New Slider Plates for my New SK8s! .......also only 3 Weeks til RollerCon SK8 Park Tour!!!!!
Sweet! But gotta go lol, loving the vids too much I'm late lol.

: Hey again everybody.
: So, I tried the new SK8s out today...twice actually but I'll get to that.
: It's time for some more ,as Bernard called it, 'JayTV' LOL!
: Anyway, I took new SK8s to the park that's literally 2 blocks from my house, but basically sucks for a big tranny skater like me. But I just wanted to try them out.
: BTW: I babble at camera for awhile in this 1st clip. Disregard what I say about video of showing you the bank-sign temp. The glare wouldn't allow it. Anyway, this clip I take a skate-cam drop-in with my sk8s for 1st time. I wanted to document it in case they snapped or something. Here it is:
:
:
: So as I said in that clip, the HMWP plates are just too low for true plate-stalls, at least on 5' mini, let alone slides. But they did work to some degree.
: Here's me attempting stalls for 1st time.
:
:
:
: Here's me doing a truck grind since the plate slides weren't gonna happen for me. I hockey slide at cam at end to not crush it. I'm not used to no Toe-Stops!!
:
:
:
:
: Here's a different angle on the bigger wall here with me trying some fakie at end. I was worried cuz I always use toestops to bail bad fakie stuff but it was ok.
:
:
:
:
: So, the astute viewer will notice that in these clips the parks deserted except for me. That's probably because it was 105 AND like I mentioned earlier it's barely worth skating.
: So, I went home & was a good daddy & watched my son for a few hours while Dawnie went to the Gym, then when she got home I got to putting some new sliders on. More HMWP!!
: Bottom-View of New SK8s with sliders attached.
:
: New SK8s Version 2.0
:
: I had the slider plates on MUCH less time than it took to construct the sk8s, so I figured what the Hell. Hit the local park again. 6 hours later & almost 10 degrees cooler. ;)
:
: Here's me trying out the plates. I do a long FS stall in this clip as I'm looking over my shoulder watching a loose board. Once it was clear I dropped back in. I would NOT have been able to stall like that without the new slider plates, but they're still too high to slide on mini. I'm sure they'll work well on vert & near-vert though. :)

:
:
: Again the astute viewer will notice a couple things: I'm wearing one of my Dying Breed shirts in these clips AND there are now Groms at the park. Also, I have a weird sense of humor...i.e the stickers on my slider plates.
:
: My last clip o' the day, Kids. I promise. This is me just playing around & then talking to camera at end. Let me apologize in advance for some of the footage. My canera is NOT a video cam although you can take videos with it. However, you can NOT change the zoom while filming so when I talk to cam at end I'm over close-up. Sorry.
:
:
:
: That's it. I'm gonna take 'em to the vert ramp as I mention in last clip tomorrow or Thurs, & will try to get some clips if they slide/air etc on vert ramp. I think/hope they will.
: Thanks for bearing with my total lack of video-editing ablities yet again, Kids. Just had to share the new sk8s. They actually worked! Noone could be more surprised than I was! LOL!
: PEACE & LOVE from Sin City. home of the RollerCon SKatepark Tour!!!!!
: Jay.....
