I'm recovering from surgery right now after breaking my arm in 3 places.. my arm was dangling..1 plate, 13 screws and about 40 stitches... Nerve damage... Can't even move my hand...I will need tons of therapy... At least 6 months the get full feeling and movement back... The skate park is dead to me.. But I will skate on flat ground
Again
I’m a little late but I’m going through that now. I got a plate and 10 screws in my arm. Skating backwards outside and hit a rock. I fell and tried to catch myself and broke my radius in 6 places and my ulnar stylloid was fractured as well. I had 3 surgeries in one. Wear your gear and be safe ladies.
Skated for 1 month broke my wrist about to take off my skates and everyone said no more skating for you. I laughed and said naw I’ll be skating more and told all my doctors I’ll be back to skating once I get the clear. So now I’m healing and counting down the days I can skate again.
I would love to know more about the turtle! I always wear all my gear, but i still get very nervous about my tailbone / butt.
Sitting on my couch with my fractured tibia and fibula too 🥺 so glad I found this video and saw these comments to see people do come back from this and I’m not the only one 🥺
Three things I see: care, community, & compassion
Thanks you guys for making this video. I'm not going to lie I felt alone and embarrassed about my skating injury because I'm just beginning my skating journey at 30 years old and learning how to roller skate and I had slipped and fractured my ankle but watching these stories and listening to the ladies testimonies really inspiring me to keep going and not feel alone. Thanks ladies ❤️❤️❤️
Same sprained left ankle at 36 at beginning skater
I was looking for a video like this. I dislocated my ankle roller skating Monday night and had surgery Friday. I’m recovering now but don’t want to give up skating. It was helping me so much. Thank you for this encouragement 💓. This whole situation has really sucked. I feel all these people’s pain 😭. It’s a horrible thing to dislocate something.
I want a turtle butt pad. I already broke my butt once! Please post more info! ❤❤❤
Dead ass just seriously injured my wrist today.... 10 yrs ago that would’ve put me off immediately but today I after the X-ray I still want to skate, my back issues, heart problems etc will not hold me back
PeachNico I feel the same way. Quad skating is calling hard.
Thanks for posting this. I tore my ACL about 15 years ago breakdancing. There wasn’t really a forum or community like this for me to stay connected. When I had to stop I felt like I lost all my friends and like no one cared. It was so sad. It sucked! Today, my ACL is fine, but my left knee is weaker and I have some fears about injury. I started skating back in October to have fun and build more strength in my legs and knees. I just recently started refereeing for roller derby which I’m so excited about. And I’m thankful for this new community and connection of skaters!!
I’m glad that you kept going and are staying strong with the community ♥️
I'm so glad I found this video. Yesterday I speed my ankle and I felt so upset with myself 😢 but after this video I feel so inspire by you girls 🥰 I know I will get better and I will be able to skate, sooner than later ❤
I'm super duper happy this video was made. This is a part of the real side of skate joy. I was down for over 6 months on an overuse injury to my left leg. One day, I turned my knee to lace my boots and *pop*. I went skating on that following weekend and felt like my leg weighed a ton to lift. It was as if I were skating for the first time. Luckily, nothing broken or "torn", but inflammation is NO JOKE.
Today, after much resting, leg strengthening, stretching, swimming, etc. My legs look and feel stronger. Still, some inflammation in the left knee/ankle; but safe enough for me to skate around in my home and rink, lol. I'm skating in the bedroom closet spinning round and round, practicing power and hockey stops in the dining/kitchen area and perfecting transitions. It's a great place to start after an injury before skating outdoors again. Plus, with the help of an expensive knee bandage, I was able to skate for 1.5 hrs at rink and feel that I even improved after all that time. I WILL NOT GIVE UP :-D!
I just got my first pair of skates in over 10 years. When I was in high school, I fell at the rink and jammed the hell out of my wrist and it scared me out of wanting to ever skate again. I went skating once after that, maybe four years ago. But I wasn't with someone supportive who tried to just push me through my fear and had a miserable time and didn't want to pick it back up.
After watching this and watching a ton of other skating videos and knowing its not the end of world to injur yourself skating, I'm so excited to get back on skates and conquer my fears again. Thank you for helping to give me the confidence to get back on wheels ❤️
I really needed this. I broke my ankle mid-July, had surgery the next day, and I was cleared to walk a little after two months. I have learned a ton about myself over the last eleven weeks or so. Definitely want to upgrade to a pair of Jacks, that's for sure! I miss skating so, so much and this video has helped remind me that I will skate again and will absolutely crush it (not my bones though, lol.) If you're injured please know you are not alone and you are so dang strong. Thank you for this ep! It absolutely warmed my heart!
