Sooo glad to see roller skates back!! Hated those dam inline skates!! I had speed skates by rydell, made in the 70's & 80's!! Best time to be a skater was in the late 70's & 80's. Kids are still doing tje shuffle & freestyle skating!! We har the best music too!! Roll, Skate, Bounce. I'm ready, holly dolly!! Best songs to shuffle & free style skate to

[@Zai-w4o]

I wish I was a teenager in the 80s it sounds like so much more fun

[@truthwarrior7934]

@@Zai-w4o it was!! No CARES in the world. Technology has ruined our world. Life was much simpler back then. Here is a song we use to free style skate to. This video is showing a group of ppl. from a few yrs back & jamming to a 1979 song called, Roll, skate, bounce. This is the type of skating we did in the 80's & kids today are still skating the same way. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y4Gmpoyej9-fhNE

[@kavami11jams30]

@@Zai-w4o it was. Take it from me.. I was an early teen in the mid 80s. Roller rinks were really in mode back then and everyone showed up on Friday night to dance and "get down". It was the best place to meet boys and the music was always the latest funk and groove. I had the entire get up: light up wheels,, shoe covers and pom poms on my skates. I was sooo cool. Lol. Oh, to go back to those days! Such a simpler time!

[@ratzzi7301]

Thank you, very helpful. I didn’t know there was so much to skates

[@MystiqueRisingSun]

This is barely scratching the surface. SO much more could be said, but it would have to be a 3 or 4 hour video to include everything. These are the basics to help get you started (and not all of it is necessarily good advice, either). The biggest thing is to start with a quality skate (at least $80 U.S.), then you can upgrade as your skills and confidence increase.

[@silvereagle1960]

I still have my old Roller Derby skates, with zinger wheels!

[@SkatePro]

🔥🔥🔥

[@abyz9774]

Which skates should I buy if I just want to skate backwards and dance on the roller rink?

[@MystiqueRisingSun]

The Roller Derby Cruze skates or Roller Derby Candi Girl (indoor) skates..any skate from either of the those lines that have a metal plate and the smaller, harder, indoor wheels if you're on a budget. If price isn't TOO much of an issue, I'd honestly go for the Moxi Beach Bunny (a wheel change will be necessary) or anything in Sure-Grip's artistic skate line. If you want a skate that's REALLY going to last, and price isn't an issue at all, get a Moxi Lolly...though they come with nylon plates, those plates are pretty much indestructible.

[@l.a.k]

Rookie and Tempish have good and affordable beginner artistic skates. I wouldn’t go for the Beach Bunny for dance skating, simply because of how far apart the wheels are on the plate. They’re great for cruising and park skating, not so much for dance. The Sure Grip Fame is also good for dance skating. If you want to splash out, go for a Moxi Lolly, or if you want to splash out even more, look into Riedell.

[@l.a.k]

Oh, also, if you want to skate backwards, a heel is recommended. It makes balancing easier, and therefore you can get more speed when you go backwards.

[@essennagerry]

@@l.a.k Hey, I am yet to start roller skating but I feel like I would feel more comfortable with roller skates that aren't so far away from the ground and with a very slight or no heel. Speed is not important to me, just generally dancing and skating backwards but to do it with high speed is not important to me. I found the Story Duster Side by Side online and like how compact they look, it looks like it would be very comfortable to move with them. Do you think this is a bad idea for a beginner?

[@lmao2188]

Ezciit i’m not sure if they’re available in your area but i hope they are so i can help! on target and walmart’s website, they have “Chicago Skates Ladies Bullet Speed Skates” and they’re around 60 dollars. i want a pair of vnla skates but i have just started skating and i want to get good so i don’t mess them up as quick.

[@MystiqueRisingSun]

Because a cheap skate isn't good and a good skate isn't cheap! Roller skates are one of the things you truly get what you pay for. Skates that cost less than $80 or so (U.S. dollars) are crap! Never, EVER, get Chicago skates. If you can find a pair online that is on sale (my youngest daughter just got some for the holidays, normally $90 skates, found on Amazon for $64)...jump on that deal ASAP! Cheap skates are just that...cheap! Inexpensive skates ($80 to $150) can last with proper maintenance and you can always upgrade them later as you gain confidence.

[@SkatePro]

Hi there! Are you thinking about Roller skates or perhaps some 3-wheels setup inline skates?

[@jubileehoney3269]

SkatePro I'm just beginning so I'm not entirely sure 😌

[@anak732]

Jubilee Honey I begun on inline skates and i was fine. It's really easy to balance if your foot is tightly fastened to the skate.

[@sparrowblue7821]

Invest in some good outdoor wheels. Makes long distance trips a lot easier to bare.

Once you get comfortable on your skates, try Road Hog wheels. They're great for long distances.

