So as I go around a corner I cross my outside foot over the inside one but at the same time lift my back skate off the ground?

Yes! It may feel funny at first, but give it a try. You have to lift your inside foot anyway to reset/complete your crossover :)

As a kid, I skated approximately 20 hours each week for about 11-12 years. Basically a speed skater. It's been a minute but yesterday I bought a new pair of skates and I'll start hitting it this weekend. I turn 70 in a few months and the doctors want to remove or replace pretty much everything I have and I have zero plans for letting them do it. Skating will be my secret weapon.

@@Kira_Aros Hi! Thanks for reaching out. I started back, not as strongly as I’d imagined, but not horrible either. I sucked it up and wore a bicycle helmet and pads from my enduro motorcycling kit. Took some falls but no injuries. Two weeks later I’m recovering from a gallbladder removal and two weeks after that I’m recovering from having a frig’n pacemaker put in. Heart rate dropped below 20 during the gallbladder thing. However, my agreement with the cardiologist was to set the default rate high enough so that as I continue to regain my fitness there won’t be anymore bs about concerns over lowering heart rates. I should be get clearance to resume skating on June 4. ( fall too hard too soon and it’s not uncommon to dislodge the pacemaker probes and have to start all over…no thanks😂) Hope to report killer results soon! All the best ✔️

It's hard to know what to suggest. I enjoy your videos and personality, so do whatever makes you happy! I am still struggling to get back out and skate too. It's been well over a month. And now I'm nervous to try again. I do have a question though. When you go out to skate at all the different outdoor places, do you sweep? And if not, how do you manage to skate so freely with rocks/pebbles, twigs etc? I do sweep the area I plan to skate on. But still get tripped up on some I missed.
@SkatewithTess5 ай бұрын
I actually do sweep a little! But yeah you do have to kinda get used to all the rocks, twigs etc.

i love my gumball toe stops and might get the superballs next! derby boot camp starts at the end of the month so if i decide to continue with that, the superballs will definitely be something i add to my skates. also about the long vs short stem: same as you i prefer my toe stops pretty high up, but i found that with long stems that can make the boot lift up off the plate if the stop is screwed in too much. so that may be a perk of short stems but then you won’t be able to put them closer to the ground if that’s something you want to be able to do as well

I watched this video because you were putting on the pink Atom Pulse wheels. I'm looking to buy those in pink, and really wanted to see what they actually look like. I was looking at the 62mm wheels, because I was concerned that the 65's would be too big and cause wheel drag? Not sure that's the right term. I've seen people saying they rub up against the screw that comes down under the boot. I recently got the Moxi Beach Bunny skates. And I need bigger wheels than what came on them, as well as wheels that work well on really rough surfaces. I've read a lot of reviews that say these are really good for that. Since you use them, how do they do for you on really rough surfaces? And I hope you do another video soon! I really love your videos. 🥰
@SkatewithTess8 ай бұрын
So the #'s are the softness/hardness of the wheels, not the size (like the wheel isn't bigger or smaller ☺️). The lower the number, the softer the wheels. If you're outside, you'll want a soft wheel to absorb the shock. Give em a whirl. And thank you so much, I appreciate the support. I will be back soon ;)
@this-that578 ай бұрын
@@SkatewithTess oh yes. I know the numbers for the hard or softness. I was concerned that the 65mm wheel would be too large for my skates. People who've reviewed these wheels in that size for the Beach Bunny skates, have all said they're too tall because of the screw that comes down from the boot. So the wheels drag across that screw. But I ordered these in the 62mm, so im crossing my fingers that they'll help me to finally skate on the rough concrete. 🤞

Hi Tess, I been skating in an open lot since last December and yesterday a sign was posted that a new community is going to be built. I was devastated but it's going to take some time to build all the homes so I'm going to keep going until I'm thrown off the land. There's not a lot of traffic on my street but the road is not smooth which scares me a little. I been searching for a backup plan. Great content! thanks
