- USE CODE "INDYSQUAD" FOR DISCOUNT ON WORLD'S COOLEST SKATE SHOES: www.flaneurz.c... The Rio Roller Script skate seems to be EVERYWHERE in my ads these days. Reviews I've found online say they are a good beginner skate, but I'm skeptical. Watch as I try em on my own feet and give my honest reaction.
Rio Roller: amzn.to/3BF8tyx
I love when people doing reviews are open to their initial impressions being altered by actually testing the product. That open mindedness is rare nowadays. 🙂
I like to imagine there’s a kiddo somewhere that opened these up on their birthday and are SO EXCITED to skate and this is all they have and they’re GOING FOR IT. Haha i hate to tell people their skates are no bueno without giving them the best chance possible.
@@INDYJAMMAJONES love your drive and attitude👌🔥🤗
I have those exact ones haven’t had that much issues with them but my feet did hurt after skating for a long period of time but found that wearing thick winter socks really helps
Same ♡
i had rollerskates from amazon they broke in an instant never again will i ever get rollerskates from amazon companies they didint even tighten the truck on right it broke and i got Hurt badly omg ( suckish skates
i have them too, i just double up or triple up on socks if i plan to use them for more than an hour. i don't know why but i prefer to use then outdoors than indoors, they are a little too slippy for me when i use them indoors, even on carpet. maybe i need new wheels for them as i've had them for over a year and skate regularly 🤔
@@zorominaj yeah I think it does need new wheels
Hi, I have a q, I'm about to purchase roller skates but I wonder, do you sweat in them like in inline, hardboot skates?
I actually have wide feet and they are very comfortable. I bought them in a physical (skate) shop though, so that helped with getting the right size. I never had the "not rolling straight" problem either. I think they are great cheap starting skates.
Have you tried changing the bushings? It might not be the problem here, but very often helps a lot.
My Daughter has wider feet and worked in a roller rink with this particular Rio skate for a year and they were great - not painful at all.
They are still going strong and for the price they are great quality.
I already have my roller skates, but for some reason I still like watching these reviews. It's neat to see what's out there
Right! And it also helps if u know ppl who want to start skating but don't know which skates to buy
Same!
What kind do you have?
@@divinebeautybizbydaniellem2204 I bought beach bunnies last fall!
I bought them a year ago when I wanted skates, and didn't have enough money for higher end skates. I'm still begginer so I'll make the most out of them and switch up
I got these same skates about a year ago as a starter skate. I knew they weren't going to be as great quality because of the lower price but I figured as a starter skate they would be fine. At first they where quite narrow but after using them for a few weeks they started to fit me better. I would recommend getting better parts. If you can wait and save up for better quality skates that's what I would recommend but if not I dont think these skates would be a bad choice.
I got them for Christmas and I’m nervous about them but I’m not really a full skater i just like to go and skate not often enough to get really expensive skates tho 😅
I bought them one year ago and they work good for me. I used my skate tool to deal with the wheels and trucks and it changed everything. They spin really well and it’s possible to do spins and so on.
Super informative!! I've subscribed as requested because your last review on the Chaya Melrose inspired me to trade up from my Impalas that I started with. Love how thorough you are and so transparent too!
Yay I hope you like your new skates!
I have the rio signature and I love them for dance skating I have very wide feet so I have them bar laced. I don't notice any pull but I do have my trucks super loose.
Hey INDY! You really inspired me to get back into roller skating again! (I received a pair of roller skates when I was about 7) I saw your Chaya Melrose Review, and I am on the track of getting them for Christmas!!! Thank you for your inspiring and amazing content!
Me too! I used to love skating as a kid and would go out everyday from the age of 8 to12. Thirty years later, thinking of starting again as a 2022 New Years Resolution.
I had Rio skates for my first and second pair. (Limited Flower edition and the script) At that time I did not know about the Rio's quality but with them I learned a lot the basic stuff. And then I upgraded to moxi skates, Chaya Billie jean and Edea boots with roll line plates.
I think if you want to buy your first skates but you are not sure if you continue skating for long time, Rio skates are still ok to buy.
If you are sure that you skate as your hobby, do not buy them. I would recommend better skates.