Omg that girl is red, so tough to be skating so hard already. I would never! Haha also, yes on thr butt pad! I want to learn more:))
@rubyrollerskates on Instagram!
Thank you for creating content like this!! I'm new to roller skating. About 3 weeks in I fell from a standing position (should've bent my knees) and fractured my left arm at the radial head. I had knee pads and wrist guards on but I skipped the elbow pads. I hit my elbow hard and that's what caused the fracture. The pads would have saved me from the injury being this bad.
Anyway, I was getting discouraged thinking I must be really terrible at this for breaking my arm. All I see are cool moves and amazing skaters. It is so nice to know I'm not alone and that this does happen to other skaters. Thank you so much for highlighting this other side of skating.
I will get back on skates after I get the doctor's clearance. I have learned that I should wear all the gear and learn how to fall. I feel optimistic and I'm excited to skate again. You're all awesome. Keep making great videos!!!
Thank you so much for making this!! I just went to my first roller skate event on Monday and promptly fell backwards after just one successful loop and broke my left radial head. I had all the safety gear on but the force of landing mostly my left hand basically crashed the bones together. Thankfully the doctor wasn’t worried at all and said I could be back out in a few weeks 😅 it’s really helpful hearing all of these stories even though I’m not really in the community yet. Love and health to all these beautiful skaters!!
A few months ago I had a traumatic experience where basically my bare feet were crushed under stiletto heels. I had just started to learn how to skate when this happened and I was devastated because my feet were in so much pain, I think my bones were broken, I could barely even walk let alone skate! I was so scared to try skating again for months afterwards but I just started practicing again and I’m so incredibly happy! Skating is helping me in ways I never could’ve imagined!
yes! I love hearing stories like this! Keep it up!
Wonderful video! I always get so nervous to hurt myself and I know it holds back my skating progress, but this is great to watch and makes me want to get back on my skates! And ... more butt pad love! I've been debating whether to get it!
Yeah getting injured is difficult and the process of getting over the fear is even worse. But we are all doing it together!
I haven't started to skate yet, but I feel like your channel shows the reality of the sport, cause let's be real most sports have injarys. I feel like your channel is helpful for me with getting over the fear factor, Iv alway been a timmied person in regards to falling. Like other kids would climb trees and I would just wait for them to finish, hand stand, cartwheels I never tried any of it.
Thanks for sharing the honest varied emotions of injury and recovery❤
Injuries being a part of skating, for me, means it might not be the right activity for me, unfortunately. I have a condition that causes faulty collagen, extreme joint hypermobility, and a tendency to have soft tissue tears and dislocations.
I know falling is part of it, but hoped the protective gear and taking it easy would be enough to just get the feel. I wouldn’t recover from one bad fall. I’ve already had multiple joint surgeries and use mobility aides part time.
Thank you for making this video. If anyone else has EDS, over 40, and is out there skating, please let me know!
I don’t know how bad your EDS is or whether it’s advised but maybe you could still do it if you make sure you tape up your joints and support them properly
Keep skating on wheels. My daughter has drop foot after another ice skater's blade sliced through back of knee. All injuries are bad but I suggest staying away from blades. Great to hear your recovery stories❤
I recently started learning to skate and only a few days in broke my leg really badly 😭😭 I wish I had a skate friend to have held my hand trying to learn and maybe not have hurt myself so badly. Im so sad idk if I'll ever be able to skate now.. Thanks for the positivity though ladies
I don't know how your skating is going since it's been ages since you said this. But I broke my arm day one and I was really scared to go back too but I am so glad I did. And I know you can too ❤️
Wether someone was there or not it still could have happened and it's just a part of skating. We just got out first go out the way early haha
Broke my elbow 2 weeks ago. Was rollerskating in a new area that had big cracks on the concrete and I lost my balance and fell. Thankfully I didn’t need surgery. The first week I was just in pain. The 2nd week I was just in a depressive black hole. Felt a lot of shame/guilt. I’m going into my third week and I’m starting to feel better pain-wise and mentally as well. Looking forward to being able to skate again. Already learned a lot from this experience. First and most importantly, get good-quality safety gear. I was wearing all my gear when I fell but they were cheap, low-quality ones. Try to scope out new areas to go skating first especially if you are a beginner like me.
