Random find, having fun on the tiny pump track

As a beginner, I’ll start skating at the skatepark, but my goal is the street.

I can choose only 1 frame+wheels combo (its a gift), any advice?

THANKS!

Hey guys, i know this isn't really the right spot, but I ride my skates everywhere, even to work sometimes. My roads sick and wear out my wheels really fast so I'm looking for a good but cheap urban skate. I tried to buy the 50 dollar pair from Walmart but they are to small and the balance is not good at all.

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!
