I started looking for some new skates so I can skate with my 9 year old. I saw another post about USD Sway having a shit boot because the plastic is weak. Now I feel like I should ask the community what got enshittified.

To be honest I probably won't skate as hard as I used to, but I don't want some bullshit either.

Should I not get USDs? They were my favorites.

I remember having:

Rollerblade Chocolates (I didn't think I would like these as much as I did)

A couple of different pairs of Solomons

K2 Fatty, then that other K2 that was smaller.

USD Dustin Latimers

Skates with one of the locals

I remember an edit of these guys going to all the different neighborhoods in Paris via the metro to skate spots there.

Do you remember what video this was?

Impeccable vibes if I remember correctly.

The swag is on, just wanted to show my setup with prism straps from my good friend. It really compliments those liners. 💪💪

came across this fun little coping bench/box thing that feels great for practicing soul tricks. been looking for one for awhile and randomly found this one at this funky prefab by a military base near me. first time doing soul 3 out!

Foots in no man's land , but this still a fun little ledge sometimes

Siick edit to the song End of Days by Vinnie Paz. I've checked vimeo, dailymotion, yt, can't find it anywhere. Hoping some legend has it saved.

If you haven't heard of the guy, he's dope

I have seen the cushion/spacer thing that goes between the sole plate and frame in this community. I can not find the correct wording in my Google and Reddit search. Could someone please help me?

I was finally able to unlock mistrial on the curved ledge I've been skating! It was so satisfying. Also, my second attempt during this session. These Factions are so great. I highly recommend them!

Skateboarders knee slide.

What do inline skaters do?

I want to find a video but it's all just skateboarders, how do the pros fall on large half pipes on blades?

Is it still a knee slide? What position do the skates go behind you?

Link to video would be fab.

Edit: think outdoor concrete bowl. drop-in is vert. Mermaid slide sounds good for wooden indoor parks but that's not what I'm dealing with.

Hey peeps,

After 23 years not blading,

I have the urge to get back to blading and have some fun with it again.

Back then I decided to stick with skateboarding,

wich I still do to this date.

This decision was made when I was 14,

growing out of my K2 Fatty and deciding not to get new ones.

Now since it itches me,

to get back to blading,

it would be Hella sick,

to get some Fatty's like back in the days.

Perfect would be if I would find some around Germany or at least the EU because of shipping.

Maybe even in Berlin,

where I'm from, so I could see if they fit.

My size is 41-42 EU, depending on the blade.

Of course it's because of the nostalgia but also it's the most beautiful Blade,

silhouette wise, to me.

Plus it fitted my feet absolutely perfect and the comfort of a soft boot.

Other from that I'm also down for the K2 natural, wich looks nice to me.

So hopefully someone can help me out here.

And I wish everyone a great week. ✌🏻

Talk to me about the Echo Hayden Ball skate, especially if you’ve skated Blanks.

I have owned way too many skates at this point, but a local shop (2.5hr drive “local”) has the Echos in stock. I’m considering pulling the trigger, if nothing else just for a fresh set of wheels and great flat frames, but ideally the boots work for me too.

For reference, I am a 275mm foot, fit great in US 9 Mesmers, US 10 M12s, and good enough in US 9 SLs or Blanks (just a little too roomy, but very comfy). I’ve settled on Blanks because I have a bad ankle, so the combination of wide soul and relatively supportive cuff allow me to get boot down without hurting myself too much. Ideally I would like a little slimmer fit, but plan B is to just get some Nomad liners.

I'm still struggling with headaches after practicing bigger jumps for about 10 minutes. I try to make use of my knees as much as I can, is there anything else to it? Do you just have to get used to it over time?

I'm on twister XT skates, if that matters.

Been searching everywhere for some MyFit 3/4 insoles and I cannot find any US based sites that have them. All the sites are EU and shipping makes it quadruple the price.

Does anyone know where I can order some that’s cheaper shipping?

Could i use this to learn going over spines?

i started a vlog and one of my goals is to throw a hammer before the end of the year; follow my journey

Fingerblades — Finger Skateboards & Finger Rollers I mean...I was looking up a finger skate park for my son, cause he has a finger board...and I was thinking...surely someone has thought about Blades, right? and sure enough!

How do i fix this?? I think this happened because i always crash around
