How to carry your skates - backpack, fanny pack, carabiners?

We all had to carry skates at some point. What's the best way to carry them?

If you like Thundrblade, please buy me a coffee so I can keep working on it

I use a large belt hooked through the two rear 'handles' of my skates and wear the belt on my shoulder like a satchel, the skates resting on the opposite side of my waist. I can still wear my small, light rucksack (room enough for water and shoes) and it doesn't add as much weight when compared to strapping my skates onto a large rucksack.

Other advantages include being able to hold on to the belt or skates to reduce the weight significantly while walking, the great convenience of being able to take the skates off very easily, especially when on crowded public transport or when storing them in the office and, of course, the cheap price.

I recommend using a belt that's at least 40 inches and is stretchy and made mostly of polyester.

Thanks! I usually tie them together by their laces and throw them over my shoulder.

As soon as you mentioned the carry on, I had to pause and try it. They fit perfectly (width and length) and only take up one side so I can still get clothes in there. Guess I'll be skating on all my business trips now. :)

If it's summer time, get a bumbag, wear flip flops and put your skates in a large shopping bag. When it's time to skate simply put your skates on, fold up the shopping bag and put it in the bumbag. Attach the flip flops to the bumbag, by threading the bumbag strap through the flip flops and off you go!
A simple, cheap, lightweight solution that won't interfere with your balance too much.

My trick is 2 elastic headbands and an ergonomic Vaude backpack with many possibilities to attach straps and stuff. Inline skating backpacks may be nice for attaching skates conveniently but skates are heavy and so I prefer a good ergonomic backpack with improvised skate straps. At least until an ergonomic inline backpack will appear on the market ...

Just my method... one caribiner on each rollerblade (that stays.) And a paracord bracelet to clip them both together and to use as a handle when you need to carry them. when your wearing them you wear the bracelet on your wrist. This way your hands are always free. Just how I do things. Great video.

you could also just use the velcro strap and high ankle plastic strap to strap them on each side of any kind of backpack with 2 straps, they just hang on the sides without moving too much, and if you strap them tight enough you don't really need the wheel covers

I use two small car binners to carry my skates. I just attach a single skate in each strap of my regular backpack and they hang at the high of my hips...

I was just browsing through inline skate videos because I have been re-reading Air Gear. Also just a few weeks ago, I came across such a thing as boosted board because of watching Casey Neistat vlogs, which made me wonder if there are people doing the same thing to inline skates already. Damn. Air Trecks are being realized now!

I just put the inline skates in an ikea bag (or any other solid big plastic bag) and then carry a very small empty backpack. When I want to skate, i put my light-weighted shoes in my small backpack, wear my inline-skates, then fold the ikea/big bag and also put it in backpack. The bag pack is the size of an A4 paper.

I personaly prefer the backpack myself, because i dont do agressive, that DC backpack model was pretty neat.

I'm getting that hook thing to carry my skate. For now i use these string bags.

I use the shoulder strap of an old laptop bag. I attach both carabiners to both skates and it is very comfortable this way. Hope this helps. :-)

Thanks a lot, this was really informative. I used to put my skakes in the backpack, but then I can't carry anything else around with me. I also really like your hack with the suitcase, because I already melted the wheels of two suitcases. I would like to see a video on how you made it (it you already made that I will find it, did not yet search for it).

[KriegKadaver]

Thanks for the video, very informative!

Caribiner can clip your skates together, but at the same time, you can interlock your wrist guards & anything like that, and strap them in there as well. Hmmm.... so, what kind of E-skates are those! Dammmm! I’ve never seen those, can it go up hills? Do they have brakes & how fast, how long is charge on what kind of battery? Do they recharge as you skate?

[cristiansosa]

Forbidden to carry skates in public transport? Talk about senseless laws..

[joynez]

I usually just carry a mini belt pack and I use the velcro to get the skates stuck on each hip. Im getting so sweaty when carrying a backpack.

3rd Video of yours I have seen- thank you- you are  very knowledgeable and funny!!

Just tie the laces together and then hold them by the laces.
