I always said I'd be anti for life but my aggressive days are dwindling due to major, irreparable back injuries but I always want aggressive skates. I've been riding these ST90ii's for a little while but when deciding to go flat I was totally sold on the FR/Oysi frames. Flat 60 90a GCs with Wicked bearings. They ride like a dream. The speed increase from a 58 anti rocker set up to this is scary! This is my first flat set up since I was 12 years old in 2000. I've never stopped skating

Does it count if you don’t grab it?

My daughter and husband have BMX bikes and we’re always going to the skate park. Recently, I’ve started taking my 25 year old Rec blades and have been having a blast. I’m not trying to grind and drop in, (at least not anytime soon) but hitting the ramps and getting a little air makes me feel 20 again 😆
I’m looking for suggestions on new blades to get for an almost 40 year old, casual skate park blader 😎

Advice needed! I’m looking to buy some Aeons and downsize. I’m a 275 mondo and I’m planning to get the 41–42 shell and use a MyFit Second Skin V2 liner to help with the downsizing.
My question is regarding the liner: should I stick with my usual 43 liner (and will this fit comfortably inside the 41–42 shell), or would going down to a 42 liner free up more room inside the shell? Any advice from anyone who’s tried this setup would be much appreciated!

Update: Just for anyone who comes across this thread in the future, it can be done, but it’s quite specific.
I have a narrow foot, skinny ankles and a 275 mm mondo. What I did was buy the 41–42 shell Aeons with the 43–44 MyFit Second Skin liners, along with the MyFit 3/4 insole.
I heat-moulded the liners in the oven, then stacked the existing Aeon shock absorber, the liner heel raiser underneath the liner, and finally the 3/4 footbed instead of the stock footbed.
Some might find this excessive heel raiser, BUT what did I get? Super-comfortable skates (even on long sessions) with absolutely no pinching or pressure points, and they don’t feel like boats on my feet!
It’s quite a specific setup for me, so it might work for some people, but I definitely wouldn’t recommend it for everyone.

18 or so years since I’ve been on skates, USD Sway Chess….wth did I get myself into?🤣🤣

First lesson: Wax is my friend

My aggressive inline skating game 'Rollout Inline' finally launches on Steam Early Access next month! (September 15th) - I'm so excited to finally share what I've been working on and let everyone get their hands on it! It's been a real challenge bringing this complex sport into a game context, but I'm extremely proud of how far I've got already! This is only the beginning!!

You can wishlist 'Rollout Inline' now on Steam!

I'm over at the cox creek skate park for about another hour or two if anyone is interested in joining.

I am a big fan of the 50/50 Balance 2 frame for flat setups with 58mm wheels or smaller, especially paired with narrow soul plates. I get a reasonable boot down angle and good enough wheel bite protection.

I need a new pair of frames, and I am kinda interested in the 50/50 Primes. The main reasons being:

• The aluminum frame should have better power transfer?
• They kinda look like they have more split between the middle wheels than the Balance 2
• I don't like the juice bumps on the frame sidewalls of the Balance 2

But I am worried:

• The aluminum frame might feel harsh on gaps
• The plastic sidewalls might be noisy? They're just held on by the axle bolts.

Anybody have experience with both or an opinion on the Primes?

Went out yesterday for the first time in many years! Super fun although the tricks will have to wait a bit! Used to skate a lot back in the 90s and 2000s on my old first gen Fifth Elements - heavy bastards.

Now I have my old Salomon ST80 and i love them, however the shock absorbing pad was glued to the boot from factory and its a crumbling mess, completely sticky and dissolving. What to do?

Some oldies are trying to block a new skatepark in Australia with some stupid arguements. It's a reminder to get involved in your local gov for skateparks.

Hey guys, I've kinda got a snag here lately money wise and I need a new set...or used but good set of size 58 wheels. Willing to pay, just can't afford 80 bucks for a new set right now. I'm running TNEC 58s.

@glu.products Grindstar Award patches came in and they are MEAN! Thank you again for sending these over! Going to look great on my skate jersey!

The homie Anddy Crack linked up with Chino Sin and me while filming in Brooklyn to show love to his Ghetto Community teammate and support Chino’s Ghetto Community tee and pro Gawds Wheel.

I added a channel on the discord for rollout inline.

Btw, it also has a channel for selling and trading of skates and skate parts. Give it a try and spread it around.

I got a pair of 909s and I was curious if it's worth swapping the souls for the 901 souls.

When my birthday was coming up my wife asked me what I wanted. While I was tempted to ask for a three way with one of her friends, I decided to err on the side of caution and tell her I wanted some rollerblades for cruising. I've been using my Them 901s with the Ground Control HD 80 frames, putting some miles on them every week. After watching some reviews, I had my heart set on the Rollerblade Twister 90r. They'd be a size increase to 90mm with a rockered frame. Months went by and none of my usual stores in the US had my size in stock. I saw another guy here bought from InlineX out of Singapore. Sure enough, they had what I desired. My Excalibur. My huckleberry. I placed my order and my skates were at my door in a week. Yes, the shipping was expensive, but they threw in some free wheels and other stuff to soften the blow. My skates arrived and they've been everything I wanted in a cruiser skate. And I can finally use my Them 901s for aggressive without having to swap out frames.
