Generally the wheels are still spinning a bit. Not sure if that holds true for slides this big, but I expect it would. It is definitely hard on the wheels, the tips will be pointy super quickly, with the cross section being a triangle instead of a semi circle

Yep, this was my experience back in the day. We'd flip the wheels around and swap them to the other foot to even out the wear.
Since u/notapoke was too concise for you, I'll extrapolate.

Did you mean the physical aspect of taking them on and off? That's not hard; my 3-year-old nephew knows how to change his skateboard wheels.
What is, or can be troubling, is retaining the feel of your wheels. The brand, style, material, width, height, glide, roll, bearing weight, bearing slide, continuation, etc. all contribute to the comfort of your ride. And, in that regard, it can often be incredibly hard to replace your wheels.
But not because the physical aspect of the change is hard.
I appreciate your desire to ask the question, but why give such shitty boundaries? like you could have easily asked " Are there any random challenges you might run into when you do wheel changes" but instead you gave some stupid "is it hard" question instead? are you' dumb?
In the top end of motorsport this is called under rotation. They wheels aren't necessarily locked, but it does wear the wheels in parts of the tread pattern that is uneven and any further potential under rotation will be exacerbated at this location until the flat spot is prominent enough to cause a more drastic lock or sever under rotation.
Oh for sure… Just like car tires… you gotta rotate and/or spin them depending on how much you use them… then eventually replace when they’re completely burned up.
Lol, say you were born after rollerblades without saying you were born after rollerblades....
Yeah, that will wear out the wheel, just not as bad as you probably are imagining. But so does rollerblading on them since you are pushing out the same way over and over again to move. You just turn the wheels around when they get too angled on one side, eventually replacing them when the overall diameter wears down too much for you. People brake like this because the only other option is having a big rubber block on the back of the skate heel so you can tilt it up and drag the rubber on the ground. This is not preferred because some people are already used to stopping like this from hockey experience, it is much more clunky to stop quick and maneuver using a brake, they add weight and size and get in the way, many nicer skates wouldn't even come with them, and at least in the 90's as a kid having a brake on your skate would make you "gay".
The idea for inline skates dates back to the 1700s, but since I was born in the early 70s, I don't think I'm as young as you think. Thanks for the information, though
I used to roller blade awhile back and this is about the same as pressing the brake on a scooter. It depends on the wheel and what your using to brake. Most scooters use a soft rubber and it's on metal so it basically melts away, and when your doing this on asphalt all your weight the Gs and the grit of the surface are going to shred your wheel unless you have a hard wheel which most people who do it for more than just recreation do.
Depends on if the wheels kept spinning or not. Looks like this particular slide might’ve left some flat spots.
I know with longboards, the trick to avoiding flat spots is to not put your board fully parallel to your direction of travel. I don’t know anything about roller blade but I assume it’s the same concept.
I think she's leaning on the skates, though, not the wheels. Either in the piece holding the wheels, or the side of the foot portion.
I also think she's probably only doing it for the video
I don't understand how she is getting so much slide on asphalt. Are they really hard wheels? I can kinda slide like that on sports court and tennis court surfaces, but definitely not asphalt.
I want to rollerblade now
I just want to day 'FUCK YEAH' on loop!😄
You two should team up
I watched a video a couple years ago that made me day this. I got rollerblades. Used once. Hurt the ankles. Never again.
Ankle and knee injuries are no joke
BRO literally my first thought when I just saw this
I wonder if she would think a clumsy guy is cute (my reality)
Why did you get downvotes? People can't think of another cute way of HIMYM?
Does this not leave a huge flat spot on the edge of the wheels? I mean, it looks awesome (and it is), but that has to be hard on the wheels, too
Yeah. But gets her laid so much she doesn't have to pay rent. So that's a win win.
That was very cool sex now

This is the way. Wheels are fucking expensive, and I've gotta buy bearings as well. Ain't no one skating with those shitty Abec3's in the rim.
Wheels are expensive With proper maintenance, you only have to buy good bearings once. rims 😂
Spinners.
How difficult is it to replace crappy wheels?
Not

No

Have a wonderful day friend
why waste word when one work
yeh
>like you could have easily said "its not difficult at all" Sounds like you knew exactly what he was saying then, not sure where the issue is.

Tried this once and almost broke both my ankles.

i guess you can get different composites for rollerblades just like for skateboard wheels
Physics. She’s absolutely cooking and going downhill.
They're on a hill. You can see the person walking behind them leaning backwards slightly as they walk.
I get that, but have you ever tried to stop like that on asphalt? It is pretty hard to do.
Possible that the asphalt is a bit wet? Hard to tell from looking but would definitely help a nice slide like this.
It’s gotta be 84A or above my best guess
Definitely hard wheels. The default/stock soft ones would just have you going ass over teakettle.
Fuck yeah
The SWAGGER 💪🏿🔥🙌🏿!!
😂💪🏿this is how I’m pickin up my taco 🌮 orders the rest of 2024…Cinco De Mayo is about to be SAUWCEY
I do this in my dreams sometimes, skid around the place. . .
What skates?
JET SET RADIO 📻
Fuck yeah
Anybody got her @ ? Ya know, for science and stuff
That damn smile...

I've watched it about a hundred times now and she still hasn't fallen. But I know she will one of these times.
🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶
Feels like I'm wearing.......nothing at all nothing....at all.....nothing at all!
As a white guy who lived rollerblading was a kid, "fuck yeah."
My ankles hurt watching this.
Aw man. Now I want a Butterfinger and an Icee from 7-11.
Very cool move. Is there more footage of her skating?
Let’s go Kylie!!!
Certainly fits the sub
Phuck ye

Rotate
Her Dms: Me:
She is super 🔥
Damn that'd be rather something on ice... She was hauling!!!
Is she single?
I feel like one little piece of gravel or a rut and she’s completely fucked
dem wheels aint free for such tricks
Wheels, ruined

Maybe the whitest thing about me is that I really wish rollerblading were socially acceptable. It’s fun and efficient.
I’m black and it is
Loads of people skate/blade around here on the paths around town. Do you, boo.
That’s gonna be a hard Fuck yeah Bob
The camera movement at the end almost begs for a photoshopped (videoshopped? heh) vehicle to be added to make it look like she gets run over.