Living for your reviews!!! As a rollerskate coach myself I always suggest Rookie Classics for beginners since they aren't too expensive and have a great quality in my opinion! Maybe you could review them? In Germany they only cost 110 euros
please review moonlight rollerskates, there are almost no reviews on this skate. i paid almost $400 CAD (after taxes) for mine and im pretty sure they came with a generic plate. would love your opinion.
There's tons of reviews on that skate
These were my first skates - I've got really wide feet and they've always been super comfortable for me.
Would love to see you try out the rookie artistics💙🤘 they’re fairly popular in the uk but I don’t see many in depth reviews of them 💜
I have the Rio signatures which fit my wide feet pretty well so narrowness is a model feature rather than a brand one. Mine also have an adjustable rubber toe stop.
Started out on these and they were fine to me. Changed the bearings and wheels and after that they were really nice to roll on (just trailskating)! Never had any issues with the bushings/pulling to the side, so I never changed those. For me the boot started out as a good fit (narrow feet), but they got wider with use and were a bit on the large side for me after some months. Never experienced having any blisters, even with regular sneaker socks.
Changed them out for Luna's, which are nearly double the pricepoint, and are incredibly comfy and a better fit, so I feel I have much more control now. I do prefer those, but I'm keeping my Rio's as back-up. They're not bad at all (at least mine aren't). Your left boot looked a bit odd as well, so might've been a faulty one? 🤔
Could you please review the Luna roller skates? I bought a pair and I love them so I would like to share the joy of the Luna skates. Nobody as professional and popular as you have reviewed the Luna.
When you talked about the trucks being closer together, that hit deep with the Lunas vs the Impala. I was so used to the nice balance from the Impala that when I got my Lunas I could barely stand in them. The Luna trucks are soooooooo much closer than the Impalas!!! For real, nobody has beginner guides on that! A video on the various plate and truck distance would be fantastic as well! Nobody tells you about that when you're first starting out. I'm still struggling with the balance difference.
Okay I’m dying bc when you said “my moustache is sweating” and did a lil *dab* *dab*
I felt that hahah
I've had these a long time ago and after just 3 months the boot ripped off the base and the boot is really stiff so I had a lot of issues with blisters... Never had other safety problems but for beginners I always recommend skates with more padding so it's more comfortable
I have old rio roller flats from like 2016 and I love them. Obviously they’re a different style to this and I find them a little bit heavy but for skates I bought simply to have fun and practice with they do the trick. I still use them even in 2022 like they’re 8 years old and still going strong with all their original parts. I would like to invest in a better pair of skates soon. But for now my rios do the trick
I had the same issue with my impalas that’s why I upgraded. I was so frustrated as a beginner skater, I thought I was the issue but it was my wonky skates pulling me to the side and causing me to trip over myself.
I've got the scripts in the peach and teal combo. I've got very wide feet and ordered a size bigger. I put a nice insole in, changed the laces to some teal ones... I've got my trucks tight but that's because I like them that way. The wheels are great for skate rinks indoors.
I actually learned a lot of what I can do on skates on these ones. Mine didn't have the problem with going sideways, maybe it's an error with your specific set of skates, I've seen that happen before with other brands
I have Rio Roller signatures and they are sooooooooo nice to skate! I've had this with skateboards and it happens when a bushing is deformed. Rios are fine, sadly this review didn't do the brand justice.
I feel the same about this review.
My daughter worked in a roller rink , wore these skates for a year and she’s pretty advanced. She’s still wearing the same pair on the local skate park and she can do advanced moves in them.
She has changed out the wheels and bearings but the skates are great for the price, especially for those who can’t afford Moxi skates.
To be honest, the Rios look more sturdy than the Moxi skates - it looks like the suede can wear out pretty quickly.
@@queenofhearts6127 totally. And don't forget that some of the rental roller skates here in the UK are Rio Rollers, my local roller rink in Nottingham rents out Rios and they last for years as abused rentals.
I hate that I bought some Rio Signatures for what was a small fortune for me only to find out they're not actually very good or trustworthy. Amazing that a "cheap" pair of skates still runs at over $140USD.