Thank you Rebel and all othet skaters for your encouraging words. 💚🛼
Hi gracie!!!! I bought the GREEN turtle cause of gracie and it has helped my confidence after i crushed and broke my wrist. Im still not confident to this day-a year after my accident. I have learned to wear my wrist guards and knee pads and turtle AT ALL TIMES
I'm thinking about buying it :)
@@QueerGirlStraightSkates i SWEAR by it. My wrist is still sore for when i crushed the ball and broke the bone on the side that had the ball. It happened at the rink going really slow. I also skinned my knees at rinks. So bump that. I wear wrist guards and knee pads at all times. I bought the turtle from amazon first time i saw it. Talked to the chinese sellers. I received it from china in about 10days. They were very nice about my urgency. Im glad they did. I wore it outside. Works like a charm even outside.
Heres a story. Im 6ft tall and 150lbs. I wear a size 6 and size 8. U know how almost all kids that are boys love to race? Well this high schooler decides to go as fast as he can backward mohawk gliding. He was as tall as me and thicker. Going fast like the wind. I was scooter pushing around the corner cause my crossover was whack.i was looking over my shoulders. I saw him coming full speed. HE DIDNT LOOK WHERE HE WAS GOING and plowed into me full speed. I leaped into the air like charlie brown on the mound. I hit the ground butt first with my legs in the air. The force was so strong, both wrists were sore (and i wore triple 8 leather wrist guards -$50 ones that look like gloves). My tailbone or buttocks were JUST FINE. Not hurt or sore whatsoever. No doubt, i would have had to call the ambulance for a broken pelvis. I came down pelvis FIRST!!! The turtles head is in the small of my back. Its entire body helps. Im thinking about getting another one and knee pads.
omg! where did you buy the turtle? i want to learn how to skate fearlessly and i think the turtle will really help
@@waterquiche9036 amazon. There are 2 colors-pink and green
@@ertfgghhhh can you send a link??
Skated my first derby practice (no contact) last night, after 15 months of being off skates. AFTER a successful derby practice, literally "321 Wasteland" i backed up, and didn't notice the sweater someone dropped behind me. It got caught in my wheels and i went straight down on my ankle. Surgery went well but lack of medical help forced me to do my own PT so it took longer. 😭 It feels amazing to skate now, don't even mind that I'm essentially starting over. I'm also mostly doing bubbles right now.
We Are The Strange how long did it take for you to walk confidently without pain? How long to jump without pain? Thank you, glad you were able to get back.
@@prolificF8 The first few steps in the morning still kind of hurts. I have ankle impingement and only have about 80% of my mobility back. So running and jumping looks awkward. But doesnt hinder my skating so far!
We Are The Strange I bet you can get better all around with PT. I don’t know if you have a plate, but some people needed to have it removed. Thank you for sharing.
@@prolificF8 I've been doing my own PT because of insurance issues, i definitely need my plates off!! Looking for a new surgeon, my screws are visible bumps through my skin! 😭
We Are The Strange Yes, get a second opinion right away, even if you can’t do another surgery for a while. I hope you find a way to do PT with a professional in the meantime. Do not hold off on second opinion though. You want to be informed as to what is going on. Maybe you can do a GoFund me? I’ll be thinking of you and for you to find a solution. ♥️
Currently recovering after fractured ankle and my god the way I’m just breaking down and crying and wanting to skate is so bad. It never seemed like a possibility, but man it SUCKS. Mentally and emotionally recovering is the hardest for me right now.
In hospital with 4 fractures in ankle awaiting surgery after falling failing to land a 180 jump on ramp and failing terribly 😭. So gutted as love skating so feel yours & others pain and comforted to know I'm not alone and one day will roll again. Hugs xx
@@shenellhardman6345 hope for a safe recovery for you! I’m almost there to fully skate again 😇
Ngl this is scaring the hell out of me.
Shit is real out here 👀
Sitting in my hospital bed right now after snapping my tibia and fibula while skating at a skate park. This really helped me, I already miss rollerskating.
I fractured my tibia and fibula in August and I got an intramedullary rod in my tibia and 3 screws. I know it's hard and it's a fucking rollercoaster of emotions. But you will get better. Even if it seems like very far away, you WILL get better.
