I took my outdoor wheels to an indoor rink last week and my God I was so embarrassed. I was so slow and fell too many times thinking all my outdoor practice was in my head😅 I came across your video and many others talking about wheels and it’s function. Now I know the truth lol.

[@Naturalgurl318]

Lol

[@Claudia-tb3dy]

What kind of wheels was it? What rating on soft/hardness.. Mines are 82a and according to her rating those are hybrid.. barely lol. So im debating whether to take my skates inside or not.

[@-D-W]

@@Claudia-tb3dy In my experience, if you use a wheel with a hardness rating of less than 92A, you are going to expend a lot of energy at getting around the floor on indoor rinks.

[@paulanascimento7632]

Same thing happened to me. I was humiliated haha

[@stefanyescobar6305]

Same problem I had!

[@PelloTap]

I feel like this video spoke directly to my skating soul!!! I really was getting frustrated that wasn't able to turn and spin smoothly. I changed my wheels (outdoor to indoor) and it was like i got a brand new set of feet! Thank you so much!! This channel is awesome!!!!!

Thank you!! I have been so confused about wheels. I recently switched from speed wheels to 95As and the difference for me was dramatic...now I understand why!

[@Camcia999]

so good video! I changed my wheels on typical outdoor wheels (78 A) and i didn't know why i couldn't do some tricks as easy as i did before. I was frustrating and i stooped skateing for some time. Now i know the reason. Thank U so much!

[@ashleyfrank1913]

I am so happy I found this. I was so concerned about all the sliding I do at my local rink. My skates came with 96A and they are tooooo slippery. I think I need to go down to 88A until I get better. I have 78A already for outdoors.

[@BeautifulEarthStudio]

This really helps! I've been skating on speed wheels for years, and have trouble pulling of tricks...now I think I understand it's not me, it's my wheels!

Best video about skate wheels on KZbin by far!!

[@uniquetq4716]

I’m definitely a wheel girl. I change wheels like underwear. I have a wheel for each activity. I don’t care how expensive they are. I have outdoor pulse wheels and in my neighborhood street is virtually rock so it sucks. My luminous wheels are hybrid and I love them but they still are kind of sticky indoors as I am a beginner.

[@stephaniewillis2622]

"I change wheels like underwear" 😂👍

[@godjhaka7376]

But pulse and luminous are very cheap lol. I've paid over $130 for my phenolics the one way to the right. I'll be paying over $250 for some SCs with aluminum hubs . Then throw in $150 swiss ceramics bearings

[@Sm0lFox]

[@junipersprites2167]

This video was super helpful! I loved the way you broke them down into categories and gave examples of what types of wheels work for what situations. When websites have huge swaths of wheels listed, it can definitely be hard to know where to start, so thank you! Out of curiosity, what is the hardness/material of the average rental skate wheel?

[@Dirtydeborahharry]

Glad it was helpful! Rental wheels are in the mid 90's range.

[@davidjeannieintexas7816]

I started roller skating around 1970 or so. I don't remember all the numbers being used back then. When I started taking dance lessons I ordered new wheels because mine were a bit slippery for the edges needed when dancing with mum partner. I asked my instructor what kind I needed and he order new wheels that were in my price range. They worked much better. I have not skated for over 40 years now and am buying new skates soon. Can't wait to get them to hit the rink and the outdoor park in my area. I thank you for explaining the different types of wheels and the number system used. Now I can make a better informed purchase. Keep the videos coming, I for one can use all the help I can get! 🛼😀🛼

I am 5 months into this and I now have 2 pair of skates and 4 sets of wheels. I have only skated outside 1 time on my Road Hog wheels. Just bought knee wrist and head protection. Thanks for this! When I skated in my youth I had wood wheels too.

[@FrancisMaxino]

When all the major rinks closed down in the 90s in New Zealand I could only skate outdoors, sometimes with the rollerbladers, I started to use skateboard wheels because that's all I could find, as they wore down thinner I'd find other old skateboards and steal their wheels, generally I use fairly hard, large skateboard wheels but they are crap on really rough concrete and probably need some slightly softer hybrids.

[@rayleenlilley3549]

I’ve been skating on an 82A that my Candi Girl skates came with for starter skates and I LOVE them! I’m on almost month three of skating I use them at the skate park, at the rink, on trails, and it’s so true they may not be the fastest but they’re so perfect for now 👌🏼

[@patricelondon3]

I just got some this week but haven't made it to the rink yet to feel the difference. Outside, they're great!

[@sierrajade7875]

If I could only have one wheel, it would be my 84a hybrids. It happens that I don’t, as I’m a wheel nut and a rink rat as well as a street skater, and love hard wheels inside. But they really are the perfect middle ground!

