Slide Blocks on Roller Skates , do you need them ?

[@philrodgers3500]

I'm always frustrated with "beginner drop-in tutorials" and they have blocks of some kind on their setup, then on the other hand they're like: "you don't need blocks to drop in" I'm like well b*tch f*ck*ng show us then!? I'm sure it doesn't come to mind but it pisses me off. That's why I really enjoyed seeing this video bc it shows both methods. Also the (unintentional) shade at the end had me like: oop. love to see it. As someone who's a bigger male skater with big ass man feet you don't really see bigger tall people skating in media hence why I thought buying blocks would make it easier (which in reality actually makes it harder high key). Really enjoy your videos and I love watching you skate! 💅💅

I never was confident enough to drop in without blocks. I was already terrified WITH them... however I do believe it would be nice to not have all that extra weight on the skates!

Hope your pupper gets better. I definitely know how it is to care for a sick pet/loved one. I wish the best for her and you! You inspired me to start skating. You are awesome AF and love your content! I've been looking up slide blocks and people say you need them if you want to slide, that's one reason I want to get some. Maybe a future video of your fave block and least liked block. Also hard to find info with people small feet/size 4 boot and what slide blocks are compatible.

Thank you ! Well you’re definitely in the right channel! Cuz I’m also a size 4 ! Definitely need the blocks to do all the coool slide tricks but you can still learn so much with out them 🫶🏽✨

[@zewdae8847]

thank you for sharing karen!! i really want to start park skating but ive been stalling bc i dont have slide blocks or indoor wheels yet (i still only have my hybrid wheels) but now i think i'll try some park skating without slide blocks :))🌷

[@birdisthewordsc]

Looks so fun, thank you for sharing! This video was really helpful. I skate at green park and I’m so scared of dropping in and getting on the coping. Do you mind telling me what skatepark that is?

[@SensationallySilky]

This is tight! Yall make that ish look easy. I could NEVER lol

[@KarentheKarrot]

It takes a lot of falls and practice to make it look easy lol ! Have you tried ramp skating ?

[@SensationallySilky]

@@KarentheKarrot not yet... the weather is just getting nice enough for me to be outside so if I grow a pair maybe I'll try this spring/summer

[@watchmer0t364]

Do you need slide blocks to grind rails and ledges? Or is it possible without as well?

[@crescentbear6547]

Hi Karen! Been loving watching your channel 🥕🧡 May I ask what size you got in the 187 Killer pads? All the best to you and your sweet pupper, hope she is well!

[@steveoaughh]

What skatepark is this? In also from socal and can’t find any with good Ramps 😭

[@ajthefunkmonster4767]

RB Team wheels are bomb AF!

[@jeremyhaliski1104]

I was in a hurry at competition and loosely tied myskates. The elements are much harder. So make sure you actually tie ten them. By the way what's wrong with puppy?

[@cheyennearchambeault6309]

I feel like that grab from the skate would def add some sort of stability Rather than a block forcing you to slide back

[@KarentheKarrot]

Exactly! Do you have blocks on your skates ?

[@cheyennearchambeault6309]

@@KarentheKarrot nope.

[@NoflikOfficial]

First of all, girl you are stunning! Just started rollerskating as the only guy in the area but really enjoying it. Can't wait to the tricks y'all do

[@laylacooze-burgess941]

Would this work with heeled skates and no block?

[@sandb1867]

Make-up is INTENSE! LOL!
