Sorry Chaunceyskis, I couldn't wait to make the thread.

Post up videos of your favorite pros killing it, pics of some sick spots in your town, or videos of you landing a new trick, ask about tricks, give advice on tricks, discuss/review skates, and discuss the latest news in the world of aggressive skating!

Eventually, we could even use this thread for buying, selling, and trading parts or full skates.



First off, what are your thoughts on the beginning of powerblading? Kizer has just brought the concept into play in the aggressive rollerblading game with their new frames able to hold 4 80mm wheels while still allowing soul and negative plate grinds. Check the fourth and fifth edit for some powerblading shots.

Second, there is a lot of good advice on what type of skates suit you in this thread, as well as where to buy full skates/parts,(https://www.newschoolers.com/ns/forums/readthread/thread_id/615627/), all courtesy of a_pla5tic_bag

And lastly, here are some of my favorite edits at the moment -


First off is a purely powerblading/skitching edit, makes me wish i lived in Barcelona







and this extremely innovative powerblading guy

you can get better stuff on rollerwarehouse.com or aggressivemall.com but those would work.

RB/TRS make decent skates. They are a lot stiffer (that may be a good thing because it will feel more like a ski boot and make the ski to skate transition easier.)
but like pla5tic bag said you can find much better equipment and blades on these websites.

http://www.aggressivemall.com/
http://secure.rollerwarehouse.com/orstore/default.aspx
http://www.erolling.com/
http://www.skatepile.com/orstore/default.aspx


I have ordered from all these sites in the past and have had no trouble. typically aggressivemall is the best customer service, plus everyone who works there is the shit and deserve your business.

unless it's the solo line, i advise against trs skates. solos are fucking awesome but trs is subpar in every way imo
on AMall i found valos, xsjados, razors gens, and i think usds for under 200 and all are sick skates

what should the cult name be?

you could always make the cult public. Cause it'd be a shame if someone wanted to get into skating and couldn't find any information about it.

it's an open, auto accept cult
and for the people who actively use it, it will be easier to find info on what skates to get or what trick names are instead of searching through 10+ pages of this thread

at that range you could go for pretty much anything
for a beginner, razors genesys or remz OS are 2 really solid choices. both are cheap and well made.
for frames, i personally use create originals but they might be a little pricier. ground control featherlights are a really light, fast frame for a decent price
wheels are trickier to pick but some good companies are eulogy, undercover, and scribe

^ for frame setup get an older pair of kizer fluids(way better than GCs imo, and older pairs are relatively cheap)with swiss bearings( if they are to spendy get reds) and UC with the good cores(the eislers are amazing) although euology has their new compound coming out soon...i am interested in those

fluids were awful for me
flat was impossible, anti was still terrible
creates are perfect for anti and even without antis they still lock in perfect and slide great

themgoods are solid bearings. i've had mine for like 2 years, never cleaned, and they're still fast
