After six months of skating the Mesmer Eclipse, I offer my thoughts on the fit, the performance, the changes I have made and how they are holding up after months of use.To see more videos like this that aren’t on the YouTube channel, join the Wheel Scene Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/wheelscene
If you want to help inline skating grow in your local community and you want to create more skaters, one solution is giving the gift of rollerblading to family and friends by giving them a pair of skates for a birthday present, Christmas present or even just donating old skates to anyone who shows an interest in the sport. As a result of having a primary school age child, I regularly come into contact with other children and their parents who want to give it a try and I have introduced a bunch of them to the activity by inviting them to the local roller disco, offering to teach my daughter’s friends and parents how to skate, gifting old skates to parents who are keen to learn, and the number of skaters in our local town has grown as a result. The video was originally recorded at in winter 2025 for Patreon. To see more videos like this, join the Wheel Scene Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/c/wheelscene
Dunblane skatepark was originally built in 2007, but it looks like it was built much earlier based on how dated the concrete looks and the number of cracked and crumbling surfaces there are around the park. Then again, the original design and build wasn’t exactly great in the first place. The bowl is practically useless because the coping is sunken so low beneath the surface of the platform and some of the other obstacles are just terribly thought out. Then again, this is what happens when a construction company rather than a skatepark building company are in charge of design and construction. However, there are some fun sections that you can gain many hours of enjoyment out of, as I found out.

I visited Cumbernauld, a town voted Scotland’s worst multiple times, to see if its one and only skatepark was just as bad. Abronhill Skatepark was built in 2010, but it looks like a relic from the 1990s. The obstacle choices are poor, the build quality isn’t great and the materials are crumbling. In summary, it was a bit of a challenge!To see more videos like this that are not on YouTube, join the Wheel Scene Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/wheelscene
