Rebels reaction to the insoles. Like "how long have I been skating and never thought of that"
I felt that
As an older newish skater, I like that the BB has a longer wheel base than the Lolly, which I also have. I don't feel like I might fall backwards as much. I also always wear my Turtle butt pad to protect my old ass.
Oh my🤭
I have MANY pairs of skates and even though the BB are my cheapest skates they are actually on my top favorite. I love their support and once I changed the cushions and wheels they are amazing. I still choose them over my more expensive skates for trail skating very often.
What wheels did you get?
I’ve been so disheartened when I got my bunnies. Not really even that it’s uncomfortable from needing to be broken in, but feel like it’s heavy and sluggish. Like I’m skating through mud. Can’t keep speed and exhausting . Was already thinking about just selling them and getting something else like BONT PARKSTARS. I want to do trails, street and park with this skate.
So if I may ask what’s wheels and cushions did you get?
@@skateescaper7879 have you tried loosening the wheels?
@@skateescaper7879 You probably just need to clean/oil/change the bearings, adjust wheel nuts, and loosen trucks.
Newbie question: when I change the wheels to the gummies, do I need to change the bearings too?
Thank you Rebel and Peach! I have Beach Bunnies in Peach Blanket too! Thanks for sharing these upgrades! 🙏🏼

Omg, THANK YOU for the time stamps!! There is so much gold in this video I felt like I needed an actual notebook while watching it
The real MVP!!!❤
Rebel, my queen..
WHERE DID YOU GET THAT SHIRT YOU LOOK SO ADORABLE
its ash and chess!!
lol I'm unsure what tool I was talking about but it's definitely NOT a dremmel LOLLLLLLLLL
I think it’s the sure grip Snyder bolt break off tool!
I used a dremel! It works great to shorten the bolt.
Hello I'm a bigginer and my first attempt to roller skate it didn't go well and i didn't do it again for like 3 weeks now I'm thinking to do it agan ☹ is that better if i do my second attempt in the carpet?
At 4:08 you forgot to put in the recommended video in the info card! Love your vids :D
Can anyyyyyubody help me , where do men buy roller skates???? It’s so disheartening not being able to find ANY men’s skates from reliable legitimate websites other than China manufactured Amazon cheap ass companies I’ve seen everybody say not to buy. Men have no options for roller skates anywhere , all I want are a pair of outdoor skates I can take to the beach and ride around , I know I already know how to skate so I don’t need a beginner pair , I literally just want a legit pair of skates . Women have all sorts of options and choices but men have literally none . Size 11 skates are impossible to find , there absolutely zero male youtuber who give any useful information , and even online there’s absolutely zero helpful articles. I guess men are allowed to roller skate??? We’re supposed to only roller blade ???? So disheartening I didn’t know roller skating was such a sexist industry .
I heavily modified my watermelon BB's and regret nothing. Replacing just the cushions & inserts alone will help the fit so much!
My bunnies should be here tomorrow! This was perfect timing
Where did you order yours?
I’m going to change my laces because my toes definitely get tingly in my BBs
You guys are adorable. Rebel I’ve been enjoying all your videos. I’m 54 and just picking up roller skating again after 34 years.
Thank you for mentioning the cardboard insert. I was wondering why my new beach bunnies were uncomfortable!
Thanks Peach! That wide lace tip near the toe box is fantastic. I would skip days between skating because the skates were rubbing on my bunion (if you have bunions, you know they don’t like to rubbed). Two skate days in a row - whooo-hooo! Thanks so much for the tips!!
That’s wonderful!!! I’m so glad that it is working for you! 🥺💕
Great to see Peach back again!
I literally just seconds before watching this video, ordered my beach bunnies periwinkle. They're not my first skates, I have some Nijdam skates (Dutch brand) which were under 100 euros. So the beach bunnies are an upgrade until I have saved up for Jack boots. I intend to change out the cushions to medium and also get Moxi gummy wheels and brake petals. And maybe an insole, my current skates have okay cushions, as far as i can judge, but I did change out the wheels to energy wheels 78A and they could surely use an insole.
