ASMR Roller Skating Outdoors Tips & Tricks
A sunny skate around Leeds city centre with some suggestions to work up to skating outdoors. I am often asked about outdoor roller skating - I've been skating around the city for over a decade now and love it. BUT I'm unwilling to take unnecessary risks. To some, not wearing safety pads may seem like an unnecessary risk, please understand that we all assume a level of risk, based on what we are confident with. I know the route and surfaces extremely well, and am concentrating! Is cruising round a city on skates something you do or want to do? #asmrsounds #asmrvideo #asmrskating #skating #skatelife #skatecoach
