@@Skatie Haha! You are a good gal wrapped as a really good skating coach. Thanks

[@valeskaleneux]

Perfect. I need to practice rolling toe manuals in a small space and need some quick ways to get moving.

[@Skatie]

Oh perfect. Have fun!

Hi, I absolutely love your videos, thank you so much for all that you do!!! I have a quick question per your skates, I’m an adult quad dancer competing in the US, just moved from Riedell to Risports, which are a much better fit for me. I have the Turchese, which I absolutely LOVE, (hard/med cushions, on a Variant for now) but I’m wondering if you also skate the stiffer ice dance version? It looks to me like you do from your videos but I can’t tell 100%. I’m thinking of getting some of those for a little added stability in deep edges/swings. I have a new dance plate and I can’t decide whether I want to swap it to the Turchese or go ahead and get the stiffer ice dance . I’m in bronze/silver dances… and starting to work on my intl/world skate dances

[@Skatie]

I’ve found the Turchese too soft. I’ve only been wearing it a few weeks and it’s badly breaking down. I usually skate the Risport dance elite boot and that is a great boot. It’s still from the roller collection but is a 65 rating. This poor Turchese isn’t going to last long. I do also have a Risport Cristallo but the back is custom cut down for dance so I can point my toe.

[@kristafabregas3152]

Thank you! Those are my thoughts exactly… I’m moving from Riedell to Risport because it fits me really well out of the box, I went from a 70 support without a dance cut down to the Turchese, and am enjoying the freedom, but I definitely feel squishy in my swings. I’ll put in an order for the dance boot and use this one for my knock around outside skate. The RF3 Pro is my other Risport fave.. freestyle and figures. Again.., thanks for all of your WONDERFUL tips and tutorials!!

[@Skatie]

@@kristafabregas3152 great to see a fellow Risport fan.

[@yardh]

Great video thank you. Doesnt the A hardness rating end at 100?

[@Skatie]

Yes. The 101’s are mainly a marketing thing. Like giving 110% ! 😂

[@nicecool123]

hey im using Roller Derby Girls Pixie Holographic Roller Skates with Adjustable sizing skates and when I try to turn my foot using my roller skates and its does not turn smoothly the wheels are made of utherene and whenever I try to do like for example a bubble move and the roller skates arent turning smoothly and it make a loud noise when I turn it. I think its because I'm doing it on laminated flooring I don't know can you please help or give me tips? Also I already adjusted my wheels to make them turn faster

[@innocehnt75]

have you tried adjusting your trucks?

[@Skatie]

Be careful in those skates as they have a plastic truck and that can be dangerous for adults. You may need to adjust the trucks. I have a video on how to do this correctly.
