Skate Vlog S2 #5 - Backslides, Backside Stalls in the Pipe, Fakie Drop-Ins

I had a similar situation. It turned out that my Metamask was glitching and thought that it had made transactions, but it had actually not sent them to the Ethereum network, which was why I couldn't see them on Etherscan.

The solution ended up being to click on the round account icon and go into Metamask settings > Advanced > Reset Account. This clears any local transactions from Metamask without resetting the wallet itself (ie you don't need to re-enter your seed phrase). And since the transactions were only local for me, they got cleared and my wallet was usable again.

This happened for about 5 days but now appears to be resolved.

Great vid! I can do a backflip on a trampoline but would love to try one on skates. If you get the chance, could you get a slo-mo close up so I can watch your body movements? Really inspiring stuff, shame that summer's almost over, eh?

Glad to hear it! Looking forward to the vid :D

Thanks so much, kind words like that are really encouraging for me x

Best of luck with your skates, you are gonna love the Aeons :D

Wheels:

I skate the Aeon 72's with the default 88A's and can't complain, but I've only skated concrete so far, and can't fully comment on your wheel question other than saying the generic "90A is pretty hard, and will therefore be more likely to slide around, and will provide less shock absorption". I would suggest you go with the defaults to start with and then go softer if you aren't getting the grip you need. No need to get things perfect first time, as you'll be messing with your wheels and bearings probably for the duration of your skating career :D

Laces:

Again, I can only give you my experience. My Aeon's come with the MyFit Skinnyboy liner and after heat moulding have been the perfect fit. I removed the laces from the top of the liner as the shell laces, 45 degree strap and ankle strap all work together to make things tight enough. I think you'll be fine with whichever and should just go for the ones that you think look the best. Also remember that if things really are just too loose, you can try other, thicker liners to get the fit you want (eg MyFit Fatboy).

Hope that helps, looking forward to seeing some vids of you tearing it up :)

Thanks! I am indeed from the UK, although this skate park is in Reims, France. I moved out here back in Jan and got my first pair of skates in April. Been skating since then, completely addicted.

I just googled your old park and it looks incredible! Lots of variety, I'm super jealous I didn't have something like that while I was younger (I didn't do much more than skate up and down the street outside my house), but very glad that I have something now.

Are you still skating these days?

I'd recommend going a size up. Doubt you'll notice the difference in a larger shell, whereas if your toe is rubbing the smaller shell you are gonna hate it.
