skates

Downhill is niche segment in the inline skate industry, making it often hard to find good equipment, so it's with great pleasure that we've welcomed the new Seba 995 aka Downhill frames. Here's a slightly customised Seba FR1 skate with these frames.

The Rollerblade Twister Plus is still by far my favourite skate, especially when it comes to customization. Yes, I already wrote that in my last entry... it's just not likely to change any time soon. Here's a couple of simple variations on the same base.

The Rollerblade Twister Plus is still by far my favourite skate, especially when it comes to customization. Here is a simple variation I've made, where the accent is on both aesthetics and details.

I'm proud to introduce http://www.wikinline.net/ : Worldwide Information and Knowledge of Inline skates. A collaborative reference of inline skates focused on technical details.

Something I had in mind for a very long time.

It breaks my heart to see great old skates being thrown away. This is what was about to happen to these Roces LAX (Los Angeles) skates when their owner decided to buy new ones in September 2009. Because of their above-average potential, and also because they were my size, I just couldn't let that happen and decided to give them a second chance.

We've waited years (literally) for this skate to come out. Here are my impressions.

Here are my Seba (Universkate) FR1 skates from the very first batch (end of 2006, I think) with their current customisations. Only the outer shell and a few screws are still from the original skates!

The new Rollerblade Twister for this 2008 season will be improved at last. No real major changes, in fact the entire outer shell is identical, and the overall skate looks very much the same, but some details have been changed.
