HOW TO BUILD ROLLER SKATES WITH NICK THE MEDIC!!

[@QueerGirlStraightSkates]

If you could make roller skates out of ANY pair of shoes in the world... which would you choose?

[@rebeccamorrison2752]

I would probably make skates out of blendstones. They're an Australian brand of boots.

[@lilie-annecaley8015]

Probably dr martens

[@betsy4556]

My crocs

[@cloudy_st0rm312]

Adidas slides- comfy and cute 😁

[@nunyabusiness59]

Cheetah print vans or cheetah print any sneakee or any tiger striped print sneaker 🐆🐅😍

[@lauralei7322]

I really wish he would have shown his process of marking where the holes need to be drilled, I feel like that’s the hardest part! I know there are different preferences but seeing his process would have been so helpful. Great video though, I’ve been looking for a good mounting video for so long!

[@lindseymills3526]

Laura Becker same!!

[@gabriellejones9119]

Totally agreeee

[@kamibrown8947]

OMG! I absolutely love the pink with the yellow! They are so so pretty!

[@QueerGirlStraightSkates]

I think so too! Thank you so much!

[@blendwithari6114]

I found your channel about a week ago and I love it! I just love the positive energy and vibes you give off. I literally watch everything and anything! Thanks for being awesome and putting out consistent content😊

[@QueerGirlStraightSkates]

Thank you so much!! I'm so glad you're here :)

[@nickkiboo2015]

I love your channel, you and shove are the reason why I just bought a new pair of skates 2 weeks ago. I used always think that I couldn’t learn how to skate because of my size but you guys have taught me that size doesn’t matter. I’m now a week into teaching myself how to skate and I have fallen so much but have also made more progress than I thought I would. I never thought I’d be able to skate, but you showed me that anybody can do it if they want to. Thank you guys so much for inspiring me to start my skating journey!!

[@mignondee]

Shalom. I’m curious of your progress. Are you still skating?

[@rayleenlilley3549]

I’m just super stoked I got to see Nick the medic!!! This was such a cool video he’s done soooo many skates 🤗

[@QueerGirlStraightSkates]

I know!! He's so awesome!

[@kjones2008]

You two answered my top questions on replacing plates. Thank you!

[@QueerGirlStraightSkates]

Glad to help!

[@Kianayouwanna]

Nick is so awesome! I loved getting to see the BTS on this! Thank you Rebel! 💗

[@QueerGirlStraightSkates]

right? He's bomb.com

[@megabusiness1018]

🔥🔥🔥🔥That boots fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@jaylaanderson9702]

You are working OVERTIME!!! YOU BETTA

[@leighaherrera798]

Thank you for all of this info! Do you kno where I can find the sure grip tool nick used to cut the bolts on the plates?

[@christinecorpse]

Thank you so much for this informative video!

[@QueerGirlStraightSkates]

You are so welcome!

[@Kymn_Marie]

This video was super helpful! Thank you!

[@QueerGirlStraightSkates]

I'm so glad!

[@HelenaMawie]

Nice video!!! I think it's the arius platinum plate and I'm accordingly jealous. 😂

[@ellaharrison683]

what boots are you mounting? they look so cool and im currently looking for a new setup and they look like exactly what i want!!

[@BucketCharlie]

What about the tacks in a moxi heel? Can that pose an issue? I had the opportunity to have Nick the Medic mount my plates but declined because I'm stubborn and want to do it myself to learn lol. Also, I can't find one of those bolt "cutting" rods. I can see if I can find something else, though.

[@Shehasasmile]

I'd love an arius plate review. They're so unique

[@raquelbopp6669]

They are beautiful💕💕

[@QueerGirlStraightSkates]

Right??? I loveeee them

[@raquelbopp6669]

Queer Girl Straight Skates yes!!!💕💕💕

[@nellfahey8888]

I deadass just got my first pair of skates like 3 days ago and I’m already planning every pair of shoe I want to turn into skates...😬🤭😂 (I want to mount trucks on my old basketball shoes and then play baSKATEball)

[@QueerGirlStraightSkates]

yesssss omg that sounds amazing!

[@fresita1083]

Just found your channel!! Love your skates. Where can I get that gorgeous boot ?

[@galakari]

Wow! Nice skates! Really cute! And do you know who else was cute... ;-) Nick the Medic!!!! lol Stay safe! Love and light from Norway!

[@caitpfeiffer7849]

Yes! The video I've been waiting for! Do you recommend something like a boot marking tool in order to get the hole positions figured out?

[@QueerGirlStraightSkates]

Yes, absolutely!

[@emydontigny697]

So i have my I have my old skayes from my ice skating days, can I use these boots has my new roller's boots?

[@josuearana8756]

I have a question for example if bougth a boot size 8 US. Is necessary to Buy a trucks of the same size for example 8 US or I can Buy a 7 size I saw a trucks that I love but there only have a 7 size. I hope You can answer me. Regards

[@yellowlarch11]

Would you do a review video of what you think of your new Antik AR2 skates now that they're done? :)

[@Gairuntee]

Very cool. You should consider a drill press. That way you'd never have to worry about the drill migrating when you drill through a tall heel.

[@tiffanypena4294]

can you do a review of the sure-grip boardwalk outdoor skates? I love your videos! ❤️

[@blondezt]

In the hopefully near future when I travel back to California and buy my AR2's, I'd want to mount them myself, or at least watch and be involved in the process, with Nick. He seems like the kinda guy that might appreciate my endless love for skate maintenance and ongoing rants about it. :')

[@QueerGirlStraightSkates]

I would definitely agree with that sentiment!

[@jabo7908]

Do you have an idea what the tool you’re using to cut the bolts is called?

