So glad I'm not the only one that isn't feeling the out of the box wheels. Struggle bus! I'm in Michigan so they're not happening with our roads and sidewalks. I'm definitely gonna update mine!
You are definitely not alone on that. My wheel and bearings change made ALL the difference. The bearings that come with the skate aren't that great either. Again, not terrrrible but they can be better. Reds and Rollerbones are good.
@@TheHashtagHEROTV yeah I'm gonna change the bearings too. Just ordered some redz and radar energy wheels. Excited to not feel like I'm going to face dive while skating haha!
Pulse wheels are great for asphalt for sure! I upgraded my panther skates because the moxi wheels that they came with just seemed “harder” even though they say they are 78 durometer, and I also upgraded my cushions and that helped a lot too!
Great review, thanks! I just got my Panthers today. I am definitely going to change the bushing and the wheels. I do want to try them at the rink. I don't dare skate in the street yet.
Yayyyy! Welcome to the Panther crew hehe. I recently ordered bushings and am waiting eagerly to change them. If I had to guess, I'd bet rink skating with the wheels they come with is pretty good. Happy skating!
When i was wearing the jungle wheels, i STAYED falling. When i changed my wheels, i got do much better. I also changed my bearings. I buy bearings for each wheel set i buy. I also changed the bushings. The plate is sooooo heavy. I am gonna change the plate to either the rock plate or the crazy apollo plate. Change ur bushings to powerdyne universal bushings. U will be amazed
I feel this. Changing wheels rocked my world the first time lol. I've also been trying to change my bushings forever!! I'm so glad you just gave me a recommendation because I almost bought those but I wasn't sure if they'd fit my plate at the last min. Thank you ⚡💛⚡
@@TheHashtagHEROTV np. I HATED this skate at first. I bought them after my lollys. When i changed the wheels and bushings, they rolled just as free as my lollys. i got them for outside riding but they are so cute i bought blackjacks for outside instead. The one complaint i have now is THE PLATE IS SOO HEAVY. So i just got a crazy skate apollo plate to put on. I am intrigued with the 20degree kingpins. My daughter has black suede crazy skates and loves it. I wanted a more artistic plate for indoor.
@@ertfgghhhh Dope! I plan to get Lolly's next and some luminous wheels just for fun. Since I have no other skates to compare the plate to I kinda like the plate that comes with the Panther, feels sturdy to me haha. Ohhh I love the look of the black suede crazy's, I met a skater the other week in NYC who literally drove down to ATL to get them because they were sold out everywhere up here!
@@TheHashtagHEROTV i bought the evolve skates week before last online. They are GORGEOUS but the moxi suede is a better quality suede. My daughter loves them. I have the green luminous wheels and love them. They are a good hybrid wheel. Check out the website. U might still get a pair of black pair. The cade is GORGEOUS. I got one for my blackjacks too. I bought skate bags from roll line to store my skates in. Definitely worth it.
those glitter gummi wheel felt for me like your new ones for you. They were a really big updste to my impala wheels!! Now i feel much more secure on the streets!
Thank you so much for talking about the wheels. From looking at specs, they seemed to be pretty good. And I didn't want to spend the money for a similar product. I was thinking of getting the same replacement wheels. Thank you so much :)
Hi sorry I am so late you tube has kept me from getting any updates.I have been in skating a long time I am one that will tell all you gals to get rid of your stock cushions and put in a set of the soft Magic Riedell cushions ( The Red Ones ) It will do you wonders Your body weight just doesn't have the mass to work the hard cushions that came on your skates.I always keep a set in my bag and put them on young skaters skates to get them going in the right direction.Charlie.
