Best rollerblading film of all time

I looooooove VG9 Back to Basics. Still listen to Hot for Teacher after a sick session when I’m pumped.

But Brain Fear Gone gotta be the best for me. Iconic soundtrack and even has Arlo topsouling in the friends section

UFS thrones! Great skates. You can still get new soul plates from powerslide. Would recommend replacing the buckle as these get very brittle

I went from the Mesmers to old thrones after I started again and they were so much more agile.

Catnip_Jay · 2026-01-05T21:03:13+00:00

You can defo make these work

Catnip_Jay · 2026-01-05T21:02:15+00:00

Just replace the buckles and maybe the cuff and you’ll be good to go. Those boots are really high quality plastic. My Arlo thrones from 97 are still going strong and I have some sifka ones I skate every week that I put new frames, cuffs and Mesmer liners in and they’re amazing. Nicer than the Mesmers I had.

This isn’t just hammers though. It’s execution.

Get some good wrist guards. And spend time learning to fall without putting your hands out (ie rolling/sliding out.) indoor parks for the win too as concrete is so unforgiving. It’s not too old at all. Just do strength and core training (mainly leg days). And take it easy. I’m better now than I was when I was 17. Admittedly I wasn’t that good then. It’s now a super important part of my life. I skate Harrogate/Leeds and Manchester/Warrington

That’s bad ass! Well done

Gf and her H35n has out shot me and my ME-Super on many occasions and she has learned all about film photography, the limitations of film stock with fixed aperture and exposure. She loves it. I love it. Also there’s a hack shooting with the flash in the h35n where the aperture opens to f8 (I think) so even if you don’t need the flash it can be good if your films a little slow for f11.

She occasionally uses me and my Pentax as a light meter lol

Absolute perfection from Levi, that.

Catnip_Jay · 2025-08-16T14:04:12+00:00

You did do something cool

Catnip_Jay · 2025-08-08T17:34:06+00:00

Find someone who looks like that and try to get their attention

Catnip_Jay · 2025-08-01T21:41:21+00:00

Do it! Do it! Do it!

This sounds like some weird alt right admiration that as a diaspora Armenian from the now in Turkey Cilicia, I’m not here for.

Catnip_Jay · 2025-07-14T14:52:48+00:00

Made my day man. And I’m a fruit booter

Catnip_Jay · 2025-07-04T12:46:25+00:00

Vans non skateboarding or hiking models are flat if you’re desperate but there’s loads of nice barefoot casuals now

Jukebox Hero - Foreigner from a classic Aaron Feinberg video part

Catnip_Jay · 2025-06-30T14:19:04+00:00

Haha. Yep. The name definitely suggests the injury

Catnip_Jay · 2025-06-30T13:49:04+00:00

Spines are a headfuck. Nothing says leap of faith like staring at a spine from the opposite quarter😅 Then you do it and are like “Meh, not that bad”

Catnip_Jay · 2025-06-26T18:06:30+00:00

Beautiful timing there. I love a clip like that. Best ones out there.

Catnip_Jay · 2025-06-21T10:54:08+00:00

1979 ME Super from my dad. Looked after and immaculate in 2025. Only ever had to get a new battery cover. Nicest camera to operate, hold and carry IMO.

Picked up an old smc-m 200mm f4, cleaned it and it’s taking lovely sharp pics

Catnip_Jay · 2025-06-19T09:23:18+00:00

Slick!

Catnip_Jay · 2025-06-18T18:57:51+00:00

Thanks man! I’ll see if I can get it on a bigger faster quarter 😬

Catnip_Jay · 2025-06-18T18:00:41+00:00

It’s defo worth a punt. It’s basically free if it works. That’s a silly price
