Jun Suzuki & Friends In Singapore



It was a great and chilling session with Jun Suzuki and his friends.
All the way from Nagoya, Japan...
A well known "old school" Japanese Vert Skater..
What is so respectful about them?
Definitely not the tricks they can do,
I am talking about the spirit of these rollerbladers.
I am talking about their age..
Jun, Ino, and Yoshi are same age this year, 37.
Mune is Ino's wife, very near to 35.
They not only can take the impact,
They aren't scared of height too.
That's what I'm talking about..
Rollerblading4Life~!!!

ROLLABOUT!

P-Rail Making



This is how it happened..
The idea came out during my office hour,
Sketching out a very simple blueprint and sent to my brother Yaw;
and he agreed to take a shot see if we could make it.
So we went to get wood, PVC pipe, screws, and all the tools & equipment ready
on a Saturday morning.
I want to thank Yaw, for all his strength, power, passion, support, energy, etc.

First of all... you need to buy the materials.. Wood and PVC Pipe.. and of course, you must have your tools and equipment and do not forget your safety equipment as well.

prailmaking_007
It is a little IMPOSSIBLE if you think you can do it alone. So.. you will also need the best brother in the world to help you up.

prailmaking_023
Then only we start Making a P-Rail.

prailmaking_009
Measurement & Angle is important in making the "A" which accommodate the PVC Pipe.

prailmaking_010
Once done, Drill both pieces of wood to form a solid base from avoiding the "A" splitting.

prailmaking_011
Saw to trim the base #1.

prailmaking_012
Saw to trim the base #2, obviously, we need 2 bases, at least.

prailmaking_010
finishing base #2

prailmaking_015
Now, how to drill the PVC on the "A"?

prailmaking_001Measuring is required again.

prailmaking_002
Perfect is not necessary, but Do it precisely.

prailmaking_003
And this is how we secure the "A" on the Base.
3 screws went down directly.
Make sure they all go all the way in, best is to force them flush.

prailmaking_016
Most ppl still didnt get this as most of the online "How to make a P-rail edit" didn't show as close as this.
So, this is how we did it. Drilled a hole from the PVC and...

prailmaking_017
a screw went through the pipe and lock itself onto the "A".
You got to make sure the angle is correct.

prailmaking_020
And to avoid the crack like this.. drill at least approximately half a foot from the edge of the wood. Unless u are getting a high quality wood, then this notice is discard.

prailmaking_014
More screws for the base.
If the screw is too long and somehow pops out from the wood when u do the drilling from the PVC to the "A" with a wrong angle, you can alway cut the screw to shorter.

prailmaking_004

prailmaking_019
Almost done..

prailmaking_018
Final turn of the final screw, finally

prailmaking_006
Finally!!!
Yeah!!! This is it, the making of P-Rail.

prailmaking_005
Truly from WEE BROS. ENGINEERING CO.
Haha~!!!

prailmaking_021
If u love stickers.. you could add them on as deco for ur personal p-rail.

prailmaking_022
After that.. Start skating~

Hope you enjoy reading this "P-Rail Making" page.
Try it yourself, GOOD LUCK!

USD Carbons II Review


IMG_8104

It's been a long time since my last update of this blog,
First of all, I send my apologies to all you guys who are continuing to support.
There were a lot of things going on before this post.
However, what I am more interested of putting on this time is...
USD Carbons II.

IMG_8103

My setup is to combine as much white as possible.
I like to see the carbon fibre texture to be obvious.
So white soul plates and white Create Original frames is my choice.

Fresh setup of my USD CarbonsII

Carbons II is the rollerblades I'd always wanted to own,
According to most rollerbladers, they will say:
"Carbons II? You will either like it or You will hate it."

IMG_8117

I take my risk as I follow my instinct.
Well, I love it!

Over the pole
I've try the Kelso Carbons before.
Eventually, the Carbons II has made BIG improvements.
Especially the paddings, the insoles, built-in liners, etc.
All the combo improvements made were just perfect for my feet.

Soul

My advise to you all if you are getting the Carbons II is,
Get 1 size down of your normal size.
My case, I got myself 2 sizes down. Yes, I am serious.

topsoul

I'll talk less and let's enjoy viewing my latest photos
Trying out the Carbons II in the streets in Sengkang area, place where I am staying now.


Needless to say more, I guess everybody know Carbons II before you read this page.
Yes, they are super light weight, super controllable, Comfortable, and
most importantly, they really give me more confidence.
You could mostly do what you imagined, feel what you imagined.

TRUE; from Addis Tan & Marc


TRUE


Addis Tan has come back to the scene after his injury back on few months ago.
Doing his thing right, hanging out with Marc & friends.
Changes the way of how he think about rollerblading,
"TRUE".

"It helps me to sort out my life properly; What I want, what I should be doing, What I shouldn't be doing."

"We don't rollerblade for the sake of rollerblading, we don't rollerblade just to learn new tricks.. Not to impress people... ..."

Carpark Rooftop "LOW" Session


IMG_3797B
Last week, after the burning session with Sukeats in ECP,
The next street session continued in Lor A.Soo,
Happening on a rooftop of a carpark somewhere around that area,
Here are the photos..
Hope you guys like them all.

IMG_3807
We had a super low curb session on this carpark,
Weather was cooling down as compared the morning.
A little wax and water created a good sliding surface,
Which made our day "Hyped"~!!!





When the "hype" went up,
More tricks started hitting the low curb.





IMG_3874
Obviously, Dil hit this "Double Topside Split",
I don't know how to name this trick,
But he locked and shocked us all~!!!
This was the "Trick of the day"~!!!





We also did some royales on the short but "risky" rail.
There was a few shelter steels on top,
If you stand up to high while grinding...
They will get you down.

IMG_3857
I gave myself a few attempts of Soul grind for the 3-4ft riser wall.

That's all folks..
Thanks for viewing.
