wizard skating, software, design, …
Currently I enjoy wizard skating the most: It’s full of technical challenges, but it also has a relatively low risk of injury.
I’d like to do more aggressive street stuff, but neither do I want to buy another pair of skates nor do I want to change frames frequently.
For now I’ll keep improving my wizard skills until I feel confident enough to try more park and street tricks.
These two videos convinced me to give wizard skating a try:
Previously I only skated quads, but I felt more comfortable on blades relatively quickly.
What do you want do try: quad skating or inline skating?
Also, what are you interested in?
- urban skating
- park skating
- jam skating
- …
What kind of surface do you usually skate on? Maybe your streets are more on the rougher side?
Also, the hardness of the wheels might not be optimal for durability.
When you decide to get new wheels you might check out this video first, it also talks about rotating the wheels (which, I suppose, is the same as twisting them?).
Thanks for the info, glad you found a nice setup! Never considered heating the boot itself, seems kinda risky.
It turned out that the Intuition liners do adapt to your feet after skating them for a while. I could even put the valcro butterflies back on for better responsiveness without introducing new hot spots.
How about the 2nd Skin liners? Did they require much breaking in? Or did they fit right away?
