summer practice

[marcolo86]

Sadly the time has come: Season's almost over in Italy, and thinking of eight months without skiboards at my feet is driving me mad. I was wondering whether you guys believe aggressive in-line/street skating could keep me in shape and help develop new skills during the spring/summer season. I am seriously considering to buy a pair, just wanted to know how much it might improve or aid my skiboarding.

Thanx, bye!

skating helps shit loads, and if you have a trampoline jump on it constantly

Inline is the way to go my friend!

inline + skiboarding = best sports to go hand in hand ever.
what you learn in one sport carries over directly to the other
and vice-versa over the seaons.
its awesome.

doing both also gives you a sleeker, smoother style combining
both sports.

definately cop a pair of skates and start killing it! its also
much cheaper...streets are free! =)

Thanks for the replies, now i'm definitely going for in-lines!

And bailey: If only I had a garden big enough I'd do that for sure!

I wanted to buy a cheap pair of in-lines withut having to worry about them breaking or getting wasted... what do you think of the following?

hahaha I wouldn't touch such a thing with a 10 foot
pole.


you have the following choices for cheap but good skates:
-Rollerblade ALPHA
-Salomon STPro
-USD Team Throne
-Razor Genesis 3
-K2 Fatty Pro or Pat Lennen pro


those are recent models....
you can also come any skate from those companies (Rollerblade, Salomon, USd, Razor, K2) from past years or sale models.

but don't touch any other skates made by some unknown companies....

Roces can also be an option but personally I do recommend them.

hope this helps you out!
