When Taking A Break Is Good - Leaving Space In Your Roller Skating

Hi Skaters, taking some thinking or breathing space in your flow can be a really good thing.
It gives you time to plan your next move and also catch your breath.
Have fun

Thanks for posting this, looks like fun to try.

I use it a lot to give me a bit of thinking space or to work with the music.

Hello Skatie the legend. I am currently trying to learn to skate, and your vids are all I watch, I adore your tutorials. I bought my first pair, I bough Chaya Rubies. They are kinda roller derbish, and have this wide quick wheels. I found that it's hard for me to learn turning or braking in them, though they are fast which is nice :). Can you tell me - would changing wheels on those skates be enough for me to have easier time learning? Or should I return them and buy something else completely?

[@Skatie]

Hi. It sounds like the wheels could be a little wide. It’s harder to maneuver the wider derby wheels. You may find something narrower much easier.

[@angelhoegarden]

What socks do you recommend for roller skates? Wooll socks maybe? I read that cotton socks tent to absorb sweat and stay wet. I just purchased my first pair, Chaya melrose deluxe turquoise.

[@Skatie]

The most important thing is to dry the skates out fully after skating. I use boot bananas 🍌 in my skates. I skate bare foot so these keep my skates fresh and smelling 🌸 Edea do sell skate socks if you’re looking for a sock option too.

i live in a place where i cant go outside very often because it rains a lot. i want to try and skate in my house. What are good indoor wheels to buy to practice the things you are doing here ? i have wood floors

[@Skatie]

It very much depends on the floor if they have a coating etc. what wheels do you currently roll. I’d give those a try first to give you a bench mark to go from.

I'll have to give this a try. Mainly because I have taken a literal break from skating. I keep wanting to get back at it, but I've been away from it for nearly 3 months, and feel like I'm starting from scratch. Maybe this will help me feel comfortable in my skates again. Thank you for the video! 🥰💖🛼🛼

3 months is nothing, I took a break for nearly 30 years :)

[@this-that57]

@@m7jnu me too! I hadn't skated for decades. But started relearning to skate last year. I have not progressed very much at all, so for me to have stopped for three months, really is like starting over. I had only been trying to learn to skate again for 6 months. And was barely able to at all. 😕