Thanks Charlie! This is such a great tip and sage advice. Since the filming of this video I've upgraded my cushions! I ended up getting both the soft (red) and medium (orange). Turns out for me, the soft were too soft but the orange work perfectly and have revolutionized my ride!! Thanks for watching 😊
I just subscribed and bought my first pair. I was experienced when I was younger, but now getting into the roller skating arena heavy and hope to be pretty decent in a few months. Thanks for the videos I’ve watched 3 getting a lot of info.❤️❤️ 👋🏽👋🏽 from H-Town
H-Town in the building! Thanks for stopping by, I’m glad I could help! I’m def obsessed with skating and I hope it brings you joy too. If you have any questions or ideas of videos you’d like me to do, lmk 🤓
Do you have any trouble doing crossovers in your Panthers? I’m wondering if loosening my truck bolts more would help with that. Despite that, I love my Panthers too. I switched from Impala and it was THE best thing I’ve ever done ❤️❤️
I did at first, mostly because I never did them before and had to get used to leaning into my edges. Loosening the trucks definitely helps! Just have to make sure they're not too loose otherwise the nut might fall off while you're skating (I had an entire truck fall off once lmao lesson learned). I actually just upgraded to softer cusions which also make crossovers easier. Crossovers can be really challenging at first but over time you'll get better from practice. Now they're one of my favorite things to do. ++ the drills from Marilyn Tantrums beginner crossover tutorial helped me to get better really fast. Especially the drill off-skates with the wall. 😉
@@laura-yd3fv I got the Powerdyne Magic cushions universal in soft (red) and medium (orange). I'm using both rn but totally could have gotten away with just using the orange (medium). Good luck!
You need to get some watermelon toe guards and some pink or green!!!!!!!! I love fritzys....I'm constantly buying from them. They are so awesome. Just bought the moxi panthers in the last drop.... still waiting on them to arrive. I bought some impalas last year that Im using as my "training wheels" since they are a cheaper buy. Hopefully when I get somewhat good I'll pull out the panthers
Haha I like your style. As soon as I saw this comment I went on the hunt for some watermelon toe guards. Thanks for the tip! And yeah, Fritzy's has been a life saver for me. I couldn't have started skating without them. Did you get to upgrade your Impalas at all?
@@TheHashtagHEROTV hope you find some. Think it would be pretty cute! I'm sure somebody has some on etsy. Bought the Panthers and will be receiving them on Friday. Still practicing but I wanted to grab them in case I didnt get another chance.
@@TheHashtagHEROTV they came today!!! A day early. But hey mine came with both the tool and the guards. Just wanted to give you a heads up. When I opened it up and saw them I was like wait a minute! They didnt give my girl her tool!
@@tiffanyjavonne hahaha! Best update ever. Glad your skates came early! I'm guessing someone messed up and did a shipment missing the tools, but hey at least we've got the skates LOL
Hey do the size of the panthers accurate or super tight on the front of toe I want them but I wear a 9.5 in women so from my understanding they said they are made in men sizes not unisex so I need a 9 mayb
Hiya, can you please tell me the width of the RollerBones Outdoor Miami Wheel 65mm I would like to compare them with the Atoms that you spoke about. Thank you from London UK
Are the Atoms as gummy as the Miami Rollerbones? Is there a huge difference between 78a and 80a? And do you have to purchase bearings in addition to wheels? Sorry, newbie here.
Hey there! Great inquiries. The Atoms are gummier than the Rollerbones Miami wheels. I find there to be a noticeable difference between 78a - 80a --not craaazy but noticeable. I think it depends on what you prefer while outdoor skating. I feel indestructible with the harder wheel on cracks and difficult sidewalks/streets especially when I first started out; they helped me to get better with transitions because stickier wheels take a little getting used to when changing directions. I'm more of an intermediate skater now (which is insane lol) so I feel less of a difference between 78a and 80a and can skate on them just the same. Regarding bearings, I usually buy all new bearings for each set of wheels mostly because I'm too lazy to switch them every time I switch wheels -- I just like to grab the wheels and go haha. Hope this helps!
hello my skates are very tight the moix was a size 8 but i order a size 9 got it today and still scared to roller i skate in side my house but out side scared im 58 what to do please help i watch ll the video but still scared thank you for your video
Hey there! Thanks for watching. Did you say your normal shoe size is a 9 and you got an 8 in roller skates but they're tight? If that's the case you may need to break them in, and if your foot is wide you may want to lace your skates using every other eyelet. It's totally natural to be afraid, the best I can say is to make sure you get some protective gear especially knee pads, wrist pads and a helmet! Protective gear definitely helps me feel more confident.
