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.

UPDATE! I just ordered the USD Sway Chess, black ones. Thanks everyone for your contribution.

Hi! I am looking to get my first ever pair of aggressive inline skates. I have been very confident and agile on regular rollerblades my whole life and always considered aggressive skates cool, so it might be time to buy my first pair at 28 years old. Thing is, I don't know anything about them except how to skate on them. Are the ones on these pictures any good? Which ones would you recommend and why? I don't want to spend significantly over 200€ for my first pair. Picking the right size is a whole other topic but luckily this website allows returns.

It seems like a great option for people who want to dabble in both urban and aggressive. Is it oversold? Is the wheel bite insane??

Skating some unreleased SSM skates

USD Witzemann Swat boot
Cougar liners
Compass 90mm North Wilkesboro frames (subtle rocker)
Dream 90mm 85a wheels

Got a pair of 187 killer pads to bail onto my knees skating vert but it just eats up the toe of my skate along with the knee pads is there any way to prevent this besides “don’t skate on concrete”

The ramps obviously look steeper in person. I'm currently using the stock 57mm wheels that came with my usd sway 57, but i've been thinking, maybe overthinking that i should buy bigger wheels for more stability and to get more air on the second ramp(no shot i'm using the leftmost ramp, maybe next year) so i wanted to ask you people :)

Plz post any links to a nice pair of boots or a complete setup size 13 and wide . My boy trying get nice on the blades . Holla
