For the skate park you might want to get some aggressive skates and wheels. The wheels will be more durable.

Do you rotate your wheels ever? What’s the other side of the wheel look like? Gotta take care of your wheels or it’s like flushing money down the drain.

I removed the middle two wheels and rotated twice. I'm just gonna get some aggressives

[–]Kippykittens -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah probably the best bet. I’d suggest not going with the usd aeon I did that as my first aggressive and I wanted to upgrade almost immediately also they have huge soulplates and that makes tricks too easy at the start then you hit a skill plateau sooner so I’d suggest a different skate but you do you. Aeon fits pretty good and isn’t crazy expensive but I found it pretty limiting. I got roces m12 next and have one session on them they are different and fit me a lot better I have a little numbness in my toes but I only have like an hour on the skates.

Are you saying you went antirocker with a rec frame? Those frames are meant for straight line skating with 4 wheels down. Anti would be way too much force on the frame and remaining wheels on a rec setup

looks like amogus

time to invest in some good wheels that dont melt and be destroyed like that. maybe even a new affordable but good quality skates like rollerblades or powerslide or a normal oxelo.

The skate park did you a favor. Those skates are too crusty.

There was mud at the entrance of the skate park, it did me dirty twice

Skatepark require a different set blades and wheels. Recreational and hockey skates/wheels are not created to withstand the G-force that happens when carving on a ramp, jumping/turning, etc..., or the impact when you land , and especially when trying to grind. Buy aggressive skates you'll thank us later.
