100 Days of Roller Skate School pt.2
I'm gearing up for another one! Most of you may have already seen the series. If not, then you might want to go look at my old social media videos. I'm going to do one video every day for 100 days, teaching something different about rhythm rollerskating. Drop a comment with your list of skills, drills, techniques, ideas, thoughts, and things you would like to learn.

Would love some 3-4 step combo ideas to put together foundational moves when listening to music
Skating with bunions :(
I just started skating this year and got a pair of Reidell 111s which have been a dream to learn in. But this last week, I’ve been going harder as I get more confident in my moves and my bunions have been in *pain*. I want to prevent any further injuries and can’t stand the thought of not being able to skate or having surgery 😭 Never even noticed my bunions much before skating, but apparently it’s genetic. Google suggested a couple things, but I’m wondering if anyone on here has dealt with this and has any recommendations?

@Lisa Ray thanks so much for your thoughtful response! I picked up some gel bunion pads and am going to test that and reworking my lacing this week. I’ll try a cobbler/skate shop near me next if that doesn’t work. That’s great to know about customization options through riedell. I have the black 111s thankfully, so hoping I can modify to make them last at least a year (next february). We’ll see! Thank you again 🙏🌱

Update: Thank you all again for your input! I tried the wider lacing on my black Riedell 111s + wearing the gel cushions, but it was still feeling tight and causing pain. I ended up replacing my setup with VNLA luna eclipses like suggested, and I am in love! I got the same size as my Riedells, but the VNLAs came slightly wider and bigger which is what I needed. Wearing thicker socks and my gel pads, and will eventually get an orthotic made for my boot. Still getting used to the bigger backspin eclipse wheels, but I got some good transition practice at the rink yesterday. Journey to smooth skating continues 😎
Skate Deodorizers - Linked
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. ♥️
