| In 2005 when we moved back to NZ again I thought I was possibly the only inline skater in NZ for a long time. I still went to the skatepark pretty regularly, but really didn't improve my trick vocabulary much. It's not very motivating always being by yourself. Here's a little edit I made in 2010: | In 2005 when we moved back to NZ again I thought I was possibly the only inline skater in NZ for a long time.

| Over time my wheels wore down to the core and I bought some new wheels online, also marking my switch to antirocker. At some point I also modified my skates by screwing a little piece of plastic from the bottom of a walking frame onto the heel area of the soul, which before that was just the stock boot. | Over time my wheels wore down to the core and I bought some new wheels online, also marking my switch to antirocker.

| In [[http://mushroomblading.com/podcasts.php?id=137|How to Be Unpopular #138]] there is a conversation about how people past the initial boom got into skating. A number of "sick edits" were mentioned which would have drawn in the new generation. Well, for me it was just a library book! It makes me wonder how many others like me learnt to skate completely outside "the culture". | In [[http://mushroomblading.com/podcasts.php?id=137|How to Be Unpopular #138]] there is a conversation about how people past the initial boom got into skating.