It's been 2mo post op and I finally walked (hobbled hahah) without crutches!
I broke my fibula in 2018 I was 58 years old. A plate w/7 screws. I was cleared to skate after 4 months but I was too nervous. I'm back on my skates. I had to put fear aside. I missed it soon much.
The same thing happened to me and now I'm in a cast and I have crutches
@@fbilloch This is encouraging! It's been three weeks since my surgery. Broke tibia and fibula as well. I got a rod/pins. The struggle is real.
In hospital now with same! Awaiting operation to put screws and plates in. Was so upset thinking I probably couldn't skate again especially park skate but now feel reassured. Thank yiu and hugs all xx
Timely info girls... i broke my ankle this month and Im trying to stay positive!!! :)
I shouldn't be reading these comments lol. Great video as always though, such a good idea!! Wrist guards, knee pads and helmet for LIFE. And mouth guard if I ever go to a skatepark. I need to be able to work and keep that money!
I totally get that. That's why I always wear a helmet and full gear.
ELBOW PADS!!!
I was out for a skate yesterday and an older woman struck up a conversation with me, saying she used to fall all the time back when she skated, adding, "If I did it now, I'd have to tie a pillow to my butt." Then this video showed up in my suggestions and I saw Gracie's awesome turtle pad! Now I'm wishing I'd known about it yesterday!
Great vid! I loved getting to see your community this way.
I’m on my ass in my hard ankle cast right now, I’m so glad you made this 😭
Christina Ford I’m in a post surgery ankle cast (a little over a week) This is a really important discussion. I plan on getting back to roller skating. Sending you an ankle cast wave *owww owww*
Heal up quick!
Same here 😭
I love you girls! I love this video as I am restarting now after 31 years lololol Your video is SO HELPFUL and helped me a lot! Take care girls! : ) ; )
i broke my wrist while doing a jump on my skates when i was 11yo and i completely stopped skating because i was traumatized, but now it's been 7 years since that time and I'm starting to skate again!! i missed it so much but I'm still quite scared
My girl, Fatgirlhasmoxi, did not look like she was having a hard time at all! She was getting it!!💕
I went to my first freshmeat as a completely non skater 3 weeks ago, got invited to get more time in at a rink near me with another teams freshies, got handed the most ratchet skates ever, they locked up on one side and I went flying straight onto my wrist, unfortunately the wrist guards were as good as the skates, one very broken scaphoid later, 4 days later (today) and I went back to freshmeat with a very secure brace on 🤣 the skating bug hits hard, the ground hits harder 🤣🤣
Ratchet skates!!! lol
Sprained my elbow a few days ago from using my wrist to break a fall, luckily I did not have to go to the hospital but it’s been rough. Injuries are such a bummer!
Broke my wrist two days ago, this video gave me some confidence to get back on skating ramps, thanks! My butt hurts really bad too.
Hope you heal fast and well!! 🖤
I had a bad fall on my tailbone where I also fell on my wrist and sprained it and it was so rough- but if it’s your tailbone it will heal with time
I went to the skate park for the first time after I got new wheels and I fell baad to where my ankle popped. I was sooo mad because I knew I was going to have to sit out a couple days. But I’m excited to get back out there and learn again (self-taught)
I sprained my wrist back in October. I’m a waitress for a living so I really struggled to do much, even setting a teapot down was painful for me. I’ve been dying to get back on my skates ever since but, living in England, the weather has been terrible. Can’t wait til spring to actually safely get going again. (I tried looking for an indoor roller rink but there isn’t any near where I live)
Charlie Cook The healing process is really important. Do your best to not overload your arm and eat nutritiously plus vitamins and supplements.
Hope you heal up quick! Take time for yourself and listen to your body ♥️
I looooved thissss I got injured today this gives me hope
only into my 3rd week and landed on my tailbone badly, 2 weeks later haven't been outside skating, just occasionally inside. Still sore and painful so really need some bum protection
Dealing with the same tailbone pain over here- how is it feeling now? I’m wondering how long until this awful pain subsides lol. Thank you!
Started skating early march,last Saturday attempted to jump (I’ve already practiced on grass) and fell backwards.My right foot was behind my left leg as I fell putting all that weight on my right foot and twisting it.End result:broken ankle,fibula,and torn ligament 🤕
Here after falling hard on my tailbone today 🥺🥺
SAME! it hurts so badly rn. How long did it take for you to feel better? It’s been 2 days and I’m in tears still lol.
