Kevin’s Blade Stash – Part 1.

So for those who don’t know, I had an unfortunate accident back in November,  tearing the ACL in my right knee to shreds, leaving me unable to blade until this coming September.  Balls.

In the mean time, I’ve been pulling out some old gems from the Dekalzshop days and started messing with different setups.

I’m using a pair of Original New Old Stock (NOS) black size 7 Albert Hooi UFS throne shells as the base, and building around it with various cuffs, liners, laces, soul kids and frames/wheels.

Here’s the list of goodies I have so far:

  • NOS – Red 2 piece souls
  • NOS – Abdiel Colberg souls (Grey rear, black front)
  • NOS – Black 2 piece souls
  • NOS – White Diamond Hooi 3 piece souls with white backslide
  • NOS – Chrome Sagona 3 piece, front and back chrome, black backslide
  • NOS – Black 3 piece (Thank you Tim Adams!)
  • Extra White 3 piece heel plates
  • Kizer Slimline Turquoise  Frames (Thank you Mark Korte and The Conference)
  • Kizer Slimline White Frames
  • Kizer Slimline team Frames
  • White GC Featherlite 1 Frames
  • Jug Precise Liners
  • Sifika Carlos Pianowski 7 Liners

Here are just a few of the setups that I could think of…. post if you want to see something different.

What should I skate? Help me pick. I should have black cuffs and buckles really soon, if that helps you decide.

Total Photo Overkill!

Ok, ok, so I got a new camera and I can’t put it down.

So much about learning photography is hit or miss- I just hope I get less shit at it before my endlessly patient friends are completely bored of hearing “Can you do that again? I missed it, sorry”. Thursday Night Skates are a bit up in the air at the moment- nobody seems able to co-ordinate far enough in advance that we all move as a Unit, so we end end up in tiny little groups across the GTA, grumbling about how no-one seems to want to skate together any more. Not true!

From a Downtown perspective it is difficult to get to parks outside the city without a car unless Kevin or Dan drive (and now we have enough skaters downtown that we need both to transport everyone out there), and with our little scene blossoming again in the city we’re exploring and finding new things to skate every time we go out. I promise we’ll start to see more of a united front in the coming months; it just requires better planning and co-ordination.

Enough waffle! Last night we ended up skating a great ledge that Dave recently spent the time bricking and waxing conveniently over the road from St George subway station. Its an awesome spot and once we’ve finished bricking everything it’ll be great for some awesome lines.
