actually all along i didnt stay at one place to learn t-stop. i just go urban n den anyhow learn t-stop. and that cause me to nearly trip myself a few many times. lols!

**Anarky** · 28-09-2009, 04:55 PM

as promised.. here's sort of how the area we skate in looks like.

if u come and skate urself u'll probably be chased away by the security guard la.. but maybe u can blend in with the rest of us if u join us during the weekly sessions lor. pm me to let me know if u're interested sometime =)

den slowly learn ah =P for t-break, weight on the moving leg NOT on the "breaking" leg.
the "break" leg just put there drag.

if can t-break abit but will turn those type, can try the "hardcore" way i used to =S

go down those slope at hdb those den got railings, den slowly hold railings n t-break go down.

Riceballz · 30-09-2009, 10:57 PM

haha psps didn't notice u stay in tampines too. of course we can practice together. i'm staying near TPJC (St 34) so if i got skate also is around this area de.

but u must be mentally prepared 1st, cause i really super noob. currently can move in my skates only but cant stop yet

**Anarky** · 01-10-2009, 12:24 PM

O.O!! very good way to learn is to go for urban with at least 1 other experienced skater. even if u fall a lot nvm 1, u'll go thru a lot of 'practical' lessons how to overcome obstacles like slopes, stairs, uneven ground etc.. in fact that's how i usually teach my juniors in school when they just bought skates and can't even do T-stop ^^

**qsxwdc** · 04-10-2009, 06:52 PM

I learnt to spin-stop liao but still haven't got the gist of T-stop, damn weird sia

BTW I intend to rocker my wheels soon, anyone got any good wheels to recommend for slalom? Is there any difference between 72-76-76-72 and 76-80-80-76, and also roughly how much does each wheel cost? Sorry got a lot questions here..

Riceballz · 04-10-2009, 06:59 PM

most of us use gyro wheels for slalom..
each gyro wheel cost around 8-12 bucks depending on the size.
72- 8$ 76- 10$ & 80 - 12$

76-72-72-76 and 80-76-76-80 is depend on your frame length. 231mm frame is for the 1st one & 243mm frame is for 2nd one.

and that setting is anti-rocker

rocker is 72-76-76-72 / 76-80-80-76

**qsxwdc** · 04-10-2009, 07:10 PM

Oops paiseh type the wheel profile wrongly. Thanks for all the info

Guessed I will go with 76-80-80-76 bah, since my frame is 243mm de. Sianzz rockered wheels really can burn my pocket ah!

**nph88** · 05-10-2009, 10:17 AM

Arh.. Riceballz.. Can I join you guys for training practise?? >.<

my previous rocker wheels were $*(@&$*(@&%*(@ and i gave up. i mean i had free wheels? but i gave up learning slalom because im just too tired after work. and totally not in the mood to skate already T________T

screw my skates because its ultra new.
skate = less den 5times
urban = more den 5 times
tried slide = less den 3 times
tried slalom = 1 time

and tadah, my skates are resting well at home since at least 1 month ago