AWESOME! I'm getting some Bunnies soon, so this was perfect timing!
I got my beach bunnies last week and I love them!!! Thanks for making these videos you're helping me a LOT💚💚💚
Just ordered my first pair of bunnies! I’m so excited to start skating.
I just bought beach bunnies for my first roller skates and your videos are helping me figure out skating and saving my life 😂
Thanks ladies, my Bunnies are out for delivery today and I can't wait to upgrade!
Okay with all the searching I've been doing. You two have given me more info on the skates than other videos. I'm trying to save to get a pair but omg I did not know I had to change out the insole as well. And the lacing helps me so much since I have wide feet.
I just got my first pair because of you and I'm so excited to start skating ❤❤
I just started skating on my beach bunnies so is super helpful! Thank you!
I have Panthers....and I'm plus size. I switched out the lacing to support my ankle area more, switched out the wheels to PULSE wheels, and the toe stops to SUPER GUMBALL. I just got my THICK SET Animal Print pads (the knee pads were what I needed). I wanted a 187 BUM pad but they don't make 2X's🤷🏾♀️
This is very helpful! I got beach bunnies late last year and Ive only upgraded the cushions so far. I'm definitely going to take this advice .
I'm so glad I came across this video cause I'm one of those who's in between sizes and learning to try an insert was a total game changer for me!!!! you literally saved me from buying new skates!!!! Thank you!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Love the color combo on Peach's skates ! I like the pink wheels and laces a lot better than the original purple tbh
You two have some awesome ideas as how to upgrade your skates. I love the moxi brake petals and those pink heart 💜❤️ ones that Peach 🍑 has on hers. I am definitely going to invest in a new pair of inserts for my Sure Grip's! Thanks Rebel and Peach!
First of all, girls... your skin!! It's glowing!!! love
Yah! Just picked up Beach Bunnies as my daughters first but not last pairs… thanks for this!
just got my beach bunnies and first time skater (as an adult) this was so helpful thank you!!
I am loving the wheels that come with them. They are just the right pace and roll well indoors. I would only go harder wheels if I want to go faster. I can tell they are not gummy enough for outdoor if i want to avoid feeling all the rubble and cracks outdoors.
I have high arches and sciatica in my left foot! I will def be getting the insoles. Such a good idea!
Yay, Peach uses tools 🛠!!! Awesome vid-thanks, ladies, great for the tips on upgrading my new skates!!😊
Getting purple beach bunnies with purple luminous wheels! Woo can't wait!
I just ordered a pair of Moxi Jungles and since I'm pretty sure they're the same as the beach bunnies this video will be SO HELPFUL!
Literally got my first skates Beach bunnies yesterday! This video really arrived at the perfect time ❤️ Will definitely fix the laces and get better insoles as a start.
OML FINALLY I NEED SUGGESTIONS TO BETTER MY BEACH BUNNY SKATES
Thanks! I chose the Moxi Jungle instead of the Beach Bunny and am waiting for delivery next week. I heard the Jungles are very similar to the Bunny so will keep all of these tips in mind!
Favorite cheap alternative to insoles....EVA foam. Mostly used for cosplay, but available in many colors, sheets or rolls, and anywhere from 1mm to 10mm in thickness. I personally prefer the 6mm. After a few hours it will...not necessarily "squish", but...it will start to conform to your foot shape. Been using it for a few years now and absolutely love it. I don't think I have a single pair of skates left (13...and counting) that I haven't use the EVA foam with yet.
