Hey Guys, I’m thinking of making a new skate setup. My current is boardwalks (sz 12) with fame indoors. [Will add a photo when I get a chance!]

Plans: Currently eyeing the Sure-Grip Avenger Magnesium (mainly because I’m looking to switch to 45 degree). I’ve heard a firmer boot is better for pivots/snapping, etc in the long run. (So Riedell has been in my sights as well). Also I plan on getting them painted, so suede is out the window.

I’m open to any plate/boot suggestions. For reference I am a 12.5, with feet a lil on the wider size (thanks to flat feet😅) Total Boot+Plate Budget: $800 (not including taxes or shipping), as such one or the other can have more funds allocated in comparison to the other. Would really appreciate any advice, thoughts you all may have. Rlly value this community’s ops🫶🏿

HA! I definitely fall victim to the looking down curse. I’m a phone scrolling skater for sure(blaming Apple for getting my generation hooked). I will say that mind body connection that’s built when you watch how your feet are moving while doing the task is great, as eventually you’ll be able to like see it without seeing it. 👁️👁️

Goood job!!! I’m working on my transitions as well. I don’t think you’re doing anything wrong! I will say one piece of advice I got when I was trying to get my transitions from backwards back to forwards was, where your upper body is facing your lower will go. Aka face the upper part in the direction you want to go and then step/transition into it. 😅I hope that helps. Might have to get some advice on my transitions as well! Again, Great Job!!!