Omg
Meee tooo
3 days of sheer pain n excruciating headache so far!
The pain is so real
As i went down backwards I managed to turn myself somehow, just missed a tailbone landing but it still hurt my bum n elbows i went over clean in the air n then bam!
Paaaaiiinnnnn
I even felt the jolt in my head!
Didnt hit my head, felt like my head went dwn into my neck!
Cdnt walk without severe pain n an extreme waddle for 3 days, still have severe headache behind my eyes after 3 days
Been in bed with hot water bottles on back n bum for 3 days
It has started to ease 'slightly' today, day 3!
Thing is i normally 'always' wear my padding but this one time i was practising at home i didnt pad up it would have at least saved my elbows! Not bleeding but so bruised swollen n soo sore.
I have now ordered bum pad shorts and a turtle!
Agree falling is part of it but i cannot do this pain again if there are aids that can minimise the injury n pain. Im 58 i think it takes longer to heal the older u are.
Boo hoo for me hehe
Hope u feel better soon. Xxx
Love that turtle pad !!! I need one *_*
Getting injured at an indoor rink made me buy my own skates. I fell because the rental skates had a shotty knotted-together lace that didn’t allow me to tie them properly. Instead of asking for another skate, I made the mistake of not saying anything. Freaking lace got caught in the back wheels and put me on the floor. So painful and embarrassing. Fortunately I didn’t break anything but it sucked.
Yeah getting injured always sucks so bad. I'm glad you didn't break anything!
I love this turtle! Where I can find it
I ONLY have plantar fasciitis pain when I skate. Ive tried all sortsa things to try to help but after about 10m it feels like i have a knife in the outside arch of my right foot :
I need those earrings, so cute!!
Watching this video during COVID-19 and when she said “we forget about FaceTime” I felt that
So yesterday I decided to take my impalas out for a spin up to the dollar store so that I could get some chips for dinner in make dinner and I got to West Columbia street in Maine coming off a curb and on to another curb I lost my footing in down I went him I fractured my rest and my rest is now curved So Friday I have to have surgery to correct both the problems they are going to put
I love skating ! I used to play Roller Derby here in the UK and long story short ... wipe out = dangly leg = total knee replacement 😬 Not 1 day goes by when I don’t think about skating or how awesome this or that surface would be to skate on , it’s been 10 years and I’ve just strapped my skates back on my feet . I was very nervous at first but soon got my skate legs back , I’m only going to gently street skate from here on in but it’s skating and I’m so happy now ☺️ I’m also 48 now and don’t want to break a hip 😂 Just don’t tell my surgeon 🤫❤️
Also just realised I’m logged in on my husbands account so not Dave D ! Hello 👋🏻 I’m Andrea D 😃❤️
Also just realised I’m logged in on my husband account so not Dave D ! Hello 👋🏻 I’m Andrea D 😃❤️
Omg jus get loadsa paddin n bum pad turtle. Well done for coming back
Where did you get your earings from Rebel?
I'm recovery from surgery after getting drunk and trying to show off on my skates (yeah I know I'm very very stupid 😂) it ended up with me breaking my wrist right by the joint I now have a plate in my wrist and I haven't skated since the 15th of June (when I broke my wrist) it's now the 13th of July I've been to my local skate park a few times but not dared get on my skates as I want to make sure I get the all clear from the hospital and make sure I have all the protective gear needed (which I didn't have any of) before I try skating again. It hasn't put me off skating in fact it's made me want to skate more but I'm listening to my body and the doctors because I don't want to cause more harm to my body before I get the all clear
Reading all these commentaries makes me want to sell my skates, I just bought it and now I'm so scared. I know a lot of people with injuries from skates, but at the same time my mom skated for years and never had any injuries, I guess that's the worst part, we can never know what will happen.
Wear your safety gear, practise safe fall and you’ll be okay. Living your life means taking risks, don’t let fear hold you back
Omg, poor thing! I'm walking and skating just like her right now after breaking my sacrum just days ago. I'm still gonna keep trying because I love skating THAT much. I'm gonna order that turtle right now!! Thank you, ladies!
