Solo Session at Scotland’s Newest Skatepark – Rennie Road Skatepark, Kilysth
from wheelsceneblading on 9 Mar 2022

A new 65k skatepark has just been built in Kilysth, Scotland, and it’s relatively nearby, so I drove along to see what it’s like. It’s randomly situated on the top of a hill amongst some houses on what appears to be wasteland, with a great video out over Lanarkshire, although it was quite windy on the day which made it harder to skate.I learned two things from this session. Skating on your own is not motivating in the slightest and filming yourself is a total pain in the arse. It didn’t help that I forgot to bring a tripod.The design of the park is interesting and unlike many others nearby, but the ramps are a steeper than is ideal, which makes it hard to generate speed for some of the obstacles. It’s worth a visit if you’re curious, but probably not something you would return to often.The other park clips referenced in the video are from this video: Elliot Provan – Delicate https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rIG4jbmqbLkMusic by Myline // – https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDbidb6N4wqwPSPetzLRuUg/videosVisit our our online shop – https://wheelscene.bigcartel.comFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/wheelscenebl…Instagram: wheelscene

Roka Frames – a cost effective alternative to Wizard Frames?
from wheelsceneblading on 7 Mar 2022

Roka Frames launched last year as a cost effective alternative to Wizard frames and the UK company seems to be doing well as they have sold out multiple times since their inception.Like Wizard, Roka offers both four and five-wheel frame options, so in this video we take a look at the similarities and differences between the two brands, and offer some more information on the rocketing system…and how it compares to the Wizard rockering system. If you would like to try out Wizard skating but can’t justify making such a big financial commitment until you are sure it’s something you want to pursue, this could be the frame for you. https://rokaskating.comVisit our our online shop – https://wheelscene.bigcartel.comFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/wheelscenebladingInstagram: wheelscene

Why Rollerblading Was Dropped From The X Games
from wheelsceneblading on 17 Feb 2022

There has been a lot of discussion over why aggressive inline – or rollerblading – was dropped from the X Games and it’s considered to be one of the reasons why participation numbers in the sport went down so drastically. This video looks into the various theories that have been thrown around over the years regarding what contributed to the eventual exclusion of aggressive inline from the X Games, including the smear campaign from skateboarding, the rumour that Arlo Eisenberg was somehow responsible and the blading community’s negative attitude towards corporate events.

I also speak to Jason Hines, who worked at the majority of the X Games while aggressive inline was a part of the competition and whose company oversaw the inline event up until it was removed. He advises of the major issues that led to the X Games getting rid of rollerblading.
