Nothing important
I don’t know if anyone else here has pets… But the looks on my dogs’ faces as I rolled through the house for the first time… Priceless! The look I got was somewhere in between alarm and judgment 🤣 How about y’all? Can you skate around your pets? Do they want to fight the skates? Do they try to trip you? 🛼🐶

I’ve thought to get my cat a skateboard.

@Tereza Toledo that sounds about right.
Late Bloomer
I’ve thought of skating like learning to play spades. If you didn’t learn before 17, it’s too late for you. But at 41, I’ve bought a pair of skates and PPE, so let me see how much I can learn without breaking anything important

I’m afraid of falling too, it’s just scary. I’m ok with bubbles but want to turn around while moving. Not having the confidence 🐥🙈😞 I feel like a duck 🦆 on skates.
Bots & Spammers
I apologize to anyone who has interacted with bots, spammers, or solicitors in this group. I am going through and removing all of them permanently, and will try to keep an eye on it. If you get a DM, read a post, or engage with an account that seems like a bot, a scammer, or someone in here to sell their products or services, please report it to me or an admin, and we will handle it. Thank you.

I was getting someone intent on me signing up for some kind of company, maybe multi level marketing. I don’t even remember her name.

😆 Exactly. Very phony.
Truck adjustment
So I see all over about loosening/tightening trucks. But honestly I don’t know if I should or how they should feel. I just got the Roll Line Mistral plates and they have blue cushions (idk if they are all blue or not) but aside from that I don’t know what I’m looking for. Is it that they should be looser to turn better? Also remember I’m fairly new skater. Going into 6 months (woo hoo!) so take that into consideration whilst answering lol!

I had no steering until I loosened the trucks considerably. My question would be ‘what about the back trucks?’ Skating backwards would answer that question, and I’m not there.
Double layered socks
Curious if anybody does this? I just kinda have always done it and never knew if that was the norm lol. 😅

Yeah they should be snug (not tight) at least from toe to heel. That is where you don’t want to slide forward or back. After they break in, the width will stretch, especially with suede. Thick socks probably means you have extra space? I think the answer really depends on skate padding, and the fit.
