Biffsk8er: Pictures of new skates (6. Jun. 2008 20:46)
 I just recently built a new set-up. I tried inline boots....but I hated them; Too restrictive! I went back to low ankle quad speed boots. For skate plates, I used snow skis that I cut to length. I bolted Grindking trucks on the front and Phantom II's on the back; as far forward and rearward as they would go (for better stability). In between my trucks, I bolted on modified Able inline frames for grinds and slides.

So far I am very pleased with the result, though I do want to change out the able frames for something with a wider lockin area for sliding rails. Maybe something more like Xsjado frames with the big v-cut.

I am having a problem loading pics. I'll restart my computer and send photos in just a second.

Cheers!

 I have some pics now. One thing I forgot to mention is that I cut my able frames before I made my new plates. Once I made my new plates, my trucks were spaced further apart. This made me realize that I had cut my Able frames too short. Next time, I'll make sure they go all the way from truck to truck!!

Cheers!

where are you from and where do you skate? I make my pics a smaller file size jpeg, when they don't load.

I am from Austin Texas and I'll skate where ever there is vert!! At least, if I can get there! ;)

I'll try to save these as just jpeg to see if this will work. I think it is already a jpeg, so how do I make it a smaller jpeg??

Thanks for your ideas.

You need some kind of image processing program. Gimp is a free one, but it also is quite powerful, having lots of additional functionality. With this image processing program, you would change the size of the picture. A width of about 800 pixels usually is completely sufficient for the web. You shouldn't compress it too much (JPEGs can also be reduced in file size by compression) since the pic will start to look fuzzy.
