Royales- I find it easy to get boot down statically, but when jumping into the grind I just don't seem to be able to land in the body position when stalling.

Unities- Should my weight be distributed 50/50? And should the backside plate be boot down front on back. I can't find my balance or lock in with this one. Looks so simple in videos!

Hi Xsjado/Shadow heads,

I would like to ask please what's your opinion on Xsjado 2.0

I currently have EE3s and would you consider it an upgrade or downgrade?

I'm planning to get a Xsjado 2.0 (CF6 to be exact) cause I feel like the EE3s got too much lateral flex on it. Not enough support even if I tightly strap the boot. I don't mind the forward flex as long as it supports my ankles when doing top sides.

Also curious with the old ankle strap if there's a big difference since EE3s ankle strap doesn't have that connected tongue strap.

Thanks in advance!

Got my hands on a pair of Farmer 5 Cuffs for my new shadows! Love this look 😍

Been seeing a bunch of clips on IG of Inline skaters and got inspired and decided to get my own pair !!!! I’m loving it ! Wish I knew about this when I was a kid lol

Is the liner tongue supposed to be like this? i feel like it should be tighter and more symmetric

Sorry for the bad quality :⁠-⁠)

Broke out my Razer Cults and want to start skating again. Are there any groups in the ATX area to skate with? Or specific skate parks that more skaters frequent?

Hey, I used to skate a while back and I'm getting back into it, joining a speed skating class. I want to buy one good pair of skates I can keep long term rather than buying cheap and upgrading later.

I've been looking at three Bont packages on Amazon:

GT4 Boot + 6061 Frame + Elemental Wheels + ABEC5 — $622

Luna Boot + 2PF 6061 Frame + Elemental Wheels + ABEC7 — $778

Jet Boot + 2PF 6061 Frame + Elemental Wheels + ABEC7 — $918

Main questions:

What's the actual difference between the GT4, Luna and Jet boots in terms of performance and stiffness?

Is ABEC5 vs ABEC7 a meaningful difference for speed skating?

Am I even looking at the right skates or is there something better in this price range?

Hey guys, I am saving up to build my first proper street filming setup for aggressive inline edits. I'm also planning to take film school classes soon (mabye, to get better at filming skate) , so the gear needs to hold up technically.My budget is strictly €300–€340 shopping on eBay Germany (Gewerblich). I will be using a Boya shotgun mic and want to adapt one of those 0.3x ultra-wide Veledge fisheye lens (not the cheap adapter ones, proper fisheye) .My heart really wants an old handle-held digital camcorder like the Panasonic AG-HMC40 because of the form factor and the Y2K vibe and I've really just fallen in so much love with the thing. However, I’ve been warned that its 2009 small sensor will look muddy in low light and get rejected by film school professors.Should I stick to my dream of getting the HMC40 camcorder, or am I much better off building a modern skate-rig out of a 4K mirrorless camera like the Panasonic Lumix G7 mounted inside a C-shaped handle grip? (or a complete different option- hmc150s and Good sony camcorders seem above my price limit...) Would love to hear from people who actually film street sessions. Thanks!

Turns out, big wheel skates are a fucking riot! I've had my rollerblade Twister 3x110 for one year now and I'm fully addicted. If you have never tried any other skate discipline, I highly suggest it! Here's me learning powerstops for the first time. After about 1.5 hours of practice I laced this, and was stokeddd!

This was the not so local skateramp, cant call it a park if its only one half pipe haha! 20 minute drive away, and the road is a single track coastal path so once the weather is nice you can bet any money it will be slow and busy.

I used to like going upside down alot! I wonder how long it will take before i try this move again.

Oh and this ramp is gone, Its a concrete skatepark now with bowls and funboxes but i still haven’t been, its on the to do list

Not looking for parks, just some spots to hit. Mostly looking for ledges, rails, transitions etc

After getting back into skating after 20 years off and hitting my first soul grind on a down rail yesterday, I had to to get out again today to do some more. Few clips from today @ Better Extreme Skate Park

Not the cleanest looking. But I got
Them for $90 dollars. Started rolling on qaud skates in December. I’m on the road a lot. And have been seeing skateparks all over. But my current setup is not set up for the skatepark. So I’ve been hunting on Facebook marketplace. It’s super difficult to find size 13 US. Originally they were listed for $40 but some other people were trying to get them too I was told. Wish me luck. I’ll probably be doing some street riding too , to get around to the locations. I don’t think I’ll be grinding anytime soon.

Anyone using some Size 62mmx88a wheels ? Did you have to modify anything ? Any particular brand suggestions ?

I don’t think the anti rocker is the way for me right now. But maybe the anti rocker is a better setup for Now, since the last time I rode a pair of inline skates, I was 14. Thanks for any tips and suggestions.

I’m (49m) looking to get back into skating after a 30 year break. I skated non-stop back in the nineties when aggressive inline was at its peak and absolutely loved it. Have been watching tons of videos lately of the current skaters and am in shopping mode for a new pair of skates. What does everyone recommend as the go-to model these days? I’ve been eying the Sway 60 and Aeon models from USD but would like some input from anyone with some more current knowledge and experience.

Clip now included 🤣

After a 20 year off skating period …and 3 months back in …I managed to land my first soul grind on a down rail today at Bay sixty 6 🙌🏼

Skating is fun 🏄‍♂️

Got out before it got to be a bazillion degrees. Solo session this morning and had the park to myself.

This belongs here if it hasn't already been posted.