@@TheHashtagHEROTV well I have rode 1 time so far. I am looking into getting thee safety gear you have .. then I will be able to really enjoy them .. ☺️
Nope never. That said, I don't wear ankle socks when I skate. Ankle socks might bunch? I wear socks where the top of them reaches the top of the skate and they never bunch, which I loooovvveee.
The wheels that were currently on the skate during the video are Rollerbones Miami wheels (link in description), and the ones I showed at the end of the video are Atom Pulse 65mm outdoor wheels in green and pink! 💚💗
Hey Candice, I used the Scotchguard fabric water shield spray and it worked out just fine for me. That one is used primarily to preserve fabrics. Scotchguard has a spray specifically for suede which should do fine as well. I couldn't find that one in the store at the time so I went with the fabric water shield as a substitute. Hope this helps! Also here's my full video of how I applied scotchguard to my skates: ruclips.net/video/gBAa4A-vUcg/видео.html&lc=Ugx0hMo6XezNBSAbv9N4AaABAg
Sooooo I've currently got dart riddels I was gifted years ago and ordered those miami wheels this past week and am looking into getting panthers sooooo we may have twin setups 😅🖤🤘
Mine came in a red and white can that is supposed to be for upholstered fabrics but it worked just the same (re: hoe I scotch guard my skates video). As long as your scotch guard is for suede or something similar, I think you'll be just fine 🙂
Nice review! If I wouldnt already have the lolly's I would totally buy the panthers :) The toestop can come loos because of the toeguard between the nut and the skate. To prevent that its better to put the nut first and then the toeguard if that makes sense :)
ooooooh!! It's funny because my next upgrade will probably be a lolly. I think it's cool that they're so flexible at the ankle but I wasn't sure if that would help me out as a beginner-beginner. The toe stops stopped getting loose but if it starts happening again I'll rearrange it like you've just suggested. Thanks so much!
Nice! I love my lollys, they only had a hour of break in time and shape to your feet ☺️ When I need to replace them eventually I will invest in jacks too. Its just that I like the price point of the panthers :) Have a good day/night!
Did u ever skate with the Atom Pulse wheels? I tried to put them on my beach bunnies and they were catching on the screws whenever I would skate. I ended up shaving the screws down lol & eventually just switched them out for the Pulse lites which are smaller
I def had this exact problem! I'm eventually going to do what you did with the shaving of the screws. What did you use to do that? 🙃 The way I'm able to use my Pulse wheels is if I switch back to my hard cushions (the gray ones that originally came with my panthers). That works for me rn.
I noticed this happening with my Pulse wheels if I had my medium cushions in. I basically switch to harder cushions if I'm using those wheels -- kind of a work around.
Pulse wheels were my first choice but at the time they were all sold out. That's how I ended up with my Miami monster truck wheels hehe which to my surprise were incredible! So, I just wanted to try these watermelon ones out because they finally became available. TBH the difference between them isn't that big. The black wheels in this video are my first love/ ride or dies 🖤
I used Scotch Guard fabric water sheild (in the red spray can). That worked for me and I'm sure you can use other similar products that are used to protect suede. Hope this helps! Also, you can see exactly what I used in my "How to waterproof you roller skates video"
I just asked the same question! My Pulse wheels would catch on the screws on the plate so I tried shaving them down & eventually bought the Atom Pulse Lite version which is slightly smaller.
Hey there! Okay so the Pulse wheels for me would sometimes rub against the bottom screws on my plate. I noticed this only happening when I had my medium cushions in. My personal workaround for this was to switch to my hard cushions if I'm using the Pulse wheels. Another person commented that they shaved down their screws and that solved the problem for them. Were they compatible with your panthers? 🙃
Mine didn't unfortunately. Some people have said that the tool came with theirs and some people have reported that theirs didn't have one too. I guess there's a 50/50 chance haha. Fingers crossed!
