Here is a first look at the Vicious liner that will come in the NIMH Shima skate.
The Shima boot only is the maiden skate from the NIMH brand that Jon Elliott and Brian Shima have recently founded. I was down in San Diego visiting Jon and Brian last night, and I was able to take a quick pic with my cellphone.
Thanks Matt M.

when are these coming out??? i need some info
September 7th, 2007 at 11:23 pm
damn those are hawt
September 7th, 2007 at 11:24 pm
okay so this means….DO NOT SPEND YOUR MONEY….nimh skates are your next investigation…like it
errr one question…how to stress the word “nimh”?
September 7th, 2007 at 11:37 pm
So baller.
Not into the gold.
Definitely looks like a good skate.
Love the soul frame.
Toe idea is perfect, that’s always the first thing I do to a new pair of TRS skates.
I’ll probably buy these.
September 7th, 2007 at 11:53 pm
if i had to describe the perfect skate, i think this would be it.
CONGRATS SHIMA AND ELLIOT, just this picture is enough for me, im buying some.
September 7th, 2007 at 11:59 pm
looks like deshi/RB sick
September 8th, 2007 at 12:00 am
Oh my.
Those are hot.
they’ve overdone themselves so much.
i liikeeeeeee
September 8th, 2007 at 12:06 am
OMG they suck vic. makes bearings not liners, they shouldn’t try. As far as the toe thing, get big Js you know the toe needs to be strong. Also what is up with this grove your own soul plate, I don’t think that it will actually work.
September 8th, 2007 at 12:17 am
REspect to Shima and Elliot, but I repeat the soulplate has the same concept as the new deshi soulplate. The groove, the toe, the back, it’s mainly the same. Also I don’t like the skin design, but I think it can be a great skate.
September 8th, 2007 at 12:44 am
haha WHO is a fucking n00b
they look good, as long as they’re around the weight of m12’s i might get some in the future.
they look quite like valos, looks kina like theres a removeable skin?
September 8th, 2007 at 12:45 am
haha!!
i like this new deshi skate.
September 8th, 2007 at 12:49 am
sik skates its a good thing that they are bringing out new skates and its about time all the other ones are all the same and nothing changing BRING MORE SKATES OUT!!!!!
peace…
September 8th, 2007 at 12:52 am
whether or not you think they “copied” deshi’s design on the soul.
the difference is that EVERYTHING is skater owned.
this should be supported to no end so we can turn rollerblading around and make it better than it ever was. i trust shima and elliot
September 8th, 2007 at 1:01 am
“The NIMH soulplate is designed to adapt to your personal skating style. Most skate companies lock you into a preset groove, NIMH does not. We advise skating a midly waxed ledge for 1 to 3 hours(!!!!!!!!!!) to create your own custom groove”. Sounds crazy!!! BEST SKATES FOR PEOPLE, WHO ONLY START SKATING! hahaha))))
September 8th, 2007 at 1:01 am
wtf is nimh? is it like “NIM” or do i have to say N. I. M. H.
i strongly advise them to think of something better.
September 8th, 2007 at 1:28 am
Wait, wait, so you’re telling me that SHima and Elliot came out with a brand new fucking skate in like no time, but shitty as Razors can’t even come out with a new boot design in a timely manner? I mean how old is the damn genesys, and how long have they been talking about some new skate. This is what i’m talking about, hell yeah Shima do your thing.
September 8th, 2007 at 1:32 am
the boot makes me want to vomit.. I HATE the way the boot looks.. but the Vicious Liners look oh so niiiiicccee but knowing how companies work hopefully some pro that they get on they team will design a better looking boot. But other than that I think its nice!
September 8th, 2007 at 2:01 am
yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesssss!!!!!!!!!aaarRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR NEW SKATES BRABRABRABBRABRABRBARBABRABRBARBABRABRBARBARBAPAAPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
September 8th, 2007 at 2:01 am
i wonder how good it’ll be. theyre ugly though. remind me of doc martins. lol.
September 8th, 2007 at 2:11 am
I seriously think that this is one of the best things that has happened to rollerblading. And i am willing to invest in this company and pick up a pair as soon as i can i seriously think that these skates look great and i am sure that they will skate great too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
September 8th, 2007 at 2:31 am
looks like they took a page out of valo’s book. i wouldnt be suprised if there was a cult shell under that skin, lol. overall, its ugly… hire me and i’ll design better skins and liners. my liners would be lined with mink or faux fur and some fresh gator skins (or snake skins, depending on how hard you pimp.)
