It was pushing 2 months not making it to the rink. Sunday it’s 1-5pm. We got there at 1, place was empty, and I love it that way! Around 2-3pm the birthday parties, and all the pipers (that’s what I call the pvc things the kids use!) Normally we would leave, I couldn’t. Stayed till 5pm. I miss it. Also only the second time getting these Riedells on the floor. Man they are so day and night to the Sure Grip Fame. When I first get out on the floor, the Riedells feel as if they are controlling my feet, instead of me controlling my skates! They feel like they just go wherever by themselves! And I know it’s not just me. My wife has the same setup, was also her second time on hers, and she’s came and told me the same thing, both times! After maybe 30 minutes to an hour we get somewhat “comfortable” But for me, it’s already done messed me up mentally from trying to do anything I’ve learned, or worked on at the tennis court😒 So there’s the story, now the question… WHAT IS IT?! Is it our balance, muscle memory, or what? TIA Riedell 120 boot Reactor neo plate Bones 57mm/101a

Hey everyone! My name is Damien Tomlinson. I am born and raised in Kansas City Missouri. Currently a class A truck driver. Skated as a kid. And when I say skated as a kid I mean I just went in circles, maybe some speed skating. And the speed skating I’m meaning is they would give a few minutes for whoever wanted to go as fast as they could. I didn’t know anything about Dance/Rhythm/JB AT ALL back then. Upon searching on YouTube for what would be a good pair of skates for me to get as a beginner I ran across a “LA ROLL” video… HOOKED🤦🏽‍♂️ My favorite skaters I like to watch, and follow on YouTube are Malik Thomas, Bobby “King” West, Milwaukee24 Sk8Fam, Push, Diamond Walker, and of course Sk8Shot! January 2024 I decided to pick it back up as just “something to do” with the family. My wife, and daughters all 3 have rollerblades. So it was simple, if I get skates, we can all go skating. Well… I got skates. And the addiction came fast! Wheels, bearings, plates, laces, jam plugs, etc. Converted wife to quads instantly (so now everything is x2 $$$) when she saw me “kinda” groovin on mine at the rink! I chose the Sure Grip Fames, she chose the Sure Grip Boardwalks. We were swapping out wheels from rink, to outdoors every week. It got old real quick! Talking to people, and researching I found we needed some better quality skates for indoors. Now it’s #TEAMRIEDELL for us both. 120 boot, Reactor plates, 57mm Team Bones wheels. Sure Grips for us both are now our outdoor setups. I’ve already learned a lot in 3 months, which absolutely drives me to want to learn more. So far I’ve taught myself how to skate backwards, scissor pivots (With KJ’s help), pivots on/with both skates, and some single leg pivoting (I can only do on left leg/skate), and maybe a few more things I can’t think of at the moment! Looking forward to learning how to really get down on 8’s. LETS ROLL Sk8Shot! #KCROLL
