Operation: New Skates 🛼
🕑 Added 2025-05-10 23:01:56 +0000 UTCHi guys! 💖 As I mentioned in the previous post, I set a personal goal for my birthday (next Saturday) 💪 I want to land a specific jump I’ve been working on for a while 🛼🥺
I’ve been training a lot, going to my classes, taking private lessons, and doing my best to improve… but unfortunately, I discovered that my current skates are slightly too big, and the plate is pulling to the left 😩 That throws off my balance completely, especially on the right edge, which explains why this jump has been so frustrating. I simply can’t fully reach the edge I need 🫠
Since skates are expensive, I decided to start a little support campaign to help me replace them 🥺 On OF, I’m using the Goal feature, but since Patreon doesn’t have that option — and I know many of my patronites don’t really like OF — I decided to use Ko–Fi for this instead 💌 On Ko–Fi, I’m keeping the campaign updated with all donations, so we can actually see how far we are from the goal 🙏
Here's the link for the campaign → https://ko-fi.com/danievedo/goal?g=50
And good news! We’ve already reached 50% of the goal!! 😭 I’m honestly so happy and grateful 🥹 Thank you so much to everyone who’s helped already 😭😘
And btw, if you're curious 👀
💡 Why are skates so expensive?
Because for professional skates, each part is sold separately! It’s a custom setup:
• Boot (reinforced leather, must be very precise in size)
• Plate (mounted separately, influences control and stability)
• Bearings, wheels, toe stops (all chosen based on weight and discipline)
And since I’ll be changing both the size and the plate type, I’ll need to remount everything from scratch 🥺
🤌 And what do you get if you help me with this goal? 💌
Of course there’s a little gift involved! 😌 As a thank-you, I’ll be creating an exclusive pack using my new skates (and a surprise outfit ❤️). This pack will be sent directly and privately to everyone who helps with this goal, with any amount 🙏 And it won’t be posted anywhere, ever. It’s a one-time gift 💜
This is also my way of answering those sweet birthday messages I always get from you asking, “What would you like?” or “Where can I send a gift?” 🥺 I usually leave it completely open, but this year I thought I’d be a little more direct and share something truly special in return.
Please don’t feel obligated to donate 🙇♀️ This is really just an extra spoil 😊
I totally understand if you can’t or don’t feel like doing it 🥰
Anyways,
Thank you for being here, always. I’m so, so grateful 💖

Well, I used Ko-Fi, but I am not registered there :D But that doesnt matter as I mainly wanted to support Dani and her skating eendeavours :)
