Sounds nice, would you share a video of someone skating the style you strive for?
I happened to listen to Look Mum No Computer when I started learning inline skating. Today, I still enjoy listening to these two albums in particular:
Also, I really enjoyed the track in the beginning of The Wizard of Wall Street, Slowdance, and sometimes listened to it when skating; unfortunately, I don’t like any of the artist’s other songs.
When I need something more upbeat, I often go for Thick Boy Records.
Currently I enjoy wizard skating the most: It’s full of technical challenges, but it also has a relatively low risk of injury.
I’d like to do more aggressive street stuff, but neither do I want to buy another pair of skates nor do I want to change frames frequently.
For now I’ll keep improving my wizard skills until I feel confident enough to try more park and street tricks.
These two videos convinced me to give wizard skating a try:
Previously I only skated quads, but I felt more comfortable on blades relatively quickly.

What do you think makes one non-binary?
They really do look sleek, very nice!
What kind of surface do you usually skate on? Maybe your streets are more on the rougher side?
Also, the hardness of the wheels might not be optimal for durability.
When you decide to get new wheels you might check out this video first, it also talks about rotating the wheels (which, I suppose, is the same as twisting them?).
I created [email protected], a community for quad & inline skating. So far there was only a single post from someone other than me. 🥲
I’d also like to go much more niche with a community specifically for wizard skating. But considering the limited popularity of skating communities, there is no need to hurry creating that one.
I use it on a Raspberry Pi 4.
On the one hand I like Lua for its elegant, minimalistic design. I enjoy writing Lua, most of the time when working on Neovim plugins.
On the other hand I value the raw expressive power of C++. It is a beast, but I enjoy taming it.
Damn, actually can’t wait to get there (just have to actually finish something first).
I think most of his own videos are tasteless and barely funny. But this one is great.
