Excellent Safety Tutorial , I bought a pair of Moxi Panthers and I am a indoor Skater but wanted a second pair of Skates . I use Reidel indoor for Rink , however I changed the Moxi Panthers wheels , so I could Skate 🛼 indoors & outdoors ( Hybrids 85a wheels ) I didn't check the Trucks prior to Skating with my Panthers , they were never worn yet and the Trucks were to tight , I couldn't even turn right or left . I fixed them now but Thank you for a detailed instructions , it saved me a trip to get them adjusted Professionally 🤗
Thank you so much Katie. I was a skate virgin til a month ago, have just upgraded from some £50 Rio's to a pair of Moxi Lolly's. I used to crash almost every time I went out and realised after a while I was pushing myself to learn to much. Unfortunately I didn't safety check them; the 1st time I went out I lost a toe stop while crossing a road with traffic, I just kept losing control on stretches of downhill, had a 3 mph street crash where I bum-flopped with a rucksack on and flipped my head back on to the path hurting my neck and cutting the crown of my head open. I thought it was just me not used to faster wheels, but now I've seen this video and checked my skates some of the wheels have got 2-3mm of horizontal play on the trucks. The day after I cut my head, on top of the elbow/wrist/knee guards I had, I brought a dual certified helmet and the best bum savers available (I'm 38 yrs old, 5ft10" and 8.5 stone, so I don't bounce anymore, lol). Thanks again : )
Thanks so much for this video. My skates were wobbly and I wasn't sure what was wrong. Turns out both the trucks and the wheels just needed some tightening. Now they feel like a fresh new pair of feet !
It's 5.15 a.m, I'm going out as soon as I can to conquer my fears after my last crash. Just sussed out why my toe stop came off and my wheels are so loose; it's because the roads and paths in the the U.K. have not been maintained, like everything else in the country the infrastructure is falling down around us , the roads are that bad that it's shaken them loose, lol. So I'm gonna do a mini-check every time I go out now : )
Okay, I'm a bit late in finding this video, but things that have worked for me...and will work with any skate: Vinyl Boot: Warm water and a any dish soap (you only need a little!), rub with a soft microfiber cloth (often found at auto or home improvement stores). Suede or Leather Boot: A little warm water, mild dish soap, and a soft washcloth or a "Mr. Clean Magic Eraser." works well, too. Wheels/Toe Stop: Orange Goop or Fast Orange - smooth formula - a couple drops, rub it around the wheel or stop with your finger, be sure to get the whole contact surface, let sit for *at least* 30 seconds, wipe off with a paper towel. Note: For wheels or stops that have never been cleaned, you may want to leave it on a little longer. For spots that have "caked on" dirt and gunk, put a little extra of the Orange Goop or Fast Orange on that area. Metal Plates: Brush with an old toothbrush. A LITTLE warm water helps, but do NOT soak them as the plates could, of course, rust! Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. Nylon Plate: Warm water and a gentle scrub sponge (such as used for washing dishes).
Yes you would have to change the plates. Plenty of options to go with when it comes to plates that are better than the original equipment on your skates. If you want a plate change, I can help as I run a custom skate shop. Check out ANS Roller Customs on FB.
No, you don't! They make conversion kits - both ways. You can go from an adjustable to a fixed or a fixed to an adjustable. However, depending on where you are in the world, these can be rather pricey so it often is cheaper to switch plates than buy one of the conversion kits. If you can afford it, it comes down to personal preference as to which option you'd rather go with.
@@ianjacka636 my first pair since the early 80s. I would rather pay now then later. No blisters. Perfect fit. I was gonna break in some timberlands boots and make skates with nylon plates and outdoor wheels. I have wide feet. Cheaper to buy moxis
@@ertfgghhhh I guess that depends on where you live. My favorite plates are only $50 (oddly, on Amazon, not from a skate shop), a good set of outdoor wheels I can get for around $60. So to do shoe skates, it's cheaper for me than to buy any of the Moxi line. Currently working on my 2nd shoe build now....to go with the 3 other sets of skates I have. Each is set for a different location. Switching wheels would be cheaper, of course, but it can be a hassle with as often as I skate.
@@MystiqueRisingSun timberlands are $170. Outdoor wheels plus bearings are $80. Thats 250. Metal soles for ur shoes are $55. Havent even factored in trucks, plate, or hardware?moxis are $270
@@ertfgghhhh Ohhhh....I thought you already had the boots! LOL Yeah, definitely much more expensive if you have to buy those, too. I try to get wheels with bearings, but I just found a set of 100 bearings for less than $20 for my stash since outdoor skating tends to kill bearings faster. I also don't worry about the soles - Timberland's , depending on exact style, of course - often have a hard enough sole that a metal one isn't needed, but I have seen a few with some softer soles, too. I do tennis shoes and have never reinforced them. But, it does all come down to personal preference there. My shoes - $2.50 at a thrift store. Plates - $50 (which includes the trucks and mounting hardware). Outdoor wheels - $60. So, the total of my newest build will only be $112.50 since I already have bearings and toe stops. Actually, $52.50 since I also have a small stock pile of wheel sets already, too. 4 out of 5 members of my family skate, so we've got a huge box of "basics" (tools, bearing oil, bearing cleaner, wheel cleaner, stops, lock nuts, laces, bearings, spare kingpins, cushions, nuts for the kingpins, nuts for my adjustable toe stop, etc.) as well as a slightly smaller box full of various wheels. I like to take a small backpack style bag when we're out with at least a few of those basics and the tools just in case anything happens. I don't want to be too far away from home and have to walk back due to a malfunction...so with the stock pile, I could pretty much build a couple dozen sets of shoe/boot skates, with only needing to get the shoes or boots and plates for them.

Was a bit confused with the left and right thing but then I spied your t shirt and realised you were filming in a mirror! :)

mine rolled away now I can't find it. Sucks!!!
great!! Very Helpful
thank you for this!!!!
Thanks for this video. What are the color names to both the pink and the light blue, please?
Those skates are the lolly floss and ivy jungles.
Strawberry and floss
i want a pair!!!
how do I clean moxi skates?

What’s the best cushions to get for the ivy? I need new pivot plugs too. I took it to my local state shop and non of their pivot plugs fit my skates.
Do you guys sell extra crab tools? I can't them online anywhere and I lost mine!
legit, i can't find them either
just use a wrench haha
it works
Abaddon Amazon sells them
you can buy a y3 tool
I can't even buy them, because it can't ship to my country ;-;
Righty Tighty, Lefty Loosey.
Can anyone tell me if I have to change the plates on the Ivy Moxis to switch to an adjustable toe stop?

can i find a partner ?
I want one but 300£ is too much
I know £300 is a lot of money mate, but I've jut upgraded my £50 Rio's to some Moxi's, which cost 6 times as much. . . but are 20 times better.
