Leon Basin (Shop Task): Freeskating Edit by Danny Beer
I’ve been blading together with Leon Basin for quite some time, and he always has something fresh to offer.
Whether it’s a new idea, or bringing back the basics, Basin never fails to impress me. Here is a little something we’ve been working on, hope you like it.

There is some instability in freestyle skating style that I don’t like. I don’t know if it’s caused by the wheel size or the speed. Probably more the speed. I personally use a Slimline frame flat rockered which allow me to have 60 mm wheels on both ends. I think you can go a bit higher 62, 65 mm maybe but bigger you loose control.

Well, i started aggresive in-line skating when it – really – was AGRESSIVE IN-LINE SKATING, so this so-called freeskating is… strange for me. I’m not sayin’ that freeskating is a bad or shit something, but it’s not my world, that’s sure.

now thats how you use a powerblade setup! my favorite trick was the top acid to kinda stick on the wheels and 5 out. leon does not lack in vision or creativity. and beer makes it all look so nice. well done.

Leon is the fucking man. He is rollerblading. He runs the best shop, gives the most support and will out skate most people no matter what style or where. He has done the best hurricane topsouls, hand plants, gaps and creative shit that I have ever seen.
October 26th, 2012 at 7:03 pm
All of those tricks were even more impressive in person! TASK AROUND 2012
October 26th, 2012 at 7:24 pm
Haha of course it’s not cool! It’s rollerblading.
I love it! especially the jumps.. good stuff!

I’m actually interested in the idea of a frame that supports bigger size wheels but it would need some sort of area to allow grinds and the wheels would need to be flat…
it would prob make them very heavy but then you can go fast and big.
I think 65mm is the perfect size wheel if this ever happened.
