Avanti Plate + Short Stem Toe Stop = Best of both worlds. :) I'm too old to completely ditch the stop all together. LOL But any taller (higher profile) plate, with short stem stops ALL the way in, work about the same. The jam, shuffle, and rhythm skaters at the rink can't figure out how I do the same moves they're doing with stops still on. I like cheating. LMAO

I’ve been skating twice a week for about two months and it seems like no matter what I do I’m getting run over by kids AND adults that like to use me as a traffic cone. I have sensory issues so my first instinct when some gets way to close to me is to clothesline them 😂. I’m not sure if I’m doing something wrong or if people are just rude

Thank you so much - this was the best explanation I was able to find! Question - what is another workaround besides screwing in the toe stops all the way up?

Would that allow me to drill my dribbles/toe spins/crazy legs? Thanks so much again :)

In the UK jam plugs are so hard to get hold of the few who have them have jacked the prices to unreasonable levels. No way is a pair of jam plugs worth £25. In dollars that's around $34 FOR ONE PAIR. I'm not paying that. I thought of buying regular toe stops & slicing them down in half then sanding them smooth and round? No idea if it will work but a pair of toe stops here cost under a tenner.

Find people to do it with. I didn't enjoy skating till I joined clubs because I like learning from other people and just having fun with it with other people even when I'm not learning anything. -artistic skating dance classes -roller derby -inline hockey (not quad skates tho) -local social groups (find on FB, notice boards etc) or you can just go out to a skate park or beach boardwalk and find other skaters to skate with, or just try convince a friend to come do it with you somewhere.

@penelopenukem3 жыл бұрын
in my opinion jam plugs are a waste of money (here in the UK they are pretty pricey for what they are). They're only good if you have toe caps that rely on them to be in place. I just prefer to have my toe stops really high (mine are adjustable) as I know I have an emergency stop and I can do some awesome stalls and pivots alongside my dance skating. I highly recommend you just invest in skates with adjustable toe stops from the get go. My friend recommended I learn to dribble without toe stops, I learnt it and haven't had an issue with having the toe stop in.

When I ordered my first pair of skates, I ordered jam plugs because I was planning on doing dance skating. Well, my skates arrived weeks after I got mu jam plugs. So with my stock stoppers on, I was showing my son how to walk on his stoppers, so he wouldn't slide back down the driveway. Well, I'm used to toe picks on ice skates. So I am used to finding my toe picks at a 20 degree angle. With my roller skates, I felt I was at a 70 degree angle. I fell down hard. My son was like, "so you want me to kill myself? I'm good, thanks." When this happened, I realized I may never need the jam plugs, because I would never put my foot in a 90 degree angle!
