To everyone saying I am supporting impala, I am not, I simply needed a pair of skates in the box in order for this episode to make sense. Pigeon graciously gave me these skates so I could make this video. I am not saying support impala, and I am also not judging those who have impalas. I’m simply making a video for all the new people who just got skates with literally the only new pair of skates I could get my hands on.

Couldn't understand why I was having so much trouble, until I watched this video -- the skates had very loose trucks, which gave me a lack of control. Awesome video, thank you!

I’m 59, grew up on skates. But it’s been several years since I’ve skated. Got me some Foxy skates…not sure about quality bc I always bought my skates from the store at the rink and they were good plus they did all the pretrip work for me. So, I get my skates and try to skate and it was so hard! I thought to myself, maybe I’m just too old for skating. I put them away for a month and decided to try again. I tried to roll a wheel w my hand and discovered the wheels didn’t even make a complete circle. Trucks were tight. So I began my research and I found this channel. Yay! I understand much more now. But I can only get one wheel loosened w the skate tool I bought. Our local skating rink no longer has a skate store. But at least I have a solution and hopefully will get these wheels turning! Happy skating!

You are the sweetest person. It’s so disheartening whenever I see more experienced skaters gatekeeping the community and judging other for cheaper and less-quality skates. It’s important to understand what you are paying for though, and you provided that information so well while being so kind!

Can you make a video of necessary/recommended equipments to keep your skates in good shape? How to clean your skates? Also when to know to buy new wheels or toe stoppers by the looks of it? New skater here and a new subscriber! This channel has been really helpful, thank you.

@l.a.k

3 жыл бұрын

I’d say maintenance depends on what skates you’ve got. Usually you can get by with your skate tools and the stuff you need to clean bearings with (at the very least some speed cream so the bearings will roll after you’ve cleaned them). If you have light coloured suede skates and you want to keep them pristine you could consider buying suede cleaner. You should probably get new wheels if they have a flat spot (a worn spot where the wheel is flattened because of T-stops or lots of sliding) or if you’re frustrated with your speed or agility and feel like you’ve outgrown your current wheels. It’s also a good idea to change your wheels if you decide to, for example, go to the skate park or to the rink. Adjustable toe stops should DEFINITELY be replaced when you see the stem of the toe stops poking out the other side. Preferably you replace them a little bit before this happens. Usually you have a dominant foot, and you can swap your toe stops before you’ll have to get a new set. Bolt on toe stops need to be replaced before you reach the bolt keeping it in place. If you don’t, and the bolt wears down because you keep braking on it, the screwhead will lose it’s definition and you won’t be able to take off your toe stop.

I got my first pair of skates four days ago and have been skating for 3/4 of those days for hours, and i think im getting lowkey addicted. I just loosened the wheels properly earlier today and the difference is a lot bigger than i thought. Thanks for making these videos, they really helped me a lot when beginning as i've been binge-watching you for weeks before my skates came and you've made the learning process so much easier and im feeling confident that im actually gonna be able to skate well one day:))

How is the skating going? I order a pair two days ago so I am just looking at how to videos.

I will be receiving my Impala skates at the en dof this week. I am sooo excited, thanks a lot for this video!

This was such a life saver! I've been skating for five days and had NO IDEA that my wheels were too tight. I was getting on okay, but also couldn't work out why I couldn't do a c sweep or go backwards even slightly. Then I loosened them and immediately fell over backwards. Which was also my first fall! So hooray! Also, thank you for the lacing video - I needed to get my heal further back into the, erm, heal but I was lacing them so tight to achieve this that my feet were killing me after 20 mins. Now I'm doing the cute little loop on the top two eyelets and I feel like I have new skates. Thank you thank you!

