In need of parts. URGENTLY!!!

My skates have been with me for 2 years already. My soul7 still looks great despite been inflicted plenty of damage. However, the wheels ain't so tough. I have cracked about 4 of my wheels, and ended 3 more by lots of wear and tear.

My budget this few months is about 6 feet under, and cause of the recent fuel price hike, skate prices is now higher than it has ever been.

The last time I bought my wheels, 80mm, 82a is only rm160 for 8 pcs. Now its 200!!!. Ridiculous. How am I suppose to continue my activities like this? Really a pain in the a** but if its my passion, I got no choice.

My current math in skates:

new fuel price = old fuel price x 140%

new skate price/old skate price = new fuel price/old fuel price

new skate price = 1.4 times the price of old skates

proof:
new soul series skates cost->rm1.4k
my old soul 7->rm1k

I really hope oil price drop soon

my skates really going to break at any moment

Trick Pass

Wow, its been months since I last post anything. I was so busy in my studies + project during the weekdays and playing monster hunter every single weekend.

As well as my final year project, I will be also be doing another project. The project will be my legacy towards my experience skating in Inti, which will be Inti's first and very own Trick Pass.

A trick pass is mainly a blueprint of Inti, with all the places I skated, possible trick spots, shortcuts and training areas.

The Trick pass will have complete information:
- floor roughness
- recommended skate settings
- road tilt angle
- expert level
- wind set
- proper time
- sweet spots
- possible skills
- and more


The Trick pass is currently made for inline skaters only, specifically for recreational, hockey, aggressive and speed skaters only.

Skateboarders and other related players are more than welcome to participate and contribute towards the project.

With this, I hope it will be attract more skaters towards the future.
