I'm in the Bay Area but I travel to Seattle often on and off. And yes indeed, I have skated at Lynwood! Back when I used these, they were great there. The key is to wear them in a bit because when they are brand new they have more grip to them than after wearing them in for a bit. That's when the slide kicks in and that crazy grip from when they were new wore off. A lot depends on what you like and are used to. Back then, I had been used to softer, grippier wheels and so 95a was perfect for me. I am now on 98a Rollerbones and have also used those at Lynwood and they were awesome. I also use my 98a's outside and in most surfaces (skating at airports and all the different floors you find there 😂) and my personal preference lies there now. But I think you should be fine with 95a's at Lynwood though at rinks where they also cater to artistic skaters (and therefore make the floor grippier for them) it'll be an issue. I skated at such a rink in Sacramento and could barely function in my 98a's but, luckily, that's not a problem at Lynwood. BUT if you ARE comfortable with a range of durometers, then I'd definitely recommend Rollerbones 98a's over these wheels. I hope this helps!

⁠​⁠​⁠@@MizBoheMiathanks for the detailed reply! I went to Lynwood last night and skated on my moxi Lolly with the stock gummy’s and that’s literally the only ones I have skated on since I was a kid so I’m trying to research what wheels I want for rink skating. I was worried they would be too grippy but I was pretty comfortable on them. They were broken in outside so maybe that helped a little bit. I may not have minded the grip though cause I’m not like an artistic skater so the most advanced skill I have is crossovers, haha! One thing that did bother me about the gummy wheels is how wide they are so I definitely want a new wheel for indoors. And I think I need to clean my bearings, I seemed to lose speed pretty quickly once I stopped pumping, and I do like to skate fast. Thanks for the recommendations, I’m going to look into the ones you mentioned!

@@CryTides My pleasure! Ok, if you are used to the gummys, then jumping straight to something in the 90s might be too much. I’d recommend the Radar Crush seafoam ones. They’re 88a so have good slide and grip, especially when you’re transitioning up the durometer scale. The lilac ones (84a) are good too but not too, too different so if I’d have to pick one over the other, I’d go with the 88a’s. Only big adjustment there is that these wheels are 48mm as opposed to the gigantic size of the Moxi gummy wheels (65mm) but they do give you more control and are amazing wheels (also have reviews on them up). Once you get used to those, then I think going up to the Sure Grips or Rollerbones (my faves) is easier. Then it’ll be a slight adjustment to wheel size again since those are 57mm, but that’s a great standard size and I’ve found that I like to stick to that size in this current stage of my skate journey. A lot of my fellow skaters stick to either 57mm or 48mm sized wheels and when they want to go up in durometer but stay with small wheels, they have skate shops shave the wheels down for them to 48mm.

Hi lovely! First and foremost, thank you for bearing with me. I did receive your email and am behind on EVERYTHING these days! One thing to note with Soultanicals... when they don't have the product in their selection at the moment, the links are taken down. When they are back in stock, they are back up. But they do have an incredible assortment of leave-ins, oils and more to choose from. However, their three creams - Fluffalicious Curl Nutricious, Marulu Muru Moisture Guru and Marula Melon Moisture Guru - don't seem to be available (or at least, last I checked). If you want to try the LOC method, you might have to simply skip the cream or go back in with a bit of leave-in again for that step and then follow it all with a styler. Hair is not a one size fits all, I'm afraid, so what works for me might not work for you. The LOC method is a great starting off point and then you have to listen to your hair and tailor your approach based on what your hair is telling you. Hope this helps!

I did! Sorry for my delayed reply! I am super behind on everything. But JUST posted that video!

Thank you so much! And yes, this mask is seriously amazing! I can't get enough of this line. Glad you loved it too!

