This is why I LOVE your channel. You actually skate. Your reviews are you skating in new skates. When you changed your wheels you actually rode on them and now a video of nothing but skating for 20 minutes!! Do you have any idea how many times I've searched for videos just like this? This is a perfect example of why I really enjoy your videos. Thank you so much for this.
WOW! 😭 thank you so much !! You really understand my channel , I love it 💙 I’ve had an idea for this type of video and finally got it out ! Thank you for watching 🥰
Exactly. And this is not to shade other channels or start mess, but how many unboxings can people possibly do with little to no skating footage? I mean... it’s a TH-cam channel and skating content would help channels grow. Doesn’t have to be professional or perfect. I love all skating channels where people actually skate. Again, no shade.
@@ADM651 Living in NYC in these small apartments dont give me much space to do practical techniques. and im so shy to go outside and try alone so i tried to look for some roller skating groups in NYC but no luck😭 and i have social anxiety so i just gave up trying to search for people and being afraid "what if i dont fit in either"(im on the heavier side as well so i might not be as good) and they moved so many in-door Roller skating rinks out of my neighborhood and turned them into condos. So i didnt know what else to do. now i just skate in a circle by my elevator lol.
Akosua Donkor, Let me start by expressing my appreciation to you for expressing your feelings, the challanges faced with roller skating, our physical limitations and anxieties can easily weaken our mind to be made up and quit. I too struggle with Social Anxiety Disorder, being chunky overweight 230 lbs. now, but chunky all my life, I continue to be relentless in an insecure world with my insecurities as well. Not being able to control or anticipate the outcome of an unknown venture can hinder persons like you and myself. I am some what familiar with New York and yes, street terrain is a challanges but you what? It's the perfect challanges for anxious driven personalities like us, why? Because we expect something to occur, like fall in public and expect the 😳 stare which frightens the heck out of us. Yes, Everytime I go roller skating in So. California boardwalks, bike paths... I fall... and I really eat it😆 but you know what I learned... "Get up, Get up, Get up, and keep moving“ yes, it stings our ego and we are waiting to see peoples reaction but when you get up immediately and keep rolling, it's done and there is nothing to see because you are focused on continuing practicing. Just Like the wind, it comes and goes. To enjoy Rollerskating it takes practice first and then like all goals it is humbling enough to ground us 😉 Literally. I started practicing 20-30 minutes at a time, not daily because my anxiety kicks in and I become afraid. Later, While practing at the board walk, yes, people stare but you know what? reflecting at the end of the day, I had to decide is this for my enjoyment? yes, yes it is so I will continue practicing. Will I fall? if I keep looking down on the ground yes, it I look forward ahead to avoid the fall I may just survive. Survival mode! 😁 So, let me drive the point to it's conclusion. Wear full protective gear head, elbows, and knee pads because it is a bumpy road ahead to learn how to rollerskate and practice. Forget about social media rolkerskater show offs for now and focus on your goal. Keep your expectations simple, forget about joining a group for now. Watch videos on TH-cam, My favorite is Dirty Debra Harry she helps me a lot to this day as well as several of the famed rollerskating Mama's out there, (Learn how to adjust your roller skates, use the proper street wheeles, barings etc. That is important to ease the skating anxiety too, I use cushioned insoles to ease the foot pain too), Even if it means to practice for a few minutes in Central Park where there is grass to cushion your stops, or your street early morning, late at night or when it's calm... in N.Y.? well, the park. Take a back pack, your gear, and water and maybe an ice pack too 😁 and do this for your happiness and acheiving your goal. I hope this has inspired you to get back on your roller skates and keep on rollin' Sistah!! Enjoy Akosua Donkor I dedicate this song to you, "Good Times" by Le Chic 🙂
@@ADM651 I know you’re not talking to me, but I was really inspired by your words. I also have a lot of insecurities and social anxiety and I’m afraid to embarrass myself on my skates. I just ordered my first pair yesterday and I’m wondering how I’ll manage to skate alone and with confidence. Very few people skate in my area so I don’t have any skating buddies. I’m really afraid of falling or looking silly on my skates. But you’re right, it’s not for anyone else... It’s for me and my happiness. Sometimes we just gotta put ourselves first and forget what people think because I guarantee no one is lying awake at night thinking about how silly we looked on skates. The only person who even cares about that is ourselves. And even if we do look goofy, anyone who sees us will likely forget about us within 5 minutes. I think a lot of us with social anxiety forget that at the end of the day, most people don’t really care how we look.
Subscribed! :) I've been watching you for the past few weeks and I love your quirky style. Your extremely pretty and unique :) the music is refreshing and I look forward to more of your content! I hope to be able to skate as well as you 🥕🥕🥕🥕
Haha I’m sorry but I was racing the clock to make it on time on Wednesday! I’ve been trying to stick consistent on uploading every week 😅🥰✨ love you for being here anyway tho 🥺
Ohi mami.. esto es talmente lindo y suave para sentir.... 💓 the funny thing is that usually this time (of the night) to relax I always watch skating videos and later on listen something chill like this 1 to relax more and fall asleep completely... So today I could do both in one time thAnx 2 you 💟 Awesome Location too 😍
@@KarentheKarrot no way I ve missed the notification. Thanxxxx 2 you ❣️even for showing a piece of Cali.. Hope yo going to do more music vids on skates 😘💋💋💋
Hi Karen, I love this video!💛 I would actually want to recommend a pair of skates for you to try out. They’re called Chaya Melrose elite, they have adjustable toe stops and their wheels are both beautiful and nice to ride outside. I think they’re about 150$ and I got them last year (the ones I got are named Chaya Melrose elite love is love🥰) they’re really really nice and I would love for you to try them out. I don’t remember if they’re vegan though so you’ll probably have to look that up. Thank you for your time, and this videos is the perfect one if I have a bad day, or just want to chill.✨💚💛🌱
I love you cos your body type is similar to mine (short and thicc) and it makes me feel like I can still be super sexy on skates even though I’m not hella skinny like a lot of girls I see skating on tik tok. I just ordered my first pair of skates and am supposed to get this by this weekend :)
Hey Karen!! I 💙💙💙 your videos! I have been very busy these days and don’t get to see your videos, so I sincerely apologize. I wanted to know if you go to the roller rinks. If so, it would be so cool to see a vlog of you in a roller rink. #RollerGirlForever🛼 P. S.: Whatever happened to your friend Scarlet? How is she doing? I hope she’s well and that she gets to be in your vlog again.
This is kind of a strange question but, how do you find out what tennis courts are ok to skate on? I am learning how to skate and there aren't many flat/smooth places around but there are quite a few courts. I assume any public one would be ok but I was just curious :)

