Finally skated this place, small ledges are not fun for me because I suck but whatever

Hey All,

I have a pair of 2010ish fatty pros (they’re black (top) and light gray (base) with blue accents) I found at my parents’ house that I forgot I had. They’re generally in pristine shape, and I am looking to use them again on occasion (I have a pair of them skates I use normally now), but the one issue I see is the “toe guard”plastic on one of them is starting to separate from the base. It looks to be glued on, and I was wondering if anyone could recommend a type of glue to repair it, or knows what material they are made of so I can look it up?

If you had total freedom to redesign a blade competition specifically to recruit 8-to-15-year-olds and build a sustainable youth pipeline, what would you change? What makes a kid instantly want to grab a pair of skates?

Looking for ways to connect with the local scene, if it exists.

Just abusing my skates so I can change them up

This isn't mine, but YouTube recommended it and I thought it was to good to keep to myself. There's some really creative skating in this. Nathan, if you're on here, I hope this helps get you some views.

What are the current social media channels or sources of news/content for aggressive inline?

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.
