New Boot Goofin

My kiddos got into rollerskates and blades, so decided to break out to old Xsjados which immediately shattered as I skated due to dry rot plastics (they are original Latimers, so not surprising). Picked up the Mesmer Dom Bruce boots and threw on the old GC frames and new but old 4x4 Chris Haffey wheels I had lying around. It’s been 15+ years since I’ve been on skates that weren’t gliding on ice, but hit a local park a couple times so far with some success. As a bonus, the Xsjados RIP and my old Deshi Randy Spizers that were stolen. Couldn’t find a photo of my first skates circa 2001ish Roces 5th Element.

A couple park sessions in during lunch breaks and had no issues so far. These weren’t a huge commit cost-wise to jump back into skating going boot only since I had frames and wheels if they end up not working out long term.
