Nike SB Charge Shoe Review

I have been searching for the best skate shoe and recently purchased a pair of Nike SB Charge to try out. Here is my review after skating a lot of transition and street.

The toe of the shoe held up surprisingly well to my knee slides. I expected the toe to wear out fast since there is not a rubber “toe cap” compared to other skate shoes. I have been also skating a lot of street doing ollie and kickflip tricks. The sides “ollie patch” held up really well and didn’t wear through. Usually the front foot side wears out much faster compared to other skate shoes.

The lace position is higher up on the shoe protecting the laces from breaking when doing knee slides. I usually break laces each session wearing other skate shoes.

The Nike SB Charge is a very comfortable shoe. I think the shoe has one of the best padded inserts for skating. They provide more cushion on the toe and heal than other skate shoes I have tried. Also, the shoe is light and allows for good board feel.

Overall I really like the Nike SB Charge and plan on making this shoe my primary skate shoe. I highly recommend this shoe if you are looking for an all around skate shoe. Check out my video review of the Nike SB Charge.

I appreciate your comments if you have experience with the Nike SB Charge.

Setting Up My New Skateboard & Skate Session

I love setting up my own skateboards rather than having the shop assemble for me. It’s really easy to do yourself and I think it makes the board more personable.

The board I am setting up is a Proper Gnar deck with Ace Trucks, Lizzie Armanto Bones Wheels, and Bones Reds bearings. Here is a video of me putting together my new setup and taking a few runs on my mini ramp.

I hope you guys enjoy the video! I had a lot of fun making it.

Thank You 😊 -Elle

Street Skating Tour Of My City

Today I took a street skating tour of my city – Salt Lake City, Utah . My tour starts at the State Capital and winds downhill through Temple Square, City Creek Mall, the financial center, and the art district. Along the way I hit stair sets, grind curbs, and cruise the sidewalks. A quick ride on the UTA Light Rail brings me back up to the top of the city for another run.

I hope you enjoy my video tour. Please comment, like and subscribe.

Thank you,

Do Skater Trainers Help?

I have been wanting to get my ollies higher and work on my kickflips. I have heard others have had success with Skater Trainers so I decided to give them a try! In this video I tried out the Skater Trainers and told you what I thought about them. If you want to learn how to ollie or learn how to kickflip you might want to check this out!

Skating The Moose Ramp

Bryan Pennington and his family have invited us up to their ramp, “The Moose Ramp” The drive up is so beautiful I don’t have any words for it. And Bryan did so many repairs on the ramp so we could ride it. The ramp was challenging to ride but not impossible. Another thing that was so awesome was they had made a zip line my brother William and I loved it!! I would love to have one of those in my backyard. We all hope we get to come back again thank you Bryan!

All Girl Skate Jam

Last weekend I hosted an all girl get together and skate jam at Salt Lake City’s 9th & 9th skatepark. .There was a great turnout of both experienced and beginner skaters. The local female skate community is definitely growing so it was a good opportunity to get acquainted and make new friends..The skaters took over the park for 4 hours offering encouragement and support to each other throughout the session..The Ladies Jam was a timed 45 minute “expression session” with everyone ripping the park together. Awards went to Penelope, Lenna, Berrit, Cassidy, Devin, Izzy, Vail, and Audrey..There was a raffle and everyone seemed to be a winner. We had pizza, ice cream cake, and refreshments..I am looking forward to meeting up again. Thank you all for coming out!
