SUBREDDIT RULES:

In order to limit repetitive posts, the following topics should be posted in the daily new-skater thread/discussion ONLY: General newbie questions ("I'm new and don't know where to start," "Is skating for me?" etc.); very basic questions about hardware and skate setup, particularly "what wheels should I get" and similar. The weekly thread is the spot for this, and there is also lots of info in the wiki.
Because questions about buying skates and wheels are posted frequently, please limit these to the weekly discussion thread. This includes "I'm thinking about buying X, what does everyone think?" and "what size should I get?"
Please limit buy / sell / trade posts to the weekly "Saturday Skate Market" post, which is posted on Saturday mornings. You can find it by typing that text in the search box on the top of the subreddit. Thanks!
Posts with links to social media (IG, TikTok, YouTube, etc., including video watermarks) with the goal of getting views are strongly discouraged and may be deleted at mods' discretion. We want you to engage, not promote and run. We ask that you maintain a 9:1 ratio of participation in the sub to self-promotion; repeated posts without further community participation will be removed. Posts asking for donations (including GoFundMe links) fall under this rule as well.
We encourage posters who are active in the community to share progress videos. We ask that videos be limited to no more than 1 or 2 per week, especially if the videos are very similar. Videos from posters who are not otherwise active in the community (post and run) may be removed at mods' discretion.
While we fully encourage everyone to wear appropriate safety gear while skating, this is ultimately a personal choice. Unsolicited comments about gear (i.e. "where is your helmet?") will be removed.
This is already covered in the Reddiquette. However it deserves to be emphasized that we will NOT tolerate any remarks which are either: discriminatory, a personal attack on another user, belligerent, harassment, hurtful, or attempting to incite drama. NO EXCEPTIONS! Violation of this rule may result in a warning and/or ban at mods' discretion.