September 8th, 2007 at 2:35 am
nice skates…… but i dont like the soulplates
September 8th, 2007 at 2:47 am
lush. i want some.
September 8th, 2007 at 3:05 am
okay the boot comes out this christmas it’ll be the Shima skate. I know you probably don’t believe me still but i’ve been correct on everything I’ve said from 50/50 to this. The skate will be completely sick and it’s gonna fit people who have thick or wide feet. so cop some when they come out. tell your mama, your daddy your granny and every skateboarder to get some. Tell your skate shops and the Tree killer shops to pre-order them. Oh Jon and Shima all media is great media. the leaked press is something that’s gonna happen. look at 50 cent. if people have nothing but great things to say then don’t worry if this isn’t the final product, it can only go up from here. :)
September 8th, 2007 at 3:10 am
by the way. Jon you know who I am I still wanna buy some before they release. I’ll rep the hell out of them at every park in LA.
Anewera…. Gator skins /mink/Faux fur/snake skin isn’t cool. it’s ugly. the soulplates are revolutionary and the ride is great from what I know. This is the skate you should be thinking about buying.
By the way if you look back to my Aragon Boot Blog I talked about Razor not being innovative anymore. Nimh is new. Nimh is hot. Nimh is the future of Rolling. Pass it along. :)
September 8th, 2007 at 3:11 am
Plz don’t be another genesy boot under the skin… and if it is another genesy boot, plz have the added material to the shoelace system as they were in the razor team skates… that little change highly made a difference to how much easier it was to bend on topside tricks. Must I mention they were so much more comfortable… yet, i didn’t like how the size 10 razor teams were a bigger boot(gross) than the razor genesy size 10 system. Either way, may this company prosper!
September 8th, 2007 at 3:21 am
Coolskates… These aren’t superwide skates. Xsjado are superwide skates, Genesis is a super wide skate. They aren’t USD’s but they aren’t Xsjado either. They’re in between. I have wide feet. I can’t fit into USD’s but i can fit into Deshi’s and razor. I can also fit into these. Most skates come with a backslide groove that doesn’t fit your skating style, these do. so why the haterade. They will kill every skate in the market from here on. Long live Nimh (even though I can’t say it properly).
September 8th, 2007 at 3:38 am
dems is hot azz shit
September 8th, 2007 at 3:56 am
One thing is need to to be said, Getting them! Loving them support all the way and sure to see more skates from these 2 legends:))
September 8th, 2007 at 4:02 am
These look solid. I’m surprised NIMH chose this backslide concept because a lot of people complained about RB’s “create your own” backslide plate. You can see RB changed backslide plates on the new skates, too. Hopefully NIMH knows something RB doesn’t.
September 8th, 2007 at 4:07 am
BREAKING NEWS, BREAKING NEWS!!! I just found out from the man himself Jon Elliott, that this is not the actual skate we will all be buying. This is a photo of a sample boot for them to shop around to the different skate shops and online sites. In 3 weeks, that’s right, in 3 weeks we will be seeing a real image of what the skate will really look like. It looks even better than what was leaked out. Plus ONE magazine will have a super sick interview with Brian Shima. So be sure to check that out.
PEACE……..
September 8th, 2007 at 4:46 am
these skates look like wat all the fag skaters with tight ass pants would be skating…………..ASSHOLES.
September 8th, 2007 at 4:59 am
I’m sure Shima and Elliot are reading all these comments and if they read this then PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make a size 10.5 fit like a US shoe 10.5 or a size 7 fit like a US size 7. Just make the skate size the same as our shoe sizes. Lots of kids starting up who buy skates online can get confused about all this needless “This skate fits 1 in a half sizes big or, order a size to 2 sizes down. I don’t understand why I need to order a size 11 skate in some brands and a 10 in others, I’m 10.5 so keep it simple guys, If you make them true to size it will sound so good in an interview to say “Just order whatever shoe size you are and the skate will fit perfectly” True to size, true to size.
And at least 4 shell sizes please I cant stand it when a skate has, as an example, 8 US liners in a shell thats 9 or even 10!!! What’s all that wasted room doing? Its creating extra weight and making the skate look bigger than it actually fits on your feet.