She gave us 20 minutes 🥺❤️
20 peaceful minutes 😌✌🏽
AND 1 SECOND
I wanted to watch skating with a headache and you gave me soft sounds and nice visuals. All heroes don’t wear capes; some wear skates 🧚🏾♀️
I got discouraged learning how to skate. But, I always come back to see Karen skate and have fun :]
I’m glad I could help bb 🥺✨
Can I ask you, why did you get discouraged from roller skating?

When you skate with your dogs ❤️🥺🥺 is it hard to not let them get entangled?
Kinda , you have to be super aware of the space that you give them 🐶
First!!😊
Daaamn ur so rad
just want to know how are you storing your skates in selves ? :D

How many outfits should I put in 1 video ? 🤔
@@KarentheKarrot hmmm...your favorite ones? Thanks for replying! I started skating and I watch your videos all the time to learn!! Ly

can you do 24 hours in skates

You see it, skate it! 👌🏾
@@chloespop Thank you so much! very appreciated :)
What’s your spotify
Lol I wish I can skate with my dog but my big ass Boxer will literally drag me all the way through 😭🤪
Lol probably! It can be possible tho!
How long have you been skating for ? 🛼🥕
Todays problem is i was on the town and bought some sardines. Now my shoes smell like fish. If my shoes were suregrip fames what would i do?
Clean the boot without getting the hardware wet
About 15 minutes longer than I need due to busting my butt. But it can be lay on the ground chill beats.
