@@NeverDenyMe Most definitely. Roller skating blew up in a big way over the past few years. Hopefully, all these newcomers will stick with it for life. If you can get in with some dedicated skate shops and get them to take orders for you, I'm pretty sure your machines would be running non-stop. A post by one or more of the right influencers could change your life. Don't forget about ice skates and roller blades too.
Hey, so what you have in your video are called washers. They come on the base of the axle and some come on the outside of the top bearing...they definitely help make your wheels roll better so I'd keep them on, but that's just me. Spacers are what go in between the bearing of your wheel. They help to unsure a smooth, even and consistent roll. Happy Skating
Exactly the video I needed, my dad who passed a few months back left his speed skates. I took em brought new bearings. The wheels were huge in the rink, couldn’t tell you how many times I fell🤣
Right on...came accross looking to replace wheels and I used to live in Vegas...and yes I would catch Mayweather up at Crystal Palce on Boulder all the time skating with his kids...I'm glad he stepped up and kept it (or them...dont know if same owners for the CP on Rancho) going for the youth...I know about the other skate rink down town (Gold Rush i think)...What other rinks do they have now 5/2024 ?
Just subscribed! Looking forward to more great content! Thanks for the detailed explanation! Where can I see the covers? I could not find them in your site.
hi there. I originally buy 58mm/85A skate wheels. I truly wanted to go outdoor. Is it okay if I buy 65mm/78A? Will those bigger wheels get stuck or is it still gonna slide smoothly?
Input please : I’m newer to skating primarily in-rink practice . What is a good outdoor wheel to practice basics like crossovers and turns in . I’m torn with diameter and hardness/ softness . My current wheels are 58mm / 96a
Ouch...96a is an extremely hard wheel for outdoor skating...unless your skating at a skatepark in a bowl. But since we know you're not quite there yet let's get you some outdoor wheels. Few things to consider... 1) Durometer (hardness): you want to go for a stickier wheel. I'd suggest a 78a. The advantage of this is that because the wheel is super soft it will allow you to roll over twigs and cracks smoothly. It also takes speed out of your skate allowing you to control your movements better while you're learning. 2) Diameter: General rule...the wider the wheel the more stable the ride. A 62mm or higher is a good starting place. Brands: My favorite outdoor wheel is the Atom Pulse. Second runner up is the Radar Energy. And my third runner up would be the Moxi Gummy. Hope that gives you a little insight
Ahhh, just caught the other part of your question in regards to turns outdoors. Just remember, a sticky wheel is a slow wheel so my not be so great for spins and turns outdoors. You'll definitely want to get into the 85a or higher ranger for more advance skating involving a lot of elements where you'll need some slide and use of your edges.
I noticed some wheels have washers that sit between them and the axle (closest to the boot) why is this? why do some wheels use these and others do not?
This is so that the wheel doesn't touch the kingpin (depending on what size wheels you have on your skates) and keep the bearings from having direct contact with the end of the axel.
anyone have input on 62 vs 65mm wheels for outdoor. I am primarily learning indoors so my wheels are 57mm. I need to get more practice in so I need to go outdoors. want to practice things like crossovers and transitions.... advice/input?
Albeit a small difference...there is one. Depending on your skate and how close the wheel comes to the screws underneath and the kingpin will determine which size you should get. You just want to make sure you have the clearance. I recommend going with the 62mm because chances are that when you loosing your trucks and start turning that your wheels won't rub those screws holding your boot to the truck. I wear a US 12 so I can get away with the 65mm no problem. And since the 65mm's are wider, that means they'll be a bit more stable. Hope that helps.

Do they fit you still?
Skate covers are dope 🎉 i just started skating again and I think you’re the only one that I seen actually got skate covers and keep that going 🎉
I love the cover with the exposed laces. Very creative. Did you decide to sell them again?
This is great, I didn't know you skate. A roller skate was one of my first embroidery designs. Keep up the good videos!
Happy to have found your channel! I am just starting to embroider, and I am a skater from way back in my Detroit life.

I was wondering if you could steer me in the direction where I can find a size 14 outdoor quad roller skates.
Largest size I'm seeing online is a 13. I'll drop a link if I find anything though.
Do you use spacers when you put the bearings in? Or go with just the bearings?
So he doesn't have spacers in this video...he has washers. Spacers go in-between the bearings.
