I skate 2 - 3 times a week now and have been for the last 5 months or so. But before then i didn't skate for over 5 years. I love it and the only thing i dont like now is im fat and hard to swing myself around like i use to.

I am a reff for the local roller derby team and they all give me shit for wearing my K2 Fatty's and not quads.

what i ride now K2 Fatty Pro's





what im going to




What i have on order for reffing and going to start roller hockey again.

Mission Axiom T.8's

We probably started skating at the same time. I had a set of Lightnings for years until they were basically falling apart(started to split from grinding with no grind plates). Then I got Roces Majestics when they first came out. No idea what year that was, but it was a while ago('94-95 maybe?).

The Majestics lasted me until I decided to give it up. I got back into BMW/Freestyling after a few years which is what I grew up doing in the mid-late 80's.

Then I got a car and never really picked up the biking or skating after that.


My knees/back are pretty jacked up from doing big 12-15 stair jumps, falling off big rails, and the occasional vert wipe out. I never broke anything skating, but did break my thumb while cruising around biking not even doing anything crazy. I never really got into skateboarding because most of the kids that boarded around me were pussies and never did anything more than ollie/kickflip over a coke can or other lame crap like that.


Brings back some memories. Glad I did it back then, but the new skates that are out look pretty crazy to the junk we were using back 15-20 years ago. I do wish I had someone to tell me not to jump big stairs, as I'm sure my knees would thank me.

see the thing is, i used to have a friend to ride with, but now i dont. so i may be hard to face reality alone...
haha

also, 800th post

Matej

This is nice.





My frame setup came in today.

widebodyseven

Just ordered this.



Last time i was into the hobby was like 7 years ago.

I also did soaps when I was real young at school when I couldn't be skating, haha.

Mike just dropped his sponsorships, no longer a pro skater. He said he has a full time job now that he would rather focus on and no longer needs skating. He also felt that it was too hectic being a pro at times. He apparently just ordered Valo's too. It is going to be really wierd to see Mike is anything other than Razors.

Setup looks real nice. Good stuff.

I almost got the Varsity, because it came flat 4. I was just too sold on the Razors though, couldn't sway me.

Skates have so much cushion and heel pads now, you hardly feel a thing on big drops. I know how some of my old skates, they didn't have much, and you could definitely feel it.

Any of your guys follow these competitions i.e. WinterClash or Bitter Cold?

Good for him! Glad to see that he still would like to roll as a hobby. I use to jock his steeze for ever! HAHA down to the sweatpants!

Oh and I went to a bitter cold showdown but that was FOREVER ago.

DRIFTER-M

Yes, I do follow them.

BCSD is a huge event, but many people say this years was... dissapointing to say the least. Especially in the pro event.

And last years BCSD, Soichiro got COMPLETELY screwed in his placing. He only got 5th place, and that was wrong. He was amazing.

I also think Aragon should have won first again since 2007, when he last won it. Unlike most skaters he actually goes above and beyond EVERY single run. He has been top 4 for 3 years strait. He should have won it again, in my opinion. He hammers, hammers, hammers.

So, heres another question.

What wheel company do you guys think is the best?

I have Eulogy, which most people seem to think is tops, but denial looks good, I have friends who rock 4x4, obviously Senate has been around next to forever, and the new M1 lineup is hella intriguing, I have heard good things about Scribe and Steet Artist, Undercover wheels seem to be getting good reviews. So, who has expertise with one brand over the other here? Just thought this would be nice for conversation...

So, thoughts from experience?

Haven't skated for 5 years. I could never hit the handicaps so i said fuck it. Still have my Remz0601s and Chris Haffeys LE ( The super rare all white ones.) If anybody in NY wants to skate, I'm willing to try it out again

Matej

Charging is pretty neat.

chuki roller

I thought I was the only uncool rollerblader here on zilvia! hahha great to see that some old schoolers still skate and evolved into S chassis owners. Roces, Rollerblade, Video Grove, Senate, Eulogy, Jon Julio, Arlo Eisenberg and everything in between has been mentioned but are you guys forgetting....


Saw this back in 95 and was hooked. Still skate from time to time but Im too old and scared to get hurt now to go big

Hey, cool charity I found out about today...

Donate and Skate

Basically, if you have any old skates/parts/stickers/anything skate related - you can donate it to them and they will help less fortunate people aquire some aggressive skates.

Thought it was cool, figured I would throw it up here.

kevinphan

The Charging premiere after BitterCold this year was insane. It was 500 bladders in a movie theatre watching Farmer do impossible tricks and getting juiced.

Julien Cudot deserved to win. He did some ridiculous tricks and went big. I don't even like spin to win but that guy went hard while everyone else skated things here and there he would lay down hammer after hammer in lines.

wangan_cruiser

i didnt realize they were plenty of bladers here. reading some stuff here makes me want to ride on them again.

but scared to break bones haha

angeldunk707

I still got my USD Rachard Johnson's (first colorway: grey, red, white, black) i miss skating.

Cudot may have totally droppped hammers aplenty, but so did Aragon.

My pick isn't that Cudot didn't deserve it either, he very well may have, it just seems to me that BCSD is always super hesitant to give the award to the same skater 2 times. It has happened, it just seems rare to me.

That being said, I don't think alot of the controversy was in the top few spots, it was after that. Between 3-10, I know many people were not satisfied.

Charging was sick. Kinda funny watching farmer smash skates in silly costumes.
Ugh I haven't skated in almost 5 weeks. Working 7am-7pm 6 days a week has me depleted. Thank god this job is over next week then it's summer vacation. Hopefully soon enough that I can go to panhandle pow wow!

I have some skates for sale if anyone is interested. Cheap!

Painted Valo EB.1s, size 10, Vicious Liners, Razors frames/wheels.

They are a little nasty looking but still very skateable.

God this stuff is so bad.

As guys that have been booting for a long time, so you feel that its like the skating "light"?
like diet skateboarding?

It doesnt look like rollerblading has evolved for YEARS.
Like I think most people knew it wouldnt, cause there is only so many tricks you can do, and your knees will only let you go so big.
So did booting max out in the late 90's right before it disapeared?


Has anyone done the next logical step and mixed freestyle walking and rollerblading?
cause blading alone is, well, gay.
The tricks look stupid.
But when someone can ride smoothly down the street, it looks pretty cool.
So if you had some parkour moves over benches, mixed in with figure skating flow moves through peoiple like "mohawks" and such, it would prolly look really fucking cool and fun.