I've been skating on quads since 12yo but always on rentals. Now with this quarantine I decided to get back in the game & purchase a pair of Bullet low rise speed skates than realized the wheels weren't intended for outdoor use!

i love you so much! im 28 and during this shite isolation period i realised how boring walking is, and how much i miss skating when i was a kid and then i found you and Indi Jamma Jones and youve inspired me so much! So im gunna invest in my first pair, probably a Rookie (I live in the London, Uk) and get practising so when the isolation ban is lifted i can join the London roller disco scene! maybe even the roller derby ;) IM SO EXCITED.

You are a CHARACTER!! I'm getting back into outdoor skating here in Morro Bay (up the coast from you). Grew up on skates in the Bay Area. Even dance skated in Newport and Venice Beach in the mid 80's. Want to dust off the skills and get back into dancing on my skates as long as I don't bust my _______. Saw that you have a bunch of other skating videos which I will take a look at. Hey, 3.1K thumbs up reviews! Good for you and I can see why. My question is: What is wrong with those 21 who gave you a thumbs down??? Oh, that's right. Those 21 are the guys who blame their skates and wheels, huh? Keep on Rollin' !!!

LOL!!! It's me, Krisstofer from the Crazy World of Krisstofer... I'm laughing, because as I was watching this, I noticed the sound quality... I was like, "I can't hear you dirty!" and I was trying to troubleshoot my computer, turing my speakers up over 50, only to find out, it's actually because this was before you got that good mic! It's really fun to come back to these older vlogs and see the progress we make as creators. Proof that I need to continue trucking on with my channel. Just like skating... We all have to start somewhere. I was all set to edit my videos, only to find out that the sound cut out on my footage... So, I just realized that every time that I go to film, I need to conduct a sound check before I call CUT!!! LOL!!! LOL... I've been tryna kill myself looking for the durometer of the phenolic wheels... and you just said it here, "so hard, they don't even have a hardness rating..." LOL... However, when you conduct a list to compare and contrast, it's difficult for me, when all fields are not filled in. I just gotta roll with it.

[@jennyspennies243]

Holy cow. The internet never fails to impress. Since the early 90s I've skates in my low cut Carreras with 67mm speed wheels. And I shuffle skate! Now I get why I had to power so hard in the shuffling since the wheels held so much resistance unless I was going hella fast!

[@naturalthyme9027]

Thank you so much! I was struggling as to if my 83a skates where ok to wear outdoors and now I know I can use them for both indoors and outdoors 🙂

[@Dirtydeborahharry]

Happy to help!

[@blacksheep6365]

Don't rinks check to see if wheels have been used outdoors? Seems like wheels that have rolled outside frequently, might inflict more wear on that nice rink floor.

[@TheSchmuck01]

Wheels for every occasion! Meanwhile, my inline blade friends seem to use the same wheels for everything, simultaneously more agile everywhere and better on rough outdoor paths

[@godjhaka7376]

That's because inlines are very different than quads. This video does not apply to inlines

[@EndlessOceans]

felt wheel differences from riding different skates at my local rink, but this video really helped me UNDERSTAND it. I used to skateboard, and it wasn’t a tangible concept to me back then. Now getting back into roller skating; yeah it’s extremely important! Thanks for the clear and FUN explanation!

[@rockandrollerskater]

BLESS YOU!!! THANK YOU!!! I have been overloading my brain doing my own research coming back into roller skating from child hood. Also I know no-one else that roller skates. I've quickly outgrown the skates I bought on the fly, I fell deeply back in love and Im learning everything about who I am and what I really need in my skatelife. I unfortunately got my moxi right when covid came so I've made a hole in my garage for practice got a pair for my 7 year old boy as well and luckily have access to his elementary school all to myself, but when I hit the roads and parking lots the rumble hits my bones so hard, I get nervous and kiss that gravel hard. On the other hand I am also creative in my movement, dance and freestyling footwork and love to get some speed..... wheels bearings and adjustments what to buy!!!!??!

[@Dirtydeborahharry]

Okay ... outdoor set-up ... I like the SureGrip Gravity, Motion or Boardwalk wheels. The bearings I like for outdoors are the Qube Teal in 8mm size. You can get these at planetrollerskate.shop.

I’ve been using Speed skate wheels for so long at my skating ring, and I’ve constantly been struggling with spins and transitions, I’ve always thought it was my wheels but watching this video really made me realize it is my wheels (I’m a man btw lol). But in all honesty using speed skates while working on transitions made me a bit more technical with my footwork because of how much they grip the floor. I really appreciate your videos!!!!

[@ashleyfrank1913]

I should have watched this 4 months ago. I bought Fomac Harmony wheels at someone's suggestion. I am used to them now, but I am still a beginner. I still slide while crossing in the turn and I just learned transitions lol. I really need to go back to my SureGrip fames after watching this video. The Harmonys need to wait a little longer.