Thanks for these video, im learning to skate and i have like a week since i started, and just a day ago i fracture my fíbula 😞 i with the pain at night i had a panic attacked 😞 and i started thinking if ill be able to get over my fear 😔
So far I've only sprained a couple fingers from skating, and nothing too serious. Although I did sprain my ankle walking my dog lol. Hey, Rebel, how do your Jack boots feel after skating in them for while?
Katie Kent Yeah, I’d be interested in a Lolly vs Jack boot comparison.
I friggin love my jack boots now that they are broken in. They are definitely incredibly comfortable and supportive
Well, all the worst injuries of mine (like tiny foot bones and ankle cracks) happened when I was doing some ceiling house maintenance or simply walking on some slippery pebbles! In my trainers 🤦♀️
So yeh, to me it's very important to remember that I can injury myself simply doing some daily routine, so there's no need to stop riding my scooter or my skates after falling from them)))
Because... Would I stop walking in a rainy weather? Or would I stop cleaning my ceiling when necessary? Of course I wouldn't 😆
Rebel, I love your shorts. Where can I buy? Thank you for this video. It’s definitely scaring me into always wearing my gear especially since I’m a newbie skater.. I get lazy sometimes to put it on.
2:45 I wanna know where she got the turtle thing that wraps around her waist, I recently began learning to rollerskate and also took a booboo to my tailbone I don't think I broke it, well at least I assume I didn't all I know it hella hurts and would love to get the same turtle she has for that kind of protection :)
Type in “turtle butt pad” on amazon and you’ll find it☺️
Hi! I fell hard on my butt two days ago and my tailbone is killing me. How long did your injury take to heal? Thank you!
Ur hair looks sooooo nice
I was practicing to skate on quads and i fell pretty badly. it rly hurt to breathe and move. Went to er and they said they see nothing broken. It was the tissue that shifted. A lot of swelling. It still affects me today and the injury happened last summer. Its like i had a car accident😢. Maybe inline skating would be better
I'm absolutely terrified of starting out on skates because i don't have the greatest balance and i totally wrecked my arm a while ago (flipped my bike and landed on one arm, hearing the girl in red talk about her break made my arm hurt) and im horrified that when i put on skates i'll fall on my arm, and breaking it for a fifth time will probably destroy my arm at this point, but hearing all these women talk about getting back into their skates after an injury gives me more confidence. lots of safety gear on my right arm though. just my right arm. the rest of me can eat shit but my right arm is worth a couple thousand dollars at this point.
ok thanks cool im crying now hearing shove talk about having a community and staying involved was just amazing. i was doing crew before i broke my arm and after i was out of shape and so weak from not being allowed to do anything all summer and when my season started back up all i could do was struggle to keep up and beat myself up over not being at the same place my teammates were. no one was really there to support me and i didn't have that many friends on my team and that combined with the break destroyed me. i lost the most important part of my life, while doing crew i was in shape and i finally was learning to love my body the way it was and my mental health was amazing. i can't wait to get on my skates. i want to learn to love myself and love my body. i want to fall down a million times just to get back up. please support your injured friends it can be more important than any doctors appointment sometimes.
as a new skater (skating since end of december) i decided to watch this video but now im very scared
"funny" story! I've been on inline skates since I was 3 years old (infrequently, am now 22) and I have been quad skating for about 2/3 months now. My first fresh meat training was not the first time I ever stood on skates, so I kinda knew what I was doing. Then we got to learning plow stops. I have gHSD and sublux/dislocate my joints easily. I was kinda starting to get the plow stops, until my skates decided that my wheels were too soft for indoor floors! I ended up twisting my ankle pretty bad! Fortunately I was back up again in 2 weeks! Currently have some mild knee issues going, but I have that Skate Fever!
Someone please tell me where I can buy Shove's outfit?!
Anyone with lower back problems that skate? I want to get back on skates so bad, but I’m worried about messing up my back again, or making it worse.
I just started skating in June 2019, after not skating in 40+ years. I am 57 and have lower back pain, the trick, I have found the key to getting back is lots of stretching, morning and night. There are some great stretches, on line to help with lower back pain. Disclaimer, I have never been diagnosed with an specific problem, so not knowing what you have, the stretching works for me.
Deanna Watkins I have a bulging disk, and it acts up every now and then.
@@srrm55 Talk to your doctor sounds like the best advice anyone can give you.
my lower back hurts when i skate but i found out it’s actually my back muscles working out since i never use it. it could be different for everyone though :-(
This is a big thing that happens when people first join roller derby as well! Skating works out new back muscles that not a lot of people use!