Just recieved my first pair of Impala Skates on Monday!! Im so excited and will be using them for the first time on Saturday (a lil nervous about that part...i have not skated regularly for years)...so glad I found this channel!! 🥰💕

this was incredibly helpful! thank you! i just got impalas for Christmas and im super stoked about trying them for the first time! the wheel thing also was helpful so thank you very much for explaining on how to make them so theyll roll correctly!!!!

Thank you, this was so useful! I didn't realize my toe stops were adjustable--just started skating on Beach Bunnies.

I've been skating since last May and this is the first time I've seen something about loosening the trucks!! Thank you so much!

I just started skating again , im 62 . My son bought me some bunnies . Prettiest skates ive ever owned but didnt realize i needed to adjust the wheels . I almost bust my butt several times and I was thinking “oh no ive lost it” but a friend at the rink told me to loosen my wheels . Omg what a difference it made!! Now im about to loisen these trucks and start back dancing 😂

Got a new pair, started skating right away, one of my trucks were lose and I thought my rollers had some kind of manufacturing problem hahaha greaaat video

This is super helpful! Adjusting the wheels has made a huge difference!

Omgg my skates came in today and bc of you I also ordered the tool ! And omg this was soo helpful

@inesecile4430

@@MNerestant83 It depends on your preference. With looser trucks you have more movement and therefore it's less stable. Less loose trucks are more stable. So me personally would suggest to not loose them too much until you get comfortable in them an refind your balance on the skates. As soon as you wish more movement for piruettes and stuff you can loosen them up a bit, just not too much. Hope that helps :)

Marianne same here outdoor is different. I'm still looking for the correct surface. Street roads (neighborhood) is like skating through mud... Sidewalks have a crack every other pace. I've been on some concrete that's decent and then all of a sudden surface texture changes and I feel like I've hit a barrier or yield sign and almost topple forward... Any suggestions? Rink ↔️ road skater....

Just found your video. It was helpful. I’m 54 and growing up my friends and I used to go to the roller rink twice a week. They were great times. Over the years I’ve owned a few pairs of inline skates, but work and life got in the way of actually getting out there. I’ve been seeing a lot of skating online lately and I’ve come to find out there are a few rinks about an hour away from me. I’d love to get back into it . I though about getting a pair with outdoor wheels for a paved path near where I live. Would it be better to have the trucks looser or tighter for outdoor skating? I’m glad I found your channel. I’m going to check out some more of your videos. 💕

This was sooooooo informative. I grew up skating and started back, but these were never explained in detail. THANK YOU! THANK YOU!🙏💯🥰🥰🥰🥰

I’m getting my skates tomorrow and I am so excited and thank you for the video ❤️❤️

I thought I’d made a huge mistake buying skates, but doing all these adjustments (luckily I bought a tool already) instantly made it so much easier. Thank you!

I just got my first pair of rollerskates the other day! I got impalas. Thanks for making this video! I'm gonna get my partner to help me with the wheels and trucks tonight. I just wish the toe stop was adjustable, it feels so much shorter than I expected! Hopefully I get used to it. atm I suck at stopping but I'm getting better at bubbles for now thanks to yours & others tutorials! The first day I cried because it was so much harder than I thought, you guys make it look so easy! But the second day I improved heaps, I hope I can be as good as you one day!

Your vid is very helpful for someone like me who literally doesn't know what to expect and adjust on my first pair. Thank you so much

Just ordered my 1st pair of skates since i was 17 i will be 45 on the 23rd and i love to skate went to the rink yesterday and i felt so free i cant wait and watching info vids ty for posting.

Thank you for this video! I just got my first pair of Roller skates (Impalas) and had no idea that you should find what loose-/tightness you wanted in the trucks. Now that I loosened them a tiny bit, turning is way easier for me (turning is an option I couldn't figure out on tight trucks)! Also had no idea you should adjust the wheels, I had two that were to tight. This was great, thank you!

Hands down, this is the most informative video on the Internet. I just bought skates yesterday wanting to teach myself and after watching this and making all the adjustments my skates feel so much better. Thank you so much 🥰
