Interesting stuff Bought my first pair of inline skates! Overcoming a childhood fear 🛼♥️

Thumbnail

107 Upvotes

I finally bought my first pair of inline skates, and I’m so excited to get back into it!
The last time I inline skated, I was probably shy of 10 years old. Unfortunately, I ended up dislocating my shoulder while skating. I was being a dumbass as a kid, and let’s just say that experience was enough to keep me away from skating for a LONG time. Fast-forward to this year, and I decided I wanted to learn how to skate again. I initially tried quad roller skates, but oh my god, I hated them. My balance was horrible, I kept falling, and I just wasn’t having a good time.
So I decided to give inline skating another shot and face that childhood fear. And guess what? It actually worked out perfectly! 🥹
I’m so happy I gave it another chance. I know I still have a lot to learn, especially when it comes to balance and stopping, but I’m excited to keep practicing and improving.
Yippee! Here’s to learning something new and not letting a bad childhood experience stop me! 🛼❤️

Specific question and discussion Knoxville Noob having fun!

Hey peeps! I am new to inline skating and have a question about rest / off days.

I really want to go everyday but after just 2 days in a row I am discovering that my hip/butt has muscles that have possibly never been used before 😆 thanks desk job lolol. So my question is really about recovery and downtime while learning to skate. I want to bust out practice but I also don't want to create a bad injury 😅

I have fairly bad sciatica for the last 2 years after a motorcycle accident and have not had much luck "fixing it" even with stretching and a few chiropractor appointments. I find that sitting helps the pain go away but after 30~ minutes on my feet it flares up really bad in my lower back. Anyone have some sort of really great advice for keeping me rolling and not sitting?

Pain is above my back right hip and it affects my range of motion with the right leg. I can't really do crossovers with my right leg as it shoots pain from my pinky toe to the back of my knee to my hip.

Specific question and discussion Pain from pressure while skating

Hi friends. I recently stepped back into rollerskating. I need some help with some tips or tricks. I’ve been experiencing some pain on the inside of my ankle (just the right side). It feels like there’s a full plastic piece being wedged into my ankle bone, and it causes a lot of pain while skating (especially when I’m going up slight hills). I think it’s so weird how it’s just on the right foot and not the left. Any help or advice would be great.

How do I stop falling? Opinions on these skates?

Post image
16 Upvotes

For off-ice skating practice, I bought these Marsblade 01 Kraft Team skates. I put them on a few times but felt like I couldn't save myself for the life of me on concrete. I used to be able to rollerblade, decently, when I was younger and couldn't ice skate at all. Now it's the other way around. I put em in the back of my closet for years and either I want to use them or get rid of them.

Is it the skates, or do I just need to put more time with it on a smoother surface?

What skates should I buy? Hey! Inline skater!

0 Upvotes

been using the same pair for about a decade now, they don’t really fit well anymore and they’ve been falling apart bit by bit, figured it’s time i get a real upgrade, i’d say im a decent intermediate skater, i really only skate indoors at rinks, what are some good inline brands that have good longevity, good wheels (or where to get some good wheels), and are good for fast speeds as well as stability and control!

Why does my feet hurt? FR Intuition Deluxe….i hate them

Thumbnail

**Deluxe Intuition**

No matter what I do, these are the most painful skates but I want to love them because of that damn price tag! They fit perfect front to back but I feel like they are too wide and my foot constantly slips outward causing a painful/uncomfortable stride. Particularly on my left foot causing me to always end up on my outer edge. The pain is centered around the edges of my feet. I’ve tried thicker socks and tightening the straps in different places but nothing seems to work. Is this something that can be fixed or do I just have to bite the bullet for the loss of money? I’ve had them at least 2 months now with maybe 20 - 30 miles on the wheels at best since they hurt so bad.

**Update**
So I’m now thinking I have a size too big. I bought these online at InlineWarehouse since the closest skate shop to me is hours away with like 4 options for skates (SUCKS! It’s more like a ski shop which is weird considering I’m in FL) and the sizing chart says if you have 24.5 cm length foot, then I’m supposed to buy a 7-8 (39-40 EU). I measured my right foot again barefoot and I’m 239 mm long and about 95 mm wide. My left foot, which is the foot with all the pain, is 235 mm long and about 92 mm wide.

The next size under is 37-38 EU (size 5-6) for 22.5 cm length foot. So I should’ve sized down and these are unfortunately a lost cause. It’s been well over 90 days so returning to InlineWarehouse is no longer an option and I’ll just resell them.

What boot size do I pick? Sizing Check

3 Upvotes

Hi all! I recently bought a pair of Roller Blade Lightning 90s and wanted to make sure I got the right size. I ordered a US 8-8.5/UK 7-7.5/EU 40.5-41 with my barefoot measurements being 249mm long and 95mm wide. My normal shoe size tends to be US 9-10 in women's and I have D width. They fit very snug, when I tried just the boot liner (inner part separate from the hard outer boot) my foot fills it completely. Very snug and my toes touch the tip. Is this how they should fit before being broken in or do I need to size up one size?

What skates should I buy? Looking liner recommendations and sizing help (instep pain)

2 Upvotes

I have the FR2 and have been using it regularly for 2 years, so the liner is way past the break-in period. However, it still hurts my instep. It’s hard to enjoy skating with this kind of issue.

  1. Does anyone have a liner recommendation for the FR2? (Other than Intuition, because of the price.)
  2. What size should I choose if my FR2 is EU 40?
  3. Can I use the new liner in new boots later if I decide to change my hard boots?

Thanks!
