Did you enjoy this video? Was it helpful at all? What other kind of other skate experiments should we do next?

[@ThaMmria]

If you all haven’t already, different kinds of wheels? Indoor, outdoor, hybrid? Preferences for different surfaces? Thank you for these videos! ❣️

[@moxiskates]

@@ThaMmria yes! Those videos are actually on their way! Please subscribe if you haven’t already to make sure that you don’t miss them!

I would love to see a bushings experiment! I honestly think they get ignored most of the time but changing them from soft to medium and to hard made a huge difference for me.

[@moxiskates]

[@juiceman977]

Types of plates used in the various skating disciplines and why. I.E. street, derby and dance etc. This episode was educational and enjoyable. Thanks.

[@allisonhay8760]

I recently loosened my trucks and all of a sudden I can skate a little better.

[@rachelmarie6232]

Same

[@blaw810]

Do you loosen the back and the front or just the front?

[@allisonhay8760]

I loosened both in equal increments until I could turn by leaning. ( my feet next to each other, leaning left, then leaning right, turning enough to go around an obstacle)

[@mlm1025]

😲😍okaaay. 👍👏👏👏👏Im learning everyday something new😁

[@hayleytull2300]

Same!

[@erinmcmillan8249]

I really appreciate y'all showing so many different styles and opinions! As a newer skater it can sometimes be hard to hear so many folks saying "this is the way" when that just doesn't feel comfortable to you. It's reassuring to see other people preferring tight trucks and even just encouraging experimentation

[@nnnnbeennnnbee]

Excellent advice , well explained .I love loose trucks

[@FlickSuicide]

I'm just getting reacquainted with roller skating, and this is my first pair of roller skates that I never have to give back... I am here in Canada waiting for snow to melt and practicing in a wee bachelor apartment. You girls look like rockstars skating the park!

[@FlickSuicide]

I am putting my own spin of roller skating by incorporating a pole into the mix... I survived breast cancer and my pole practice fell to the wayside. It's been 5 years now, my roller-skates have reignited something in me. I am so thankful for all of your really helpful videos, thank you ladies!

[@FlickSuicide]

Will there ever be a wider version of the Beach Bunny available? Or the Lollies? I have fat little piggies lol

[@dwaconsulting1609]

I'm a beginner beginner and I like my trucks tight because I feel like I have control and I haven't tried to loosen them I may try once I'm a little more experienced

[@pepsiplease69]

I used to skate as a kid and I remember being able to lean in one direction and steer that way without effort. Fast forward about 30 years, and I tried to get back into roller skating again last year. I felt it was much more challenging to get back into it. I felt I had way less confidence controlling where I wanted to go and stopping. It felt kinda odd to have unlearned something I had known how to do as a kid. Just last week I loosened my trucks by a lot and added a heel brake to my left skate, and wow, day and night difference. Now I can kick up a lot of speed and maneuver and steer very easily. Apparently my skates came with real tight trucks straight from factory. Now I can do bubbles and reverse bubbles going backwards and so much more. I don’t feel like I’ll collide into anybody if I go skating at the park (almost happened to me once, very scary)

[@autumnrose5336]

My right skate is SUPER squeaky and I can't figure out why. I'm a beginner skater and I've tried about everything I can think of. Tightened my trucks, loosened my trucks. Cleaned my barrings, changed my wheels...someone help please :(

[@moxiskates]

maybe its the cushions?

[@jordand.6032]

I’m such a noob I was wondering why I couldn’t turn right . Lol didn’t even know this was a thing

[@sinharakshit]

Right I knew something was wrong ,definitely will loosen

[@sapphiclynx7761]

I've been skating for 7 years and I never knew it was my trucks that were the problem lmao now I can turn a lot smoother

[@rachaelthompson6841]

7 years and the mystery is solved!!!!! 💕

[@midlifeskater6863]

Beginner skater here (skating for 6 months). I like keeping my trucks a bit loose because I'm focusing on body posture and weight distribution. I think it's worth playing with the truck adjustment on the areas I feel I've mastered.

[@sinharakshit]

I just loosened my trucks yesterday, all 4 of them! And oh my gosh! I seemed to have unlocked a new level of skating comfort that I never knew existed! Of course took me a few minutes to even get a proper balance on them. But once I got the hang of it, I literally felt like I could do everything!!

