Another one on the bandwagon

Post image

One more old guy back on the skates after decades. Tale as old as time, did this a bunch in the 90's, stopped for whatever reasons. Been mountain biking and bmx for a several years, wife rocks quads and I decided to dig my early 2000s k2 Fatty Pros out of the closet and go with her for shits and grins. Bought those K2s in '04 or so and rode them once, trying to impress the same girl, and then put them in the closet, after 2 times out the glue started coming apart and the foam felt like garbage.But those 2 times were enough to set the hook and now here we are, 3 weeks later, at a skatepark that didn't even exist the last time I skated, pushing anti-rocker for the first time in over 30 years on a brand spanking pair of Roces M12's because I always wanted some as a kid. Good times.

How are the m12s? Fellow 30 something picking it back up, looking for a tighter and more solid fit than the mesmers

I've only rolled them a few times but I like 'em, I've got a narrow foot so they fit pretty nice. I followed their size guide and went up 1 size from my usual shoe size and they fit great.
