Faction x Fiziks

Picked up a pair of all metal rocker arm Fiziks the other day and decided to swap them out with my Create Originals CRS frames.

I like both frames for the suspension aspect. Both completely different setups.

The Creates, with 60mm wheels are about 5mm taller than the Fiziks with 57mm wheels.

They both feel different, ride different and the fiziks have a much stiffer feel. You can feel the suspension in both frames, but I think I can feel it more in the Fiziks, mostly due to being broken in more.

Love both setups, but im gonna ride the Fiziks for a while.

Negatives and topsides only

I focused entirely on negatives and topsides for this past session. This is the extent of my abilities in those 2 areas. I was not able to land a Kind grind or a Sweat Stance. Something about an angle iron ledge messes with my head to make it difficult to land those

Negative Soul

Practiced hard on negatives and topsides today. First time attempting negative soul. It's pretty difficult on angle iron and I got this barely tap neg soul.

I'm gonna keep at it. Now that I know its possible for me to do, I think I'll be able to get better at it and Negative Acid. It's all about bringing that negative knee in over the ledge

Negative P-Star Tutorial

My first trick tutorial video! I'm not a great skater, by any means, but this is my favorite trick and I want to inspire more people to add this to their trick vocabulary.

Let me know what you think and how did I do

New curve grind unlocked!

I was finally able to unlock mistrial on the curved ledge I've been skating! It was so satisfying. Also, my second attempt during this session. These Factions are so great. I highly recommend them!

Amazing skates!

Had my first session on the Jimmy Cisz Factions today.

I gotta say, these skates are amazing. Idk what took me so long to try factions, but they are very much an old school skate feel.

When they lock on, they really lock on. So much fun today

Faction Jimmy Cisz V1

These are too clean! I can't wait to skate these, but i don't want to mess them up!

Maybe some of Jimmy's negative skills will rub off on me lol 😆

Got my CRS frames setup with the Gawds FM5 wheels 60/90

Help with negatives

Aloha y'all!

​

For those out there that are good at negatives, I need tips and advice.

​

How do I approach trying new negative tricks?

What are some tips for maintaining longer grinds on angle iron ledges (it's what I have to work with most)?

​

I can land a pretty solid neg p star. I can sometimes tap a neg acid and I am currently working on getting better at my neg mistrial.

I neg with either foot depending on the type of grind.

​

Mahalo in advance for any tips, much appreciated

​

Aloha! 🤙🏼

Finally after 2 weeks!

Finally got to skate my new setup with the cuff pushed back a little bit more. Felt more like an og 2.0 than a new Shadow.

Love the way these look too!

Trying to branch out and skate some other areas than the one ledge that I get stuck to.

Thanks to everyone's clips and videos for inspiration and motivation.
