Thank you China 🖤🇨🇳

Shanghai and Changsha are two cities I have never visited before and they both treated me so good.

Food was amazing, people was very very welcoming, skaters were incredible, spots were unique and meetings went well… 

Thank you @micro.skate

Not saying that it should be done... but if it was... what might it look like?... Another classic rebooted nostalgia concept made in a spare moment. I’m away from my workshop but I have my laptop so I whipped up this sketchy digital concept render of a modernised 98 Rollerblade flagship line just for kicks. The skate which took my rolling skill to new levels was The RB Ci-5. Absolute beast of a skate, I loved it. I later had the Dirk, Edwards Daytona, G, Swindler, Suede, Delux and the TRS Access. Rode them all into the ground 🤘 Some of my hard boot setups were inspired by the late Richard Taylor and Fabiola Da Silva; running 50/50 frames and USD throne plates (and more recently M12 UFS soulframes). I liked the idea of the Solo but all the straps, vent holes and higher ride just wasn’t for me. This is my halfway point concept; Lower profile 1pc soul frame, optional powerstraps & classic toebox shell lines. Clean, simple & street tough like the original with some modern Rollerblade touches and those oldschool channel grooves. ToTalLy rAd! It’s more of a cheesy retro novelty tribute concept so realistically I can’t see Rollerblade ever going in this kind of direction which is understandable. Some things should just be left in the past. They appear to be doing something innovative & exciting with the Solo and I’m all for it🤘

I was going to run the 🕷 treatment on my original Dirk but I can’t bring myself to tear them up for a concept. Although if I can get my hands on a decent near new set of UK8 RB’s in this shape... well 🕷 🛠...Open to donations 😉

Anyway, pic 1: Dirk, 2: Daytona, 3: CI5, 4: how I’d ride it, 5: My own classic setup, 6: The 1998 original Dirk -📸@be_nopro
