    I don’t often see people use outdoor/softer wheels at the skate park! I feel safer in my outdoor wheels, so I’m glad I got to see someone else using softer wheels even for the park!! 🤗

    • @simon_slays55
      @simon_slays55  3 роки тому +3

      Thank you! Yeah I mostly skate skatelite and metal ramps, I like that they're grippy and don't slip sideways on surfaces like those.
      It's almost a two hour drive to any concrete skatepark or bowl from where we live, so I usually just keep my Radar Energy wheels on. (I'll switch to harder wheels if I want more speed there, but sometimes I'm too lazy lol).
      I'm tall and heavier on wheels with my height, so that weight adds to my momentum as well: I get pretty decent speed on softer wheels.
      Also there's NOT a ton of ramps with tall transitions near me, which as a tall skater, that's a bummer because I prefer taller ramps because of my height. It doesn't take much for me to get high on a transition because of my long legs, I'm usually already taller than the ramp I'm skating. I don't really need super hard wheels to get me up on the coping or deck, one small pump can get me to the top in 78 wheels- if anything the softer/less hard wheels help scale it back so I can skate the smaller stuff more normally. In hard wheels I FLY
      The energy radar wheels have been my favorites for awhile now. I've loved their versatility. I'm in love with the larger size, the black ones I own are 35 mm x 65 mm, 65s, 78a. They're soft enough to roll over debris on the street outdoors, but gummy and hard enough to ride ramps and surfaces like the ones I mostly skate. They also last forever?? My first pair (62 in teal) I bought over 3 years ago and they're still going after skating an upwards of 500 days in them.

      @simon_slays55  4 роки тому

      Nice, I have the 103a Vertext wheels for bowls from CIB and they make you LEVITATE. I don't switch out to my hardest wheels because of how far we have to travel to even get to a bowl from where we live. Cheap wheels are always a win to have, I feel like if you can find a pair that feel good to roll on for the surface you skate the most, you're set.

      Yeah for concrete I would switch to my harder wheels, 96a-103a, but you fly so high and go so fast, it's a little bit of an adjustment when I switch them out after skating skatelite and wood on grippy slower wheels. I got my energy wheels off amazon! I really like them.

    I've been loving your channel! I've been recovering from an injury for about two months now and I can't wait to get back on eight wheels. Your channel has been a great comfort. Do you like the Avanti plates? I want to upgrade from the stock plate on my Lollys but I have no clue what to look for or consider. Also, if anyone has tips for overcoming fear post-injury that would be wonderful!

      Aw thank you so much Catherine! I'm happy to hear that.
      I TOTALLY understand that, that's tough. I had shoulder surgery February 2019 for a torn labrum and couldn't skate for 6 weeks, and no park skating for 6 months. I recorded recovery videos, like my daily routines and what I did while I wasn't able to skate to speed up my recovery...I also wrote THREE articles for Dogdays Magazine on my experience on coming back to skating after an injury and surviving a long-term injury as a skater. I'm so happy you asked because that's exactly why I wanted to write those articles to help out any fellow skaters who have to go through the same thing- trying to pass on my empowering takeaways! Here's the article links:
      1. "How I went through shoulder surgery and back to roller skating" in Dogdays Magazine bit.ly/3cyg9HU
      2. "How To Get Your Skate ‘Mojo’ Back After An Injury" in Dogdays Magzine bit.ly/3mQgJW9
      3. "Mindset Mantras" (an article with helpful mindsets you can choose to survive and stay positive with the mental experience of being out of rollerskating due to an injury, these helps me a lot!) in Dogdays Magazine bit.ly/3i3yMom
      Hope you give those a read and that they encourage you

      @@simon_slays55 Oh my goodness, thank you so much! I can't wait to dig into those articles. I was cleared on Monday to start walking again and had my first PT appointment on Tuesday. It'll definitely be a journey and I'll need to have a second surgery to remove some hardware (but not all), and I so appreciate your help and guidance. Yeah I thought that price point for a non-nylon plate was too good to be true so I figured I should ask, haha. I am glad to hear they are a good investment! I really appreciate that you've talked about injury and recovery; I feel like not too many folks talk about it even though it's a fairly common thing. Skating is, after all, and aggressive sport!