So I bought these exact skates just a fortnight ago. I wear a womens UK 7.5/US 10 and found it really hard to get any other brand in my size that would not cost me the earth and seeing as I am only a beginner on Quads (I've had more experience on Inlines and have an Impala pair) I found I'd do some research. I hunted for reviews but just found unboxing videos made by fellow beginner Quad skaters.
I'm so glad you have made a review on them. In all honesty, for me, so far so good..
The.UK 8 ended up being a little big but I put a sports insole inside, a UK 7 would definitely have been too snug.
The boot is pretty hard and caused bruising on my shins the first few days but I ended up wearing two pairs of socks and like I say, so far I'm happy but again I'm only a beginner 😊
Don't know what we would do without you indyyyy love your content ❤
It’s hard to get skates in the UK, Rio roller seems to be the main brand apart from Moxie or Rookie skates which I was told by another skater not to buy. Then most things are cheaper versions found on Amazon etc. I found as someone with bigger feet (I wear a UK 8) that your choices are narrowed further. I ended up with a hard boot because it had enough decent reviews (Ventro Pro Turbo with 82A light up wheels, from a smaller company) and I didn’t know the difference with hard/soft boots. I do wonder if they are any decent. Seem okay so far but like you said as a beginner what do you really know!
Chaya are an European brand and are pretty good.
I'm starting in Rookies (France) which were recommended by intermediate gals at the skate park for me as a newbie, and they're doing the trick so far. I notice that coincidentally, all the fellow beginner ladies at my roller club have Rookie skates too!
It's not hard to get skates in the UK at all. The UK, like the rest of the world, had a skate shortage during the skate boom of the pandemic but this has eased now. I'll agree its harder to find a brick and mortar shop to try before you buy but they are about and if you are prepared to travel then it's not impossible. I travelled 2 hours to try on some Chaya's. And there are certainly a lot more brands here than just Rio, Rookie and Moxi! I currently skate in Bauer quad conversions on SG Rock plates (huge number of UK skaters have Bauers, Bauer quads are part of UK skate culture) and Edea Classica's on Roll Line plates. Please don't give the wrong impression of the skate market in the UK. It is huge and varied. I do agree that with bigger feet your choice is narrowed, but that only really applies to crappy fashion skates. Also in terms of skate size, even though you're a UK 8, you'd be surprised to find that you'd probably fit a smaller skate in some brands. Rio 'trainer' style boots like the Rio Varsity come up really big so you'd probably fit a size 7 in those.
@@katelanchbury4848 if you had to travel 2 hrs to try on some skates I'd say it's hard to find skates here😂. Yes, in the UK many skaters convert Bauer's, but apart from I'd say three websites, most skates are on Amazon and if it's not the abundance of no-name skates then the main brands found is between Rio roller, rookie, moxi and LMNADE. Any others (Edea and the rest) never seem to have available sizes or component parts to create your own skates. That's been my experience.
The main UK trend seems to be to convert ice hockey boots to roller skates or to get something that looks like a hockey boot (Ventro Pro Turbo). This is the classic 90s HUGE skate look that's still going strong in the UK... There's a tonne of places to buy custom Ventros or converted hockey boots with a tonne of options for exactly the parts you want.
Having said that though, it isn't hard to get skates in all styles in the UK (you don't have to go for the old fashioned 90s hockey boots), the online shops tend to be super helpful and many provide you with detailed sizing guides as well as free returns for exchanges.
FWIW, the Rio Rollers are fine and the issue that Indy experienced is not the norm. Rio Roller makes some of the most popular rental skates for roller discos in the UK and roller discos use these super tough and reliable skates for years! Rio Roller is a solid and proper skate brand that caters to the budget market with decent products, don't let this review put you off.
I have the rio signatures and I will say the boot breaks in. According to the shop I bought them from here in the EU, You are supposed to take the sole pad out, break them in and then replace the sole. My trucks don’t pull but I also have a different model.
I dont even have to watch all of this as i came in to this with my own opinions.
