Skate styles
Anyone ever just sit down and write out a little bit about all the different rhythm skate styles? I did 😂 I will put some here and please join in and add things that I have missed! NY/NY - seems based in house music. Lots of pivots, trains and trios, figure 8’s, footwork on the 2,4,6 and 8 beat. Chicago- JB or James Brown. Footwork. Four corners, Big Wheel, Buckey Walk. ATL - real swaggy, ryding. Leg crossing, claps and stomps on the beat. Seems faster than the other rhythm styles except for …. Philly - Fast backwards looking over their left shoulder is their claim to fame. Cleveland - jumps! Stomping on beat (literally mesmerizing), group skating. Striding. Detroit - high kicks, intricate footwork using their toe stops, group formations. Cali - LA based. Sliding on fibers. Smooth. I like how they customize dress shoes into skates. St Louis - couple and ballroom skating. G slide DMV area - snappin. 180 degree pivots on one leg. Footwork. Like how there is someone else skating with them to support the “snap”. What’s your favorite style???

@Marisa Sa same!! I love to watch style calls at events. Eventually I need to narrow down and learn a style. I’m leaning towards St Louis .. even though I’m in New York State

@Albert Schepis lol!! I sat down and put this together myself. It’s fun to watch YouTube and the videos on the different styles too!
Seeking advice!
Hi Skate Family! For more than 10 years I’ve wanted to learn how to skate, but I kept putting it off and the desire to skate never left. Fear just kept me from starting. Not anymore. I’ve been learning from the best “SK8SHOT YouTube channel”. My skates are on the way, and I’m ready to begin. I’ll be sharing my practice—falls, progress, and all. If you have advice, please drop it below. Thank you!

Anyone who has the originals and the new 2025 edition notice any notable differences?

@Toi MissToi also they are slick but not overly. Hard to explain. They are slick enough to do moves but not slick where they are sliding out from under your feet. As a newer skater, I am TOTALLY comfortable with them. Enjoy!!

Ordered new skates about a month ago and they arrived wayyyyy earlier than expected. Beyond happy with the design and feel. Can’t wait to take my skating to the next level. On my way to the rink right now 🥳🥳🥳