Is this in paramount ?
Thank you for this video, I twisted my ankle today and I cried really hard. This video made me feel better.
Omg
I hope u feel better too.
I fell this week

Hope u feel better soon. Xxx
Watching this with my broken ankle 😭🥴
Literally in the hospital rn with a broken ankle. I’m so devastated! 🥺😩🥴
The girl in red is hardcore af 😩 i wish her the best roller skate journey I can tell she loves it.
Also hey all I broke my ankle two days ago. 😭
Does anyone know Gracies new handle on insta? The one in the description isn’t active anymore 😢 she and I have the exact same incident so I wanna see how she’s doing.
Reb, i have a problem. I have the powerdyne plate on my blackjacks but i dont know how to adjust it. It didnt come with toestops so i put chaya stops on it and bought the washer and nut and put it on
1.Now i found out u dont need the washer and nut or do u? If u dont, where or how do i get the part and use the part for the toe stop
2,. How do i adjust the neo plate? There is not one video about it. The advertisement is vague. Plz help. Pretty plz. I wanna make sure im getting enough out of my plate. I wonder if its too tight. Do i need more movement?
I would bring it in to your local skate shop! I don't have personal experience with the powerdyne plate, but usually there are nuts that you can tighten or loosen on the bottom of the plate to adjust it. Should be the same for the Neo plate. The washer for the toe stop isn't necessary but will help you figure out if your toe stop is loose which is really helpful. The nut is necessary for the toe stop.
@@QueerGirlStraightSkates the toestop has a pin instead. I just dont have one but will be ordering one. Upon reading, literature says it has some special adjustment action. I thought maybe u had a neo plate since they are popular setups with jacks. But if u nor shove dont have the neoplate, i will have to go to the shop and ask. I just thought that would be a good video since its a popular aircraft aluminum plate
gospelevans you adjust your toe stops with a Allen wrench , it should be a black spot (looks like a octagon) on the plate where you insert the Allen wrench and twist.
For more expensive plates you usually don’t need a washer
@@cherubicseraphim729 i found out that i didnt receive the pins that went with my plate when i bought it. Sadly, i had to order the piece that goes on it. Waiting for it now. I didnt even receive toe stops with it. So, not knowing, i bought the pieces that go with it and am waiting in the mail for them.
I had bought the washer and nut and was using it but when i get the pins and wrench, i will insert it with the wrench and take of the washer and nut
I’m going to start carrying an ice pack when I go skating now haha
Today I was skating in the skate park and I was trying to get up the ramps and I couldn't get up them so I just kept trying and falling. I was wearing my knee pads so I just didn't care but then suddenly I felt this really sharp pain in my tummy when i fell and it got really bad so I had to come off the park. I don't know what it is. I think I pulled an abdominal muscle or something. I'm so sad and worried now. It still hurts like fuck when I exert myself or cough/sneeze.
watching this cause i hurt my tailbone so bad and im so scared
I just fell super hard on my tailbone skating 😭 it’s so damn painful. How long did it take you to heal?
What is that pink turtle she had? :)
Thanks for this video
Oh dear. And I thought my faceplant into a rink floor was bad.
How to prevent an injury: stretch before and after skating, and don't push your limits. Take the baby steps and wear all of your gear, especially a helmet. In the USA there is no universal health care. People always forget about debt, physical therapy, CTE, and complications when they blow off the gravity of getting injured. Gear won't save you, and supportive skates won't save you either. This is a risk mitigation game. Getting hurt isn't "gnarly" or "a part of skating". Take care of your bodies. The consequences can be incredibly serious.

The most important thing to ask is their instgram page
ANXIETY!!!!
Ruby's perspective is extremely concerning, no trick is worth a fractured bone. I'm coming from an athletic background perspective, which involves many injuries over the course of 10 years, and as someone who does physical labor to earn their rent money. Shredding the gnar doesn't mean you have to end up in the ER.
DID ANYone else spot Evelyn Ivy in her orange jumpsuit in the background!!!!!
i read the title as “when your skates hurt YOUR back” instead of “when your skates hurt YOU back” so for the longest time watching the video i was confused why it was about injuries instead of the burn you feel on your lower back when you’re working those muscles keeping the good posture/ form whatever
That butt pad is 🔥