[@Juanita_Randall]

Years ago I could skate without even thinking about falling, it was on the steel wheels. When I grew older I had a lace up pair that had wooden wheels. I was told by an indoor skating instructor, that I had a strong skating stance. It was was a result of all of those years growing up skating with steel wheels, on many ruff and bumpy concrete sidewalks. Many years later The rink that I had become accustomed to going to closed its doors one day, and another business moved into the facility. One day I decided to skate outside and it was glorious. I later went to another rink that was far from home. I thought that I would glide around th rink a few turns and was surprised to know that my well used lace up skates had me slipping and sliding across the floor. It was quite embarrassing. I had ruined the wheels when I took a spin around the neighborhood. Back then I was young and not into keeping my equipment in good working order, I didn't even think about replacing the wheels, I also had out grown the skate, I never realized that they were a half size too small till I was giving them away. Talk about clueless. They were a christmas gift that I held onto for a very long time. I'm in my 70's now and too afraid of hurting something. Some driveways have a incredibly steep slope. I'm glad that I don't have to navigate any of those. I hope that the trainer (not a person) will help me to gain the confidence that I lost when I became a senior citizen, then I can put it in a corner while I have fun. Wheeeeee? By the way, going forward was the only thing that I did, and a short controlled turn around. I never fell, except once, when my wheel fell off.

[@sabrinadavis7967]

Hey Deborah 👋🏿 I have recently change my wheels from the original outdoor wheels that came with the Candigirl's skates to some hybrid wheels. I skate indoor and outdoors and have have so much fun on both terrains. However my question is how do I know when my wheels are to far gone or used to keep using. I love your videos❤

Thank you so much for this vid! I was looking everywhere for information on durometer, indoor vs outdoor, what the heck is a speed wheel anyway?! and was struggling to find a concise explanation. This helped me so much! I've been skating outside a bunch thanks to "social distancing" but I'm in Colorado so the snow will be here soon, relegating me to skating in my hallway... so I ordered a new set of indoor wheels. But sounds like I need a third set of harder wheels too! I'm hoping I'll go back to your videos and find one just on bearings so I'll be better informed when I buy my next set. Keep on keepin' on!

Looks like it will be the harder indoor wheel as I have a set of hybrids and outdoor. What hardness would you suggest for my first indoor wheels?

@@MyLazyDM Honestly, I'd start softer and build up. You know the floor best, though...so it's really up to you on *where* to start. Certainly no less than a 92A, though.

Great video! Not suitable for my purposes today but I have it saved for when the time comes. I personally haven't skated in a million years but remember how much joy it brought me so I am getting ready to introduce my grandkids to the activity for the first time at Christmas which is what brought me to your video. I am trying to decide on what skates to buy them and it seems the options are nearly endless (so much different than way way way back when I was skating!!) and I just don't know how I am going to be able to make a decision. I have become so overwhelmed not only from the infinite number of options but also by my deep desire for them to fall in love with skating. I am trying to ensure that I have done everything I can to give them a proper foundation to get started with because I know that if they have a negative experience right at the start then there is very little chance for them to give it another try later in their lives. Skating is not overly popular in our area so future exposure is doubtful. I am hopeful that they will find skating to be super fun, a great way to exercise & build strength and a very useful activity to relieve stress and anxiety. So again, thank you for the informational video and I hope I have a need for the information in the coming months.

This is really helpful, as the skates I have come with outdoor or gummy wheels, and I've been having trouble trying to turn, and go backwards, whereas my sister can do it easily, because she has indoor wheels! I'll purchase some indoor wheels right away, thank you!

Hi Dirty, I really enjoy watching your channel on skating. I just started back skating again after 40+ years. I bought some Chicago style skates and I had to replace the wheels after the first time out. The wheels did not roll very well so I bought some Rollerbone wheels 101As and some ball bearings. My question is the wheels I got have grooves in them, this is new to me, most wheels i have seen are solid and smooth. I am a indoor rink skaters so the wheels give me a smooth roll but they seen to have more grip. What is the advantage/disadvantage to having grooves in the wheels. Thanks for providing great instructions, I look forward to new episodes.

Yo ! Dirty ! Have really really been enjoying your courses , my daughters and me , we just love skating on quads , we luv it we luv it we luv it ! You rock , and no shame or fear on my part , I take them skating , we are learning to skate and getting better every day . Lol , I got a pair of VNLA blue skates because I liked how they look , this was before watching your videos . After replacing the bumpers and wheels I can skate pretty ok for an old school rookie on the completely wrong skate for me , however it challenged me , and I have learned and I have made them work and I am all the better for it.