As for breaking in - especially vinyl, printed vinyl, vegan leather, etc. - I just sleep in mine the first two nights. Even my suede/leather ones I'll at least wear to bed the first night. Granted, if you live with a partner, they may not be all that keen on that option, though. LOL
And YES!!! Zero Nuts!!!! I love mine...but you do have to be careful with them. Friendly note: Repeated, frequent, wheel changes can weaken the nylon, causing them to fall off at the most inopportune time. Pick your wheels wisely and leave them on. With the bearing coverage, you don't have to clean the bearings as often as you would with regular axle nuts, either, so that's a definite plus in my book. :)
My bunnies came today and I’m so excited
Awesome info!!💗🧡💗🧡🛼🛼🛼🛼
This video is so helpful! I recently got a pair of Moxi ivy jungle in a Black Friday sale on a huge discount (they were £75 instead of £200) so I used some of these tips to modify them - new softer bushings & a gel insert later I’m a happy roller! I also applied the tips to my favourite everyday Chaya skates and it’s a world of difference! Thank you!
Thank you so much for this video! I was debating taking my bb back because they were uncomfortable, but thanks to you skating has never been more comfortable! Thank you!!! ✨
What changes did you make. Because I’m about to sell my bb too
LOVE YALL! Made me definitely want to put on my bunnies right now
OMG I love Peach’s painted back stay! I have died! SO cool. I love my BB. LOVE. The Panther is honestly the best skate I have. Your BB will just become SUPER soft over time. Mine are just squishy after about 6 months. I vote for Bowie in tattoo style on the side of your BB, given they are already pet themed! I love the artist who does Shove’s stickers. You can get dremels from Amazon, of course, and you can use them to saw off the excess just like Peach did. It’s not so bad! I swear! :D
It's nice to see this because I literally had to sit down in the street and tear my beach bunnys off after 10 mins because my arches hurt so bad. Also, I remember watching a dif video of yours where you mention the paper in the toe and I went "pssshh who would miss that?!?!" Lo and behold I got the skates, checked for the toe paper, then tried to put the skates on and went "why are they so TIGHT?!" lmao. It seems like a stupid warning before you actually get them but they really jam that ish in there!
These are my first skates and I LOVE THEM ❤
There are also some sprays to enlarge shoes, before to start skating you spray it where it's tighter... Gets loose faster 😉
I'm really glad I found y'all's channel, ever channel I've seen no one posts anymore, so I just subbed to y'all. 🌟👍
My lollies were way too tight!
I brought my skates to a shoe repair shop and had them stretched out!
Omg it made a world of difference! If you’re skates are too tight, I highly recommend this
Came for the skates knowledge, stayed for Rebels style 🤗 always 100% and perfection! 👌
OMG Peaches bunnies are so clean and cute. Mine are so dirty from street skating lol
I also need to get zero nuts. I am mind blown my bearings get so dirty
I use the mr clean magic eraser!!! It’s a miracle worker!
@@pinkgoldpeach THANK YOU!!
this is so helpful! I have beach bunnies that border on too small so I haven't been using them nearly as much as I want to bc they are so uncomfortabl. I'm afraid I'll have to sell them and save up the extra to get new ones in a bigger size but now I have something to try first
insoles that Peach was talking about:
amzn.to/2RWkmzr
amzn.to/3g5xHNz
Hi Rebel 🤗 The toe stop is the one thing I have yet to change but now I definitely will! I love the stiletto analogy.. makes so much sense!
As for wheels - what are your go-to bearings? I know you did a video on explaining them but what do you usually skate with?
Unrelated question - what camera are you using? I couldn’t help but notice your autofocus wasn’t cooperating.. wondering if I could offer some suggestions?
Awesome- thanks for this video! Just got my first pair! :)
this is so helpful, thankyou so much!
Your dress is beyond amazing! You are so pretty!
This is great. I didn't know I could take the insole out so I just put one on top. I'm def taking the insoles out when I get home lol. I have also experienced pain with these insoles.
Mine will be here next week!!
Unrelated, but LOVING your new hair color and cut!
It was great to see Peach again! I’d love to see more of her skating now. I was also glad to hear you had to trim the bolts. I was so nervous to do that but my 65mm wheels were hitting it and wouldn’t roll! I couldn’t find anyone mention it in videos so I wondered if it was just me.
