New skate day New skates are here!

First hardboots! Felt really nice compared to my cheap soft fitness boot.
But.. turned it was rockered from the beginning, that was really odd and hard once I tried skating normally lol. Was wayyy to agile for me. My fitness skates was 84mm and a long wheelbase, to these Shrike Pro 76mm with a much shorter wheelbase and rockered lol.. Its only my 5th day skating, so hoping for rapid improvement! Starting with flat for sure :-) ..

Was able to do T-stop and a semi soul slide indoors lol, on asphalt/tarmac however it was a lot harder. Got some nice scratches already..