[@amirxh.a]

I had NO IDEA Estro Jen went by they/them! Oh well, the more you know

[@gray8828]

Same!!

[@pattmahiney]

I really think EstroThem would be a fucking badass nickname. It might be derogatroy. I'm gay but I'm still learning. Either way, more power to them! They're one of my biggest skating idols... and I'm an inliner!! 😂😂 love it

@@pattmahiney It wouldn't be derogatory..It just wouldn't make sense. EstroJen is a play on the hormone estrogen.

[@pattmahiney]

@@EndlessNameless. yeah it really only works for people who know them lol figures

[@laugr744]

I wish people talked about this more in derby. I was skating with extremely tight trucks for WAY too long until someone else took a look at them and loosened them up. I didn't even realize how much it was impairing me until it was fixed. That, and having really cheap skates at the time (lol... cheap skate). I was really working hard just to skate forward. When I tried doing crossovers, my skates would literally fight against the curve, and go in the OPPOSITE direction. Once they were loosened I didn't feel like I was fighting so hard to get the movement I was after.

[@user1lol666]

How tight an individual's trucks are depends on the hardness of the bushings, the weight of the individual, & the unique way they hold their weight. It's gonna be different for everybody. If you feel as if you can't turn even with loosened trucks, consider softer bushings & vice versa(if you can"t tighten your trucks enough bc they are just 'too turny' even when fully tightened, consider harder bushings). just my 2 cents ahaha

[@moxiskates]

Solid input!

[@christopherfinn5425]

Ty for saying this. Lot of people do not factor in weight

[@hemlock1722]

when they all tightened their trucks and Estro went, "Feels good to me!" my heart exploded. They're so cuteeeeee

[@moxiskates]

❤️

[@careyhickerson5077]

I'm definitely going to try loosening my trucks. I got a new set and haven't skated on quads ever since I was a little kid so my brain is still tuned for inline.

[@ohkaygoplay]

Mine, too. I just got some Lollys, and it's been 10 years since I've skated - even on blades. But I kept trying to T stop like you would on ice skates or blades, and my wheels bounced. It was weird.

[@daysoffleadtooffdays1814]

Same here !

[@mafiajusticecake]

I have mine suuuuper tight. It feels like I can get more power pumping into tricks than I can with looser trucks. I also feel much more secure skating backwards with tight trucks, I don't want them squirreling around underneath me!!

[@rosesaregreeen]

"Alright well that was fun, experimental and a little sketchy..." They just described my entire skating career lol

[@carolinebell9656]

I learned the basics of skating on very tight trucks (thank you Estro and Deborah from the Dirty School of Skate) and as foul weather approached tried a few days on looser trucks SCARED THE HECK OUT OF ME - I think I feel similar to Estro since I learned all my basics and balance on tight trucks I heaved my body and focus all into the balls of my feet (my thighs b u r n e d) and found my control and balance there so when the trucks were loosened I felt out of control and wobbly, they did move smoother but I couldn't control the movement. ALTHOUGH that was the experience just straight skating (on pretty bumpy outdoor pavement) my biggest struggle first season on skates was with my dance moves and making them fluid so as soon as every parking lot is NOT covered in snow I'll leave my trucks a little loose and experiment. Totally a confidence boost to watch this video, my disco rollerskating dad seemed very against my tight truck ways but when you know, you know!

[@Clem1619]

In addition to loose/tight trucks, the cushion softness can change a lot too. My best setting is : slighlty loose trucks with extra soft cushion 72A. It varies depending the style of skating and preferences, but if your are light weight, soft cushions are going to be a life changer

[@kiara.oblongata]

Omg yes!! I just got my new skates and i loosened them a tiny bit and they felt SUPER loose! Idk what durometer the cushions are but the wheels are stick 78 the softest I’ve ever skated on and all of that going on was new to me so noted adjust trucks for those wheels. I am used to skating on an 85 slightly loose front and more tight in back. Who knew?! Lol

[@KJ-wq6gc]

Agreed, as a heavier skater harder cushions allow me to have my trucks more loose. It def varies by personal preference and even body type.

[@sherrylwalker9344]

What is a cushion softness? my new beach bunny moxi wheel says 78A?

[@Charristar]

I’m not sure what I like yet. I grew up skating and just had any old skates. There was a skating scene. But not all these amazing options that there are today. I asked for skates for Christmas and I got them. I haven’t skated since about 25 years old. I’m now 47. It’s so crazy to me that I’m learning all over again and so much has changed in the skate world. I watch videos and it terrifies me. I keep telling myself not to freak myself out... that I still know how to skate somewhere inside me.

[@moxiskates]

You got this!

[@BeastFromTheEast79]

You just Gave me more Hope at 41. When I was younger, it was like the red carpet was rolled out for me because I was good then. Then I had kids, and for the last 17 year’s they’ve been pulled out twice. The last time my feet hurt so bad, and I ended up to show off and slammed into a wall and immediately left out of embarrassment lol. I hope I can find my grove as this was the best therapy growing up.

[@Charristar]

@@moxiskates Thank you.

[@Charristar]

@@BeastFromTheEast79 Isn’t the weirdest thing?! All those years of skating 20+ years and now having to learn again. I think watching the videos is sorta... crippling me. They put a fear in me that I never had skating ever back in the day. I just keep telling myself that I still know... it’s still there. With that said... I haven’t even begun my new skating journey yet. I’m saving up for pads. I promised myself that I wouldn’t even go skate at all till I have all my protective gear. When were younger we don’t have a care in the world. It’s like we’re untouchable and capable of anything. Well... 47 year body ain’t going to deal with a fall like it used to. I’d be so mad at myself if I break a leg or a hip. At this age I’d never heal and be the same again. I’ve skated in my kitchen just to get used to the feel of skated again. But for the most part the skates are sitting in the box just waiting for me to get the gear. It’s about another $150 for gear. So not sure when it will happen. I’m thinking one thing at a time. But I’m still sorta researching pads to figure out which ones I actually want. Which has been a whole other thing. I hope you doing great and having fun! Would love to hear an update if you get a chance 🥰 Sending you all the good vibes on your “re-skating” experience 👍👍

[@His.Heart.]

[@denisejaydub]

I’ve loved watching evelyns skate evolution!!! She’s come so far!!! 😍

[@BlueHazyDreams]

Got the tip to loosen my trucks from a more experienced skater where I was practicing, did just a quarter turn on all of them, and suddenly I could bubble with ease and smoothly turn by leaning. That feeling I got the first time I picked up speed and glided round the corner hooked me for good.

[@wo0o0o0ho0o0]

New skater (at 51). I used to live on skates when I was a kid and now I’m re-learning how to skate. Will definitely try loosening my trucks slightly and seeing how it feels. Btw love all of your channel’s videos.

[@releasethedogs]

Wait... wait... Evelyn just said “I’m a beginner”. 😧🤯😅 I beg to differ. 😄 Anyway, I (an actual newb) had a fun time watching this video. I’ll try this out next time I’m skating. Cheers!

[@SmilesP0W]

This was great. When I started roller derby 10 or so years ago... so many people would say " this is the only set up that works"... I used to struggle with trusting my own preferences ( at first)... this is a fantastic video that shows how even though skating helps connect us to a community, it's also a very individual journey. I personally like mine on the looser side. I feel like my brain is more connected to my skates, like I think about what I want to do and I can do it.

[@cremebobq5506]

OMG! Thank you so much for uploading this!! Here’s a story time of yesterday: some backstory I ordered my Moxi beach bunny’s and they came last Wednesday, prior to that I loosened my trucks after watching Rebels video on what to do after getting skates and I went skating around the neighborhood and I felt like I was dragging behind my left foot but I just assumed it was the wind but NO, after five minutes the whole back truck came apart and the pieces fell on the sidewalk and all what was left was my front two wheels attached and the bare truck sticking through my boot without wheels 😬 I had to call my mom to come pick me up by the sidewalk cause there was no way! I was going to walk home with a bare wheeled boot. Note to self: Try to keep skate tool with you at all times, second, trust your gut BEACUSE I started to make noises and I assumed it was the boot, and third, DONT LOOSEN TOO MUCH AND TEST IT OUT!!! ty for your time and reading this.

[@buttsisters]

That happens twice with me luckily it was during the day but I got so traumatised that the idea of loose trucks scares me to the max

[@Feg1989]

Holy shit NEW FEAR UNLOCKED 🔓 😧😰 ....don't know if I should thank you or not for providing me with this knowledge! 😂

[@Feg1989]

Do you know why this happened? Did you loosen too much and it literally just fell off?!?

[@Sofia-dl9lc]

I always have tight trucks I feel like I have more balance on bigger ramps

[@ka-soul]

Ayyyyye I think I am going to try loosening my trucks and see if dancing is easier!

[@misakit.4110]

5 seconds after loosening my trucks I fractured my elbow :)

[@No-hf1xq]

dummy, you should have loosened the skate trucks, not your elbow ones!

[@expensivetaste9825]

After 35 years I am “learning to skate again”. I was a master on the low cut racing boot with wider set wheels and find the tall quad and high boot a whole New world. I think I’ll loosen the trucks and see if that gets me back to my adolescent days of feeling more in control of the wheels. I loosened the wheels some, but I think this may be what gives me what I’m looking for.

[@artistalisonwinfield-burns4455]

Ha Ha haa! I just got my first pair of Moxi's. The Jungles. Thunderstorming tonight in Manhattan so am literally in bed with the skates trying to adjust the super tight trucks : ) I think that I am only making them tighter...!! Should have gotten the Y tool cuz the little claw is harder to use on the main nuts. Works well for the wheels, though. Love the skates.

[@laforestcreations7315]

This video is SO perfectly timed, has the perfect info and so glad you posted it! Got my rainbow riders and knew I wanted the trucks loser but not sure how much!! Thank youuu

[@SensationallySilky]

So Im testing a skate with a softer (suede) boot... they came with hella loose trucks and all of a sudden I need to REALLY use my legs to skate instead of my feet just pushing in the boot, if this makes sense? I'm still not sure I like them so loose, they just came Friday night and my regular rink night isn't until Wednesday.. we shall see!

Tbh I didn’t really understand it

[@stacyj4858]

This video was very helpful. I just wonder why no one (other skilled skaters) tell you that when learning. I’ve been struggling to do turning or bubbles and all along it was the trucks being too tight.

[@songlyon7795]

Ok I like my trucks loose. because I can swirl and curve around by leaning and it seems effortless. I have not tried tight trucks so I am not sure. I just bought Estro’s Bowl bombers in the 57 diameter. I am scard to try them but I will and I am excited too. They are for the rink. And please make more high quality wheels for the rink cause we have to skate inside in the winter here in Cleveland , Ohio. I am 76 and I hope when I die it will be while I am skating!

Hi my names Tim\Taylor and i prefer he\her pronouns but i havent rollerskated yet i aggressive inline but i kinda wanna get into aggressive outline skating

[@es0516]

Didn't realize it was a preference to have front trucks loose and rear ones tight! When my Beach Bunnies get in I'll have to try that, I think I'll prefer loose for both though. I ordered my skates in September & they're still not here yet, trying to be patient 🥺

[@manismajor]

I prefer a tighter truck. I know mine are too loose when I'm all over the place when skating backwards. However I tighten the rear about a click more than the front🤷🏿‍♂️

[@toodleloos]

My friend and I are about to be brand, brand new skaters and i knew nothing about trucks. I've never owned skates and I'm so excited! And she's doing all the research lol she sent me this but I'll be subscribing. The more preparation the better! We're already discussion adjusting trucks now

[@pallafox]

If you skate fast and do sharp turns.. you need tight trucks If you prefer to skate slow and do turns.... you need loose trucks. Tight trucks are mostly preferred for derby and artistic skating. Looser trucks are best for Jam skating.

[@jm85811]

When I first started skating, I learned after watching various videos that having them slightly loose will provide a more fluid skating experience and give you more control of your movements. So I think it’s time to step out of my comfort zone and see what else works!

