Thread: "All the grinds" on a Powerblading setup.

    That actually impressed me, the back sav was sick. But, i think powerblading is a little like 3d movies. it was somewhat interesting to see the first time but now your just trying to shove it down our throats and it will neve truly catch on.

    the edit was impressive but if i buy powerblades im not gonna take them to a ledge to try to do royales and torques with them, the whole point id buy them is to skate from one place to another in style and go balls fast. the only trick in that whole edit he needed powerblades for was the soul to fakie stair bash so why not just skate regular frames if your going to go hang out and skate a ledge?

    not hating on powerblading but didnt we start with big wheels and evolved to h-blocks because of grinds and that aspect of skating and now were moving back to big wheels to do the same type of skating? just seems if this is the way people are going to use them then arent we moving backwards?

    Edits show- Yes, you can.

    And about having good time skating them, cruising around, etc.. you need edit for that? NO!


    Now please stop bitching about people grinding with those frames and "h-block evolution".

    I still don't understand the drama behind Powerblading. The Conference is trying to re-invent something and rename it - big deal. The edit was enjoyable and that front torque was smooth.

    "hey bro wanna skate a ledge today"


    "hold up bro, gotta switch my frames so people know I can grind on my powerbladez"


    "won't that be less fun, more of a hassle, and reduce your trick vocab to that of just starting?"


    "yeah dude, exactly."

    For all these guys grinderpowerblading their tendons and ankle ligaments into stretched out rubberbands, why not just force them to use Kizer Slimlines flat and have real edits featuring street tricks they'd normally do with anti-rockers?

    exactly. I love these frames for getting around, its a good time. And if you need the frames in order to do the trick i think its cool. But just making grinds harder for no reason is really dumb. reminds me of people using fixie bikes as a bmx.
