FP footwear Alpha gel shoes

Ive been skating the Intertek model, I've got to say these are my favorite FP shoes yet. I was skating the decenzo dgs3 shoes which are great but I'm glad FP finally released more shoes. The flick is great, the gel material on the uppers is wearing down slower than the actual rubber outsole which is crazy and it is true that the laces don't rip. I recommend everyone try these.

Skating sometimes feels like flying

Just my opinion. When I was young, I thought I was going to be a fighter jet pilot… never did that… but this feels close enough lol 😆

Is this a proper Ollie? Day 1 of learning skating

Really not trying to flex on surprised that I watched one tutorial on YouTube as a 32 year old and then pulling off an ollie 30 minutes later.

Backstory is that I used to skate 15 years ago but I was only able to drive no Ollie no tricks.
