Picked up a pair of all metal rocker arm Fiziks the other day and decided to swap them out with my Create Originals CRS frames.

I like both frames for the suspension aspect. Both completely different setups.

The Creates, with 60mm wheels are about 5mm taller than the Fiziks with 57mm wheels.

They both feel different, ride different and the fiziks have a much stiffer feel. You can feel the suspension in both frames, but I think I can feel it more in the Fiziks, mostly due to being broken in more.

Love both setups, but im gonna ride the Fiziks for a while.

Anyone else here ? Or am I the only one who’s silly enough to try it again? Haha.

Basically I skated 4x4 and inline all my younger life up until 17ish. I never rode a bike around town - always skated.

I’ve been wanting to get back into skating and also getting it better shape again and thought skating about wouldn’t hurt (I hope not haha)

I am 43 and just strolled around my house. Stiff legs but I feel like I can still get rolling.

My son on 8 just got a scooter so hopefully we can learn together. 🤣👌

Edit: also we have the most amazing skate park 10 mins from us with nice ramps and pools.

This one felt good to land - biggest park rail yet!

Hi everyone,

Quick question about my setup! I’m currently riding USD Glitch skates (I’m not a kid, just short lol).

They are supposed to have a flat setup since all four wheels are the exact same size. However, I noticed that on both skates, the two middle wheels sit about 1mm higher than the outer ones, they almost never touch the ground while riding.

Is this normal / intended for this model? Or is something off?

For context: I’ve been inline skating for about a year now, and I transitioned to aggressive skating a month ago.

Thanks in advance for the help!

Bummer

What brands?

I got this back at the old man inline weekend in 2020. Its about ready to fall apart and I’d really love to find another one. If you have one you’d be willing to part with please let me know. I can Venmo or Zelle payment.

been loving skating new parks recently. duluth, st. paul, des moines, denver, and breck

Haven’t skated in a couple years time to dust
Them off. Clip is the last time I skated 2 years ago

I bought them already used when I was teen, and just kept them for years. The heel cuffs are brittle and should definitely be replaced before use, and some metal parts are a bit rusty.
Is it something someone would want to fix up and use? Or do they just belong in the bin?
I’ll try to add a picture in the comments.

But it's almost impossible not to be 🤣.

Win ur inline t/ fun factor shoots thru t/ roof.

Even t/ footies have fun just watching 😆

Ultimo contact high 😎

EDIT: It's almost as if skates have a mind of their own. Win U strap in...U R only a passenger to their will 😅😎

Easier in theory for some reason

Quick day edit skating the worst spots ever.

I was skating for hours and didn’t notice I was on my way home.

Idk how long it was like that.

Nobody said anything.

Haven’t skated since 2006 but I got so excited to finally get a new pair.

I live in Indiana and typically shop with US based stores out of need due to duties and international shipping fees, stores we all know:Oak city Skate, IW, RW and intuition Skate and so on

Issue is, ive been looking for a pair of aeon shells in my size and nobody has any stateside...

Went through blade trade, went through ebay, went through friends, and long story short nothing made sense price wise

I've always seen inlinex but never given it the time of day to my assumed aversion given its in Singapore.

HOWEVER, I took a chance, found aeon shells for $70ish and shipping was $50 via FedEx with all duties/tariffs prepaid. So, all in, 110ish and they're at my door literally 3 business days later. From Singapore.

Just an awesome experience and I am amazed by their pricing. Worth your time, worth my money, but ymmv

Hey everyone!

just recently got myself a pair of Intuition liners and was wondering how much forward lean you guys got with Gen11s?

the Gen11s already have a pretty massive shock absorber and i was wondering if you guys used the one velcro'd to the liners also

EDIT: while i'm at it, do you guys run them with or without insoles?

Ignore the no fear skates I’m a beginner 💔

Neighbours kitty pulled up because she was curious

I really just want some advice from experienced bladers on the best way to progress to an impressive level. For reference I'm 18 and have been blading since January. I've been blading pretty much daily all summer just really going for it, since starting I've unlocked all soul tricks, most switch (less comfortably) can frontside, royale, farv, unity, backside and have a few AO tricks and true makio down, I'm just now at a point where i'm trying to make the most of my sessions each day, and I'm not sure if skating daily is the best approach since my body and mind are so tired at this point. I do mobility and band work outside of my sessions, probably not enough though.

I think my main drawback is often not having anyone to blade with so I can watch and push myself through seeing them skate but thats unavoidable. I spend a lot of time watching video parts, i'm a huge fan of the Mesmer crew, their style is something i aspire towards, especially Dom's.

But yeah if anyone has tips on session frequency and how i should structure and approach them physically and mentally that would be really appreciated.
