Do u customized ur sk8s or u just take it as it is..as for me i customized ma sk8s..so it looks cool n it sparks a power n confidence when i sk8..if we represent our rollerthopia to da best will it sparks an interest to da nu comer? Have anybody ever step up to u and ask anything pertaining Rollerblading..n it starts on from there..I remember stepping up n ask MR Highroller once n im still rolling now..

to custom or not to custom. good question. another good question is does it matter? does it really make u skate better? another question is are you making your skates look different cause YOU want it that way or you just wanna be different and make other people look at you.
i say do what you like. not what others think is right.
you dont wanna spark interest in the type of newcomers that wanna skate coz ur skates look cool. just makes one more wannabe to be left in our dust.

the reason why skateboarding thrive so well in Malaysia is because ther are so many poyos. i'm not saying ther are no good ones here, it's just he ration of good ones versus the poyos are so high. refering back to us. sometimes, we need newbies to start skating or just interest new people. i remember when i first starrted skating and if all of you saw me in a pair of skates, you will not think that i will still be skating now (keats and naz will understand)
my saying is that give everyone a chance. even if you know that they are doing it because it's cool cause you have actually nothing to lose. on top of that I know that they will be better than me in most ways....

call it insecurities or just plain ol itchy fingers - but i prefer customised.
shit - we've been waiting over 6-7 years for customisation to go beyond JUST a change of wheels and laces. its amazing that almost every damn thing can be changed on a skate. for me - its kinda like enjoying something ive waited so long for.
sides it must b irritating when u cant pick out your own STi's from a pile of similar skates on the floor.
disclaimer : of course - you should do whatever YOU want to do though. somehow - its just the KJ / subang / tmn tun guys that enjoy mixin up them skates....i guess we just got too much time on our hands, cus Faiz is still ROCKin on his classic throne setup. so no - havin a custom setup does not make u skate better.