[@Bria.snyder]

Thank you so much!!! I just got my moxi beach bunny 2 days ago and it’s my first time ever trying roller skating. I thought there was something wrong with me because I couldn’t figure out how to turn. I know how to rollerblade and ice skate as well as snowboard and ski and assumed it would be similar in that you lean with your body but that was not happening at all. Now I know 😂🤦🏽‍♀️

[@andrewenderfrost8161]

Brand new first skates. I couldn’t even turn until I loosened them XD

[@alenastewart9883]

Amazing timing ladies thanks so so much! I recently changed (thanks Evelyn) my cushions to softer ones on my Lolly’s then, loosened my trucks for the first time as mine had always been tight, I too love the stability and total body control instead like Estro. Since the slight change, weaving along and just cruising about outdoors moving around objects, etc has become a whole new skate! I will play around with my trucks a lot more to keep getting a feel of what changes each bolt turn lol.....now that I also know clearly, that I can all actually being about personal preference. I am so happy for this advice ladies you’re all gems! 🌸💕

[@jahcandance]

This is so good to know. It's nice to see everyone's different preferences and as an "old" new skater I don't quite know which is better for me yet. Also I got my skates kind of late and the weather got cold and snowy so I haven't quite had the chance to break them in properly. Thank you for this video!

[@MySwagg93]

Finished my 3rd day of skating today and it's safe to say that I prefer pretty loose trucks, when they were tight i felt like I really had to force my body to be able to turn the skates/turn around, etc. maybe bc i'm still new idk, but also bc i'm small and don't weigh much that looser trucks make it easier for me to turn and feel comfortable manouvering my skates, but as i get more used to skating i will play around to see what i really prefer, but this video was definitely helpful!

Yeah, that was my problem too. I'm 47 years old and started all again after 30 years. So my bubbles are not great this time and i think to that is the truck too.

[@zoegras4787]

I just got skates and before I ice skated a lot and now I keep loosening my truck because with ice skating you have a much wider range of motion since it's just a single blade. Love this!

[@Streetratz]

I like mine loose for skatepark :) I recently did a new build and couldn’t get them as loose as I liked as there wasn’t much room on the king pin. I had a few sessions like with tight trucks and found carving in a bowl so hard! I had to jump instead of carving. In the end I cut my bushings down so I could loosen my trucks and it made me so happy! I think loose trucks also feels better for me when I’m jumping or going on uneven ground to help deal with wobbles. In contrast... I’ve found when I dance I like them much tighter... luckily I have two pairs of skates so I’m not constantly adjusting :)

[@kerokerobonita]

ive been roller skating for 2 years and i never even heard of trucks!! i guess i’ve always just set them in the standard super tight :) helps build those leg muscles!!

The first thing I did when I got skates was loosen the trucks. I didn't even try them tight because I've heard so many people say that skating is easier that way. So I might tighten them back up for a bit. I thought Evelyn's setup was very interesting with it being tighter on the back trucks. Probably will try that too.

Hiya, your Video content is awesome. I enjoyed watching the experiment. I am just getting back into rink skating and am 64 years young. I love dancing and am anxious to see if loosening my trucks will give me the flexibility of movement and rounding corners that I would like. I'll let you know if I find a difference or even have a preference in tight or loose trucks.

I think generally the right is'' slightly '' in the middle, as Evelyn said I prefer a little bit looser in the front trucks , then depends from which kind of skating is about..

As a 245-lb man, I prefer loose trucks.... but I find myself adjusting my trucks often. Skates do have a weight limit, and I'm certain that has something to do with it.

Hi. I just started skating in the rink. Could do bubbles fine and regular skating was ok. I go outside, terrified i couldn't even skate, so i just tried bubles holding to my car 😂😂😂. Didnt even work, so i loosened the trucks and now i love the way the skates respond... But does that mean i have to tighten the trucks again to go to the rink??? I'm confused 🤔 i don't even know if i didn't loosen them too much (but i don't think so cause i just turn the nuts a whole turn and that it)

I’m super loosey goose trucker. It slows me down in a good way when I'm out of control hotdoggin. I tried going tighter once w my brand new skates and I slammed into a wall trying to make a corner

I just got my new rhinestone skates & I just had to test them out . I almost slipped, bruh smh . Thank you for this vid

I think that's why Estro Jen have such toned nice legs because with hers being tightened she have to use her muscles to work her skates rather just letting her skates do the work👍🏾 . I personally like both. Loose for dancing and tightened for skate parks.
