Is it possible to get Adreno skates in Malaysia, or any recommendations for freestyle? (:

Any idea where sells the cheapest Seba FR1 / FR2, and about how much?

Ahh, we should have known each other earlier.

I got mine for SGD$350, which is about RM800+.

BUMP!

Inline skaters all disappeared!

I am here! ;D

Lucky I used the search function.

You want to rocker your wheels? Check this out: http://skating.thierstein.net/Knowledge/In..._Rockering.html


Oh and Seba Team is going down to KL for the weekend, check with skateline!

I want to go too, but so far, and I don't know anyone there =X


Slalom rocks ;D ;D What brand wheels did you get?

Far because I live in Singapore. I'd probably get lost in KL.

How's the demo, did you take photo with sebastien laffargue?

Come to Singapore to get! (:

Get KSJ, SG$998.

KSJ - http://blading.at.webry.info/200811/article_21.html

=D Its okay.

Haha I do Vault already will giddy. =X

Are wheels cheaper in Singapore?

For slalom, you have to get Freestyle skates.

Aggressive inline skates are for grinding (e.g. jump up and slide across the ledge / rail) =D Higher risk of injuries.

Some freestyle skates I know are from Radius, Adreno (Black Series), Roces (SKT...), Micro Seba (FR1, FR2, High, High Deluxe), Rollerblade (Twister).

Generally, the freestyle skates have a hard boot. Those recreational ones (cheaper) are more cloth-like material. Also the frame (the part under the boot that holds the wheels together) for freestyle is metal, usually aluminum. The recreational ones are plastic type.

You can try approaching people who are slalom-ing for recommendations, or ask places like skateline, etc. (: Some will be helpful, some will be not, hahaha.

If you want to do slalom, look for one that has rocker wheel setup, that is the front and back wheels are slightly smaller than the two wheels at the center, this will make it easier to turn.

I started with flat setup initially. Then I switched over to rocker, and realised it was much easier (and somehow a little less stable when skating, keke)


Can't join you all for skating, but good that you all making effort to organise skate-together ;D ;D

Good idea!

There are S$3 wheels in Singapore.

There is Rollerblade ones (IIRC), 72mm / 76mm I think (:

If you do slalom only, then I guess its okay to get more expensive wheels.

But if you slide as well... $$ $$ so have to use cheap wheels.

Hey, I PM-ed you. But just in case the PM goes missing again...


Anyway, I've got two of the Rollerblade wheels already, but I haven't used them yet. What is your email, I can send the photo to you. 72mm, hardness is 78A, it costs S$3, which is about RM7+.

You sure you want me to mail it over? Because the mail may get lost. Maybe its better for you to get yourself if you come to Singapore for a holiday (or know anyone who come down). Registered mail is quite expensive, may not be worth the money...


benbeaninc: actually if you do a variety of slides (using both sides of skates), then no need to change (:


[edit]
Oh, anyone used Spark Wheels before?

(72mm, hardness 78A, SGD$3, ~RM7+)


benbeaninc: I'm in Singapore (; Seba cones are SGD$1.50 each, there should be yellow and orange colour.


rnl9920: I can as many as you want, but you have to see whether its worth it to mail across (as compared to just buying from your local shop), because the safest way is by registered mail... Anyway, I haven't tried the two that I bought for myself, haha.

Maybe one of you can come to Singapore for a holiday and buy everything for everyone.

I'm staying in Singapore.

Actually you can also use cups or tennis balls cut into half. Or use round stickers to paste onto the floor (;

The Seba cones are about 3 inches (7.5cm) in diameter at the base (:

Maybe try finding kids cups smaller size.

Not to offend you, but I thnk you should get a better attitude towards skating. Just like any other sport or even things in life.

No one is a good skater from the start. Sure, some may be more talented and improve faster than others, but at the end of the day, its the effort that counts. Its the effort that makes a difference.

Take a look at this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_0NIDVJWo0U&fmt=18

She is world number 1, and she trained over 12 hours a day. Even when she couldn't walk because of blisters filled with blood under her feet, her father carried her to her training place. Even when she fell and broke her teeth, she continued.

This is life, if you try hard enough, you may one day make it. If you just give excuses and not try at all, then you'll definitely not make it.



I've had my fair share of bad days and injuries, I have friends who ended up in the hospital from skate accidents. But we don't hang up our skates and call it a day. We keep going. That's the spirit you should have, if you want to skate. Else, don't even bother, the skates will just be a waste of your money and time. It'll be like buying a car but not learning how to drive because you think your reflexes are not fast enough.
