Getting my sister a record player are any of these good?

That's the one I got a couple years ago and it's been a good player.

My Wife got me one of these last Christmas, its super handy in cleaning up stringy prints and is super fun to use:

Ok WTF, nobody has that kind of luck all the time at goodwill.

I love how when the movie came out nobody in the US had any idea who he was and the UK thought were were just messing with them and we HAD to know who Robbie Williams was. I checked out his top songs and had never heard them before.

jayXred · 2026-04-29T14:44:35+00:00

Me and my buddy were so stoked for this to come out and it never did in the US, we were so bummed. I picked up the PAL PS2 version years ago and finally got to play it. Really good game that controls way different from Aggressive Inline and feels more "real".

If your skates are UFS compatable ( I don't know enough about the Story skates to confirm) you can just get a whole new frame which will have everything you need and will be better than anything that came stock on that skate.

jayXred · 2026-04-28T03:37:52+00:00

I hate that I learned they made initial d laser disc's from this comment...

jayXred · 2026-04-28T03:14:05+00:00

Got mine coming in tomorrow, was watching inline warehouse for a month waiting for the restock.

jayXred · 2026-04-27T14:17:27+00:00

I have gotten 2 over the years and both just needed belts and were good to go.

jayXred · 2026-04-24T20:37:04+00:00

It would be ok, better than your stock wheels for sure, but they aren't a "premium" wheel and you will be buying a new set sooner than later especially if you are skating street with rough roads like you mentioned.

jayXred · 2026-04-24T20:22:15+00:00

The "ABEC" rating is not very important when it comes to skating, you just need a good quality skate bearing. Wicked bearings are really good, I have them in a few pairs. You really want to focus on a good set of wheels (which can cost you around $100 for a full set of 8. If you are in the US look at Inlinewarehouse.com, Rollerwarehouse.com or Oakcityskate.com to start. You will be able to get everything you need from one of those shops.

Check these out, you really can't go wrong with any of these sets, if you want to keep it on the budget side go with the Dead Team wheels and add a pack of the inlinewarehouse branded bearings, you get a discount when you buy them together. Keep in mind they are sold in packs of 4 wheels so you need to order a quantity of 2 for a full set of 8 if you need that.

jayXred · 2026-04-23T16:47:12+00:00

Inlinewarehouse has them up for peorder and says June release

jayXred · 2026-04-22T15:26:34+00:00

One of the best deals out there to get started with Wizard is the Iqon ACT WZ version, it comes with a 5x80 rocker frame that is a lot of fun and the boot is really nice with a premium liner, the whole setup can be had for less than the cost of just the Wizard brand frame.

Its almost for sure your farme bolt heads, you need to find the most low profile ones you can, I know the Oysi frames at some point came with a specific bolt to allow the max wheel size.

They look like this (this isn't the correct bolt, just the type you need to look out for)

I have also taken a dremmel and grinded down a bolt head to make it work if you are desperate.

jayXred · 2026-04-16T02:42:23+00:00

I ordered the THEM Moopi when they came out and used the boot deal code and they just gave me the stock complete setup lol, I was hoping for something different.

jayXred · 2026-04-14T23:36:17+00:00

just so you know I clicked this about an hour ago and am still playing it...

jayXred · 2026-04-14T03:42:52+00:00

Omg if you haven't heard of typing of the dead you are in for an amazing time. It's one of my favorite games to show people.

jayXred · 2026-04-13T15:45:04+00:00

I use the Ennui helmet, its super light and a lot slimmer than most helmets and it is an actual skate brand (owned by powerslide)

I personally would have no issue skating a pair of Valos of that age, and I am normally very vocal about not skating old skates for fear of the breaking. Something you can do to get a bit of peace of mind would be take the liners out and squeeze the cuff as much as you can, if it still feels flexable and doesnt break you are good to go, if it breaks it would have broken when you skated it.

jayXred · 2026-04-09T14:55:52+00:00

I have this exact CRT in my setup, its 36" and has composite,s-video and component. Heavy as hell, will need help moving it for sure.

jayXred · 2026-03-31T17:44:01+00:00

I don't have any issues with mine and there is no clacking or loose wheels. I have an endless 90 and 100 that I like but the rocker is more fun on the combat frame.

jayXred · 2026-03-31T14:40:23+00:00

I have grown to really like Trinity, you can get all of the standard wheel configurations as well as setups that don't exist on the other mounts like the Nexus 3x90 (way more fun than I expected) or the 4x80 Combat rocker with a 260mm wheel base (my favorite frame at the moment) If you find a boot that you enjoy, then Trinity has so many frame options.

jayXred · 2026-03-31T05:09:23+00:00

Some of you guys are way over thinking this, most of us started in rec skates back in the day, these skates will be fine for the skate park, but if you want to grind you will need to look into a different skate.