@@michelledepasse4309 Thank you! I’d say no cause there are better techniques for furniture out there. This video is one I saved a few years back. But do a search on TH-cam along these lines and you should find a few that resonate with you. Hope this helps and if you try one that works you’ll have to let me know! ❤️ th-cam.com/video/BwiP6zbCblc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=JUkNZRhAMqinc3ju

Thank you so much for your kind words and forgive me the belated reply! How are you doing now, post surgery? How did it all pan out for you? Hoping all is fabulous with you!

How did yours go😨 I may have to get mines off…

Thank you so much! No longer looks like it did here but it's much appreciated! 🥰

❤️❤️❤️

No. As stated in the video, not really for me. And it was as a prepoo, not for my scalp. Coconut oil is not one recommended for the scalp and you want to ensure you properly rinse your scalp so as to avoid clogging your follicles.

Thank you

You are too kind, thank you so much! I give credit a) to Soultanicals and b) to the LOC method, which works wonders for me. However, I've tried the LOC method with so many other brands and it was meh, but Soultanicals? Forever magical!

Thank you so much! ❤️

Thank you! I so appreciate your lovely comments and the follow! And YESSSS on Soultanicals! This brand is beyond magical! I think the main thing is to figure out how best to cater to one's particular hair porosity/texture combo/needs etc... finding that sweet spot.

Hey beautiful! ❤️

Exacto! Hay comentarios de que ven un cambio pero yo no vi nada! Siento que hayas pasado por lo mismo pero pos lo menos ya sabemos que esta marca no funciona para esas cosas! Si estas buscando una mascarilla que funcione como toner me ENCANTA Amika Bust Your Brass Intense Repair Mask. Con esa si que noté unu gran cambio.

Thank you so much! I'm no longer a bimbo blonde but hopefully the hair is still slaying. 😉🤪❤️

I got it in the Knot In Hair Emergency Kit (a Soultanicals bundle). Not sure if they did, or will, sell it individually but with Soultanicals their products flow in and flow out and keep making grand appearances so definitely keep an eye out!

Man, so sorry to hear! There's something definitely off with that setup and I don't quite know what but it didn't work for me AT ALL. If there is any chance you can exchange them, I highly recommend the Lollys! Though at the time of filming they were much closer in pricing than they are now but you can still score them at a decent price by getting the Blems (more info here: www.empireskateshop.com/products/moxi-lolly-skates-pool-blue-closeout?variant=44000887275752)

Thank you so much!

I am! I have no issues with the hand whatsoever. I just haven't been able to test it out for yoga but, beyond that, no issues. My bed is a Murphy bed, and it's quite heavy to close and open, and I use both hands without any issues (and my recent surgery was only 3 months ago). I highly recommend the surgery. Both of my experiences were amazing and pretty much identical when it comes to the results. However, I am not aware of your full situation and what the dislocation of the pisiform bone entails, if anything else was damaged in your hand etc. so it's best to ask your doctor any and all questions you might have. But if there is no healing, no way to put it back, what other choice is there? Sending all the healing vibes I can muster and wishing you an easy journey with your hand!

You are too kind, thank you ❤️🙏🏽

Thank you so much! His name is Ziggy. ❤️

@@MizBoheMia Cute! 🥰

@@jilliandreams Thanks!

Glad that in spite of it not really working for my hair it helped you gauge whether it would work for yours! The toning issues aside, nothing about the mask worked for me at all. My go to, cannot rave about it enough brand is Soultanicals so much so that I have SOOOO much Soultanicals products to work my way through I don't have time to test anything else. 😂 I feel that if this worked for you you will have a wider range of products that should work for you as well (which is always the dream). Sending love from the Bay!

@@MizBoheMia Hey !! thanks for your reply. Actually I've just watch your review on K18 and that's the product I need ;) Your full test on 6 weeks had convinced me !! By the way, about toning product, have you ever tried the mask "Nutri Color" by Revlon (specially the 1002 or 1022 for you ) ? I've seen great feedbacks, about the toning and the nutrition/conditioning effects. I can' t wait to bleach and dye my hair and use theses products. PS : your hair color is DIVINE !! so classy and unique. Love it :)

Thank you so much on all counts! I am sure k18 will be a great help! As for my hair color, it's all gray now so if that's the one you are referring to, thank you! 😉❤️ And no to Revlon. It's an animal testing company so I've never used anything by them but I'm glad you've found what works for you!

