Giant Size and Tank Shaped Skate

We know that skates have many types like slalom, aggressive, speed and many more. But do anyone saw this kind of skate before?? Big Khai Wen who attended the "comic fiesta" , took the photos of the cosplayer and personally talk to the cosplayer.

The cosplayer is cosplaying "Fat Buccha" from "Air Gear". Those who have watch this anime should know his size and shape of the skate. His skates are cover with boxes that is the shape of a tank.

Here are the only pictures Big Khai Wen get.

  He looks fierce...

Once in a Life Time SNS Putrajaya

No joke, this is one in a life time opportunity for skating!

Ever imagine all the best of the best slalomer from the world gather together, in Malaysia, to perform slalom?

Watch this video first if you don't know what is slalom.

(this is the demo by Swan in Seba team, at One Utama, day before SNS)

We just had the opportunity, thanks to Skateline.

During the Saturday Night Skates, it was raining, heavily. But our passion towards this SNS is so strong, and believe that we will find a dry place in Putrajaya to skate.

And thanks Skateline again who found a shaded and skateable tunnel.

Gearing up.

Do I mention that most of us from MMU wearing red shirts, with santa hat?

Here come the best of the night:

  

Slalomer from Germany, France, UK, Singapore, etc was there with us, performing slalom tricks, and is the first LIVE slalom demo we ever see in Malaysia with our own eyes.

They are Chloe, Greg, Terence, Swan, Rudy, Igor, Georgior, and Sebastian!!!!! All from SEBA team.

Terence was teaching us basic tricks. We received some tips from them, and it works~

MMU skaters with Sebastian, team manager of SEBA slalom team. (find the tallest guy with white shirt standing in middle without skate, and long long hair~)

Sue Ern getting autograph from Sebastian~

Signed by Seba! And also other slalomers!

It's a very nice experience, and don't think we will have second one in our life.

Skate rocks!

T-shirt

Do you guys think we need some packaging? Easier way is through a T-shirt~

There are several designs available here, thanks to Naz who design it.

New Fare~

We know that skating is cheap transport, who don't need petrol to power it, and we can skate everywhere we like, free.

This doesn't goes with car. Drivers who always fetch us to Putrajaya, to SNS in KL areas, their cars need petrol, need tolls charge, need maintenance etc.

So here is a new simple rule, to appreciate the driver's effort.

Effective immediately, for every skating event to Putrajaya Boulevard, skaters will be paying RM1 to drivers; while for SNS which not in Putrajaya (Titiwangsa, Lake Garden etc), skaters shall pay RM3 to drivers.

Thanks, we will hope one day, car can run without petrol, haha!

Skate on!

With effort, next skating will be more people, and faster.

Shall we try skate to Alamanda one day?

New Skater and Old Skater

Yesterday came a new skater, Kok Full, and an Old Skater, who MIA for the whole semester, CK. We almost forgot your face lo!

Hihi Kok Full~ (He has the fast learning ability like Big Khai Wen)

This is CK, lost and found after 1 semester. Unofficially, he owed all of us 24 cups of Chinese Tea Ice.

As some members are having exams and rushing assignment, so some didn't show up. But we still have a lot skaters there.

Beside normal skating and slalom, we tried sliding. It's cool!

 
Sara's parallel slide, very nice.(at least during shuttle moment, haha)

Hao Ming parallel slide, not bad too.

Here share an inline freestyle sliding clip from Korea, enjoy~

Yer~~ Why you throw ball at me?

Caution: please stay at home after 10pm, monster around.

tired la... I want food!

Final exam is coming soon, good luck!

SNS @ Desa Park~

8 persons of us (without Li Xuan, pity little sick girl, you miss a good skates~).

Meeting at Skateline Damansara, with some talking and chit chat. Hao Ming has his new wheels, his old wheels already flatted till the inner plastic. Sara has her brake pad removed, means another freestyle skater coming~

We found one interesting knowledge:

ABEC is a standard for bearing, the spinning device of a skate, higher the rating, less energy required to spin the same quantity of rounds. Most skates come with ABEC 3, 5 and 7. Impressive?

As usual, we reached our SNS destination, and start off our journey with lucky draws. Guess what?

All 3 lucky draws were won by MMU skaters! Yahoo!

Congratulation to Seaw Wei, V, and Hao Ming~

New wheels, fuyoh!

"Fast fast, we want skate!"

"I dodge!" Useless la, my camera faster.

Big Khai Wen

"Exhausted? Drink 100 Plus like me." - (100Plus is not our Skate Club sponsor)

"Come chase me~"

Sara - "I am hungry~" (she is fasting, sorry for her first meal of her day delayed)

Ballet? Don't know, it just look funny.

Dinner time (although most recognize as supper time)

Typical skaters bonnet.

MMU Skaters rocks~

wtf?

 
It's night before Mid Autumn Festival, can see a lot of families playing around in the park. Kids holding lanterns, parents chit chat, couples too. A very happening and nice place to skate.

The moon is almost full, and "theoretically" it will be very round tonight. Wish everyone a Happy and peaceful Mid Autumn Festival! (or Mooncake festival, whatever you call it)
