Thank you for this video! I just tried skating outside for the first time and it was a nightmare. I got myself in an unexpected hill and I thought the only way to go downhill was backwards but there was no way I was trying that. I just went forward, gained a lot of speed, got desperate because there were cars passing at the end of the hill and then fell big time haha Had to crawl the rest of the way like a fool.

Skating outside is like a punch in the gut after skating indoors LOL. Question for @skatie - my skates have 85A wheels, which were described as hybrid and fine for outside, but I can definitely feel every slight variation in the surface - making me very wobbly - and pebbles take me down. Basically, I feel like I can't skate at all 😞 In your experience, could I get used to 85A outside relatively (I know it will vary by person, but just on average) quickly, or would a gummier wheel be better when outside since I'm still a beginner?
@Skatie Жыл бұрын
I roll on a 84a outside but not all wheels are created equal. My 84a’s are big, 65mm (Roll-Line Helium) the size helps to absorb the vibration and bump over debris. If you’re rolling a small wheel 57mm for example you’ll lose a lot of that shock absorbing power.

I am having a hard time getting past the fear of skating on a really rough outdoor surface. I have 78a's, but when I tried to skate on rough concrete, I felt like I was going to fall. I found a smoother concrete space, but it's very narrow. So all I can really do is skate forward. I haven't advanced to backwards skating yet. But I noticed today that the 78a's seemed to want to catch a bit on that smoother concrete. So I plan on trying some 82a's tomorrow. Does that sound like it may help? Or should I stick with the 78's?
@Skatie Жыл бұрын
It could be the size of wheel that will make more of a difference. For outside a big wheels 60-65mm will help to roller over those rougher surfaces.

@Skatie Жыл бұрын
If the surface is old it might just be quite rough. Perhaps a softer wheel might help 78a but it could be that it’s maybe just too bumpy as going to a 78 won’t make that much difference. If the wheel is small that can make a difference too, bigger wheels can cope with the lumps and bumps better 60-65mm

You are showing a stagger stance with your skates TOUCHING, which is going to lead to bad habits with new skaters. This is dangerous in the case that you hit a rock or crack, BOTH of your feet will land your face down on the ground. Also, don't skate outdoors without safety gear, no matter your experience level. Two experienced skaters already died this year from head injuries.

Thank you for your feedback. I’ve rewatched the clip and I can see how this could be incorrectly interpreted.

I’ve removed that part of the video. Thank you, I always appreciated feedback. And yes, Sorry *hangs head in shame*. I totally agree. I should wear my helmet as an example.
