"life is so much better on roller skates" I have to agree totally with her, just went on my first ramp yesterday, felt like dropping in on a wave, surfing!

[@sludgebob5961]

Life is better whilst surfing

[@sierrafly9242]

When I skated in the airport the security guards and people didn't seem to mind. I even asked on of the employees for directions ( I skated from my apartment to the airport and was trying to find the right terminal to enter in from) and he was cool about it, but he was concerned cause I would need to go up the escalator and I was like oh! don't worry about it and followed his directions and I think it made his day watching me step up the escalator haha.

Where is Indy Jamma Jones in this interview ?

If Casey can skateboard through an airport why can't she roller skate

I know this comment is super old but those two are very different, the center of balance is probably in a different place. But I'm not a professional lol.

Me too😍

[@priv-5930]

Then go for it! just pick up some skates and you can learn if you want to!

[@vickikennedy139]

yes I remember when I was around 20yrs skating and it was fun I wish there were parks for older people to have a go but they seem to only let younger people now and I would like a place for oldies too

[@kami5445]

Pigeon had a baby #Maple is so cute!!

[@cjpreach]

My parents used to Waltz on roller skates in the 1940's & 1950's. They and (most of) their 10 kids all skated, too. I am looking for some good outdoor skates so I can take advantage of a 30 mile long paved trail near our home. FUN!

[@kaarinapolly2293]

1:02 I can either skate or skateboard but both is impossible for me.😂

[@themockingjay1090]

You should totally learn!!!

[@gachastudioversecrystal7456]

I roller skate alot now but these girls are my idols

[@idontneednodoctor01]

So happy for you girls!!!

[@madcatrsk8]

love this girls!! And i love rollerskating!

[@ladylamb1328]

Ugh! Roller skating has always thrived & been alive among the African-American community. LOVE me some MOXI but I wish people would stop saying that it was dead & is getting revived.

[@PikaSkix]

Why can't you roller skate on an airport? I mean it's the perfect place for quads

[@MermaidSa91]

Probably because it can be a liability safety issue

[@FreshAirRules]

One word: Liquid. Liquid on a smooth floor is lethal. Also it can be hard to see. Now think of the liability problems.

[@daphnehoffman4511]

I've realized that I'm pretty naturally talented at roller skating and love it so much! I definitely have to say that the Moxi Girls are a great inspiration. I want roller skates so bad, but cannot afford them. :( :P

[@erajazz2134]

So you are naturally talented at roller skating but have no roller skates? Interesting. Very interesting.

[@aishazoom2557]

well if you go roller skating at the INDOOR ROLLER RINKS AND RENT OUTSKATES well yea

[@laniedewitte9199]

You can get cute and pretty nice roller skates at thrift stores for about $10!

[@davidjohn5770]

Sam Niko they have an online shop, and just opened one in Venice Beach. There Is one on 4th Street in long Beach too

[@ooflu3983]

The skates are pretty expensive, so you better have some good money

[@Newzchspy]

kitkatpepper 'n' ettolrahc Lu you get what you pay for. The ones online that are not correctly fitted or at Walmart won't cut it.

[@benjacoolen]

Its online, or if ur close to venice beach that where it is

[@jaimereis285]

Hello good morning, I really enjoyed watching you train in that car park where I had the opportunity to see Dirtydeborah also suggesting advice for training.

[@LeanA_jiji]

LOVE YOU MOXI SKATE TEAM!!!!!!!!

[@joshhuey1730]

I blade it up everyday. Shout out to the chicks an cali. Getting doun. Keep it up

[@svenlima]

Most people don't know that inline skates are much older than rollerskates: Inline skates were invented 1760 by Josef Merlin (Belgium). Rollerskates were invented 1863 by John Plimpton (USA). Meaning: real old school are inline skates.

[@Newzchspy]

Sven Lima and no one cares!! Quads rule!!

[@candy3020]

That used to be my life please bring it back

[@pinkbananakids4874]

Don't worry it's slowly coming back me and my Freinds skate to school and meet up on our skates all the time (we are 13-14 years old)

[@kaykay1kc]

we went skating for new years eve and couldnt even get on the floor it was so packed full of people and speed skating young people. i was too nervous to get in that rink so we just skated around on the carpet. it was wonderful to see so many skilled people enjoying skating.

[@alejandroguzman842]

I love MOXI I WISH I WAS IN THERE TEAMMMM

Inline skates aren't the enemy, cars are

Amo muito elas e suas explicações❤brazil ama vcs

[@Devaskation]

Skate life or hate life

[@FreshAirRules]

Is no one going to talk about the pros and cons of roller vs inline skating? It should have been the focus of the story. Inline skating is what we're used to though it has been dying slowly over the years. Ironic as the equipment is just improving every year.

[@JTtheSG]

Totally RAD!!!

[@calebisnottalented]

I’m not even joking I’m roller skating outside while I’m watching this video

[@weasleygurl26]

Has anyone noticed that up until 2019/2020 the Moxi team has comprised mainly of skinny white girls? It wasn't until Estro was called out that she started including POC and girls with different body shapes other than skinny. I realise Pigeon has been on the team for quite a while, but that's as "chunky" as they got and Pigeon honestly isn't that chunky. Not a slam on Moxi at all, I love the brand. I Just think it's funny how the team wasn't as diverse before the "scandal" as it is now.

[@FreshAirRules]

Maybe some of the chunkier girls lost some weight skating?

[@weasleygurl26]

@@FreshAirRules No. Even Rebel (QueerGirlStraightSkates) and Shove (FatGirlHasMoxi), although quite popular within the skating community were not included in the "Moxi team" until last year when Shove started working with them. I've watched LOADS of Moxi videos and have been noticing a very distinct pattern. Just seems sus to me, that's all.

[@Medyobabae]

3 years later and now they’re sold out EVERYWHERE :) They really did it ... and yes I’m dying for a pair still
