    nah the vx wernt aggressive... no soul atall but they were my ffirst inline so did me for frontsides and my first royalle LOL then went to rhino's(prolites)then majestics, then k2 fatty's, then argons, then soloman/king's...

    the soul was in the st8 salomon (the blue boot wiht white frame) and the st10 had the heat moulded soul (gold wiht blue frame) still, everyon i knew put the blue frame on the blue boot (2 diff coilours) and then ye, i gave up for a bit, started doing evening sessions in 2002 atskaterham herwe an there but nothing serious.. miss it madly

    ive broken myself badly on skates (from ceeling hight at playstation to flat bottom face first on the vert, m8's had to carry me home prittymuch LOLOL) landed face first a good few times but fuck it, if you dont commit to the trick you aint ever gonna land it.. comes wiht the risk. my knee's are still FOOOOOOKED from skating as are my ancles (must have broken them 10 times each) but hey.. just tighten up the skate and ride on home LOL

    DEFFO up for a lil session at playstation/anywhere really.. stockwell/brixton bowl is still there and sick as fuck backwards LOL (m8 done his jaw there and gave hmself a new mounth just under his chin LOLOL) need to hit some transition (and show these gayboarders that there ARE better things to do than roll along on a stick bearly landing anything) fact is you look at world class boarding in vids and it still looks fumbely/sketchy.. no flow, not smooth atall.. unpredictable.. low ass poo.

    this is one guy wiht LOADS of vg's (loving vg4 again, fuck me i remember that comming out!!)

    yeah i was going to say,
    because i had a pair of fx, before any aggressive's
    back in the street hockey days :aikido:

    cant remember what my solomons were called,
    they was the white ones, gel soul, and heat mold,
    think there were the Aaron Feinbergs, or whats ever his names was,
    that young guy who was sponsored by them, skated at the x games.

    i didn't get one break in the whole time i skated,
    i was the little one of the group who would try any thing,
    and manage to come out the other end ok apart from some scared, and a few bull bag lading when girding rails :pale:

    PlayStation was gay how they used to make bladders were helmets but the boarders didn't have to :rules: ,

    boarding aint that bad man lol,
    i was miles better at skating but still,
    its hard to progress at boarding,
    skating's way more fluid and fun and easier to get to a level were its worth picking up a pair of skates,

    i wouldn't mind a meet,
    im curious to see what i can still do, i can barely remember anything from them days, struggle to remember all the grid names. this threads bring it all back lol :yahoo:

    did you ever go to that shit they used to do in clapham common too?

    I can, kinda :blush: .. This summer my (now ex, cheating cow) girlfriend and I used to skate along the seafront every weekend together, she taught me the basics and that; got more bumps and scrapes from skating than I did when I came off my bike! I looked so retarded but I guess we've all got to start somewhere! Haha, I really got into it though and bought some M12's! Despite the fact that I still fail hard at STOPPING. :blush:

    Roll on Summer '10 so I can dig 'em out once again :)
    Should make a seperate board 'SkaterShack' ;)

    we'll all meet at crawley soon, its a sick park (been changed)

    minor, i got some size 10 trs morales, but theyre not like remz at all, i might know someone with some though.

    soul, acid, sunnyday and miszou are the normal soul foot and other foot grinds, then makio is just soul foot.

    unity is crossed with the back leg behind the front, savanah is front behind back.

    royale and then farve the other way, torque is a farve with just the front foot and fastslide is royale with just the front foot

    backslide is royale just the backfoot and pudslide is farve with just the back foot.

    then got negative tricks on the inside of soul foot, and topside variations of all tricks on soul plates.

    been on top acid 270 back torque recently, tryin to get it locked down

    i want to skate now o_O

    minor, xsjado skates are actually fucking comfy, and their frames are sick for freestyle switches, but the soulplates are HUGE.

    salomon went bust and deshi has just been liquidized into USD (all owned by the conference, including kizer and some other companies)

    lol minor trs's are mine, yours for nothin mate, dont need em!

    im not really a park skater tbh, think its a bit pointless, but im always up for a skate so when the weather is nice we'll go kill it somewhere?

    as for AO fish, totally discusting trick on anything but park, most spots are unskateable now so AO fish is asking for pain.

    didnt expect so many people to skate tbh

    :cheers:, skatershack,

    i found park slightly boring on blades too to be honest,

    maybe because im used to street,
    and the fact that playstation was bare doging bikes and boards, or waiting a year for some ramp hog to come of the midi :tdwn: :glare:
