Good morning all,

I'm just about to walk out the door to go to MOSSjam 08,
the weather is perfect and there are skaters(boarders) from all over Oz in town for the weekend.Only downside is that Rollerball could not make it down.Hope everyone else has a great day.Photos to follow soon.

 Think yes, best grip for climbing!!!! but also grip on the saw..... if you want to cut them: put them on your skates, remove the front wheels (to not cut them), like this you will have a god hold on them, use a hand saw (metal, maybe for wood), take care of the rebound for your fingers...
The other solution is to find a huge, steep, rough street and break with them...

Have fun

 Correct, this is the real thing.

Also very good suggestion for cutting them down. I would have thought of the hand saw, but the suggestion to cut them when mounted to the skate is a good one. Another idea would be to screw them to a block which could be fixed by a vise.

I'm awaiting good pics! I want to see some good handplants. :-D

I'm ordering the stoppers and toe guards cause the handplants are wearing mine out lol. Its nice, now I dont need so much. But I stopped by the bike store and I'm going to get a suspension fork on my old mountain bike and a full face helmet so I can do some downhill on my off/wet days lol. I think that will help prevent overuse injuries too cause I like to do stuff everyday. And I'm gonna bike to work soon so my quads should get strong for the bowls!! So more fun for me. :-D
