Whoa, whoa, hold on! You're getting ahead of me here... should I be waddling like a penguin, or like a duck?

[@PollySkates]

Best question ever! I say whatever feels better ☺️ I go back and forth

You got ice skates! I got my first pair since I was a kid just a couple weeks ago! They're hockey skates (Bauer X4s) with a 10' radius, so they're taking some getting used to. It's so humbling, I had to get on my inlines just to feel like I can skate again, but I'm having fun learning (except when I fall - butt bruises are a real thing). I'm hoping to get good enough to go to a hockey camp in June. Have fun!

Do you have any advice for people that have shorts and wide feet. And exactly what is meant to feel right when you are buying your new inline skates and how tired they meant to make your feet feel and not what it's not ment to feel if you've done it too tired? For beginners, as it's very scary as you try to work out. If you've done everything wrong when you Ve gone to a proper scape sharp, or you've put your foot in pain. Or what's the right pain that you meant to be feeling?

I’m not sure if I’m too heavy or if my wheels aren’t tight enough but I struggle to start rolling!

My toxic trait is being confident I can cover in record time the 20 mile distance from my place to the courthouse for work every day in 10 am peak traffic, all on the basis that I used to skate in middle school and haven't skated for more than a decade now💀💀💀

Why do rollerblades have the brake on the back but roller skates have the brake on the front?

[@PollySkates]

Good question!
