all grind king in KL sold out already that time..
*
N&Z got a lot stock of skateboard stuff,because they take it from Spitfire singapore...but nowadays they selling more imitation product compare to original..probably because they want to compete price with Silver Planet.. rclxms.gif

i think there's no element featherlight on ebay..

for me, my best board i've ever use is DNA..bought at extreme sg wang long time ago..

that time extreme got multiple choice for sk8 brand but nowdays sad.gif
*
Hm,in JB also hard to find Element Featherlight nowadays.Chance to get it only come from N&Z,other shops i don't know... hmm.gif

But 1 thing i can remember until now,the osiris D3 shoes ( not D3 2001 )..really bulky and uncomfortable to skate with it..

I think the shoes even bigger than our body... tongue.gif laugh.gif

OMG  shocking.gif 7inch is damn small..

better make refund or change size..


Added on March 9, 2008, 4:27 am

definitely the most standard one..

hey, how much u bought for that D3? i have osiris too..but not that big..
*
That shoes really bulky,if u wear with baggy jeans its ok but if dress up like Andrew Reynolds and wear that shoes...everyone will laugh at you.. laugh.gif

No,that's not my shoe.I take it from Google... tongue.gif

I remember back to year 1999-2000 this D3 shoe really famous..then in 2001-2002 the D3 2001 came out...much smaller than original D3 but still bulkier.. sweat.gif

For my personal choice i like Globe shoe because the price not damn expensive ( RM200 also can get )... rclxm9.gif

Right now i use eS K7 and Globe CT4....bought on 2006.. biggrin.gif

What model of Osiris shoe that u own right now Ejat?

Just chat with my sister....
It's a 7.5 x 31 ^^

Yups,i think all skateshop carry the smallest size is 7.5x31...my last board Toy Machine 7.8x32..because of my body and foot are big...so not suitable to use 7.5x31.. sweat.gif

Lol..really wierd looking if wearing tight jeans with that shoes.. biggrin.gif

R u sure globe not expensive as others?? i've survey globe for couple of years and find out globe is more expensive than others  hmm.gif mybe globe in JB can get cheap one..i never found globe below rm270 in KL..

I've throw away my osiris..it's osiris emo if i'm not mistake..got many koyak and the major problem is the tapak kasut felt off.. rclxub.gif like mulut buaya already biggrin.gif 

now wearing emerica reynolds for sk8 and etnies arto saari for jalan-jalan and class..


Yups,i'm very sure about that.I bought Globe Avert shoe in January 2001 and it cost me only RM199...and that time no sales..and bought it in Quicksilver boutique Sunway Pyramid.. thumbup.gif

If you find Globe Signature series,of course la expensive sweat.gif ...one that i know the price below RM300 is Globe Rodney Mullen 3 - RM299.. tongue.gif and this one is obsolete model..

So for sk8 i just buy globe..but non signature la.If signature just use for jalan2...damn nice..hehehe.. rclxms.gif

I also have the classic Hook-Ups Red Eyes Shoes...but i don't wear it just keep it as my collection.. smile.gif

of coz la u from m'sia. but we have 14 state in m'sia. which one?  biggrin.gif
u stayed in china?  blink.gif
of coz there's different wearing sk8 shoes than normal sport shoes.

-sk8 shoe have high quality rubber for longer lifespan.
-It has flat foot base@tapak kasut which is need for more grip.
-some skate shoe has a technology that called G2 which has multiple layer of rubber and i don't remember tongue.gif for absorbing pressure..

thanks a little bit from much more advantage of sk8 shoe..
*
Yups,that's right.If u don't want to expense more budget on latest model skate shoes...u can find outdated model..its the same and still lot better than "cap ayam" Vans or eS siam made one...hehehe tongue.gif

If u want to try eS,i suggest Accel or Accelerate...both shoe really good and look oldskool.. brows.gif .If u want to score chick also can....hehehe... drool.gif

Many skate shoes price range from RM150 - RM300 like Ejat said,so the best option u just go try that suits u.. smile.gif

hi everyone. i fall in love with this skater girl. so i wanna learn how to skate. how much a basic equipment etc? guide me to skate well. flex.gif
*
Just buy complete Powell set and there u go...first basic to do is ollie and then proceed to next trick like kickflip,heelflip,pop shove it and others..take time to do all the tricks but if u can ollie well,i'm sure other tricks like kacang goreng la... thumbup.gif

If u prefer to buy separate item,just go skateshop and buy deck,trucks,wheel and bearing.If u have more budget can go for expensive item like Element Featherlight deck,Tensor or GrindKing truck,Spitfire wheels and Shorty's Black Panther Bearing...just example only.. smile.gif

actually, DC also got lots of nice model..sadly, there's no distributor for DC shoe..
I've asked some skateshop retailer why they don't bring DC in? they said DC don't want to mix with other brand in their outlet means if somebody wanna bring in DC, there will be no other product than DC in their outlet..
*
Yups,right now the favourite skate shoes for skater is eS,Emerica,Etnies and Nike SB.All these shoes u can find easily...coz have distributor bring all these shoes...

DC was famous on 1998,and really god damn expensive... sweat.gif

My favourite right now is Nike SB P.Rod signature...maybe get one in Jun or July.. rclxm9.gif

Btw.. what other skating gears should I get in US?
Wheels trucks....
Making my shopping list =.=

Do you like heavy trucks or light trucks?For me Independant is the best for heavy truck and Tensor or Grind King best for light trucks..

Wheels you can choose Spitfire,Darkstar or Ricta.For me,i will choose Ricta.. rclxms.gif

Bearings you can grab Shorty's Black Panther Abec 7 or Speed Demons bearings..or Red Bones bearings also good enough..

Griptape just go for Black Magic or Jessup..
