Thank you for the demonstration of the different parts of the roller skates. Good and useful information.

[@simon_slays55]

You are welcome! My pleasure :) Thank you

[@Orozco3721]

Hey you taught me something today! Ty. Also I watched a 5min ad for you so I hope they pay up 🤣

[@simon_slays55]

YOU THE BEST! That's awesome I love that

[@biggi-biggi]

Thank you so so much for this great video. Please please more about this theoretical stuff. As a beginner I do not know much about these things. If I could make a wish ;-) I would so much like to see a video about like where to screw here what does it make with the skates for example to make them faster or not, to make them more agil or not.....Thanks so much from Germany, Love and Peace :-)

[@simon_slays55]

Hi, nice to hear from you all the way from Germany! I love that. Thanks for your comment. I’ll do my best to make more videos like this! I enjoy teaching it.

[@marinabrola]

Another awesome video, thank you!🙏 I was just thinking why has no one made a simple guide of all these parts to assist in the maintenance of skates and a DIY build. To that end what functionality do the trucks and cushions have? I know from one of your last videos the plates being lighter like those plastic/nylon sunlight(was that the brand name? I've forgotten it now) ones you listed might help someone who finds regular skates overall to be heavy or hard on their joints. The wheels as far as their width and density cater to the type of skating i.e. those radar energy 65mm for the outdoor skating over fairly rough terrain. So in terms of a custom build I understand roughly the function and factors of selecting the wheels and plates but what about the trucks and cushions? What brands or types would I want to procure for say the same functionality of outdoor skating (tennis court/sidewalk/asphalt) but no skate park shenanigans like drops or jumps? Thanks again, love your channel and those coral orange leggings that didn't do right by you. Too bad I want some in blue💸

[@simon_slays55]

Awesome! Thank you so much for your input and in depth comment; l appreciate you! ♥️ Thank you, I’m glad you enjoy my channel & it makes me happy to hear. I’m working on some new content this month & I wrote down some videos I hope to make to help answer some of your questions ;) Got some good ideas!

[@koolhandlukemakemyday8812]

Keep them coming.! You explain things clearly and concise. You are a professional and your videos are very informative!

[@simon_slays55]

Thank you!

[@sungtongs]

Hiiiiii! This topic came up in my derby league - do you have any functional tips for organizing and/or displaying your gear at home? I’ve seen lots of folks use ikea cube shelves but if ya have any tips or wanna do a tour that would be so cool ❤

[@simon_slays55]

Omg I love this! My aesthetic interior decor & organizing self is living for a chance to show that and I just moved. I would love to do that. Thanks for the request and idea! ☺️♥️

[@motivated2010]

Love your videos!!!! very beneficial (watched the plow video several times) for I'm new to skating after 30 plus year gap and its not like riding a bike...LOL. One question about plow; I find myself still rolling; do you think its because I'm not pointing my toes toward each other? Gonna practice more today. I enjoy skating again and look forward to skating 3-4 times a week. Its very freeing and fun!!! Again, thank you for sharing!

[@xxsoiiiboiiixx]

Hey! I was trying to see the diy miniramp tutorial but the video is now private. Is there any way to see it? Thanks so much

[@simon_slays55]

Hey Chris! I think we connected on IG- I did private all the videos my ex was in, but I just now finally made that video public for you. Good luck with the ramp :) I'm stoked for you! Please tag me in your final build, I'd love to see it. Hope you enjoy the tutorial

[@xxsoiiiboiiixx]

@@simon_slays55 THANK YOUUUUU 😊! I definitely will!!

[@morgantalbert7103]

I see you have an aftermarket trucks on your skates. I am thinking about getting some for my ridell skates. But I just want to have them for park and beach skating. Do they make skating more stable and comfortable?

[@dyoung1266]

Really like the pink wide trucks you use. They come in size 2.5 and 3 inch widths. I don't know which size to buy. What difference would each size make?

[@simon_slays55]

Great question! Let me give you a full answer after I put the info together ;)