Also I’m only about a month in and took a good slide at the end of a hill, scrapped up my skates pretty bad. I can’t believe how well yours have held up!
What did you use to shorten the bolts? I want to change my wheels on my beach bunnies and didn't even notice how long the bolts were.
@@filchikmcr my husband used a sawzall
@@rae-eq3yf thank you!!
Love your shirt!😍
My blue bunnys are in there way can’t wait 🙈
Love ur videos! Im new to the rollerskating world. Can you do a review on the Chaya Melrose deluxe roller skates??
My bunnies are my babies and I have loved on them super hard at the parks. I will say that they're great for the ankle support and on longevity I would say if you take care of them, they can last you a good long while. I'm coming up on a whole year of using then and they're going strong.
What wheels do you use for park skating??
What wheels and cushions would you recommend for trails, street and park use
Hope you’ll have a video about the moxi panther as well!! I got mine about a month ago and still trying to break them in!
I just got my BB and they’re so beautiful! They definitely are a little uncomfortable. My right pinky toe is way bigger than the left from when I stubbed it a while back. It definitely makes the right skate feel worse than the left. I’m going to try everything you’re recommending!
may you make a video describing different toe stops!
I‘m really stuck in between the moxi beach bunnies and the luna skates for my first pair of skates 😕 a review/comparison video of the Luna skates would be really helpful🥰 xoxo
I also don't know what to get and I would like to know what I should get for my first pair I'm not quite a beginner but it's been a while
I started with the BB and loved them. Just make sure you get the right size. I got an 8 because I wear a 9 but they were too big after they were broken in. I never skated in the Luna's but I have Moonboots and for me the BB were a way better skate! Hope this helps. 😁
@@kamibrown8947 Thank you for your advice ☺️ just to clarify when you say lunas do you mean the soy luna skates or the German brand suede luna skates?
I also modified my beach bunnies with different wheels, bearings and laces. The stock laces were so slippery and would come untied quite often. I changed the wheels to the gummy wheels for outdoor use and the fundae wheels for my basement/rink. My husband skateboards and helped me find the perfect bearings. I really need insoles because my arches are starting to fall 😬 My lolly’s are my favorite skates! Now that the weather is getting warmer, they breathe and allow my feet to not sweat as much. I just bought another set of Fundae wheels because I love the agility and smoothness of them❤️ I only need insoles and laces right now. My bunnies are in the floss color and my lolly’s are strawberry (with lime green gummy wheels and the green trick wheels). I love pink and green together! The color combo is so spring/summer!
Fallen arches? That's concerning, what causes this?
Thanks for this video! My Beach Bunnies are a little uncomfortable. I've ordered new cushings and need to get insoles. Otherwise, I'm enjoying my skates ☺️
What kind of paint do you recommend using when wanting to customize beach bunnies? 🥰
Rebel, your makeup looks beautiful 😍 *chef's kiss" ❤️
I mean, you're always Beautiful but you're GLOWING to the Gods in this video 😜😍🔥🔥
Hi! can you give more tips about the toe box area? I feel like ive done everything to try and get them to be more comfortable
what colour/Brand is that lipstick (the purple) it's GORGEOUS!!!
Thank you so much! I have flat feet and have started feeling it more and more, a growing pain where my arch should be when I end up skating for not even that long. 🙃 I've changed up the lacing but there's still things I was wondering if I could adjust in hope of making the BB more comfortable.
I have flat feet, so for both derby and my BBs, I need to use a rigid insole with arch support. I use Superfeet Blue insoles (thanks to a fitting at REI) and they help a TON.
@@dococtothorpe4617 Thank you so much! I'll definitely look into those soles or finding similar ones. I've been practicing less, mostly since I get disheartened about the pain later but hopefully a change of soles does the trick for me.
I've heard that zero nuts are great for those luminous wheels so you don't have to turn the regular nut around to prevent the nuts from falling off.
I would love a review about the moxi panther!
I got my bunnies past summer and gave up because my dogs were barking so bad. This video just gave me hope and some motivation! Gonna relace these bitches and visit Dr. Scholl. Thanks so much, ladies!
I just got Moxi Panthers; the length is good. The width is so snug, it's uncomfortable. Will that change after a few hours?
The insole that came with my Lollys were a no go so I went to boot barn and got the men’s insole for cowboy boots. (14.99) and I was able to cut to size 😁 best investment ever!
Just found this video (thank you!). I am debating whether I need to return my new beach bunnies. The left boot is as a dream - perfect! The right foot makes me sad because the bone by my right large toe hurts when I wear the skates (at home for now - they're new). I don't know if it's a boot fit issue or a janky bone issue. Once I adjusted the tongue it was much better but my dreamy left food makes my slightly pained right foot sad. I don't want to keep skates that hurt my bone. Thoughts? Thanks!
Hi
Thanks for this video. Where can we get those special toe cap? The rabbit one is so cute.
Do wheels come in different SHAPES as well as different sizes and hardnesses? Like, more square, more round, etc... If so, would a rounder wheel make turning easier or is that entirely a function of the trucks?
Kinda off topic but do you know how impala skates fit? I want to buy some second hand! This will be my first pair. I’m a size 5.5 sometimes 6. I have pretty narrow feet too. Hope you can help!
What wheel size did you upgrade to? They come with 78a’s too, is that not gummy enough?
If you are dealing with the long kingpin issue after upgrading your cushions you can also use nylon washers. I took my skate to the hardware store to figure out what size fit perfectly. I put 2 washers right under the metal cup that holds the bottom cushion, but above the metal washer the bunnies come with and it really made a difference.
ooh i didn’t know that! i ended up swapping out the cushion retainers and using barrel cushions on my trucks. what a neat trick- that’s great advice, thank you!
Love that lipstick!
i really wanna get some beach bunnys cause i have very little money and a big love for rollerskating but my current skates are really hard to do certain things in (even though i ADORE them) i think they might just need to be broken in a bit more but like they've been skated on about 27 hours
What kind of paint would you use on these skates?
I’m wondering what is a good all around wheel that isn’t too gummy where I can do more spins outdoors?
Could you please let me know what type of cushions you added to the beach bunnies. I have beach bunnies and have been having trouble trying to find the correct cushions that fit.
I’ve seen you wheels videos. And I still have a question 🙋♂️ I’m new to skating can you put and size wheel on you skates? My skates came with a 62mmx44mm 95A wheel. Can I put like a 80mm or a 100mm wheel on mine?
Do the heart stopper toe stops match the width of the super ball gumball stops? I like a lot of stopping surface the stock stops on the Lolly were super mall and I did not like them at all.
I put Dr Scholls arch supports in all my shoes, so yeah, skates as well. But they could make them very tight. I bought a pair of cheap skates $60 from Amazon and the screws were nearly touching the wheels. I cut the ends of the screws off with bolt cutters. They had light up wheels but sketchy feeling, probably not round and didn't roll good. Sold for $35
What is the best lace length for roller skates. I'm getting the purple beach bunny's and don't particularly like the orange laces.
I like 96” the most but if you want extra length to play with go 108”
The BB tongue really bites into the top of my foot in (only one of) the skates. I've tried different lacing patterns, thicker socks (which makes it worse), thinner socks. I don't know what to do. Help QGSK!
Hi, Peach where did you get the bunny applique, wheels, and, bearing cover. I clicked on the collab, but it's not showing the other items.
Hey! I just got my Beach Bunnies. They are digging into my shin. Is this just a breaking in issue. I loosened them up a bit, but it’s still happening. Any advice?
I stopped lacing all the way to the top until they broke in some. I used up to the first 2 hooks and tied from there.
