Valo Liners Improvement Review


Before and after I got my Valo on my feet,
Many people was talking about the super thin liners of Valo,
And also the footbase problem, everything was too thin.
However, looks like the Valo AB.1 had a promise of improving it.
As a result, I think the liner cushion fits me with comfily.
But the footbase is quite unsatisfying I can say,
As far as I could feel, it is as thin as you could even feel the screws of the boot base.

TineSponge
Here I would like to share my idea to improve the better footbase.
Giving me more comfy and 'Air'... Yah, like Nike Air kind of thing.
All I need is just a simple 2mm thick product wrapper sponges from my office.

ScissorNPen
A pen and a scissor,
And my skates ready as well, of course.

TakeOutBase
Take if my liner, and take out the liner too.

DrawingOutline
Trace my footbase on the sponge I had.

OutlineDone
Here is how it looks like,
I press my footbase flat down to trace the outline,
To get the best shape when I put it back in my skate.

CutoutBase
Then cut it out...

DrawOutline
You can always make extra pieces of footbase,
Depends on how you like your skate more spaces and fitting.
I made 2 pieces for my Valo as I think it's really necessary.

3pieces
So here I've got 3 identical footbases...

PutInAllBases
Stuff in all 3 footbases into my liner.

SchollHeelGel
And I also added a Scholl brand heel gel for more 'Air' feel.

TestFit
Testing the fitting, and it's just nice to feel I have a pair of Valo with 'Air MAX' footbase.

AO Topsoul
That's it,
Few simple steps to make a better Valo footbase,
This can be done on all kind of skates of course,
Economical and simple and good, really good.
Try it yourself~!!!

Langkawi Skatepark




Finally, I'm back from Langkawi.
I didn't go there for skating, which I definitely wish to.
Alright, so here is a small skatepark in Kuah Town Langkawi,
Located in a recreational park near to the Eagle Square.


I could say that it was well maintained,
So far I only see skateboarders there.


Yah, I know, the park is indeed looks like it was designed for skateboarders,
But it is still 'rollerbladable'.


That's all of the pictures I took with my camera phone,
It's just another skatepark to share with everyone.

Mike 'Murda' Johnson; Wow~!!!



Don't blame me for knowing only his name but not his acrobatics,
Mike 'Murda' Johnson,
To me, he is the biggest killer on the street of rollerblading.
Even my girlfriend could watch this video and got amazed by his switches,
Not to mention me, I watched it more than 10times just on yesterday night.
This video was posted in youtube for more than 3 years,
He has been creating so much of combos so much earlier than ever.
So, what do you think we shall be heading to?

Who could ever thought of this wonderful idea?



Who could ever thought of this wonderful idea?
It was originally the Black Valo AB.1, Customized in the Red Wine colored Zebra skin.
Not exactly customized, but it was dyed in Red.
Extraordinary huh?

Rollabout.blogspot.com; Now online~!!!


KiaraGeng

Alright, so now the blog is officially online,
Rollabout is...
Sounds like Roundabout,
Which I normally face during my normal working life.
We are rollerbladers, and we roll from one place to another,
Rolling about local streets and skateparks.
So, the concept name of 'Rollabout' came out from Edosh's mind,
Interpreting all of us, are riding our skates not only in the skateparks,
But also traveling around.

Just as simple as that,
http://rollabout.blogspot.com.

We'll provide you guys as much latest skate news as possible,
Whether we grab them locally or internationally,
As long as they are interesting to be posted here.

Roll on~!!!
