How anxiety may show up at roller skate class
Anxiety shows up because we are scared. Fear is designed to keep us safe. If you ever fell on roller skates or rollerblades and hurt yourself your body will remember this. Your brain will try to make you feel as scared as possible so you don't hurt yourself again.
With understanding of how we learn, including many things that may hold us back, Roller Girl Gang have developed an approach to confidence building through roller skating.

The Skaters' Gallery at our shop became a feature in its own right with hundreds of photos from the skaters who chose our little shop to buy their boots from. The significance of these photos is important to RGG founder Mel.

The week started with a celebration of dance in the form of an event hosted by Leeds Art Gallery - Dance All Night Leeds. We were also delighted to welcome a brand new skater to the shop. ❤️ Do you enjoy hearing about the folks who visit? Would you like to hear more about these people or more side ramble?

It's always been our dream to have a dedicated roller skate space - we've yo-yo'd between a full blown roller rink Vs something smaller. Right now, through discussions with folks coming to our shop and our sessions, we feel a studio is the space we need. Our shop and sessions need to be under the same roof - we will be able to support and reach so many more people! Please check out our pledges ...

I love roller skating and wish I had the confidence to go out on my own without feeling self conscious. Thank you for sharing your stories and good luck with the Skate Sanctuary 🛼 xxx
I do spend a lot of time walking around to find places that feel safe but are a bit quieter and have a nice enough surface. Then headphones and sunglasses will block out most people from your brain! Give yourself three songs to be outside for and then decide if youre having a nice time or not. You don't have to be out for long, but like everything, we can build up skating outside over time x
@@RollerGirlGang thanks so much for the tips, I'll give it a try when I'm feeling brave hehe xxx
What’s behind the curtain
The full wall mural in the thumbnail photo ☺️. You can see it in later videos
👍🏻👌

🎉Happy for you🎉
Fantastic! Remember when Janet took my photo for the wall! Now then, we want to see you Mel, skating in the space!!! xx
This looks amazing 😍😍 I absolutely can’t wait to skate around in here and visit you guys xx
Congratulations 🥂🥹🛼! So exciting and so deserved for all the effort and dedication you put into the West Yorkshire skate community💗!
Thank you

Soooo in love with my new skates once I’d figured the lacing! Made a few cuppa’s in them wearing them in ❤️ Thank you again x
They're gorgeous! Glad they are going to support you to continue your skate journey x
I've not drank alcohol for years now. I don't miss it at all. I much prefer skating to drinking. I don't like the drink culture either. And you do have to consider the insurance/safety side if it, if you've got a lot of people skating and drinking that's accidents waiting to happen.
100% same
Those rose quarts wifas look super nice 😍😉
I live the other side of the country, I’m sick and I can’t skate very much nor visit you, but this. This I can do! Sent you a pledge today.
😭😭😭 hope you feel better soon! When we are in our new studio we will be able to offer classes online ☺️ x
Loving the stories, feel part of the family even when nowhere near Leeds! 🥰
Awww that's good because you definitely are! X
Love these tales about your experiences and the lovely people you get to meet x
RIGHT ON ❤️
I didn't dare attempt that hill at last year's skate picnic 😮 but I might muster the courage this year!
Ah yes, that is such a great hill to learn on 👌🏻
That looks fun! What a cool place to skate
Thank you! It's a nice little cycle track
Woah
Loved this video. It must be a joy to see customers eyes light up with bliss when they find their perfect boot. I love my Lolly boots and always get comments from people. They are exquisitely comfortable. To the point now that I'm hovering over whether to get another pair for outdoors!!! But yes, first entry boots were cheap 'internet' ones until I knew that I was fully invested - which took me a year and a half!!!
It really is such a privilege for folks to let us in to their skate journey. It's also totally normal for skate decisions to take months or years - it's a lot of money to spend. Glad to hear your Lolly boots are serving you well x
Best thing to do on a Friday _ever_ !
Defo enjoy a good roll about to get the week truly out of your body!
💩 poop
I like this, I always think it’s helpful for new people to have some more info about products or services from an actual skate shop, especially as I was clueless before I bought skates as an adult.
This was such a lovely video! It’s so nice hearing these stories, can’t wait for the next one!
Ah thank you Rhianna
Where was this?
At the Tetley, we are offering outdoor meet ups monthly now 😊 (and hopefully more often as the weather improves!)
Your tone is so condescending 👎
Love this. Nice to see new skaters trying than perfect skaters! Wish I lived nearer to you all.
I see York roller disco! Where it àll began for me!
❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for the great breakdown and showing it from the back view too!
1. Slowly and thoroughly. You need to work on the correct movement and technique to build the muscle memory. 2. To music of different speed or at speed (depending on if it's choreography or a rhythmic combination). 3. Focus on the feeling 4. Keep it bouncy 5. Work on looking somewhere that isn't your feet! 6. Keep playing with the movement until you find your flow - dance is a creative style and you can tell whatever story you want.
I usually go with well known manufacturers tbh Bauer, Roces, what are your favourite brands and which ones would you recommend? Chris.
Widely depends on budget, but yes as you say well known brands are better. Sure Grip and Riedell are two of the most reputable brands for quad skates.
The Denver SHUFFLE I absolutely love this dance!!!
Are you an artistic club? I am from a club going into British championships as an espoir
if the boot is glue and you live in a hot area like me dont even think about it ,.make sure they are stitched up and if it glue also the better but just glue look else where , i got custom rollerskate i got from oceanside ca, when i was station there cost me $200 back in 1979 and stitched great leather boots plate is alum. and truck also and now 2024 i still have them , i live in PR now and it so hot that the many of my shoes came unglue because of the heat
Thank you for the skate dancing tutorial! Love it!
It's one of our favourites!
@@RollerGirlGang I love learning on how to dance on skates for a beginner. Your videos help me a lot.
Thank you for this awesome training video on the Zero dancing moves. I love how you made it slow and easy to follow.
You're welcome, hope it helps
@@RollerGirlGang You help me a lot with your technique of training. Keep up the great work!
Good warm up routine before skating to prevent muscle aches and pains. I like to warm up without the skates before I go skating.
Thank you! Are the heel heights the same on both boots?
Can't believe I didn't measure that! Yes, though the WIFA heel is slightly more tapered
Exactly!!
Safety gears definitely help build confidence for me and I do not skate without the full gears on.
Wearing gear has made me a lot more confident overall which is great, but also I end up being overly confident and think I can do anything😂😅.
At least you know yourself!
Hoping you’re okay🩵🛼! You’ve given me so much confidence!
Need to do a follow up really - I'm all good now thank you! But of a bruise on the hand is all x

I was in the process of swapping in new cushions. I had just gotten off the first 2 cushions on 1 of my trucks. Those were stubborn and hard cushions to remove off my old skate that had been in the closet for quite a while. Then I found this helpful video. I used your tip of using bearing oil to make putting on the cylinder cushion easier. Damn that made it quick and easy. Then I thought what if I use the bearing oil to assist with removing the next set of stubborn, old cushions. Heck yeah! Those came off so much quicker and easier. Thank you.
Thank you for the feedback and glad it helped
Oh nooooo! Hope you're ok and the whack to the head didn't shake your brain too badly
I'm okay thank you honey x
Ouch
