Coco youre one of my biggest inspirations. I'm a black nonbinary skater and i just love seeing diverse representation. I wanted to start a channel about a bare ass beginner starting to skate cuz youve and iwanttogotoparadide on it inspired me. High key still scared but just want you to know youre my role model

I am not having a great time in my quads (I am new to quads). I am a 80s baby but skated in the 90s. And inline skates were my go to! I could skate! But I needed a brake before I get the impala's. THANK YOU FOR SHOWING THE STOPPERS!!!! Now I can go for these

I am a size US 10, I bought a size 10 in the Impalas and when I tell you my toes were jammed up in those skates all curled up, I mean it. So I sent them back to get 11s. I highly suggest size up unless you’re comfortable with a tighter boot.

AHHH i also cant wait to see you trying these bad bois out in the street ! those spinsss got me drooling how you do that ?!!! 😆

You can actually remove the frame with a drill or rivet press and then put razors cult soul plates on there and turn it into an aggressive skate that is a razors cult shell it’s just branded for impala

Just bought the blue ones can’t wait to hit the beach trails with these babies !!!!

I’m a newbie to quads and don’t feel safe skating alone during lockdown, so I ordered some inlines today to help with my fitness while we’re not training. I hope I’m as good as I was at 13 😂 subscribed because yoga/skating/yasssss

The only thing I dont like about them is the wheels they arent very durable so if you like stuff like powerslides and stuff these aren't the best for it but otherwise they are pretty nice

hey girl great video! would you still recommend these on rougher surfaces like asphalt or concrete?

Hey ! Do you know what size bearings they come with??? My light up wheels only work with 8mm axles lmao 💗

Are these stable? How does it feel on your arch? I have a pair of blades, different brand and they are miserable on my arch. I can't skate in them at all. It's so painful. I don't want to make the mistake with these.

Hey coco, could you do a follow up video of your flaneurz skates please. They looked amazing in your unboxing but they don’t seem to have been your skate of choice in any videos since. I’m really stuck in deciding between a flaneurz skate or the moxi lollys. Thanks in advanced

I don't have any but Impala inline skates are so cute 🥰

At the start of the video when you were by the pool I was thinking to myself Thea I would fall in

Would you recommend just getting a full size up because I'm a 2 and 3??? So would it be smart for me to get a 4 maybe

@ChessmasterHex

4 жыл бұрын

These skates use the same moulds as Razors Cult skates and they run a half size small so you probably want to size up. It would be more accurate to measure your feet and go off a euro sizing chart, these are damn good skates for the money.

Would you say that you could go fairly fast in these? I’m thinking of getting new inlines since my old ones are years old so looking at these I wondered what skating with them is like!

@jakeenamckay5026

3 жыл бұрын

This may be too late but another skater said they’re not very fast, so I’m assuming an experienced skater like her would feel the same. For a beginner these would be great or for someone who isn’t planning on doing tricks or “racing”

my girlfriend would like to know if theyre wide. she has wide feet and had trouble fitting like flying eagles and rollerblades brand of skates. Please let me know 😖🙌

Are you able to adjust the height of the wheels too? I saw someone say you can but not sure

Hey, hopefully this will be helpful. My regular shoe size is 38, I got my impala in 39, and yes it’s a bit tight still!

that damn foot work is so nice to watch lol. can't wait to get this good

Did you ever get the correct size?

Hey love you so much. Can you give me advice? I bought candi girl skates. The wheels are 66mm and I feel so high up on the skates. Scary. I practiced for the very first time for about 30 minutes. I fell so much but kept falling on my right side. I fell a lot of times but 3 times on my right side. By the third time on the same spot hurt a lot. I didn't think I could take another fall on the same side. I'm scared now. I actually cried cuz I really want to skate and feel the joy of skating and feeling free. I'm discouraged now because of that pain on my side. This is going to sound stupid but is it normal to fall everytime I get up. Like literally everytime I stand up I fall. Well...I actually dont stand up, i stand but lean over like an elderly woman lol. I'm so sad. Please need advice. God bless!🙏✌

this comment is 3 months old but ill reply anyways, when i first hit the skate park i had my airpod case in my left pocket and i fell on it repetitively and it hurt more than my right side, make sure you dont have anything in your pockets and if you feel unstable just bend your knees to regain balance ( kind of like squatting ). As for getting up, I learned from the series of videos Impala created to get started: vimeo.com/295686722

Hey boo!!

Are roller skates or inline skates better outside? Which is faster?

@hemmialternate74

4 жыл бұрын

I see that this comment is a month old, but ill answer it for you hah! Inline skates are better for outdoors as they can glide over bumps and rocks. Rollerskates will trip you up on rocks and is not as reliable on concrete or bumpy terrain like inlines. Also, inline skates are much much faster than Rollerskates because they are made to be aerodynamic. Hope this helps!

My feet are the same size as yours 🇨🇦

The girl on the box is ment to be *ambiguous* according to what I have heard from the artist/brand online because this is one of the few brands made by women with women as the main focus and so they wanted it to be representative of anyone and everyone so no one feels left out .... as there is very few manufacturers with very feminine styles for RollerBlades hence why they cartoonized the character down more then the original Roller Skate one that had a very caucasian girl face with a 80’s valley girl like tan vibe... especially when it comes to rollerblades over skates ... ( funnily enough when it comes to the roller blades some of the male mainstream brand reviews have been making fun of the look saying its silly cuz it effects “performance” as if wanting a feminine skate just for fun and not racing is a bad thing / something to laugh at) 🤗
