Roller Skating in Times Square During Quarantine

[@LunaDogJones]

The anxiety levels were off the charts during this one, I could never skate through all those people omg

I absolutely love it when you skate and have a good time with your friends! the roller skating community is such a good one!

[@mamma67]

I'm interested in knowing if people tend to get annoyed with you when out skating, cutting it close to people and cars. Just a funny thing as well, even if you just post it on instagram, I am also interested in a "what I eat" kind of video / posts. You seem so healthy so it's just interesting to know :)

[@breea2009]

Heyyyy! I skate with a skate group every Weds night here in NYC. We meet at Union Square and roll out 30+ people deep. It really helps to roll out in a group because we are way more visible to cars/bikes/pedestrians. To be honest, most people and cars don’t mind so long as you’re in the bike lane and/or being respectful. It’s a great time! And honestly there’s nothing like skating 8-14miles through Manhattan at night every week! Take care! :)

[@weasleygurl26]

I got myself a cheap “skate mate” (umbrella stroller.) and am now starting to get my skate legs so to speak. SO excited to finally be making progress! The first time I went down my street and back I was so excited I was telling myself “Yes! I’m Indy! I can skate! I’m doing it!” 😂 I’m SO glad you’re back and showing us around your new city. I hope you love it there! ❤️❤️🤟

[@kenleakrisbell09]

That's great that you are starting in safe way that makes you feel comfortable, never would have thought about an umbrella stoller as a skate mate

[@Mtz2604]

Haha that's genius! Glad you made some progress. Keep rolling!

LoL that's so clever!! Since I'm already awkward on my own, I'd take my plushies on that stroller 😂

[@morenabonita8834]

I cannot wait til I gain the confidence to skate in such a crowded place. How do you skate without having to look down for rocks , cracks and debris? It looks like you skate without ever looking down. Lol but ummmm what’s up with Marcus though? Hayyyyyy Marcussss 👀 lol 😂

[@MiauMichigan]

Same!!! I only skate on empty streets and I look down constantly to avoid obstacles, even tiny pebbles

[@scorpnz4433]

You do it by looking ahead. You can get an idea by walking & looking ahead around say 15ft or more, usually more. Small stones,debris & cracks are easy to spot, peripheral vision & spacial awareness takes care of people. As for not tripping on stones while at speed the trick there is pressure on which leg is on the ground & leading. This is done by directing your body weight to that leg & channeling it to your foot. I'm talking the odd stone here & there not a whole bunch in a clump lol. Bigger stones can be an issue, again it's about being ready & to know what's ahead or being ready to place the other leg down if you hit & trip. It's best to use knee pads,elbow & always use wrist guards. Edit what i mean by channeling is your sured footedness pushes the stone out of the way

[@e_lena9656]

@@MiauMichigan you shouldn't look directly under your feet but on the road ahead (just like when riding a bike or a scooter) Honestly, I hate navigating through the crowd even when I'm in my regular boots so I doubt I would be happy skating in the crowd like that..

[@morenabonita8834]

@@scorpnz4433 I am well aware of everything you wrote here. My questions are specific to HER, how SHE navigated in THIS particular video, in THAT location. A perspective only she can provide. I’m picking her brain. 👍🏽

[@smiletoda4448]

I think it'd be kinda like driving a car? Ofc only Indy can answer w/ her own thoughts, but if I were to GUESS that's what I would compare it to? Like, when you're driving you look far ahead and only briefly check your sideview mirrors every now and then? I think it's like that. Where when you skate you look ahead, while being spacially aware? IDK

[@wintersnow3959]

As graceful as you always are on skates I am shocked that you fell! And it looks like you fell in the road too! Be safe out there.

[@Mtz2604]

Hey Indy! The pic of your friend in such a "success" pose and you at the background like "gonna help me or what?" Is so funny. The ones at the metro were also cool. Is nice to see you skating and just letting yourself free. I've been trying to skate and my weather is cancelling my skate sessions. I try to find a little space without rain and putting my skates and at the second skate starts raining again... Raining season at the tropic 🙄

[@peterlustig8021]

I was out a couple days ago and the rain hit me while I still had 20min to the car... And it was quite a lot. I spent the rest of the day taking the skates apart and cleaning em as well as hanging up my clothes which took three days to dry

[@Mtz2604]

@@peterlustig8021 oh gosh that sounds awful. I was thinking on letting the rain stop a little and try to skate on the wet asphalt but your experience is telling me that it isn't s clever idea. In addition, I don't want my skates to get all soaked. Did you have to lubricate everything and take all pieces out to allow the boots to dry?

[@gregoryreese7686]

I use to skate thru Times square before it became a mall.The crowd in your video was small compared to precovid. I growing up in NYC I avoided that area. Fifth ave. and ninth ave were my route. Coming from the park it was down hill. Skating in Times square for me was like walking the streets in my pajamas. I know for a lot of skaters that might sound strange but 😁that's just me.

[@mooshroom5120]

bro i really miss how energetic and skippy and bubbly u are, it must've been hard getting a beating that u did and losing motivation from it, skating really is ur happiest outlet and i'd love to see u get back into ur optimistic and exciting self, ur vibes are all sorts of fun to see and ur excitement is completely contagious and im glad ur taking this time getting back to skipping that lovely beat u have. i'm sure u'll see nothing but greatness as u continue ur journey back to skating.

Go ahead baby girl😘 fuck the haters,you legit did NOTHING WRONG❤️❤️❤️

[@magnolia2]

@@takeiteasy_1012 Okay don’t do that. I think it’s fantastic how resilient she is, righting her wrongs, shinning the light promoting and talking about the history of black skaters, but as a black woman you’re so disrespectful with your comment. She was wrong, she apologized, and now her actions are showing her growth. But don’t do that. Calling those affected “haters” and saying she did nothing wrong just shows what is wrong in the world and why most people cannot tolerate constructive criticism and refuse to change and grow. So clearly you have some growing to do yourself so don’t bring her down to your mess because she is flourishing and I am proud of her!♥️♥️♥️

[@takeiteasy_1012]

@@magnolia2 no offense meant, my sincere apologies that you feel that way. However, IMO she has a roller skate channel, she wasn’t seeking anything but roller skate content. Makes sense.

Not okay to do to ANYBODY ❤️❤️❤️ I am growing and I have an open heart and open mind. May God Bless you on your journey as well 🌞

So I was a huge roller skater in the 70s and 80s (did a bit through the 90s too). My daughter was so excited and interested in skating so I just got her some Roller Derby skates in her size and she is thrilled- hasn't taken them off in the last three days since she got them. I am so excited for her. I have been searching online the last few days because seeing how much she is into it I want to skate with her. There is nothing available until spring 2021!! Holy shit I have to wait that long. I've looked at all the shops and manufacturers. Duuuuuude, do y'all really think it's going to be six months to find skates? I see some waiting list options but it looks like they want the 200-300-600 dollars up front? Sorry I just needed to get this complaint off my chest
