I looked at my wheels on my ride this afternoon and thought "oh man, time to rotate these... I hope Polly has a tutorial". I'm a beginner hopefully crossing into intermediate ( I can skate on one leg now!) and have been using your videos for reference. 5 weeks strong and absolutely loving the journey. Thanks for making such good content!

Omg this makes me so happy to hear 🥹 so excited about your progress ! I also have a number of short videos on rotating which might be more straightforward. I’m still new to making longer content. Hopefully this was actually helpful! ❤🙏

@@PollySkates it was perfect for my needs! These longer in depth videos are great. I was able to change my wheels (and give my skates a good quick clean) in less than 20min thanks to you and next time it'll be even quicker. Time to go test them out. 😁

Great advice!! I have just rotated my wheels with the help of your tutorial... Thank you😊😊.

Thank you Polly! You always have the videos I need as a beginner skater. Forever grateful. ❤

You're so welcome!❤️🤗

You're an amazing teacher

Polly you are the GOAT 🐐 youre supervisor is doing a fine job as well making sure everything is in order 🐈

thats good for fresh wheels but as time goes on the "pointyness" changes for me wheel-to-wheel basis. and ill just eyeball it. (3 wheel setup) ill literally hold them side by side and squint one eye and look to see what the profile looks like headone. whenever ones look pointy-er go on my back non dominate skate front to back and the least pointy ones go on my dominate skate front to back

Cute cat! 🐱

Definitely the trusted source for this.

Damn Molly ❤

Also, where do you get your cute skate outfits like this one and from other videos?

Can confirm that stopping the bolt is catastrophic. 😂 Did it once and will NEVER do it again.

Always happy to see you both was Dolphin on wheels then 😂🙌🏾💜🦉

Awesome, thnx for the video! In the 90's, lol, we used to just rotate the wheels on the same place of the frame, can u explain why this rotation with all the wheels "mixed" is better? 😊

Switching your feet is because the more dominant foot wears faster and the position because the first and last wheels wear faster too :) I explained this in the vid sorry I wasn’t more clear! 🩵

hey can u tell me what skate foot is right and which foot is left?

@iamdavidandiamasaint

It really can vary. Some people use their right foot as their right skate foot, while others use their left foot as their right skate foot. (And vice-versa, for the left skate foot some will use their right foot and others their left). And some people switch back and forth, you should try both and see what feels more comfortable.

How do I take hair out my weels and if I do have to take them out what do I need

When I get hair in my wheels from the roller rink, I just remove them and wipe the hair off like Polly did with a paper towel. Since my indoor setup is never used outside, the wheels last a really long time so I just remove the wheels one at a time. Most skates come with the right Allen key to remove the wheels, but if not they will probably be 4mm. First time removing them will probably be pretty hard, like Polly struggled with one wheel.

@@user-uo9lk4nb5m Typically the first time is really hard as they are installed with blue Loctite. I've had to really put a lot of muscle into getting the screws loose with T handle style hex wrenches. I've been tempted to get hex sockets.

Hey Polly, how do you know when it is time to rotate them? What do you look for or what is the feeling when you know that it is time to?
