Yes, used to skate with them a lot, especially Mike. Alex's apartment is close to my friend's, he is a funny guy. I remember before I knew them personally, I would be starstruck whenever we ran into them at a spot, haha. I believe AJ might be premiering his new video soon, I will probably go to that.

Started skating in 1999-2000.

First skate - Oxygens off ebay



Then got some Salomon Feinbergs



Then some Shima's



Then took a long break, and then couple years ago bought a dead stock pair of Shima 1 off ebay



Awesome thread, brings back good memories of watching videos (on VHS) and skating street. Good to see some people are still skating.

SlideWell

i skated from 8th grade till 10th. somehow i convinced my dad to buy me Fatty Pro's over the backyard bobs. i did well, mostly with grinding, never stepped up to rails tho. i started in florida, but when i moved back to WA state, there were too many rocks on the sidewalks etc, and hills to really get around and find places. i did skate a bit with my 4-wheel wanker friend, who ended up getting his car towed that had my skates in his trunk, and i never saw them again. at the same time i too was more interested in cars by that day. Oxygens were tough to skate in, Roces being even harder. i tried on a set my buddy had like 3 years ago, and whatever they were, theyre more cheater than anything. the sole was like a fuckin inch on each side i swear. but whatever, times change.

I have ALWAYS been a flat supporter, and this is my first pair of rockers. I never thought I would go away from flat, but it just seems like %99 of skates are heading that way.

I will tell you this much, it is quite a transition. You wouldn't think it would be that difficult, but it is. The rockers get caught on ramps all the time because the edge of the ramp will hit the frame near where the rockers are, it makes you change your technique.

I don't think that rockers really change your technique involving knee bends and stuff, it feels the same when trying to grind and stuff. It lacks in speed big time, and turning is wierd when coming from flats.

Whatever though, I am getting use to it, I guess.

I actually transitioned to rockers with my USDs. I did prefer the flats until recently but my style didnt change too much.

That's pretty bomb, those dudes have been killing it forever.

Skating flat causes you to bend your knees more because you can wheel bite a lot easier on ledges and fatter rails. Skating anti is cool cause it's no worries but I can't even turn when skating anti because the lack of a pivot spot, but I'm just a flat nazi haha.

My first pair were roces. I wanna get a new pair, i haven't bladed for a year! -___-

Makes me reminisce quite a bit, I spent most of my childhood/teenage years rollerblading, started with roces, then razors which is where I came up with my login from and recently picked up a pair of the new remz os2's but just haven't skated in forever so its hard to get back into for me, I dunno I feel old now lol. I used to live around the corner from Real Ride skate park so I was there all the time I remember seeing Fabiola Da Silva there once so I remember the starstruck feeling hah. Now I moved recently but its only 30 minutes away still. But damn the sport has come a long way since I started I can't help but think about getting back into it just don't want to fuck myself up.

That's awesome. I am glad this thread inspired! Let us know how the session goes.

Def post pictures. Don't worry about the breaking bones thing, just don't go in over your head. Progress at your pace. I think it is important to always progress slowly and at your pace, but so many people do things they are not ready for yet. Just go roll, it will come to you with time.

It has come along way, for sure. If you have Remz, I definitely think you should go have some fun in them.

Gotta see if some of my old friends would wanna get back into it, helps with motivation hah, I know what you mean though about the Remz, just hitting up some ledges a few months back got me pretty excited and these damn skates are light as hell

Yeah, I understand the motivation thing. It is just fun when you have people challenging you, and teaching you knew things/teaching them new things.

I bet they are light. My new skates are light too.

Tantwoforty

ha.
i used to skate when i was younger.
mostly street, gaps and rails and such.
i was at a local skatepark working on backflip 540's
and i ended up snapping my right forearm into lotsa litle pieces.
now i have 2 plates and 14 bolts.
so then i took up skateboarding like all my friends.
lol.

oh, and as for skates, i always had soloman's
vinney mintons i think were the last ones i had?
i still have em somewhere

Flipzide

I used to skate as well, but I sucked in general. I enjoyed doing cess slides down steep banks more than anything, haha.

I still have my skates, but they are too small for me now. I used Salomon Feinbergs with white ground control frames. The advent of UFS was the bees knees.

I always liked the salomons for their liners they were comfy as fuck, that was a big problem was I'd always wear liners out quick as shit, I had one pair of k2's and never went back because their liners were crap; However the jug liners I have in the remz are pretty cool though I'm probably going to go out today and try some random shit.

Wow, let me demonstrate how old I am. I don't remember the exact name, but I started off with these California Pros or blades? or something? The wheels weren't even rubber, but a hard plastic. So, when I t-stopped, it would turn my wheels into uneven razor blades.

My second pair, was the lightnings. 3rd pair, I stepped up to the lightning TRS's, which I really, really enjoyed. Back then, we didn't have all of these fancy brands, making aggressive skates. My friend actually made his own grind plates!! They didn't work too well though, because they were metal, and way too thin. Even though, our equipment was no where as advanced as what guys have now, we were tearing it up! 10-15 stair 360's? Hell yeah!!

A couple of years down the line, I decided that I wanted to get back into skating. Bought a pair of Chocolates, but was unable to find anyone in Hawaii to skate with. So, I never rode them, and ended up selling them. Rollerblading, brings back some of the best memories, that I will ever have in my life.

Sometimes I think about getting back, but my body is nowhere in the shape that it used to be, and the scene is so small here. So, if you guys got buddies to skate with, take advantage of it!!

driftsilvias13

LIGHTNINGS! I REMEMBER THOSE!

I wanted Roces Majestic 12s as my first skates

Dont make assumptions, it only makes you look stupid, how do you know I didnt live up north before.
You mad because I didnt like BRINK? lol

raz0rbladez909

Using the phrase "Hella ghey" makes you look stupid and ignorant yourself, "It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open one’s mouth and remove all doubt." Just because something isn't your taste you go and bash it? Nice way to up your post count with dumbass one liners, you'll get far on zilvia. Its funny how me making assumptions about you, and you responding back only helps that opinion. And who in their right mind actually liked brink? Lords of Dog Town was so much better

Go ahead continue the childhood rollerblading vs skateboarding retardation.

and yet... you keep talking. Who ever said I hated rollerblading? Relax pal.
carry on.

raz0rbladez909

Ok so when you said hella ghey what were you referring to? Your liking for rollerblading? Or to stir up shit? I am relaxed, but when you post worthless shit expect to get called out on it.
