Bures sur Yvette (2008/6/28) SOUL

Trying to learn soul.... First I try to do stalls with my rigth feet front, left behind (it's the reverse from my 50-50 grinds), then grind like this on 3 trucks, then soul!!!! Still need to learn how to get a better control of my back skate....
Movement and position of the hands is very important, hands forward helps (specially the left one)

Wearable Cam Geonaute X-Snipe 300 (Made by Oregon scientific)

First try of this cam with my rolleskates (hope to try it windsurfing, snowboarding or cycling too). Tried it on the side of the helmet, but balance is not good and confusing for me, as riding in a ramp the head anticipate all movements and non balanced inertia is tricky to cope with. Placed on top of the helmet, inertia is better balanced and it seems to be good compromise for quality and security (mine and the cam). As the top of my head seems (up to now) less impact attractive, and lateral impacts with the cam on the side could be really dangerous for my neck.....

Hope I can do better quality next time on a bigger ramp or on trecks ;-)

Zorg quad skates V2

Welcome to Doc Zorg corner!!

As used to say my grand-father, a good drawing is worth long explainations... so to make it short, here are some picts of my second version: heavy metal!!!! 3kg each, with iron sliders, 22cm inter axes (BTW, just seen the movie IRONMAN, some parallel could be done, huhu!!)

Guyancourt ramp session (june 2008)

With a perfect blue skie, I planned to go skating on my nearby ramp, aka Bures sur Yvette. So I went there as usual, starting with cleanning the ramp as usual, then I put my skate and protecs, finishing by my whrist guards.....Damned, forgot them at home... So I pack everything, go back home, take the damned whrist gards, come back to the ramp, pad up again full armor this time: ahaha, that's it, I'm ready to skate!!! Start to pump up, ouch!!! why are my skates so slippery .... go down, I touch the ramp and dang, spots of grease (butter may be?), too many of them to be removed: end of session.....exactly like some of my soft nightmares (on hard ones, w(h)ell the ones I can told here, I fall hard from 10m miss airs...)
So I pack everything for the second time, and driving back home, thinking about this sunny day without skating, humm, why not trying Guyancourt ramp, I've not tested it yet, only seen it once a rainny day: it's wide, not very high, 15min driving, perfect to try long long slides without the fear of vert!!!! So finally it worked out!!!!
So finally, a perfect 2.5h good session (after cleaning again a ramp...from dust and cherry cores)

Rando Roller-Coquillage, Guiness record (2008 june 15th)

Not vert skating, but stil much fun!!!! And this time, finally, after having communicated several years on internet, I met Xav from rollerquad.net and other cool quad skaters from Paris!!! I miss city skating!!
Here are some picts from Roller et Coquillage (tons on their web site) and vid from me. Try to catch me on the picts: I am on all, just try to find a yellow spot....
