Question, I found a gen1 shell that has no spare cuff bolts/receivers. I do have a spare gen 2 cuff and receiver, does anyone know if the gen 2 receiver and cuff bolt are compatible or modifiable to be housed in a gen 1 square rather than the gen 2 circle+dot?

Going to Ventura to visit family with a friend. Looking to hit parks on the way back to central Oregon. Drop your favorite spots and parks that we should check out. Also any shops that have inline gear. Thank you all.

Its warm.

Any shops in San Diego have aggressive online skates ? And which skateparks do you recommend ? Visiting and here been looking around. Please let me know! Thanks!

Is there another Cuff I can replace the stock sway one with that has more left/right flex?

I live in the Twin Cities, Minnesota and ice hockey culture is big here. Coming from that background, I've always inline skated on hockey style inline skates (Bauer x50r) with hi-lo 80 and 76 size wheels 85a hardness.

There are some smooth bike paths around me as well as some decent streets, but a lot of surfaces are rough like as shown in the photos.

I've gotten used to uncomfortable skating experiences on these rough roads, but I just recently realized there's better skate options out there for these rough surfaces.

In my limited research I've found that a 3x110 mm wheel setup on urban skates would help with the road chatter felt on bumpy streets, but I'm looking for recommendations on skates suitable for urban skating given my hockey background.

And how we feel bout the setup as a whole im thinking of doing a "magic rocker" type wheel setup with 56 inner wheels for my birthday for fun

Ever since I got my pair of xsjado's a few weeks ago the shock absorbers started to crumble like cake. Does anyone know where to get them in the states because I was going to buy the shock absorbers on powerslide but shipping is 80😭😭😭. If anyone is down to sell theirs or knows a place to get them please lmk. Thanks.

Got a short lil edit of our cali trip dropping on our youtube soon.

Of course I did the most stupid failure and got the wrong model for my feet. 🤦🏻

So I got this M12 Lo, and quickly realized it's too narrow for my feet.

So now I'm looking for a trade, and I'm only looking for another Boot/Shell!

Best would be a Roces 5th element Boot/Shell new or barely used, or any other model and brand that fits wider feets in the size 41EU.

Would be best if you're located somewhere in the EU so the shipping costs don't get too crazy.

If anyone is interested just DM me.

And with that said have a great week everyone. ✌🏻

I started skating again with my kids but my wheels are absolutely trashed, so I need new one, but I really don't know which max wheel size I could fit in my old 50/50 frames. I think it's the balance one. Is there a sure way to measure it since the only store that sells aggressive wheels is super far from my place. I'll have to order online. I had old senate wheels on this, so I'm guessing 60 or 58 mm, but it's been soooo long.

As you all know, I love my oxygen Skates. I will skate these things till they fall apart. I can't believe that I've accumulated so many videos on these skates.

I figured I should buy a new pair instead of risking skating a 15-20 year old pair of skates. Went for the TNECs. I’m generally 10.5 wide or have to size up to 11 or 11.5 in shoes. Got a 10-11 boot and fits about perfect. I was kind of worried but they seem to have a wider toe box than a classic m12. I was able to get them boot only. Threw some cheap ground control 57mm wheels on them. I’ve never cared about weight on my skates because 11-12s always tended to be heavy regardless, but first thing I did notice is how crazy light they are.

I had to keep both sessions to like 20 minutes cause the smoke is so bad here in Thunder Bay. Having a lot of fun so far though. I'm itching for things to clear up so I can get out to the park everyday.

just putting this here so people know it's still something you can visit.

question though- I'm on the classic oysi frames and I'd really like to be closer to the ground on a flat set (with a similar h block size). Any recs

Cheers

If I had a dollar for every time someone over 35 told me this I could afford a new pair of boots
(Edit: I’m happy everyone is proud of their skates, it’s all love and your skates were very cool)

Hiya! I got a pair of skates as a gift recently and I got back into Aggressive Inline on them. I haven't skated since I was a kid, and I've always had the lowest budget skates possible because high-end stuff wasn't an option. The skates I got were Anarchy Revolution IIs, and they are very low budget, but man - they've still been a lot of fun to skate!

I've been saving up some money and I'd like to invest in a proper pair of skates, something more premium and to my specific likings. I firstly want some bigger wheels, as I'm afraid I don't have much option other than skating street - and my streets are fairly rough tarmac across the place. My current setup is 57mm flat, and you can feel it. Barely keeps much momentum up on rougher terrain, and you vibrate down the streets on 'em.

I didn't wanna go all out and pick up like, 80mm aggro skates because I still want something fairly kind to the H-Block, so Oysi frames looked very appealing to me for the bigger wheel setups while maintaining a pretty good frame and a flat setup for the rougher roads. So, that's what I want frame-wise.

The skate though? That's where I'm struggling the most. I was looking up the Standard Omni - as I've heard good things about them. I was thinking of either picking up the V3 shell and putting my current liner in there, or picking up the V2 boot with the liner already in it. But man, I keep hearing great things about other skates. I've heard the Mesmer stuff is great, I've heard the Them skates are great fits (albeit far more expensive), the Roces, and I've always thought the new FR UFR skates looked sick too.

I'm not well-off. I've been saving for a while. I want to make sure I get something worth the money because DAMN skates are expensive. Has anybody had some good experience with these skates? Anything notable as to what they do well? Is the frame idea even a good one or will 60mm flats work fine on rougher terrain - it's still an improvement from my 57mms. I suppose ultimately I want a setup that can handle tougher terrain, preferably feels comfortable yet sturdy (my current skates seem to like to loosen when I skate them over time), and maybe something that looks quite nice too. Any help? Thank you! :)
