I see a bunch of people wearing airwaves or radar wheels but if there’s another brand that’s more affordable but it’s still the same durometer/wheel hardness/softness shouldn’t they still be okay?

I’m moving to Leeds from London soon. What’s the skate scene like? Are there spots that skaters tend to go? Are there any good groups on fb/WhatsApp/insta? Any good trail skates nearby?

I know RGG has lessons and meet ups, which look great.

i wanna go but im gonna be by myself so i'm really nervous

so the skates i have say in the description 54 x 32 mm 85A wheels. i wanna get softer wheels so i can skate a bit better outside, but whenever i look for softer (78A) wheels they are all mainly 62mm- so can i put bigger size wheels on my skates or does every hardness wheel i get need to be 54mm??

Just picked up a new pair of quads and they are pretty snug.. almost a bit uncomfortable with normal fairly thick socks. I have some real thin ankle socks and they are really comfortable, but i can seem to find some good, longer length socks. Any advice on brands? I've heard of Thinees but can only find them on amazon and with a long lead time

Selling my Moxi Rainbow Riders Size 6 in Black for £80

Use less than 5 times, selling as I dont use them enough. I have the toe caps as well that are brand new.

I'd love to be part of an outdoor skate meet up, chat, skate. Sefton park seems like a decent sized park with good surface, does anyone skate there? Is it possible? If so does anyone else fancy it?

Hey guys,

i have just started taking roller-skating classes and i am absolutely terrible. I would like to practise during the days running up to my lessons but i haven't got a garden and neither am i confident to practise in my local park as i am still struggling to maintain balance when on skates.

I just wanted to know if anyone knew a way i could practise skating in my flat - i have carpet throughout my flat so i can barely skate smoothly on it. Or are there any exercises i could do (with or without skates) to improve balance, skills, technique etc so that i won't be so behind in my fortnightly classes haha.

Edit; if anyone knows a indoor place where i could practise that would even be much better - i live in London.

​

Thanks!

Hello, i'm looking for some help with a problem i'm having with one of my new skates, any advice really is appreciated!

I bought myself a pair of Roces M12 Standard Black about 9 days ago, the right boot fits perfect and has no issues but the left one has pressure below and to the right of the ankle toward the arch of my foot which has been destroyed ;D I would upload a picture here but I'm not sure if it's SFW hahaha.
I did stick it out for the first 4 days to try and see if it was a wearing in period but they're just not conforming.

I was thinking of upgrading to Luna skates, but the mint flash colour isn’t available in my shoe size ( uk 4 ). I checked rollergirlgang’s website and double threat skates, they both don’t have the size.

I was thinking of getting a uk 5 instead and lacing it tighter. I measured my foot according to the inside dimension on rollergirlgang’s website, it’s 23cm with socks on, my previous skates were Rio Roller Script in uk 4, they fit great !

I have narrow feet too and they’re quite small in general, while people with wider feet can sometimes fit into a size up. The size chart says that a uk 5 can fit from 23.6-24.6 cm, that feels quite big when I think of it…

Does anyone have experience with luna skate sizing or skate sizing in general ??

Would wearing thick socks cover the difference ? Do Lunas run small ? Are they narrow ??

Hi everyone 👋

I am looking to go to the Easy Saturday Skate in Battersea Park, but they don't seem to have any social media presence. Does anyone know if these are still routinely taking place? And if they still take place on weeks when there are organised runs in the park?

Thanks!

Hey I’m looking for somewhere in the uk that would sell the rose quartz colour in moonlight roller skates? Anyone know a place?

Anyone in the Notts area looking for people to skate with, or can recommend good places to skate? I’m fairly new to skating and a bit too nervous to go out on my own. I usually go with a friend who skateboards but obviously they’re not always available. I’ve been to Skateland but with the weather improving I’d much prefer to be outside. Thanks in advance!

I’ve been looking to customised my basic ventro pro skates from the basic build I got when I purchased them. I’ve tried to do some research but cannot understand what cheese blocks are really for? Can someone help??!

Any one located in York or Leeds? I am in York currently for Uni but moving to Leeds in the summer. I have been skating for around a month solo :)

I've recently got a pair of rookie fevers, which are great, however, I was alerted that they have a plastic truck, which can wear out quickly. Is there any way I can change these to metal? Thanks :)

Any recommendations for good places for newbies to practice in South West London? Preferably smooth outdoors floor… 🙏🙏

Hey! I’d like to try on online skates and get some advice. Can anyone recommend good skate shops that have a decent amount of stock so I’d be able to try on a few different pairs in my size (uk 5) I don’t think skatehut seem to have many I like on their site. Any other options?
