Those plates come with Moxi Lollys. You need the wrench tool to loosen the nut against the plate, then you can unscrew the toe stop. The washer goes between the plate & the nut. Remember to put the washer back or the toe stop will loosen up as you use it. I learned the hard way by accident! 😅 Thank you for the great review! 🥰 P.S. I have since upgraded my plates to Reactor Neo and it's so much better!!😁
haha yea I'm very familiar with the plate because of my Lolly's. First time I used them I lost my toe stop + nut because it fell off randomly somewhere haha but yes I tried the wrench but it started to strip the bolt because its just that tight :( Gotta get some e400 or something to loosen that baby up
yes I'm having the same problem, it is too tight !! how did you manage to loosen it up in the end? I need advice thanks for your review !! :)@@groovyrollerskate
Loving the structure of these skates… ankle support is a must for me and I like that it’s for wide feet ppl. And I prefer skates with removable stoppers. The colour is 🔥 🔥
@@MeowPictures If you have the chance visit a skate shop and try them on to see how well they fit. My preference is to have a wide toe box so that my toes have wiggle room.
@@missjoriccac8481 I learned most skates are sized in Men's. For instance, I'm an 8 Women's, so I needed an 7 Men's. Most skate brands have a size chart, so please check first if you can't try on a pair.
Thank you for this review!!! I’m trying to figure out which skates will be my first upgrade this summer- getting super excited with all the options out there 😍
@@groovyrollerskate I ordered some beautiful red Jackson Vista Vipers! I tried on my moms in-lines with those boots haha and they have the support for long rides in the summer and enough forward flex for dancing! Can’t wait for them to get here and the snow to melt 😝
I always love Riedell (indoor and outdoor) - I've had my R3 derby skates since 2012 (skating on city streets, parks, rinks etc) and haven't needed an upgrade. Although I'd love a pair like yours...I like that they're so good for wide feet. Can't recommend enough!
I've been a fan of Riedell since I bought my first pair of real skates in 1984. Been off of skates since 88 though. Tried Shitcago uktras and they are CRAP so I sent them back. My wife has never skated before. She's now 61 and I just ordered these skates for her. I also ordered 120s for myself (same boot but stronger plate for my fat butt) looking forward to getting back to 8 wheel dancing.
These look really nice!! If I didn't already have 3 pairs of Chayas and a red Jackson Vista, I'd probably order those yellow ones.... but you know....Christmas is coming lol...
bahahaha, ditto. 2 x Chaya, a pair of Lunas and a pair of Bonts, but Chaya's too narrow for me and I'd like a classic boot with more support :D Eyeing these now
Hey hun I have a question, so I’m a half size would you get a size bigger or go according to your actual size, their size chart is low key giving me mental arthritis 😅
It would be great if these skate influencers would tell companies like Riedell to update their adverts and online presence (Website) to include people of color. For example - The Riedell Roller website has zero african-americans or Latin/Afro-Latin folks. Jam/Rhythm skating has major influences from Hip-Hop/R&B/Disco and many of the innovative challenging moves originate from these communities of color.
Id like to do a skate review for a different company, i have a question, hopefully you could kindly respond, did they send you skates for the video and review?
haha omg girl! I JUST got them off today. Had to use some "speed cream" from roller bones. its typically for making your wheels roll smoother but i think any oil would work really to loosen those bad boys up :)
Ich kaufe auch Riedell Boots 111 (schwarz), damit meine Wohnung auch Tanzen üben , Boden ist Laminat sehr Gut. Viele Dank toller auferklärung . English : I also buy Riedell Boots 111 (black) so that my apartment can also practice dancing, the laminate floor is very good. Many thanks great explanation.
I just got these in crimson love them but wheels are loud and bulky on tennis court. Do i just need to give em time?? Or should i get softer or harder wheel?? I love the boot.
I think time and practice will help you get used to them! They're super buttery on the courts for me but also play around with different wheels it mostly depends on what you're doing :)
I'm sorry but THE HAIR, love it
heheh Love my little groovy hairstyles now 😁 Thank you beautiful 💖🙏

@@groovyrollerskate I was terrified to strip the nut too!! Thank you for your great reviews and tutorials too, they've been very helpful to me 🥰🥰

yes I'm just now starting to learn the importance of having solid ankle support after my accident. These babies make me feel very safe 😁💖🙏
So does it mean that it wouldn't work for narrow feet people?

Looking fab, Groovy Mama! Always loving your flow. Thank you for sharing with us.
Thanks so much! Always so excited to share literally everything with the groovy fam 😁💖🙏
I can’t wait for spring so that I can go skate. It’s currently too cold here in the north🥶🥶🥶🥶
Yes! You're not alone! Spring can't come fast enough!
omg yesss spring is almost here and we can skate together again 😁💖🙏
only a couple more weeks! AHHH
Hello do you recommend the same size as your shoes for wide foot? The fatty part of my feet I'm worried about. I wear a size 7 n women

Soooo many good options! Just think about what you need support wise and budget wise :) Its always so exciting getting a new skate 😊💕

yes honestly, I wasnt expecting to love the stiff boot this much but I feel so safe and like I can literally do ANYTHING hehehe
You’re amazing. Thanks for the review. I’m going to buy some skates for my birthday to go to the rink. I’m excited.
I miss skating! I had just learned how to skate backwards when I found out I need rods in my back. No skating for a year now. 😞
oh no😞 Im so sorry bb 😞 Sending you lots of love and healing energy! 🙏 Hope to see you back on wheels next year! 💖

Yes, I agree the powerdyne plate is kinda sad but I absolute LOVE everything else! They'll be fine for jamming thats for sure I feel so safe now hehe

I just ordered the Turmeric colored ones.🧡 So excited for them to get here!✨ I’m a beginner.🙊 Wish me luck!🍀
Still waiting on my skates in turmeric. I’ve been told could take 6 months. How long did it take for you to get your red skates?
They didn’t take long at all maybe 2-3 weeks? 6 months is a lonnngg time 😪 you should contact them and see what’s up
Just got the yellow pair and I love ittt🥺
yay so happy for you

Wheels aren’t good for indoor?
Awesome vid 👏👏👏
This convinced me!
Did you ever get the toe stop off? I’m still trying 😕

Are these good for outdoor skating on cement
Yes definetly!