Only 2 weeks ago down the local skate park i had to stop a kid about 10 years old from thinking she could just droping in even though she could not skate flat ground competently but once i jumped up on the platform to talk her out of it and suggested she try learning how to pump from the bottom of the half pipe, i found that the heel of the boot had already tore away from the actual heel and helped her down from the platform and told her to head to her mum as i grabbed my skate bag .
I introduced myself to mum and asked her how long had she had the skates for?
Mum said 3 months but she loves them but she had enrolled her in classes at the local rink and they would not let her use her own skates.
She had to use the rink skates and she hated how heavy their skates are so she never continued past lesson 2 .
I had bring to her attention that her skates are a broken bones or worse waiting to happen and her daughter needs safty gear and supervision too. .
Her daughter was going to attempt a 6" drop in with broken skates , no safty gear and no experience.
I gently suggested It might be time to wind up the skate park session as its only that another adult stopped her from trying to kill herself on the ramps with broken gear.
The tear in the heel could completely come away any min now and best she invest in some better skate asap if she loves it so much and a decent pair will be heavier like the ones at the rink unless she is willing to drop some serious cash on the next pair but as kids feet are always growing, start looking for a better quality pair second hand and the rink may be able to help you out there by putting the word out to anyone that dose lesson there regularly.
Someone may have a good pair that they have grown out of for sale.
A pair that they will allow on the local rink.
The young girl did not want to take them off and insisted on skating , mum did not help the matter so i grabbed a roll of gaffer tape out of my kit and taped the boot back on to the heel and then taped the both skates , the whole boot to the plates and said toher mum , you may need to cut her out of them when you get home and pop them straight in the bin when you get them off.
There was no repairing these.
They where buggered.
They are a toy and unsafe.
I would not even concider these to be entry-level skates.
If you actually like your kids, dont get them a pair of rio rollers, they are death traps.
Omg, I love that the kid loves to skate BUT to not have safety equipment, at least a helmet is nuts!!
This ain't the 1980's.
Dude!!! You filmed this in Galveston!! This is where I live!! Aww I had no idea!! I would have totally stopped by if saw y’all!!
Jackson vista vipers!! I LOVE mine but there are next to no reviews on these skates
Love your channel. You've taught me so much. I'm so glad I listened to you and didn't get a pair of dolls kills. Literally, the clue is in the name, they warn you of what could happen. I haven't skated since I was a child growing up in the 80-90's. Back in those days, safety wasn't a thing. Thank you for all your information ❤️
I skate on the exact ones for 4 months, replaced to energy wheels & bond bearings.. really loved them! (Never tire a skate park, just jamming and outside skating)
I just got mine recently, did changing the wheels and bearings help a lot?
@@MminaMaclang i skated on the original wheels for a month (they're ok for beginners...I managed to learn a lot of skills, also, didn't get any bruises)..u don't have to change them
@@Nicolehers Thank you!
Mine go in a straight line and I got full control and tbh they make me feel really comfortable I don’t know why that happened to urs , tbh best pairs I’ve gotten
Thanks for this video. Can you do a review on Rookie artistic skates please?
I had the Signatures, and they were not pulling. Maybe the pivot cup was not in the right place? I liked mine and learned a lot in them. What I disliked was the short wheelbase (I have a UK 5/EUR 38) and the base is a lot shorter than on a Variant M or Powerdyne Reactor. And yes, they are narrow.
My mustache is sweating 😂❤️ new sub and already loving you !
I bought the signature version of these with the adjustable toe stop and I hated the boot too but I did quite like the plate and trucks. They are really soft but I find that quite fun and they are now bolted to my Bauer hockey boots. I would say they are a bit too soft for someone just starting out, progress would be slow!
I did the same with my Signatures (the ones with adjustable toe stops), heated the boots and shaped them to my feet. Super happy with these skates!
Can you review chuffed rollerskates??