[@Sonii22ii]

Thank you Nick!

[@rosew5759]

How timely! I broke my Moxi Leopard boots yesterday and was wondering about mounting a pair of Vans to the plate! Might be a good iso activity for me to work on!

[@Joy35]

how did you break them? i just bought a pair

[@rosew5759]

@@Joy35 They're a great skate I definitely recommend them! I have the older model (they've since updated them) and I got them second hand two years ago so it's just use and them being old that lead to the break! The boot slowly started to break down (synthetic materials) and there started to be a tear in the side and it finally gave out and my foot went all the way through the side. I've absolutely thrashed them and they're easily like 4-5 years old so it's just time for a new pair :) They're so good though I loved the support and they were my first pair of skates for street and ramp skating

[@QueerGirlStraightSkates]

Yes! How fun!

[@Joy35]

@@QueerGirlStraightSkates I LOVE YOU AND THESE VIDEOS

[@VeeBee81]

Is there another way to secure the boot rather than holding it?

[@itsallgood7878]

nicks the best

[@QueerGirlStraightSkates]

Could not agree more!

[@bluedahlia_1454]

What was that magical device he used to cut the bolts???

[@JanethOlivia]

Patiently waiting for the PRS shop to open to get new plates mounted 🤞🏽

[@QueerGirlStraightSkates]

You and me both!

[@dericflairmultiverse4952]

where did he get that tool to take off the bolts?

[@jessicacentral4688]

Can you use a old 1950 plat of the boot.

[@hadleymanmusic]

Im still deciding on a shoe or boot to get.

[@MegSluyterLipGlossandLumber]

What kind of plates did he say these are? I’m looking to buy some good quality new ones and have no idea what is best. Maybe you could do a video about plates for us 🙏🏻 pretty please 😊🖤🛼

[@quitegoodandawesome5964]

I thought he said ‘aries plate’ and when I searched for it, I think it might be ‘arius.’ It’s an expensive plate! www.roller.riedellskates.com/Catalog/PowerDyne-Plates/Frame-ARPT

[@josephnelson9783]

What truck was used?

[@elizabethorellana817]

Where do I find a Snyder??? I need one to break my bolts off😓

[@capinvenus]

www.inlinewarehouse.com/Snyder_Bolt_Break-Off_Tool/descpage-SBBOT.html

[@ViragoCafecom]

If he does this a lot he should build a jig that sits on the table and allows you to fit the shoe on to it upside down. It would hold the shoe flat and keep the drill bit from going in to far or damaging the shoe like he mentioned could be an issue. It would also allow you to set the shoe upside down on a drill press so you could guarantee to drill all holes perpendicular to the sole.

[@aquaopa1]

Hey Pigeon! 0:19

[@beautyandthelilbeast6897]

What kind of boot is this?

[@nanacachetez]

what plates are those?

[@MauGino]

I'm curious to know where I can purchase the tool Nick used to break the bolts? I looked on PowerSlide's webpage but I couldn't find it. Any info on the specific name of the tool or where to find it?

[@capinvenus]

couldn’t find the sure grip one but i found this! www.inlinewarehouse.com/Snyder_Bolt_Break-Off_Tool/descpage-SBBOT.html

[@MauGino]

@@capinvenus Thank you so much for the link! I found it on another page, when Rebel was saying Sure Grip, I kept thinking Powerslide. I kept typing PowerSlide for days until I think a week later when I rewatched the video it finally clicked Sure Grip , not PowerSlide.

[@capinvenus]

Gino Sin did you find it on suregrip? i could not find it to save my life

[@MauGino]

@@capinvenus No, I couldn't find it on the Sure Grip page. Funnily enough, the link you sent to me was the same one I found. I had to go through my bookmarks to see what I saved, and it was the same one you sent to me.

[@rollerscab]

I wish Nick showed how he lined up and marked where he put the holes of the plate ) :

[@crzyinzan3]

It would have been nice to see an example of plate placement instead of just an explanation.

[@sebsuch]

I would like to see how to fix with heels. thanks though.

[@its26ev]

I know you made this video *yearssss* ago, before quarantine, so I hope you'll still see this comment. I'm curious, what type of wheels you chose for your derby set up? Thank you ^.^

[@charlessmith6546]

Some time they put flat plates n side whey

[@evelinruby4453]

Can someone pleeease tell me where I can find that tool he used to cut the bolts?!😭 i can’t find it anywhere

[@davewilson3584]

Removing mounting bolts is a nightmare old school they don't want you to reuse your plates or boots it upsets me I Mount my own for that reason

[@MystiqueRisingSun]

He said "so many pieces"...I actually had to count. LOL For a typical skate, there are 132 parts - give or take a couple depending on the style - PER SKATE! :)

[@QueerGirlStraightSkates]

yesss! I will definitely text him and let him know!

[@MystiqueRisingSun]

@@QueerGirlStraightSkates Well...like I said...give or take a few....high top boots usually have a few more (up to 180), but speed/derby about 132...per skate...tennis shoes, even a few less (maybe around 100-115?)...but, yeah....there ARE a lot of little pieces! :) Yes...yes...I am a skate nerd...what makes you ask? LMAO

❤️😊

[@christopherconkright1317]

That bolt tool is 25$ now

[@quelquun2018]

She didn't skate in them😩😩😩

[@QueerGirlStraightSkates]

The worst part is, the day after this I was supposed to take them to derby practice and I was going to do a whole video then, buuuuutt then quarantine happened. *cries in roller skate*

[@paqrikaX]

3 years later, and the bolt breakoff tool is anywhere from $16-47 💀

[@colincoakes3131]

so you leave out the most important part. How to actually find the correct location for the plate. Watching this you would really NOT know how to mount your skates at the end.
