - they are getting quite big

[@Stolz3D]

Another story connected to the „spot hunt mode“: Two years ago I visited a smaller French city with my girlfriend. It was a terribly hot day and after a quick visit in the city’s center we decided to get back to the car and drive home. Unfortunately we had absolutely forgotten where the car was parked and wandered around in search for the stupid parking lot. Suddenly I recognized something that looked like a fun gap which I knew that I had seen before and I could use this to navigate back to my car.. so spot Hunt Mode can be quite helpful even without skates! ;)

[@TomMoyse]

Haha amazing! Life skills from skating

[@traldarlp48]

I noticed this happen to me too. My orientation in urban places is just sooo much better due to the focus on my surroundings.

[@matthewweaver8212]

Been a solid 15 years since skating and I still look at rails n ledges. Getting skates in the next couple weeks. Can’t wait

[@TomMoyse]

Yes! Welcome back

[@matthewweaver8212]

@@TomMoyse thanks!!!

[@ryrod]

23 years of blading. 100% The wife has come to realize that there's a better chance of me checking out a rail or ledge when walking by than another lady. haha. She knows by now that I'm always on the lookout for spots. Same with the looking up skateparks before trips. In-laws moved last year and we're planning a trip to see them. First thing I did...see how close a good park is.

[@iRollerboot]

[@TomMoyse]

Haha best comment

[@espo7182]

Another great one bro. I'm an OG started in 94, stopped in 2000 and started again a couple of years ago. I will say that I never really used street view, anytime I was out in public working(I work for nyc sanitation) or traveling, even in the years I didn't skate, I was ALWAYS looking for spots. Or seeing sick ledges/gaps and thinking about skating that. It totally changes how you look at the world. AND trying tricks on the sofa?? Always back in the 90s. Throw on a video and copy the tricks on the sofa. Lol

[@TomMoyse]

Always on the hunt for spots hey - it never stops! Those poor sofas haha never safe! Thanks for sharing dude

[@REDISCOVERBLADES]

Seriously good chap! Love these!

[@TomMoyse]

Cheers!!

[@lacedmanoeuvres]

"Pro socks" Is like the funniest thing you've ever said 😅❤ Just had an idea, maybe you could do a bit of Rollerblading Stand Up at a blading event like Winter Clash or Blading Cup. Just a thought.

[@TomMoyse]

I’m serious about the pro socks. Stand Up is not for me. It would be cool to do something live, I’m not sure what that looks like right now. Maybe being a panel discussing stuff 🤷‍♂️

[@lacedmanoeuvres]

@@TomMoyse Yeah a panel would be cool 💯

[@davewestsk8]

I'm always doing grind positions on cracks or gaps in between floor tiles. I drive around at work and see a rail out the corner of my eye and check the run up run out is it capped etc.

[@TomMoyse]

Keep practising and keep spotting rails - this is the way

[@iRollerboot]

CANNOT walk on tiled floors without doing/thinking about switch ups.

[@austerberrys101]

Spot on once again, Tom! However... GForm and shins... No Bueno... Try the Ennui park shin guards, or the Triple 8 shinguards... Way better. Spot hunting for sure is the way that we shall always remain. 😘

@@TomMoyse from what I remember, it was pretty decent. Quite compact, but loads of stuff squeezed in. Guess it depends how far you gotta travel. On the plus side though, you can hit up the water slides at Butlins.

Downsizing wouldn't be necessary if skate companies would stop lumping size 11 into the same shell as a 9. Respect the foot size and make a few extra shells 😞

[@TomMoyse]

Haha wish more companies had the scope to do it.

[@itraynell]

That downsizing bit is no joke. Ive seen people on reddit say that they’re a size 11 yet can somehow squeeze themselves into a size 9 or 8. I understand downsizing half a size to a full size down to get a tighter more secure fit, but 2-3 sizes down? That’s insane.

[@TomMoyse]

Hahaha people go wild for it. It would be great for every boot company to do individual size shells. Hopefully on the future that is feasible.

[@sterlingpratt4901]

My least favorite rollerblader trait is that married guy meme bullshit. "How much was it?" "They gave it to me!"

[@sterlingpratt4901]

Like, if rollerblading means that much to you, but your partner doesn't respect that, it just makes you look like a fuckin clown for choosing to be with someone who doesn't support you.

Also something that I think you'd find funny happened to me.
