I prefer the wheels slightly rattling now :). It was weird the first few times, but my skateboarder friend said it would be better, together with looser trucks. He was right, but for some reason roller skate girls say it's a big no no, it's just a matter of preference, not a law 🙃

It's only not a law until one rolls away because the lock nut got stripped during your skate 😂. I've seen a few roll on off the floor. But.. some skates have larger trucks too so there's that.

@@galinageorgieva4735 So, for downhill carving that you might encounter on street and trail, the lateral shifting of the wheel on the axel creates a stability issue. But I agree, everyone needs to play with their setup and do what works. Truth is some adjustments wear out components faster than others. I used to loosen my trucks pretty heavily, until I started reaming out pivot cups. I discovered from others that I should try using softer cushions and relying on that for the flex, and tighten up the truck. Totally worked for me.

I do this all the time! I skate to the thrift store, salon, family dollar...everywhere I can, LOL! I've gotten to know my town pretty good, where to skate and whatnot. We're moving this weekend (after 9 years) and I'm a little nervous to see what the roads and sidewalks are like. I am really excited that there's a roller rink a mile away from our new place! I was a total rink rat growing up but haven't been to one in 35 years! They have an 18+ Adult Skate on Thursday nights so I can't wait to check that out! But I will ALWAYS skate outside when I can. I fell in love with it last year when I bought a pair of skates (& outdoor wheels) for my 50th birthday! People probably think I'm crazy when they see me bouncing and swaying to the music in my ears, LOL! Great video!

@jejeanine161 that’s legitimate. Start on a residential street where traffic is low. Skate against the flow of traffic so you can see the cars coming and they can see you. Stop or slow right down before they approach. The best skill you can teach yourself is how to stop quickly. Work on gaining confidence with that and skating will feel as comfortable and safe as walking.

The toe box is wide. I haven’t used these on trail because I bought a dance plate for them. They are my jam setup. But I think they would be very comfortable for trail. Maybe a bit hot for my liking in the heat of summer though. They are quite structured, and the tongue is very thick.

I would recommend the Moxi lolly complete package. They are very comfortable and come with the best kind of outdoor wheels. I still use the wheels years later when I go on a trail that might have cracks and gravel or rougher street surfaces. I swap the wheels with harder smaller ones when skating indoors. They last years! Get out there! You’ll be nervous at first but wear safety gear. After falling a couple times it won’t be so scary. I find the worst block is the fear of falling but it’s big so bad! Skating is such a fun hobby!

I never ever skate before and I recently find out about this concept and I think it can be really useful for my trips around cities since I travel mostly to urbanised centers. I wonder, does some criticism of them rooting from conventional skate usage of more experienced skates, that maybe will not be a case in situation when I don't want to be "skate", I just want travel around city faster and put them to backpack just when I need it and also they will be the first rolls I ever had, what do you think?
@TheSkateOutdoors 18 күн бұрын
I think it will take you a few months to learn how to skate on sidewalks and streets before you are comfortable using these to travel around the city. Street skating is challenging no matter what skates you have. But if you’re looking for skates that you can bring anywhere easily, yes these are great for that. The base clips off and you put it in a bag, and the shoes are regular sneakers. It’s very convenient!

I was interested in the Slades for convenience but now looking at other options. What would you recommend for a beginner? Thanks.
@TheSkateOutdoors 18 күн бұрын
I always recommend the Moxi lolly complete package. They are made by reidell, sold by Moxi rollerskates. I’ve been using mine for years. They come with the best wheels for skating all outdoor surfaces. When you skate at the rink, you’ll want to get smaller harder wheels and change them out. You could start with slades but it will be more challenging. A heeled boot gives you better posture and balance, making it less likely you’ll fall backwards when learning. Have fun on your learning journey! It’s so worth it!

I have about 2cm of space from the tip of my toe to the tip of the shoe, and they are quite wide too. I compared the spacing of the wheel with my Rookie skates which are a UK8 and the wheels have a larger spaceing so I'm not sure how big they think a UK8 is?
