Lol I literally said the same because I had noooooooooooo idea there were different styles minus derby

For real me too. Like what’s the quick over view of each? Girl, if I leave this site to check on each of those, I ain’t finding my way back…❤️adhd :)

@@lightsoutmedia7370 Same here.

What’s dry humor

same lol!!!

In the skate world, there is a VAST difference between "cheap" and "inexpensive". Skating for 47 years and having over 20 pairs myself, all of mine are the inexpensive to moderate prices (none of mine are more than $350, cheapest was originally $85, that I got on sale for just $62). Definitely go for those cheapER skates, just make sure they're not CHEAP skates. Skip any listed as "Double Row Roller Skates", "Side by Side Skates", etc. or ones that don't have a specific brand listed...and even if they DO have a brand listed, investigate that company! C-7's are great for beginners, and usually only around $80-$120. Epic brand...I LOVE my Epic Nitro's...4 years of use, including rink, outdoor, and a season of derby!)...are around around the same price point (specifically, the Nitro's typically run around $80-$95). Most known brands (Riedell, Sure-Grip, Chaya) have many models from inexpensive to YIKES!...but even their inexpensive ones are still stable, sturdy, and reliable for beginners. Once you learn to roll, have a good grasp on a couple methods of stopping, and maybe backward skating and/or a couple "basic" tricks (if you want to go beyond "just the fun of rolling"), you'll definitely want to upgrade, though...be it the wheels, stops, or boots...if not the full skate itself.

Thank you 😭I’ve been searching for some skates because I wanted to get into the hobby but I didn’t want to spend 200+ for some skates I wouldn’t even be able to use good. They nitros seem like a wonderful choice and honestly could last me years. Thank you for the advice

That's actually good though tbh you are experiencing different fun things that you just want to try

@@gelly8983 yeah but I never master anything. I am just kind decent at a whole bunch of different things lol

Oh my god me too!! I'm decent enough to where it gets me by and I can enjoy it, but man do I go through hobbies all the time. Never bad to learn too much I guess lol

@@Leeta I’m going thru this right now lol

Haha you sound like me! I’m always starting new activities. Just started rollerskating.

Same! Absolutely love my Moonboots but i cant get over how theyve said theyll have better communication... and then have been silent for months. Wth is going on with them??

They are out of business now 🙁

It's ok. At first, you don't necessarily know what you want.

@@obsidiansea Or in my case, I never know what I will want at which point so it's best to prepare for all scenarios :D

@@warchiefoomii ADHD here as well 😆 thanks a lot for the support!

Do I have ADHD? I buy multiple of everything that I like, I’m yet to skate and actually say I can skate, yet I just purchased skate number 4 Impala Plum New Release. I do want to learn so badly but the weather set me off as I started my 1st pair collecting last November 2020. I’m 44 but I’m sure if I had a coach nearby I would be a pro at skating, its been a dream hobby since I was a small child.

I feel this. I just impulsively blew my paycheck on skates, pads, and a helmet, and I haven't roller skated in 8 years 😂 On the right side, this should hopefully occupy me for the summer, so it's a better obsession than video games

That’s the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me.

YASSSSS! And I'm here for it!

I got back into rollerblades recently. Last time I skated was 20+ years

☺

Share the code please

How can I get that offer

That's awesome! I love this! Thank you, I'm super excited for you to start!

I appreciate this so so so much! I am going to be updating my skate content over the next few weeks so keep an eye out and let me know if there is anything specific you’d like to see. How are you liking skating so far?

@@DasiaDoesIt I am loving skating again and I go at least 3-4 times a week. I am having problems learning how to stop and have watched several videos on the plow method but for whatever reason I continue to roll once I bring my feet in. I would love to see you provide techniques on stopping. Good thing I skate outside in an open area so I can plunge into the grass....LOL but that's getting old.

@@DasiaDoesItHello, I don’t know why your videos came across my feed. But I’m glad you did. I am sixty-one years young, trying to get my groove on. I bought skates during the pandemic when everyone was skating. Mind you I have not skated since I was a teenager. No wait. I take that back. I had rollerblades after my divorced. I was forty so twenty years or so years ago. Anyway, I bought these skates for about sixty dollars, but the wheels are plastic. I came across a video of women who have same skates. She said they are the worst skates. I agree because you will break your neck. I tried using them a few times, even tried to use them at a skating rink. I can’t even stand without holding onto something. I want to change the wheels, but I don’t know which wheels to buy. Maybe you can do a video on skating wheels for beginners. And thank you for the tip in your other video about buying expensive skates. That tip save from purchasing $300 skates for now until I become more advanced😊

@@chica-jinx5811 I’m so proud of you for getting back on your skates! I’m assuming you got some of those Chicago ones with the pink wheels maybe? Those were my first too, if so, some of my favorite wheels are the Luminous Wheels! They are a great hybrid wheel.❤️

The first thing I did was swap the plate on my moon boots to the ones from my lolly's. Haha I gave my bunnies away too.

🥹 thank you so much

FA, furry assistant

Hey, I’m also from Germany ☺️ Just gonna ask, where do you skate? Do you have a rink or a skate park nearby? Or did you find the perfect empty parking lot? Just curious, to be honest 😅

Im so so glad! Hello fellow adhd potterhead. 😍I’m actually dropping some really helpful ones in the upcoming week. So glad you’re here Mel!!

This was my dilemma! It's understandable, the only thing I will say is avoid those easy 50$ chicago skates because they will have you thinking that skating isnt for you and you won't stick to it at all lol.

Thanks for being here! I'm so excited for you to give rollerskating another try.

I know this is an old comment but you can find them on the moonlight roller website

I don’t think you should feel bad about ordering the lollys. They were my first, and only skate I have bought, and I look at it like a life investment. I don’t think I will buy another skate, I’ll just keep upgrading my skates when the time comes. The lollys are amazing, and I love how unsupportive they are ironically. I hope you love them when you get them!
