Skate Life

New to the Aggressive scene, but always looking for great advice!

Whats up? I typically go by my last name, Boss, for simplicity sake I assure you. I've always been on a pair of skates, inline, ice, you name it. Now i wanna expand my experience to join the high flying technical world of aggressive blading. Any tips or friendly advice from vets and scrubs alike? Or just wanna say hey? I'll take that to!

Make sure that you're having fun doing whatever brings a smile to your face. The progression will soon follow the dedication.

Persistance is key! keep trying and keep falling till you feel comfortable. I find that most rollerbladers worry about falling when its part of the sport.

Little quote I live by. Not an aggressive skater but def. an action sports mogul:

"Now your going to take beatings, its written in our DNA, you know. Your going to go down...you get up, its that simple."

Great pics! I'm gonna start rollerblading in a few weeks once my skates get in. I'm so excited about it. Being a beginner (sort of lol) do you, yourself have any tips you'd like to share? Cheers bro.

Sorry for they lateness.

But I wouldn't consider a flat setup.

maybe an anti-rocker setup if your use to four wheels.

I use freestyle setup just for a bigger space to grind.

Honestly? Just what everyone here said to me, just slap them on and go for it. Take it slow, build the momentum and BOOM! next thing you know your sliding down a rail! BEND THY KNEES!
