If you ever have the time in the future could you please do a tutorial on how to change the wheels on quad skates :-) ?

@SkatePro 6 лет назад

Yes. We will add to our to-do list for future videos!

I typically go down a size when picking out skates :/

@ashikana21 4 года назад

Crossovers are way easier with a low cut boot!

@Carol_143 4 года назад

Are those shorts available to purchase?

@brexpeep 5 лет назад

Another thing is you might want outdoor wheels too, because sometimes you wanna skate outside, and you'd ruin your indoor wheels if you use them outside.

@itzelluna4434 6 лет назад

What if mine has a little bit of heel.. is that bad? I mean Im new to this so im just gonna start practicing not there yet

@SkatePro 6 лет назад

Hi - thanks for you comment. First of all a little bit of heel is not bad - your weight will be a little bit more on your toes, meaning you have more of your balance on the front of your foot. However, it's not something we see a lot of in roller derby, here people usually want a more flat and responsive skate setup. But as a start you will be fine with the heel - then when you get the hang of the skating and involve to practice roller derby we will recommend a skate that is made for roller derby. I hope this answers your question - otherwise just ask and we'll try to help you.

When choosing my skate size, I found that going to size up or using my exact shoe size the skates were very large. I wear a size 7 1/2 women’s went to a size 6 still too big going to a men’s 5🤷🏾‍♀️ possibly. All in all using my exact shoe size was not good for my feet too much room. Is that normal?

@SkatePro 6 лет назад

Hi there, It's very normal that skate sizes are not the same as shoe sizes. You need around 0,5cm extra space for some extra comfort, otherwise it would be too tight! :)

@akekestory493 3 года назад

What do you think about the low budget roller derby STR 7 skates

@its__Ev 3 года назад

That's what I'm trying to research right now too. It's really hard since the brand name is roller derby and roller derby is an entire sport. I have some rollerblades from them that are the same brand but obviously that doesn't quite compare.

@NinaNina-tm4uq 5 лет назад

What about the heels that some skates have? In roller derby, do the boots have to be flat or is it okay to have a small heel?

@SkatePro 5 лет назад

Hi Nina, the heel gives you an easier forward motion so that's preferable for some skaters :) I would say that it could help you out with the roller derby :)

@NinaNina-tm4uq 5 лет назад

@@SkatePro alright, thank you

@bellz3651 5 лет назад

I find it easier to use my lime skates but would like to try derby at some point or simply ne able to dance in my skates too❤ most people wear this oldschool type of rollerblade what should I choose to ride around in and maybe even use for derby too

@gummybear41283 6 лет назад

what about outdoor wheels???

@SkatePro 6 лет назад

Hi Bob. We didn't cover outdoors wheels in the video since derby is mostly played indoor. However, if you have already asked about outdoors wheels, it would be good to find a wheel with a diameter around 78A! Have a great day.

I’m a intermediate moxi skater, and I’m signing up for Junior roller derby soon. And I don’t think you can bring moxi’s. So I need a good pair of roller derby skates.

@xxth3plagu3d0ctorxx 2 года назад

So I don’t know if I’d recommend most moxis they are a very soft material typically (suede), or drum dyed vinyl. I have the rainbow riders, and they are nice for skating it the rink but they are my pretty skates. I wouldn’t want to expect them to be secure in a contact sport. Also the paint scratched after a pretty good fall.

Hello can any one let me know how I can buy roller Derby skates m from India

@TC-fg4gz 4 года назад

Maybe buy skates from Decathlon, they ship overseas. They don't stock roller skates at the Decathlon India website so you will have to buy from the dot com store www.decathlon.com/search?query_history=%5B%22Roller%20skates%22%5D&q=Roller%20skates&category_history=%5B%5D&sorting=natural|DESC

@kaarinapolly2293 6 лет назад

What is the difference between roller derby skates and moxi roller skates?

@SkatePro 6 лет назад

Hi Kaarina. Moxi skates are more like a lifestyle skate with a high top boot and a higher heel - where derby skates are typically low cut and more flat heel. So the weight distribution is different from the Moxi to a typical derby skate. But it depends on brand and model. Hope this answers your question?

@kaarinapolly2293 6 лет назад

SkatePro it does! Thank you very much. 😊

@ayasreviewsandtoycolection7148 6 лет назад

Kaarina Polly rollerskates are intended for just that, rollerskating. Derby skates tend to be more for speed skating which roller derby skating tends to be faster. As for the difference between the moxi rollerskates and other manufacturers skates, it's the pricing. I would look around different places before just buying from moxi. I will NOT be willing to spend $300+ dollars for a pair of regular rollerskates KNOWING I can get the same skates for $60-90 at skatepro.com. I'm just pointing it out that I find it RIDICULOUSLY expensive for a company to charge $300 for basic skates.

@kaarinapolly2293 6 лет назад

At the end I realized that I'm more of a inline urban skater. Got a pair of 125mm triskates powerslide megacruiser pro & rollerblade twister 80.