I have since given my Suregrips away so I no longer have them here to test that out though I did, on different occasions, hold them up side by side, wheels to wheels and I don't think I noticed different like that. BUT, oftentimes even a subtle difference like that can definitely affect where the lean is. I talked to the owner of a local skate shop who mounts plates unto skates and asked her about it and she said that there are many factors involved from the plate size not being right for the boot (though these came with the plates) or sometimes something as subtle as the location of the plate not being in the right spot. But if I cross paths with some Suregrip Boardwalks again I'll try to check out the plate and wheel locations for sure! Thanks for letting me know!

@@MizBoheMia thank you for the video, there are less reviewer videos to compare skates and I find them really helpful.

My pleasure! Glad it was helpful! ❤️🙏🏽

I also legit felt like my hair feels thinner. It’s weird and awful.

Girl, I sooooo feel you!!! That brand makes NOOOOO sense to me AT ALL! At another point, before chronicling my journey on TH-cam, I had tried a whole set of their products and it was a DISASTER! I thought it might have been because of how damaged my hair was so I thought I'd give one product a try here since my hair was doing better but, no. NEVER AGAIN. I do NOT see the appeal AT ALL!

They sold it last year in summer during National Pineapple Day with their Pineapple Collection. Not sure if they've ever sold it solo before? Honestly, products come and go so fast sometimes on Soultanicals I just nab them when I can. Smells SOOO delicious!

You are too kind! Thank you so much! And oh the hair! Not blonde anymore! Nor short! I let it grow out gray and it's much longer and healthier now but I appreciate the kind words! I LOVED it while I had it and now it looks so odd to me when I look back on it! 🤪

So glad to hear they're working for you! As for Lolly's, keep an eye out on FB marketplace. Sometimes you can find them new or almost new at a better price!

So glad to hear!

I am 6 days out from surgery. The pain, burning, and itching sucks but I am trying to get through it. Returned to work today because I can type, but my forearm hurts from typing. I'll get through it though! I've had more pain today than the first few days after the nerve block wore off. My sister is a physical therapist and says it is only because I'm using my hand. My diagnosis ended up being bursitis and mild arthritis. I am glad you don't regret it and are doing well with the second!

Aaah! So sorry to hear that you are feeling pain, burning and itching! I wonder if having the extra elements of bursitis and arthritis affects that. For me it was purely an issue of an injured pisiform bone (which they label pisotriquetral arthritis) so I didn't feel horrible pain or burning etc. It WAS helpful that on day 6 the first time around, and day 8 this past surgery, they took the splint off (though usually they do it at the two week mark I think). That gave me so much relief! Hoping you get to that point soon! Sending all the healing vibes I can muster!

Yeah, no.

It has! And this video is from a few months back. It's a bit longer now!

I am trying to hold off for a minute. I literally have a mini fridge full of products I have yet to try! 😂 I go in for my second hand surgery Monday (which is why I recently got a braidout) so using that as an excuse to not shop for now. I HAD purchased two of the Magical Molasses Deep Constructors in salon size and was dying for them to get here (cannot get enough of the scent and how well it works for me) but they refunded me because they had oversold. That was my biggest gift to self and I'm so bummed it's not coming! Summer or winter, my hair laps it up! How about you? What's on your must have list?

It was decent. But I think that Hair To The Rescue Afrovedic Knot Goo is still my number one co-wash so far!

My hair is not purple. What are you going on about?

Um, yeah, and I say AND do that. Why are you yelling about it???

You are too kind, thank you! I so appreciate your kind comment and your taking the time to check in! Sending love and appreciation from the Bay Area!
