What’s up Skate Fam! Welcome to the community. Thrilled to have you here. Take a sec to introduce yourself, doesn’t have to be fancy or complicated. Just be yourself. …ill go first. 👋🏽My name is Knejie Allen. I’ve been skating for 10 years. Currently rolling in custom Riedell 3200s w and arius plate and probably some slick wheels (95A+). Im in Kansas City and own a Skate school, SK8SHOT Studios.

Good morning All, my name is Angie and I am new here. Beginning my skating journey and excited to learn and make some friends!

Hey everyone! I was showing @Knejie Allen some deodorizers that I got for my skates and wanted to share the link with everyone. They’re called Boot Bananas and they soak up moisture/deodorize your skates. You just put them in after each session. The bananas turn brown as they start to fill with moisture. Once they’re fully “ripe” (brown) you toss them and get a new set. They smell like a mix of herbs, not banana. 🛼🍌 Amazon link below - they’re $20: https://a.co/d/0f5kjeIl Happy skating everyone! I’m working on my crossovers right now, trying to find the confidence in moving and stepping. ♥️

Suzy was great! Got me and bf hooked up with some outdoor wheels so we can enjoy the asphalt! Never changed wheels so we got a very patient lesson.Again thank you community for getting me there!

We had a great call going over some of what I consider to be, the fundamentals of roller skating. I felt the need to explain the fundamentals because it's what I teach every week in all my beginner classes, and it applies to even the more advanced skills skaters are trying to develop. I thought this would be useful for the most amount of people. I focus on three main concepts in this lesson, which are: - Edges - Weight distribution - Weight transfer from one foot to the other When you understand some of these key concepts, then you start to understand what you're doing with your body or what someone else is doing when you're watching and trying to learn from someone else. That helps you focus and duplicate more effectively. I give examples for beginner levels and advanced levels, and some drills on how to practice it and explanations on understanding it. Tell me what y'all think.