You uploading this video a week and two days after I got mine. 😂😂😂 Can't wait for the future when I feel like I'm advanced enough and ready to upgrade my gear and feel great with new ones if they really do feel super different.
it could be problem with her particular pair. You can change the bushings with good ones, usually it helps a lot.
you are going to level up faster learning on these then :)
when you get into a moxi or other boot you'll be so good already and float on your wheels~
Heyy is there any way u can review skates that are $50 to$80 because I want a good pair of skates cheap cause I don't have much money to spend and I want something I can trust
I learned how to skate on these and Yeah it was great to upgrade to better skates after a couple of months but by changing the wheels, bearings and bushings I actually didn’t think they were too bad to learn on at all, esp because all those parts I now use on my other skates so it’s not wasted money
And I didn’t want to spend too much on a pair when I didn’t know if i was gonna like it
Good review though, because a lot of the things you mentioned can really only be told if you can compare them to other skates or know how they should feel like
I have Rio Rollers and as a re-learn to skate person I have struggled.
Got the Black and Rose Gold Rio Rollers - found them to be a good entry level skate. The wheels are ok for outdoor use. After adjusting the trucks and putting in a shorter toe stop I could do more with them. Borrowed a pair of hard wheels for indoor use, and that’s been a game changer for me. I’ve got a size a tiny bit bigger - and I wear two pairs of socks, so they are ok comfort wise, but I do get toe cramp sometimes. Now that Ive done a whole load of practicing and learning new things I really am keen to get a pair of Moxis!
First, I love your videos, thank you for teaching us, I admire you🥺🤩
I admire her too! She’s so cool! 🥺🛼❤️💖
Dawwww you two 🥰
I have Rio roller SFR skates and I've been wondering why I'm not progressing like my friends. I've had them with regular use for 4 ISH months. And the wheels don't roll of I spin them, even now. I've loosened them and then the wheels wobble. Or completely slip out. I have to lean forward so much or I go backwards immediately. And when I take corners I keep going straight and the trucks don't move when I lean... So safe to say, I'm getting new skates this weekend haha.
Sorry for the 2 years later comment lol! I am going through this with these now. Exactly what you said. I loosened everything up & now I feel like my progress is going backwards because it is too loose, but any tighter & I just don’t move lol. Please can I ask what skates you ended up going for?
@Chloepickle15 I ended up getting candi girl skates. But then upgraded to moxi panthers.
Moxie panthers were worth the money for me. But candi girl and chaya Melrose delux and pro are also good budget options. Hope this helps x
@@BlackRibbonTV thank you for the reply, have a great weekend!
I think that you should review C7 skates, I had some I just want to see what you think about them.
Hi
I have similar rip rollers in UK size 9, second hand and fit well for my wide feet.
And I'm a UK size 9 in normal footwear too.
Interesting review.
I'm new to skating so can't compare my feet in other skates yet.
The boot does seem stiff, but again I can't compare to out skates yet.
I'm just glad my feet don't hurt in them.
They came with soft wheels for outdoors on them, but I also have original wheels too.
I wanted to get another brand, but they were not available in my size.
I think your right about the toe stop quality.
I feel ok in my skates, just working on my balance and stopping.
Not sure what is going on with your skate trucks?
Who else went "Mine Mine Mine" when they saw the birds on the dock? no one?...just me? ok
Hahaha I actually do this all the time! Not just when there are birds around either lol
@@INDYJAMMAJONES Yaay! I'm not alone! hahaha!
This comment makes me want to watch finding Nemo and Dory
I wonder if the hot temperature is affecting how the cushions react? My regular skates sometimes do feel more squirly (is it squirrelly? or swirly?) on a super-hot day.
A lot of people here use the entry level derby skates as their first learner/recreation/trail skates, could you review and compare those? Like, the Dart, R3, Rebel, GT-50 kind of level
Open minded review really enjoyed watching. I have to say i have been skating with my rose rio rollers for a year now and i have not altered anything from the day i got them. The only problem is the wheel type, not for outdoors. It will change your experience if you do test adjustments and consider outdoor wheels (airwaves, flash etc)
Could u possibly review the rookie star skates they seem like great skates
I'm not sure if you already did Rookie Artistic but they are around the same price point and UK based as well. Hope you can make a review about it!
hello! could you do a honest review from the „MADIVO“ Roller skates please? Love u🥰
I bought a different bit very similar pair as you have. And all the negative things i noticed, you pointed out too. My left skate kept pulling, they were very stiff and uncomfortable. I am a beginner skater so it was very nice hearing from someone with experience. It makes me want to try skating again with a different pair so thank you
I actually wanted to buy this one, but I changed my mind after watching your video, so thank you for the help!
