OMG literally as I was editing the caption and links for this video found out a pleasant surprise that now there ARE JAM PLUGS FOR BOLT ON SKATES YAYYYYYYYY! So ignore what I said about them not being available for bolt on toe stop skates in the video. :)
I was literally just about to say this 🙂 I got my bolt on plugs from Rollerstuff and they've got the metal posts now. SO GOOD!! I love them and they've made such a difference to my spin game, even if I am falling over like a baby skater again 😂😂
I watched to the end of the video and I saw that you wore all those things with your skates and stuff. I thought that was like sooooooo cool. I really liked watching this video and I am going to watch another one right now. see ya! 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
I'm running into the opposite problem because the skates I've had for like, 15 years defaulted to jam plugs. So I learned on jam plugs but now I'm switching to toe stops and I keep dragging my stop on the rink floor and wiping out. I hate being so rusty lolol
Hey Rebel! I actually just started skating a couple months ago with not much practice. I actually fell pretty hard last week and compression fractured my spine a bit. I really wanna keep going on though!! I want to learn this. Your "message to new skaters" video came across my suggestions and made me feel like I shouldn't give up. Is it normal to be kinda afraid to start this back up? Thank you for your videos!
I put my jam plugs in a week ago... so much more freedom to move (only indoors though lol). I was able to get little baby spins on the toes... and I must say, it feels a little scary still. Baby steps. I love your videos!
I am really lucky in that I own a pole, it has been so helpful having something so solid to hold onto (I am 47, and a breast cancer survivor, so trying hard not to break myself).
Highly insightful video! Thank you! I would love to dance more freely on skates. However, I am so used to having a toe stopper that I need that security there. Lol
Avanti Plate + Short Stem Toe Stop = Best of both worlds. :) I'm too old to completely ditch the stop all together. LOL But any taller (higher profile) plate, with short stem stops ALL the way in, work about the same. The jam, shuffle, and rhythm skaters at the rink can't figure out how I do the same moves they're doing with stops still on. I like cheating. LMAO
Could you maybe to a video on rink etiquette? I’ve been skating twice a week for about two months and it seems like no matter what I do I’m getting run over by kids AND adults that like to use me as a traffic cone. I have sensory issues so my first instinct when some gets way to close to me is to clothesline them 😂. I’m not sure if I’m doing something wrong or if people are just rude
I’ll be like 6 inches from the edge in a near empty rink and they HAVE to squeeze past me just for the challenge. I hate it and it’s making skating really hard to enjoy
@@kyleighdriver7218 I think people are just being rude, it’s common sense to move around if someone is in the way. I’m sorry that you’re experiencing this and I hope things have gotten better for you!
I'm so easily startled and it lowkey triggers my fight or flight so I feeeel this. I understand wanting to be a show-off but showing off by how close you can get to other skaters without hitting them is SUCH a dangerous game and invasive. it reminds me of drivers who will cut you off just bc they want to assert dominance, even though they have all the space they could wish for lmao.
Great video! I am eagerly awaiting my order of pre-owned skates to see if I can do this thing after a very long time not skating. I've *never* used jam plugs, but I'll be considering them if I can get wheels under me and progress again. Cheers! (to the Queers!
I just shared this to our roller skate crew Rip It Skaters in New Orleans! We are beginners, but ready to switch it out to jam plugs to do more dance moves. Also, that tool is rad! Where can I buy one?
Thank you so much - this was the best explanation I was able to find! Question - what is another workaround besides screwing in the toe stops all the way up? I'm not ready to give up my toe stops, but I want to jam skate. What about a shorter toe stop, or one that is angled, like the Pacer Mini Hugger Toe Stops? Would that allow me to drill my dribbles/toe spins/crazy legs? Thanks so much again :)
Hi! I just ordered a pair of Grindstone Heartstopper Lils because I they say they are a good transition from the regular toe stop to a jam plug. Question - do I still need to use the nut and washer that came with my original toe stop or do I just screw on the Lil? BTW - love watching/learning from your videos!
I switched for the first time this weekend.. no matter how much I tried to remind myself that the toe stops weren't there, i still fell so hard like 5 times xD I think I have to go back to toe stops...
@@amyleesuits i realized it super plate dependent. My plate has a lot of toe stop housing so I can screw a long stem toe stop all the way in. I use pilot falcon.
you can try to loosen the laces at the widest part of your foot and then tighten them again at your ankle, and i think rebel posted a video about different Ways and you can lace your skates to accommodate your foot
OMG I had those for when I artistic skated, for figures and compulsory dance. I hated them, I fell so many times! (For the record, I didn't like dance or figures at all, they just made me do them.) Also, do you know if there is a plate that has a jump bar/is made for artistic skating that a grind block will fit on? I want to build a pair of skates again, and I definitely want to go to parks, but I might want to do some jumps and spins too.
I'm an experienced skater but as an adult have NEVER skated outside! I have skates and precision wheels, however I want to buy a new pair of skates and I need to know what wheels I should buy to get the same results outside as inside with the precision wheels. I'm already used to the dance stops (jam plugs) I just would like your recommendation on the best durometer size wheel to use for outdoor rhythm skating. I love love love dancing on skates! PLZ HELP
I have a question if you can help me, VNLA Freestyle Avanti Deluxe Jam Skate is the skates that I have, Where am I plug is on the side is a little place where I can use at all I’m not sure if that’s for tightening the plug or not can you tell me if I’m if that’s right
In the UK jam plugs are so hard to get hold of the few who have them have jacked the prices to unreasonable levels. No way is a pair of jam plugs worth £25. In dollars that's around $34 FOR ONE PAIR. I'm not paying that. I thought of buying regular toe stops & slicing them down in half then sanding them smooth and round? No idea if it will work but a pair of toe stops here cost under a tenner.
I put jam plugs in my skates a week ago and it’s so much better to practice! Then, yesterday, I found out that I have stress fractures in my big toe! 😭 WHYYYYYYYYY!!! No skating for several weeks, for me. I hate it here. 😒
Is there a way to train yourself to enjoy roller skating? Like how to feel good while skating? I spent a solid month practicing everyday and got okay at rolling around, but quit because it was so nerve wracking and frustrating. I wanna have fun :(
Find people to do it with. I didn't enjoy skating till I joined clubs because I like learning from other people and just having fun with it with other people even when I'm not learning anything. -artistic skating dance classes -roller derby -inline hockey (not quad skates tho) -local social groups (find on FB, notice boards etc) or you can just go out to a skate park or beach boardwalk and find other skaters to skate with, or just try convince a friend to come do it with you somewhere.
I need a pair of Moxo skates bad. I just love the material of those skates, not as hard as the leather skates. Anyone know were I can find a pair? I wear a was size 8.
PLEASE do not push long stem toe stops all the way into your plate where you no longer see the stem or very little of it. You will end up ruining your boot. That can only be done with short stem toe stops.
so true i wish i had known this before I ruined my plate doing this, luckily the replacement chassis kit for my skate was nice and cheap, just waiting for short stem toe stops now
When I ordered my first pair of skates, I ordered jam plugs because I was planning on doing dance skating. Well, my skates arrived weeks after I got mu jam plugs. So with my stock stoppers on, I was showing my son how to walk on his stoppers, so he wouldn't slide back down the driveway. Well, I'm used to toe picks on ice skates. So I am used to finding my toe picks at a 20 degree angle. With my roller skates, I felt I was at a 70 degree angle. I fell down hard. My son was like, "so you want me to kill myself? I'm good, thanks." When this happened, I realized I may never need the jam plugs, because I would never put my foot in a 90 degree angle!
OMG literally as I was editing the caption and links for this video found out a pleasant surprise that now there ARE JAM PLUGS FOR BOLT ON SKATES YAYYYYYYYY! So ignore what I said about them not being available for bolt on toe stop skates in the video. :)

