Just wondering, how many of you aggressive skate and what skate do u use?

I aggro skate and use Razors Elliott Pro model. My favorite trick is Mizou to Backslide transfer on rails.

I do it a fair amount, I don't do many spins and stuff I do lots of that stuff like 180 mute to soul grind to 180 off on like picnic tables and stuff. I've got some great Razor Super Flats, huge grind surface.

I ride USD Latimer pro models, before those I had Roces Fifth Elements and K2 Fatty Pros. I skated soooo much this summer....
I can grind okay, but I love airs more. I can do backflips, fronts, mistys, and rodeos. hehe I'm a beast.

Wow,
I was the exact opposite of you when i skated. I would just grind all day. I hit a kicker aobut 1 or twice a month!! Haha. 'i would just find a pretty easy rail and just try really technical stuff on it. Like true spin alley oop mizou and unnatural true spin to alley oop soul, and just hard grinds. I think its cool how there are two distinct aspects of the4 sport and there both dope.

PEACE

haha, you are a beast dude, go hard!!

I used to ride some Salomons, they were pretty sick but then I stopped when the winter started calling my name...

Ah well, summer's coming so I can skate again. Still rather ski though.

Yeah I'm not very good at airs I think the most I've ever spun on skates was a 540 I did off a rail, lol. I just like rails better because you can just carry your skates around and find an ok one almost everywhere.

if you did a 540 off a rail, you would land sideways.

AppSkier is correct, if you did a 540 off a rail, you'd end up sideways when you land. You'd have to do a 450 to land backwards or a 630 to land forwards.

man grinding is such a bitch- I can do the basics; frontside, backside, souls, pornstar, miszou, etc. And alleyoop souls, pornstars, stuff like that. But anything more, like switchups, or TRUESPIN! I hate truespin... I suck at all the complicated grinds. I think it takes way more skill to be good at grinding than being good at air tricks.

um yeah, that would be true is you only did roale type grinds where you are perpendicular to the rail. But you can also grind where you are facing parille to the rail, and since most of the stuff I do is ledges I do the parille kind more.

just to resolve the 540-450 conflict here....
say you are doing a makio. You are facing directly down the rail. 540 off, you land backwards. see? so tele-jibbers right. hehe

Cats always land on their feet. Toast always lands buttered side down. I propose we strap pieces of toast to the backs of cats, buttered side up, and net them all together, the contraption, hovering inches above the surface, could link a monorail from Vancouver to New York.

Thanx, Tele-Jibber. I missed that. Also, Razor is coming out with Elliott Pro 2. Fuckin' great news to me. The Elliott's are far much better than the Shimas.