I use Rio roller skates!!! My feet hurt after a while but have no problems with them💕
Will you check out Jackson Finesse Skates? I'd like to get your take on them.
Thank you for this review. I'm convinced now to save up to the high quality like Moxi Lolly and especially I have wide feet so yes.
If it pulled to the left it might be a good skating rink skate.
"My mustache is sweatin" lol
Not that im a hater but I have had these skates for a while like a year and in the begining they were not so good but after half a week to a week your foot adjusts to them and they are fine no offence and when you go straight put some weight foward but these are actulay great I can do alot of tricks on to hope this helps!
I have the Rio Roller Milkshake and they are my first skates. They are awesome and they are fiting perfectly. From then I'm buying only Rio's. I tried the others and they hurt horribly. The Rio's are the best skates! And bdw, Rio's have ruber wheels!!!
These were my first outdoor skates after the cheapo generic bottom of the line Chicago skates ((with plastic wheels)) this was a huge upgrade for me and helped me to get confident on skates outdoors. I had always skated indoors up until a few years ago. Anyways, it was all I could afford initially and I will always be grateful for my rio scripts! Also I switched out the bearings and wheels and that was obviously a huge game changer :)
Thank you for the most genuine review and very friendly contents that it is so hard to find from another RUclipsrs. Already subscribed! Thank you and Happy new year!
Hello Indy, I have these skates and the brand is Pretty fly. I used them to go to the skating rink on my birthday (oct 15) and they were actually pretty good in my first impression. The wheels were durable and the trucks looked like nylon but I don’t think think they caused me a problem, but I think they’re worth reviewing.
I got a pair of xudrez cowhide quads and the wheels at first felt like super plasticy. After using the skates I felt the wheels again and they were actual rubber material. It did say their hardness before purchase. To me I like the Xudrez cowhides.
this is my new favorite series from u!
It looks like the plates aren’t centered? The wheels from above don’t look even. I wonder if that could be the reason they are pulling? Just a thought.
Plates don't have to be centered, they go a bit to the inside of the foot
I liked them a lot more after a couple weeks of having them and I’d worked on them a bit. These are great quality for their price
Heyy I really enjoy your videos! You’re a pro skater and you’ve inspired me to pick up roller skating! Wish I could take a class with you however I am in the UK :( Funny story - I just one day decided I wanted to skate again after many years (I was a kid since I last put skates on my feet). I shopped around on Amazon and came across Rio roller skates they had lots of great reviews and they looked amazing compared to other brands I viewed! I have the Rio Mayhem 2’s in black and green I LOVE THEM!!! I have only tried them 2 times and still need to learn to go fast and stop properly.
My skate partner had the same issue with a different brand and it was very frustrating. I tried them myself and I couldn’t keep a straight line. After trial and error we were able to fix the problem by changing the bushings. They were deformed for some reason.
Could you do a rookie roller skate review?
Could it be that the plates or the trucks are not mounted on centered? Maybe when you relax and put your weight on straight it still puts your weight on one side pulling you to the side since it's not centered.
Could you please do a review for the BTFL Harper skates? I bought them and I'm searching for a professional review for so long! Thank you for your really good videos. I have so much fun to watch them.🥰❤
Could you do a review of C7 Skates? I hear they're not great, but I'm constantly getting their ads and they're SO CUTE
Ive been skating on Rio Roller Luminas for about 6 months, just added slide blocks which dont sit where i need them to in order to slide both ways. The skates were fine until adding blocks, now my left skate travels just like in this video. It would be really handy when reviewing skates if you could please try attaching blocks for skate park use or recommending which will fit. There doesnt seem to be enough info out there in this reguard, especially for beginners. For example, I was sold this skate due to a tight budget. I was not told that plastic trucks are not advised for the park or that i would need blocks at some point in order to progress with doing tricks. Anyway, over 300 aussie dollars later and 6 months invested at the park and i still cant drop in, or slide and my jumps and turns are now dangerous so i have to look at purchasing new skates which i cant afford. (AND Im getting old) So, my skating dreams may be over.... really depressing
thanks for doing this, really. Finding reviews it's hard normally ppl are married with a brand.