So...up next...are you going to review a NST plate? Kudos if you do, I'm too terrified.
I watched to the end of the video and I saw that you wore all those things with your skates and stuff. I thought that was like sooooooo cool. I really liked watching this video and I am going to watch another one right now. see ya! 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
Your hair is lookin great. Your bright smile is always wonderful to see.
Definitely would love a vid about toe stops, thanks rebel
Bowie was really out there serving camerapooch. I love to see it!
*Takes notes*
“Stopping on jam plug=falling on your face”
😂
Watching this video but my first pair of skates haven't even arrived yet... 😂 🥴
Girl me too. My first skates arrive tomorrow
Me too!!! So excited 😁
@@Mwhittle95 LUCKY mine arrive on Monday🥲
@@Bear12_ what kind of skates did you buy?
@@Mwhittle95 c7 skate I heard they are good

Also jam plugs prevent your plate from doing damage to your local rinks floor! Thanks for the all the vids. Srsly helped me during quarentine

Oh, the jam plug I got is the sure grip dance plug. I really would like to get a pair of the jammerz that light up!

I put some videos too, so check me out lol
This video was so informative been searching for a review on what I need to know about dance skates and you just nailed it for me. Thanks much
Highly insightful video! Thank you! I would love to dance more freely on skates. However, I am so used to having a toe stopper that I need that security there. Lol
FINALLY thank you for teaching me all these things. I can finally roller skate I've watched all your videos so far!
Thank you for explaining this! It would be very helpful to understand the difference between long and short stem toe stops. Thank you, Rebel!! 🥰🥰
Doing a video about toe stops would be very helpful 😊
I'm using the heartstopper lils from grindstone , they are small toes stops
I love your videos! I just ordered my first quads since elementary school-wheeeeee!

I've been wondering about the pros and cons of dance plugs so this was great! Quick question- can you still wear regular toe caps with jam plugs?
yes i think you can

Yep do another session on toe jams
Anyone know what toe stops she got at 1:11? I can't seem to find any big toe stops like that anywhere!

Can you make a vid on sliding blocks?
Love your earrings! 😍😍😍

I just make my toe stops higher

Hello, I have the pineapple yellow moxi lolly skates, can you tell me what size jam plugs will fit my skates?
How do you know what sizing you should get , between 5/8 and 5/16
Great videos. Subscribed! 👍🏾
Awesome, thank you!
Just have a question please!
I bought impalas online and didn’t realize how narrow they are! Any way to widen them a bit?
you can try to loosen the laces at the widest part of your foot and then tighten them again at your ankle, and i think rebel posted a video about different Ways and you can lace your skates to accommodate your foot
Which skate is the green skate ? If anyone can help 😊

So I skate with toe stops but I don’t use them. I guess I should just get jam plugs 🤷♀️
I just got the rise gold impala Skates but they are tight around the bone you get bunions on. How do I break in or stretch that part of my skate out?
are your earrings made of lego pieces. Super cute. Also did you review those bowl bomber wheels?
Can I add jam plugs to impalas ?
how do i know what size to get?
What are these dance moves called?????
I have a question if you can help me, VNLA Freestyle Avanti Deluxe Jam Skate is the skates that I have, Where am I plug is on the side is a little place where I can use at all I’m not sure if that’s for tightening the plug or not can you tell me if I’m if that’s right