September 8th, 2007 at 5:07 am
looks like a fancy valo/ roces skate……..but don’t they all…makes me wonder…whatever, it’s cool i guess. nothing great. Like Dominic Sagona says, for all you boot wearing motherfuckers, still sport UsD’s! Eric Greenaway from upstate NY
September 8th, 2007 at 5:10 am
First off, all you people complaining and bashing it, as many have said before, you make things worse. It’s not a copy of anything, so don’t call it one. Stop picking out the minor things and blowing them out of proportion, just state you don’t like them and thats that, no need for further discussion.
Now that that’s through, Sick skates… Shima and Elliot deserve tons of support its a great job and I’m sure they will bring the sport bigger and keep sick work up. Kudos.
September 8th, 2007 at 6:27 am
i agree they look like valo but not a copy. i like them. i can only bitch about the name being weird but then again look at xsjado lol. definatley gona try these.
September 8th, 2007 at 6:32 am
damn dem shitz is ugly as hell… rammele knight is stiff!! lol
September 8th, 2007 at 6:56 am
cool, i like the idea of it being skater owned and that theres a new company out and abouts with some of the top skaters.
one thing though did you get the name from a rechargeable battery?? Nickel metal hydride battery? i dunno but wikipedia that shit and you’ll know what i’m talkin’ bout
anyway, props to yall and our growing industry
roller4life
September 8th, 2007 at 6:56 am
This skate will flop terribly because of the soulplate. Hey Shima, you should give people an option to skate with either a custom groove soulplate or a preset one. Do what Deshi did and send the boot to retailers and the soul plates separate.
September 8th, 2007 at 7:22 am
Some of you guys that post on here sound so stupid. Why do you guys bash our sport. You should all be supporting it and keep trying to grow our industry. Don’t be like those skateboards that hate on rollerblading. NIMH is creating a skate for all of us. They love the sport and they are giving back.
September 8th, 2007 at 7:56 am
I think they got the name nimh from the animated movie “The Secret of N.I.M.H.”. Think about it. The Secret of NIMH was about rats. Rat Tail distributes the nimh skate. Pretty clever, eh?
September 8th, 2007 at 7:58 am
why are all of you hating, you should be glad that the first entirely skater made skate company is out. whether u like it or not this is a big movement, hating this is hating rollerblading
September 8th, 2007 at 9:28 am
Awesome skate, look very confortable!!! i hope i can take there in Spain.
Shima&Elliot thx very much!!
i belived.
September 8th, 2007 at 10:26 am
You know I’ll say this I find it very ignorant for people like Bob who don’t know the first thing about design or what it takes to make a company run smoothly. I’ve been skating for 14 years and I’ve seen companies come, and companies go. I’ve seen friends Die and some just can’t do it anymore. The one thing I thought I’d never see is when we start acting like Skateboarders. We bad mouth each other and not wait to see what might become the greatest thng in our industry. Jon gave you three great skates, brought you 4×4, vicious, ground control and more. Brian gave you 10 pro boots including the Nimh boot. Showed a generation of skaters the idea of style and how to layeth the hammer down. They both have more knowledge in their turds than the collective masses of you do when it comes to skating and what sells and what works. So try to be respectful when you talk. Remeber this isn’t just their community, it’s ours as well. Nimh skates marks the first time a company has ever been truly skater owned. Don’t player hate, congradulate. We are so above this whole company bashing when it comes to looks and style. I can understand performance but you’re not bashing that. Own a part of your community, of your industry. Become a part of Nimh. Show your support. We are all about breaking barriers, lets break another one and be united when we say We are Nimh, We are the future of Rolling.
September 8th, 2007 at 10:34 am
Also Show some pride. Brian Shima is the only Blader who’s name appears in wikipedia. he is that famous and that important for a reason. If he and Jon are in this then it can only be for the embetterment of our lifestyle and sport.
September 8th, 2007 at 10:45 am
Looks like I’m about to roll something other than USD, I am liking very very VERY much. They sort of remind me like… Deshi/TRS/Realm in one with the souls, boot and cuff style. Worth a look and I really do like.
September 8th, 2007 at 11:01 am
look like a chepa boot u would buy from tesco.. not into these at all!!! they look like shit!
September 8th, 2007 at 11:10 am
I like the idea about “make your groove”. sounds good, I hope it works.
So let’s brian shima make some test for us.
September 8th, 2007 at 12:07 pm
looks like usd grycons mixed with deshis
September 8th, 2007 at 12:14 pm
disgusting… not really nice.. but every company need experience to find his style
September 8th, 2007 at 12:19 pm
I’m really worried about the ‘create-your-groove’ feature. Many things can go wrong with that. What if you don’t have wax? What if you’re not that experienced yet? What if you’re stupid? I could go on about the factors that could get this skate bad reviews. You’ll just end up creating a big crack in the soul plate instead of your own personalized groove. You shouldn’t override criticism with stupid reasons like “But.. but teh Nimh is skater-owned’. This is just an easy problem. Kinda like Microsoft with the overheating problems of the xbox 360. Just create 2 soulplates- a grooveless soulplate and and a pre-made soulplate and ship them separately with the nimh boot. Leave it to the retailers to add a soulplate option in their websites. So Rat Tail, do what I say and don’t end up like Microsoft.
As for the rest of the boot, I’m digging it. I like how rollerblade boots are beginning to look more and more like shoes. No doubt those Vicious liners will be comfortable. Shima said that the Nimh can be laced all the way to the cuff but I can’t quite see it in the pics. Nevertheless that feature will bring more benefits in terms of flex adjustment. Just work out the soulplates, make it true to size, and give it a price tag not bigger than $240 and this thing will sell like crack.
September 8th, 2007 at 12:23 pm
Like the soulplate idea.
Also that it is own by skaters.
Not to my taste the look of the skate.
Im glad more skate options coming;) great +.
Hey why don’t ye make the soulplate like universal or something.
Lol.
September 8th, 2007 at 1:15 pm
when i saw the name, i remembered that N.I.M.H.=the National Istitute of Mental Health.
but i think it’s in reference tothat one children’s book/movie.
September 8th, 2007 at 1:23 pm
i would like to have a cult with the vicious liner but this skate ist kinde ugly.
between rb and deshi and dunno nothing new. and i am shocked that elliot and shima designed that skate because its uarg. and doesnt look so hawt.
September 8th, 2007 at 2:01 pm
omfg I know…..I always know
September 8th, 2007 at 3:18 pm
it is cool that shima an elliot made a new boot. I felt like we needed a new one. The skate looks really good actually. I mean it is just a picture and I dont know what it looks like in person. Hopefully Shima and Elliot didn’t just make the skins and put them on some razor hard shell. I would skate these for sure. I am really diggin those liners too. I want to try those skates so bad!!!!! Congratulations to Shima to acquiring one of his things to do before he dies, 1 down 4 more to go.
September 8th, 2007 at 4:40 pm
I liked them, definetly my next skate but I just think that they should be V-cut ;p
September 8th, 2007 at 4:52 pm
Im backing this company up 100% all the way,
How much more do you need?
this is a new step for rollerblading
September 8th, 2007 at 4:58 pm
Once again this boot image of the NIMH skate was leaked out. In 3 weeks we will all be able to see what the boot will really look like.
This skate is gonna be awesome. Our industry needs some new blood. RB, K2, Razors, etc. they keep producing the same shit year after year. Its all about thinking outside the box and creating something new. With Jon and Brian behind NIMH I’m sure this skate is gonna perform. I’ve been skating for 17 years and back when I first started we had RB, Roces, etc. we had NO grinding groove. We had to create our own. I think thats a good feature.
September 8th, 2007 at 5:14 pm
Well, progidy, you don’t seem too prodigous to me…
September 8th, 2007 at 5:15 pm
these skates look fucking dope, i know they’d look amazing on/in person.
September 8th, 2007 at 5:17 pm
Does it come in White?
September 8th, 2007 at 6:35 pm
happens Says:
September 8th, 2007 at 5:14 pm
Well, progidy, you don’t seem too prodigous to me…
Based on my name Prodigy, you have no clue who I am, but I too may have something brewing up for the skating industry……..
September 8th, 2007 at 6:55 pm
sick
love it
September 8th, 2007 at 7:41 pm
good skates !!!
i want to skate on this shit!!what about white??
September 8th, 2007 at 8:31 pm
Hey Happens. I actually know Prodigy. I know more about skates and skating than you could ever. I also know that in every community there are gonna be some snots like you that can’t skate so they bash. Do me a favor, Please. Isolate that genome aspect of your brain that causes you to say stupid shit, you should keep it to yourself and starve it so that you at least sound like a blader.
September 8th, 2007 at 8:51 pm
Someone up above got the origin of the name right on the money. Jon’s dog is also named Nimh. Secret of NIMH is an pretty awesome animated movie… rent it if you can.
September 8th, 2007 at 9:00 pm
More Garbage from the Rollerblading “Industry” as usual…
September 8th, 2007 at 10:46 pm
Nick b. Who in the Hell are you? what’s your name Nick Boarder? More garbage!! more garbage was salomon quiting, or Rollerblade not paying their riders. I know everyone over at Nimh, and that is a company with fine quality and heart. Something skateboarders know nothing about Nick Boarder. You should be happy that there’s another company out ther besides Jugs and Sifika now that makes Liners. You should be thrilled that a new company FINALLY…. Has Come Back into the Rolling industry. When was the last time you put up your hard earned money to do something that could change the lives of people you’ll never meet. That’s what these companies tht are run by skaters do. Odds are they’ll pay better, produce a higher quality product that we can feel proud of. Support your lifestyle don’t be in the closet with it, Nick B.
September 8th, 2007 at 11:04 pm
stoked to see this company, skater owned
but I honesty think the skates are pretty ugly. I’m sure they are going to make a killing in sales simply because of who owns the company, I’m exited to see what they release in the future
September 8th, 2007 at 11:40 pm
ya pas des glands qui pourraient faire l’effort de parler francais a part moi?!
l’anglais a 1heure du mat sa passe pas
September 9th, 2007 at 12:15 am
When did that USD ad come out where they had that ridiculous team? Arlo, Latimer, Petty, Champion, and Julio. Yeah that flipped the industry upside down… That’s why they are called USD.
I imagine this NIMH skate doing exactly the same thing. I think it’s fucking exciting. Other companies are going to have to step it up because all the attention is going to be on NIMH for the next while.
September 9th, 2007 at 2:56 am
so from the pdf details it sounds like it is a TRS with new soles and skins. I wonder if Nordica inc pours the molds for them. I would like to see pics of them completely taken apart so that we can compare them to existing skates, but that will not happen esp if they are reworked TRS.
September 9th, 2007 at 3:28 am
After looking at the buckle, does any one else think that might be a Salomon boot under there?…..Just a thought….And I do like the way it looks, A LOT.
September 9th, 2007 at 5:03 am
just think about this: every dollar you spend on this skate goes into the hands of rollerbladers (well, assuming you buy from a skater-owned shop), not some random businessman or faceless corporation. and not just any rollerbladers- Jon Elliott and Brian Shima, two of the most important rollerbladers to ever boot up.
this is not a skinned salomon or TRS shell, like a few people have said.
September 9th, 2007 at 5:05 am
holy shit! they are gorgeous!! i’m really feeling them if they are slim looking i’m def coping a pair.
September 9th, 2007 at 5:07 am
O_O god damn, i’m having a very prolongued orgasm over this shit! so fucking hotttt!
September 9th, 2007 at 5:13 am
that liner looks exactly like the razors team liner, with the velcro tongue thingy. i kinda like them, although i would want to see how the look on somebodys feet
September 9th, 2007 at 7:37 am
You best believe that Pat Lennen is going to be on that team.
The xsjado’s had a lot of buzz around them before they came out because of such a radical design(they are the best skates available right now). Now that xjsado’s are picking up in popularity. You can’t get any fucking parts, skeletons, or footwraps. They also don’t have Shima and Elliot backing them…and you can’t forget about Jan!(Quatro anyone?).
I think these NIMH skates are coming out a perfect time in rollerblading’s history. I
September 9th, 2007 at 9:12 am
sik, looks like a mix of deshi/razors, props to brian and jon, so much respect
September 9th, 2007 at 11:14 am
they look ok, but one thing is strange, where’s the cuff?? ;/ another usd realm?
September 9th, 2007 at 12:23 pm
it looks like alpha trs in black
September 9th, 2007 at 2:48 pm
the skin is similar to the valo
i hope they havent done what valo did, putting a skin over m12s and selling them off as a new skate
but this way, it’s a razors boot with a skin on it.
September 9th, 2007 at 4:13 pm
whos gonna ride for the team?? give some names for a possible team…pro and am
September 9th, 2007 at 4:20 pm
the buckle is for sure from the salomon skates, so what the hell is under that skin ?;/
September 9th, 2007 at 5:54 pm
got my vote
September 9th, 2007 at 6:22 pm
Only one company had that kind of buckle, why? becouse they probably buy a patent for those buckles, so those one are probably the salomon skates with a cuff from valo/razors and new soul plate ;]
September 9th, 2007 at 8:18 pm
fuck all you guys who say theyre ugly… I dont like these but i will never say theyre ugly. because some people had to make them and that deserves respect
September 9th, 2007 at 8:45 pm
love it…my next skates,wanna try it…interesed about liner so much
September 9th, 2007 at 9:40 pm
in my opinion dese look real bad im dissapointed ive skated nothing but shimas den he leaves razors and makes dese whateva dey are:(
September 9th, 2007 at 9:59 pm
looks just like trs skine an the soul looks like poo good luck
September 9th, 2007 at 10:04 pm
A premiere vue rien de bien novateur !!