Also, great note for the ppl with widefeet, i think finding skates for wide feet is hard, you don't get to roll on the skates you put on (at least not in my city) :,u
Just subscribed! This is the 4th video of yours I’ve watched. I’m looking at buying the Chaya Melrose deluxe skates.. definitely pushing my budget but I want to get a solid pair of skates so I don’t ruin my experience when learning…says they come with 62mm 78A wheels. Do you think the wheels are large enough for beginners learning outside?
Hi Indy! Please Please PLEASE do a review on the Chaya Kismet Barbiepatin! I really want to start park skating and I trust your opinion soo much!
Last year I restarted skating after 20 years break, I bought the rio milkshake… and I realized the same: “shaking” material sound, super loose trucks, drifting to the side (like really hard foot control about directions) - but the worst is the shoe tongue!!! It doesn’t matter how often I re-laced the boots, after 3 steps it’s slipping to the side :( don’t know any solution, it really freaks me out… that was wasted money :(
Hi just wanted to know if you are aware of the Papaison roller skate? I haven't found any real reviews on this skate. It looks and feels well put together and I would just like to know what a professional would think about it!
Could the issue have been a defect in one or more of the bearings? If the bearings in one wheel aren't turning properly it could pull you to the side? I've never had that problem myself but wondering if that was the problem?
Could be! My guess would be that the plates are mounted very crooked. When indy filmed her skates the toe stop was so out of place compare to the boot. But I am probably wrong, indy would notice if the plates are wrong placed. It's hard to tell what is wrong with these skates :")
It could also be the bushings, but the point of her reviews is to see, if they work fine right out of the box, because skaters, who are just starting, would not know what is right or wrong, if they don't have any experience.
If it were the bearings Indy would have noticed with the spin test. I suspect it's the actual mounting on the plate OR the actual material of the bushings is so bad the eleasticity differs throughout
Thanks for this great review - this answered a lot of the questions I had - with both theory and practical application. Big thumbs up.
Can you do Rookie classic skates????
I was going to buy a $15 skate from amazon till i saw your videos so thank you
I would really like Indy to try to make a review at the skating rink on trick skates plz like this so she might be able to do it😁
I enjoyed your video, but I have a question. My friend gave me some skates, but I haven't skated in over 30 years. He tightened the wheels to help me skate, but I'm constantly jerking and trying to keep my balance. What can help me with that? 2nd question is that I have the same problem that you had with the Rios.my left boot kept going to the right. And the truck is secured by a screw so I need a screw driver. You've been around for a little while so do you know anything, tricks or shortcuts that can make skates go straight ahead as thy should?
So, when she said that the instructors in France wouldn’t teach her with Rio’s, anyone else instantly think it’s because the brand is UK? 😅

Hey indy could you review the riedell 120 boot I heard they're great for the price
Oh cool! I’d love to know too! ❤️💖
I have these and I love them! They were recommended to me by the local skate shop here and I agree that they’re great for the price
I have the same Rio skates, my right feet hurts after rolling a while, I don’t have wide feet. I don’t know how it should feel like, because this is my first skates and am a total beginner. I’ll keep on practicing with Rio, and upgrade if I still have passion on skating when it gets warmer again.
Have you ever had problems changing trucks on these skates, i tried putting new hangers on and they didnt fit
We did need this, indeed 😉 Thank you so much for your help, you have been an asset in the decision on my next pair of skates 💕🤟
I had Rio Roller Kicks as my first skate and apart from blisters from the fabric in the tongue, they were okay. The back wheels were quite far forward towards the centre of the boot so it felt like I was falling back a lot and upset my balance. I tend to find trucks on most cheaper rollerskates I've used pull inwards, so now I skate inlines only
I love your vids! Could you review the VNLA Parfait roller skates? (if you haven't already reviewed them) thanks and happy skating!
My moonlight rollers pulled hard like that. They were unusable to me. Then I got a new plate for them, but it was mounted poorly by another skate shop. I had no luck with them, which I’m sad about because the boot was super comfortable and they were cute. Have you tried moonlight rollers?
