yeah I think razor SLs would probably be the best to start on, they accommodate a wide range of fits, just make sure if you're around 270mm like me you get the 8/9.5 shell as the bigger one would be too long, but its really all personal preference, everyone's feet are difference and that tends to be the deciding factor for what skates people like the most. And yeah putting my prail in the grass for my first few soul grinds really helped me build some confidence, I was struggled hard those first few months, but man it really pays off if you don't give up!

​@@inlineonline Man, you're such a champ. I'm scoping out some black friday deals now - thank you for this info and quick response! I'll report back! :)

dji mic 2!

@@papamolly_ I use the Fox d30 pro downhill mountain bike pads for my elbows and knees, ennui shin guards and I run through wrist guards all the time and just pick up whatever is cheapest lol The pads have saved me from so many real injuries, I still get bruises and stuff but nothing substantial

@@inlineonline Thank You!

@@inlineonline I also use biking product on my legs. IXS knee-shin guards. bikers and moto have knee and shin protections down tight

yeah I took a couple shinners on basic gform shin pads and knew I needed something a bit more robust lol

thank you bro!! starting to feel like a real skater lol

hell yeah!! have fun out there

Thank you bro I feel like the last couple weeks have been really good for me and I'm absolutely loving the shadows, some foot pain issues just like everything else but they are super fun to skate! And they slide better than anything else I have. Get back out there bro!! Especially if you have an indoor for the winter

No I don't I've tried to get into yoga once or twice but I could never commit to it, it's so hard to it feels like I have to commit to skipping a workout and doing yoga instead which is tough for me... But you're absolutely right I should be at least stretching more, I used to stretch fully 3 times a day but since I've started blading I've been a bit lazy with my fitness. It used to be my all I thought about so I think I got a bit burnt out with fitness stuff but I need to starting working it back in, especially dynamic stuff like stretches and box jumps. You can probably tell I go all in on stuff so it can actually be hard for me to put attention towards anything that isn't blading right now, it's a problem haha last year I was obsessed with cycling in the same way I'm obsessed with blading right now. I need to learn to balance things better which is my goal for the winter

No indoor park near you??? And yeah I don't skate without my shin guards, it still hurts through them but no lasting damage

thank you!! have fun out there, raining all day for me today so Ill have to take the day off

@@inlineonline Unfortunately I have a cold and have to wait some more days until I can skate again. More sadly is that the weather is great at the moment. :(

@@luedinski damnn that unfortunate, maybe its a good excuse to just go push around and work on flatground skating!

yeah I was a little worried about that at first to but the new shadows are super protective, the toe cap at the front is super hard so it feels just like any other boot. Honestly I was a little bit disappointed to realize how "normal" these shadows felt, I expected a much difference experience. But once you put them on and the fit is adjusted correctly, they feel like any other boot I have, honestly very similar to my factions with the big soul plates and flexibility

im having so much fun lately

@inlineonline It's been really fun to watch. I'm recovering from a kind of nasty injury right now. I'm definitely living vicariously through your progress. Keep it up! 👏👏

Oh man that sucks what happened???

@@inlineonline I was surfing and got hit by a kite boarder. I am mostly over the physical recovery. I have my last PT appointment next week. My brain still isn't right though and I am just scared to fall still. It's been just over 2 months. It's getting better but it's just so slow. Your videos have been helpful with the FOMO though. I still feel like I am getting to session haha.

@@willshred4money sheesh that does not sound fun but glad you're taking your recovery seriously so you can fully enjoy it when you get back out there!! I know it sucks sitting out for so long but youre doing it right. And thank you bro thats kinda the vibe I go for, I don't have people to really skate with so you guys are my skate crew lmao

its really such an important learning tool, not sure I would have learned much without my trusty pvc rail lol

its super easy, just two 2x6s and pvc, I made a tutorial a few months ago th-cam.com/video/bElrrSn5NO4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=aQPesfSsrdxQjCBs

I think ive got my fit in a good place now, did a street session 2 days ago with no pain so thats a good sign

thats a good idea, I actually had plantar fasciitis like a decade ago in right after high school, I remember it being super painful when I stepped out of bed in the morning. It doesn't really hurt in the same way but I wouldnt be surprised if that was it lol

@@inlineonline may be a RSI, never hurts to just check, catch it early if your lucky and u have it again, I'm currently on a MCL healing journey lol

Oh man that sucks hopefully you heal up fast, ive got a few injuries I've been scared of getting check out but I need to just do it

@@inlineonline always worth it dude. Better safe than sorry

good one you sound super smart lol totally not sub 80 IQ

@ I re-read my message, sorry I forgot to put power before the bottom part.

@@mikefarrar3403 you are not making sense lol

black friday sales coming up!!

@@kevincollins8620 yup they are my go to shop

I feel like every blader should try these at least once, they feel really cool

@@inlineonline price tag for some isn't as nice :p

Yeah I think I'm at a point where they feel really good right now, I've made a lot of adjustments since this video and broken a few parts but I've enjoyed the shadows alot regardless And I actually have those kizer x freestyle frames! I haven't used them since I first started blading so maybe it's time to give them a shot on the shadows, it's only right lol I'm just scared of wheelbite, when I tried those frames I quickly realized I have basically no wheel bite protection lmao and the groove is terrifying

Yeah Im not what I was expecting but once I started skating it was just like anything else, I will say that I've dialed in my fit alot since this video and it's super comfortable now. I had a few things setup wrong on day 1

200lbs straight to the pavement never feels good lol

@@inlineonlineyep, me around 240 atm.

those are sick actually bought the cuff and foot pad for those so I can turn my current shadows into a shadow where I can use my own shoes, it was cheap enough I figured I might as well order the parts and try it out

Totally different experience, a bit harder to focus on my tricks because I was having so much fun watching them skate lol and I soaked up as many tips as I could, all the advice they gave me helped so much

@inlineonline can't wait to see u shread them xsjados been loving mine about to hit the park now

@@xlordxsithxroyalmiller3185 helll yeah bro have fun out there!! the first shadow video drops tomorrow

It was so awesome to watch, not my best session but my confidence has shot up since. Can't wait for you guys to see the USD Shadow videos

Yeah it was really awesome to watch them skate, kinda helped me realize what's possible

thank you!! it felt really good

I'm always in between the fluid 4 and create originals, both are really good but have a little bit different pros and cons

I have to always remind myself to check my wheels. I've been finally getting better with it.

yeah that one felt pretty good, Im don't like landing 1 foot at a time though so its a bit bittersweet haha gotta jump out next time and land solid

its 10 feet and 14 inches off the ground lol

if my left foot is in the royale position on mizu thats not even a mizu lol thats a mistrial or topside mistrial

I'll try to think about cross my shins, I feel like I can't get low and lock in at the same time right now, it's frustrating lol

Well said

It's was definitely a mental battle for me, I should probably work on mizus more first 🤣

Yeah I gotta just send it, I'm getting alottttt more comfortable lately so I gotta take advantage and actually start trying to skate different stuff, I get so focused on trying to make my grinds better, I don't even remember to do anything else lol

@inlineonline working through different terrain will make the grinds better. Obviously it's great to practice the standards on easy to use stuff... but if your working on progress you're going to want to hit something with an angle to it. Especially for getting more comfy on royales and topsides.

@@kevincollins8620 yeah I noticed that one time I did a royale on a very small down ledge actually really so good, I bet royales will feel real nice to ride out on a real hubba
