Like them or not Apple do make some beautiful products.

Y'know, the older I get the more I can relate to Apple and their ecosystem. When I was a teenager and in my twenties I despised Apple and all their evil practices (iTunes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) but in hindsight that was probably because I pirated more stuff than the entire coast of Somalia. Now I can appreciate the build quality and ability to walk in to any Apple store and go "hi fix pls" and they'd sort it there and then. If you want a product with as little hassle and faff as possible, you can't go wrong really.

If I'd have said this 10 years ago I'd be slapping myself.

I agree with this whole statement, although the whole apple eco system doesn't interest me (too expensive, mainly). If anyone in my family ask for advice on what tablet/laptop etc with no real budget. "Apple" is my go to answer normally. It works, and normally very well.

I have found Apple is my go to tech for 7 or 8 year now, I just prefer it for everything outside of games, for which I still have a ninja PC. I think Windows 10 is on the right track, but frankly Apple is where I feel most comfortable these days.

I was much the same, I didn't actually hate Apple but I had no interest in them whatsoever until I was persuaded by my boss at work to build a hackintosh and I decided I really liked the OS. It only took a few weeks until I bought my first Mac after that.

Nice, I still have my USD thrones somewhere - must be over 10 years old now! I remember wanting Remz at the time but they were way out of my budget.

What do you wear in them, some sort of skate shoe?

I still have USD thrones :D I stopped skating about 5 years ago as I broke my collar bone and both wrists. Woops

Xsjados come with a shoe that fits in but can be removed.

Whatever you like really, they work with trainers, shoes, boots. These are the small size so adjustable between shoe sizes 2-7.5 UK (large go between 8-13).

The design works surprisingly well, flexibility wise they feel like an ice/roller hockey skate, I plan to use them for commuting once the weather gets better.

And the best bit is the wheels light up when spinning :D

id say its a "cambofoto m225 tripod" from china?

Yup, thats the one. I don't really know much about the manufacturer, but i read some reviews on Amazon and they were all praising it. Its mainly aluminium and all seems very sturdy. Holds my camera with a big Nikon 105mm macro lens perfectly.

I think theres also a Slik tripod that is a similar size, but I read it had plastic joints for the legs which put me off.

These brands bring back massive memories :cool: Didnt realise there were so many skaters on here. I still have 3 pairs although had to stop for injuries. Got a pair of Valo TV 1s, Seba FR1s and a newer pair of USD Carbon 1s. Crazy to think how much skates used to weigh