I was thinking about getting the beach bunny skates, but now I don't know because I heard that the trux on the beach bunnies is kind of stiff. Is the trux stiff on the panthers? And even after you loosen it, is it still relatively stiff?
Hey Becky, in my experience loosening the trucks helps a lot in terms of turning mobility; the tighter the action nut, the harder it is to turn and vice versa. The stiffness you're referring to might have more to do with the cushions. The cushions can be changed depending on your preference and weight. Changing the cushions definitely gave me the sensation of a 'softer' ride. I find that you can customize your ride over time with minor upgrades and testing how loose/tight you like your trucks. Hope this helps! As a side note: cushions are inexpensive and can make a big difference :)
Hey, so I just got some Panthers. The padding on the tongue really presses on my toes in the front. Can someone maybe tell me, whether this stops After breaking in?🥲
Hi Valery, thanks for the question! I don't have those particular panther laces with me at the moment but I remember they were around 90-100 inches or so when I measured them a while back. I found some info on this on the Fritzy's Skate Shop website that say you can buy them at 3 different lengths and it also mentions which lengths go with which foot size approx.: 90" Size 3-6 108" Size 6-9 118" Size 10+ I'll also say that I've bought Spark Derby laces on a few occasions and find them to be on the shorter side in terms of length (but it works for me). Typical Spark Derby sizes: 72in-For low top skates and high tops smaller sizes 5 and under 84in-Perfect in between for high tops, sizes 6-9 96in-For most high top skates 6-12 I hope this is helpful!
I changed the stock cushions on my Panthers and it made a world of difference in the ride. Much smoother!
So glad I'm not the only one that isn't feeling the out of the box wheels. Struggle bus! I'm in Michigan so they're not happening with our roads and sidewalks. I'm definitely gonna update mine!

Mine didn't unfortunately. Some people have said that the tool came with theirs and some people have reported that theirs didn't have one too. I guess there's a 50/50 chance haha. Fingers crossed!
You and your glasses are beautiful!
Thank you so much! What a kind comment ♥️
I thought the same & wondering where were they purchased at or brand so I can Google
Wondering, which wheels are best for Street skating with my Panthers?
For skating outdoors, I really like the Rollerbones Miami wheels or the Atom Pulse wheels 🙂
@@TheHashtagHEROTV ok awesome! I will need them since I will be outdoors a ton! Thank You💎🙏🏼
I was thinking about getting the beach bunny skates, but now I don't know because I heard that the trux on the beach bunnies is kind of stiff. Is the trux stiff on the panthers? And even after you loosen it, is it still relatively stiff?
Hey Becky, in my experience loosening the trucks helps a lot in terms of turning mobility; the tighter the action nut, the harder it is to turn and vice versa. The stiffness you're referring to might have more to do with the cushions. The cushions can be changed depending on your preference and weight. Changing the cushions definitely gave me the sensation of a 'softer' ride. I find that you can customize your ride over time with minor upgrades and testing how loose/tight you like your trucks. Hope this helps! As a side note: cushions are inexpensive and can make a big difference :)
@@TheHashtagHEROTV thank you so much!
Hey, so I just got some Panthers. The padding on the tongue really presses on my toes in the front. Can someone maybe tell me, whether this stops After breaking in?🥲
Hey, any update on the skates? How do you like them? Did you sell them or where they up to your standards?
@@jaedevrick I sold them .. for me they're not worth the money :(
Hi. What length is your shoe strings? Mine are not long after lacing up.
Hi Valery, thanks for the question! I don't have those particular panther laces with me at the moment but I remember they were around 90-100 inches or so when I measured them a while back. I found some info on this on the Fritzy's Skate Shop website that say you can buy them at 3 different lengths and it also mentions which lengths go with which foot size approx.:
90" Size 3-6
108" Size 6-9
118" Size 10+
I'll also say that I've bought Spark Derby laces on a few occasions and find them to be on the shorter side in terms of length (but it works for me). Typical Spark Derby sizes:
72in-For low top skates and high tops smaller sizes 5 and under
84in-Perfect in between for high tops, sizes 6-9
96in-For most high top skates 6-12
I hope this is helpful!
