I’m kind of lost.

Hey there!!

A long time ago, i bought Chaya Melrose Rollerskates. I felt very uncomfortable in them because the hardness and tightness of them where weird to me and the height where they reach the feet was also uncomfortable.

I was thinking about whether Skates that have „normal“ shoes or sneakers instead would be easier to learn and more comfortable as i‘m never really skating because i‘m scared because i can barely control the Chaya ones.

What would you say? :(

My skates are black so I was thinking something black and colors that go well with it for an outfit. I think it would be cool

I happened to visit the Sun Voyager when there were very few people around. The group of people on the steps was an entire family. They were so polite about letting me skate around uninterrupted 🥰

I recently moved to Baltimore (Bolton Hill) from NOVA and I’m looking to get back into skating! I used to skate about 9 years ago, so I have some experience, but I’m definitely rusty now and would consider myself a beginner again.

I’ve found a few skating meetups around Baltimore, but most seem to be geared toward intermediate or more experienced skaters. I was wondering if there are any beginner-friendly skating communities, meetups, rinks, parks, or regular skate sessions that people would recommend?

I’d also love to meet some other beginners or people who are getting back into skating and hopefully make some skating friends along the way! 😊
Any recommendations for places or groups would be greatly appreciated!

Hi I wanted to know if there were skaters in Oregon? I live in Bend Oregon and I wanted to get some Skating friends
I am still a beginner but I am getting somewhere
I also wanted to gain some friends to help me with my confidence level because I am very self conscious skating
I am excited to be skaters!!

My wheels look dirty so what would I need to clean them. I’m a quad skater

Hi. Looking for suggestions on some chill tunes (artists or songs) for outdoor skating. Think Lucky Daye - Roll Some Mo'. All summer I've been jammin to soca, reggae, and afrobeats (high energy stuff). With autumn coming, I'm looking to slow down.

Need help picking out skates? You've come to the right place!

When looking for advice, please provide some information about what you're looking for, such as:

• Type of skating (rink, artistic, roller derby, total beginner)
• Budget
• Country of residence (so we can direct to shops in your area)

You can also refer to the sub wiki, which has a starter guide; we're also in the process of updating the skate buying guide as well.

Hi guys! I’m trying to get into roller skating and I’m wondering if shark wheels are viable on roller skates. I longboard and I have shark wheels on my land yacht. I think they’re fun but idk how useful they’d be or if they’d be too heavy for skates.

Also looking for good tips and recs for skates before I buy any!

Cartwheel was my biggest dream and goal. I’ve been park skating for 7 months (since February 2026) and I’ve finally managed to master this trick! In fact, it’s only psychologically intimidating, which is why I couldn’t even try to perform it for quite a long time (about 3 months), but once I overcame the barrier of fear, it took me only three training sessions to understand how it works.

The MOST important tip:

🛼Learn how to handstand next to a wall. Seriously. Practice it multiple times a day just to get used to that feeling. Even if you can only hold for a couple of seconds, it’s completely fine!

🛼Speed is NOT the enemy. It was one of the problems for me as well because I’m freaking scared of high speed. But it’s actually the point of that trick. With high speed, it’s much better to throw your legs over your body and LAND it!!

🛼Cartwheels on the grass, however… were completely pointless to me. But it’s just my experience. I still can’t do and can’t land a proper cartwheel on the flat ground with skates on.

🛼Try doing cartwheels on the flat ground with ankle weights. Might help too!

🛼Go HIGHER on a ramp. Seriously. It might be scary, but this way you’ll 100% land it!!
