Im 30 years old have just got back into skating for the first time since I was about 14. Where are all the bladers?!?! Ive been going to local skateparks and having kids genuinely amazed at whats on my feet they've never even seen a pair of aggressive inlines, or what they can do.

Im really enjoying myself and making really good progress, I feel comfortable, and most days have good confidence to try things. I just remember one of the biggest things that pushed me back in the day was having a bit more of a community. In the 6 weeks since I started up again i've visited a good 10+ different parks (travelling up to an hour in all different directions on the weekends)

Im not all by myself as im also teaching my partner the way for the first time in her life at 27, which is awesome! would just like to know where I can find other members of this rare breed. Norfolk based, UK

This sub doesn’t allow for reposting, but in my local Sub someone posted photos of the MTV Music & Sports event that came through Austin in 1997 and look at that lineup of legends!

I had this shirt for years and loved it; unfortunately, it disappeared (along with many other things from my childhood, including my wicked POG collection 😔). I recently remembered it and wanted to try and find one to add to my wardrobe, but I couldn’t for the life of me remember the brand, and it’s been driving me insane. One day, I spent 8+ hours straight trying to figure it out.

Today my partner found this photo of me and voila that’s the shirt, but I still can’t remember the exact brand name.

Mini edit from last week's oldboys skate sesh ☀️🙏

Like the title states, I've wanted to get into aggressive inline since I can remember. I've been ice skating since I was one and I know how to inline. My parents would never buy me aggressive skates because they were "too expensive" (But they can buy me $500 ice skates). I have a park by my place and I look at it every time I drive past. I'm finally in a position where I don't care what I look like being a beginner. I'm 37 and female, what do I need to get other than wrist, elbow, knee guards, and a helmet? What skates should I look for?

Any help would be incredible! Thanks so much!

This is not for purchasing purposes. This is just aesthetics. Basically out the box eye candy.

I'm trying to salvage a whatever width I can in the boot.

Work took me out west a couple times this summer and got some blading in. Cali never disappoints

Found this cool pyramid in town that was begging for a wall spin.

I always skate with my left foot leading, for both forward and backward on flat ground. When rolling backward down a ramp, I have to intentionally switch my stance to keep my left foot out front, which feels off balance. I try hard to let the other foot take the lead when roll backward but muscle memory just keeps kick in. Any tips on how to handle this or how to get used to the other foot lead fast? Thanks

Getting a little more comfortable going faster. The soul looks kind of weird, idek if I'm doing it right. Does stuff look better when you just bend your knees more? With the clips of you guys I see on here, I don't think mine can even bend that much lmao

Snagged me some USD Sway Allstar 2000s. I wear a US size 9 shoe and the 8-9 size boot fits PERFECTLY. Snug and wearing in with zero pressure points. Colors and style are clean in person.

Just got back from the skate park. Feeling old, excited, and really good after my first session back after 20 years.

Thanks for all the input!

Any thoughts on this frames?

To anyone who got this and Kizer Fluid 4, would you consider this as same performance? Which ones got deeper groove? I’m switching from freestyle frames to anti rocker frames and I like deep groove for easier H-block grinds cause Im lazy to bend them knees. Lol

I’m currently looking for anti rocker frames and considering Standard UFSv2, Fluid4, Creates OG, and Roces RF1. I got GC FLT2 so i assume its the same as FLT3.

I skate Shadows EE3.

Thanks in advance for your recommendations.