September 9th, 2007 at 10:46 pm
le prix?
September 10th, 2007 at 6:46 am
Good luck… making money off of those things, they are disgusting i’m sorry… but played out shell concept… played out soul plates… and liners that will suck because they are the first of the production line.
-Don’t get me wrong I’d love to see this company do well because of what Jon and Shima have done for the industry, both of their brain fear gone sections made me start skating.
-But common guys stop drinking your money away and start putting into design research, from guys as classic as you, I’d expect some more class from your production.
September 10th, 2007 at 7:27 am
98 comments… fuck there are lot of pc geeks in our industry huh?
September 10th, 2007 at 7:28 am
Yo CB$, you are a piece of shit. Jon and Brian put a lot of hard work into producing this boot for everyone and all your doing is putting them and the company down. Look at every other skate company on the market, RB, K2, Solomon, Remz, Razors, Roces, USD, they’ve all produced the same skate for YEARS. The only thing that changed in skate design is Xsjado. Plus Jon and Brian made Razors who they are today!!! Also they own Rat Tail, 4×4, and Vicious. Those are top companies in our industry and they are the most respected. Their AM / PRO team is AMAZING. No one has a better team than them. Everyone needs to try the skate before they start talking shit. Support rollerblading don’t hate on it. You are the type of people that give us a bad name.
September 10th, 2007 at 10:52 am
National Institute of Mental Health?
September 10th, 2007 at 11:44 am
man these are sick,, much respect to brian for putting his ass on the line to bring a whole new brand to the industry.. its what we need. since i started skating the sport has declined so much (for a while i thought skating was a lost cause because x – games etc has completely disowned our sport leaving us in the dark. now that we have a new source of skates (and possibly a fresh start when it comes to production) why dont people like ‘CB$’ just quit because peple like you are doing us no favours!!
again loving the nimh idea!!! props to jon and brian
September 10th, 2007 at 6:04 pm
I agree. There’s a problem within our community. We have people that hate on and people that don’t but the thing is if it’s to further grow the industry. Stop hating and start participating. Prodigy and Rizzo are right and people should jump on the band wagon since they’re good people and produce the best products out.
September 11th, 2007 at 2:07 pm
they look like the razors tribe (if u remember)
September 11th, 2007 at 10:35 pm
c’est moche…

What’s up with all the guys with sticks up their asses? A lot of you guys are jumping to some conclusions here. First of all, considering these are the first pictures released by nimh, I feel that this is a great design. Did you guys see how remz looked when they first came out? They weren’t very nice looking. Anyway, a lot of us need to start appreciating the fact that some people (like elliot and shima) have the fearlessness to drive this industry. If you all want is to whine and cry like girls, go make something better (and then see how it feels when your shit is torn apart by a group of lazy, ignorant assholes. Creative criticism is one thing (considering that you have actually TRIED the friggen things) but whining like little bitches is getting us nowhere.
On a more positive note, I think this is great! Skater owned and new ideas! Awesome! I can’t wait to give them a try.

get your dldos out of your asses and start supporting, dont just look and say ew like said above bunch of fashion queens or what ever you are, look at these siick skates from another angle and appreciate the effort made by Shima and Elliot and its people like these 2 legends who are passionate about what they do and want progression, to add onto that i just saw a profile on PARK our a new emerging sport like many of you may have seen where people do some crazy jumps and moves from gaps from one apartment to another and useing any obsticle.. anyway the point being thats where we need to get ,on TV , for recognition and respect for what we are now and just to be able to see our sport on TV like we do with wake boarding,surfing,Kite Surfing,skateboarding,BMX…

one word: stoked!
don’t say to me”aww u said one word” coz i have mroe to say. stoked is my way of saying it all in one word. first of all,player haters, the create your own groove will be perfect. it will mean that u can easily get your royales at the start and it will always feel natural. also it will take much longer to wear down to the boot.
im loving the slick, 100% black stiched leather look. also the ability to lace the cuffs will make things easier when wearing for a while as i find that buckles can rub, so you should be able to skate just as tight buckleless. the only problem isthat you will probably have to use remz laces to reach it and they get messed up easy.shame i bought new remz