[@timicicak]

What's the difference between a quad skate with heels and one without, If both are soft boots. I read somewhere that the boots without heels are more faster than the one with heels, bit i am curious if that's the only difference. Thank you for reading my long comment.

[@theprismaticsystem2833]

With heel you get more forward lean (promotes putting your weight balance over the balls of your feet) but higher center of gravity so it's really dependent on what you want to do which is better and even then it's mostly preference.

What do you think of Impala roller skates? Was thinking of buying a pair. I havent had much experience on roller skates; I just want a pair for fun, and skating around the neighborhood/and around the home. 😊

[@suzybearheart530]

I just bought a pair of Impala hard boots. I'm 38 years old and haven't roller skated since I was 15. I can tell they are really high quality but they're a little hard for me to control - probably because I only ever skated in a really cheap ratty pair. It's gonna take getting used to - or I just might switch to a softer wheel in hopes I get better traction.

what kind of wheels should I used for a beginner.

[@cthulhudreams]

Softer wheels are probably better

[@nyomesapp-collazo9696]

There's personal preference and where u'll b skating. Outdoors u will prolly want a softer wheel 2 absorb the shock of all the potential hazards, sticks and pebbles. Indoors rink skating might b more enjoyable with some harder wheels.

[@ratattabiatch6511]

I have orderd a roller skate from skate pro and im really happy with them but im wondering if it is ok to skate with soft weels on streets

[@cthulhudreams]

soft wheels are meant for outdoor use

[@cassandravance7047]

From what I understand, soft wheels are best for streets because the streets aren't going to be smooth, so soft wheels will absorb the shock from debri and keep you (to a greater extent than hard) from stumbling on it

[@codymarijuonko5608]

Are you able to bake them to the mold of your feet like ice skates. When i played ice hockey we had a oven type thingy for skates. It would heat the molding up inside. Then you put them on while they are still warm and it forms to yor foot exactly. We never even wear socks after we bakes our skates.

[@vicentelucero154]

Where to order/buy im in canada

[@xThomas1995]

hello, i want to start rollerskating so what do you reccomand to buy for beginners?

[@MystiqueRisingSun]

Just saw this. Sorry the reply is so late. If you haven't gotten any yet, I highly recommend any Sure-Grip, Candi Girl, or Moxi skates. Stay far, FAR away from Chicago. Also be sure the skates have proper wheels for whatever surface you plan to skate on: 96A up to 103A, wood, clay, or fiberglass for coated indoor wood rinks. 90A to 96A for coated indoor rinks (sport court, etc.) 85A to 93A for smooth, polished indoor concrete or wood rinks, dirty coated wood rinks, smooth outdoor surfaces such as parking lots, basketball or tennis courts, as well as skate parks. 70A to 85A for asphalt, "bumpy" outdoor surfaces, or anywhere you skate that has a lot of debris (small twigs, gravel, tiny pebbles, sand, leaves, slightly uneven sidewalks, etc.).

[@skizzik121]

Suuuuuuuper late reply but the Reidell 111s are a great skate all around for beginners as they will offer a skate that works through the intermediate range as well. You may want to drop a couple hundred bucks later on for wheels and bearings but that's a later thing

You should go for a wheel with a big diameter as possible and a softer hardness. Could be like these: www.skatepro.com/54-17490.htm or these www.skatepro.com/54-613.htm

You forgot the most obvious when choosing a skate or boot & that is that there are 2 types of boot; 1) is the dance skate boot. 2). the other is a speed skate boot. Wheels & size are also important as well!! The wheels with a smaller width are 4 your dance skating & the wheels with the wider width are 4 speed skating.

[@piggypigster3278]

I bought the Roces Ollie Quad skates to skate outdoors, but I feel they're not rolling so well. The wheels are quite hard, is it possible that I need softer wheels to skate in the streets. And if so, can I change the wheels of my Roces Ollie skates?

[@SkatePro]

Hi -the skates comes with 85A wheels, which are some quiet hard wheels for outdoor skating. You could benefit by changing the wheels for softer ones. :)

[@hannatolnai4464]

The soft or the hard wheels are better for danceing??

[@SkatePro]

It depends on the surface your dancing on. If you want to be able to have a bit of sliding to your dance routine you might want a harder wheel. Usually people prefer small wheels with a low wheel diameter for dancing. The smaller wheels doesn't roll as fast, and that makes the control of the skate a bit easier and more fun when you want to spin and do fancy moves. :)

[@alessialicata300]

Exactly! Your toes SHOULD touch....however, they should not feel "cramped". If the knuckles on your toes feel "scrunched" (you literally have to bend your toes to make the skates fit), then, yes, they are too small. Otherwise, they're fine!
