Kraft is a good example of an “artist” in rollerblading

As a skateboarder this is all Chinese to me but, holy shit is this guy fun to watch skate.
I don't skate but love this series. Kraft's skating style is one of my favorite out of the group!

The mushroom, chroma yandis and 5050 58’s are all face profile. Love these segments.
The wizard of the group and now contemplating TNEC frames ...thanks Kraft 😂

The only wizard of the group, haha. I bought some, they're pretty good!
Yes! Always a pleasure skating with Michael. "Just because you can design something grandiose doesn't mean you should." Nailed it.
I appreciate that Michael values good aesthetics. It shows, cause that setup and fit was sick.

I love these set up videos and I love micheal kraft!
MK always bringing the heat. Keep up the amazing hard work guys.
Great videography, and the content was excellent 🙌🏻 awesome idea for some BTS and get to know the Jumbo crew. Great skater with a unique style, but was awesome, to get his perspective on setups. 🔥🔥 Thanks as always for great content.

Thank you too!! I love doing these more than I like filming the street sessions, but I know they're a little more... niche.
Really liked this episode
my fav thing, is how michael's fit matches the skate xD

Love your setup Krafty ❤
In 2008 I bought a box of face brand wheels for $80. I got 288 wheels that were 60mm, 85a(said it right on the side of the box)…. The box was also labeled with the name “Tom Hyser” leading me to believe that they were his unproduced pro wheel which Tom has confirmed over the years. There might have been other durometer’s out there though, but they probably feel slippery at times because of the profile.

This was awesome! Michael is a super interesting person and it was great getting this one on one experience. It's a different vibe than regular jumbo sessions but I love it!

Thank you! That was the goal for sure, not just do the same thing over and over again. We've done a few others as well
Love love love, Mr Kraft has that pizzazz. Thanks for making this video, love this series!

"pizzazz" is a great description haha
Just got a post of these last week! Haven’t done anything to them yet but they do feel solid. Went from a Large to a Medium. I’m a 285 mondo and I like the medium shell a little better.
Great breakdown! I just ordered a pair myself and this video helped me pull the trigger!

So many, hilarious, ridiculous stories. I cut a few of them out, just because we go off track. Kraft is podcast material
Cool guy.💪💪💪
It's fun meeting the people on the skates very cool!
What insole thickness does he use with the dead shock absorber, stock insole? And damn, I wanted to hear the "Whole separate convo" about long rockered frames.
@jumboblading

Man I didn't even think to ask about the insole. Those make a big difference too, if you have the right one... I'll keep that noted for the future
I like it
Love this! Stoked to break in my new MK frames!
This is a great skate video

Love this guys skating , I would love to pick this guys brain, seems very intelligent ❤️
Most of us are painting by numbers and Michael is out there just…the street is a canvas. Thanks for the breakdown Mime and thanks Cody for documenting the crew and giving all us a peek into your scene. Next up…. Your setup perhaps?

I definitely feel like I skate like a caveman whenever I hang out with Michael. As for my setup... I gotta pick one first. I keep changing things up every month. #skatecrisiseternal
Kraft is the best.
JUMBO JUMBO JUMBO....
I was thinking those wheels were 85a, but 25 years of curing probably makes them feel harder.

You would know better than we do, haha
definitly gonna order a pair of those frames to try, i skate flat 60 also. What pants are those and that backpack? Liking the aproach Michael takes with his gear, not over engineered, but really well tought out!
Don't take this the wrong way, but I would love to know which Warhammer army Micheal plays. As someone who has rollerbladed to the game shop many a times he gives me Warhammer vibes.

Am I the only one who spotted the SQUIRREL getting some camera time? I won't say where it appears, that's the fun of it. ^_^
Those wheels seems ones that came with K2, for the model after the fatty, cant remember the name

That seems like it could be right. Maybe not the "face" branded ones, but ones that are basically the same

why does lower cuff make the royale more difficult?
@jumboblading
7 ай бұрын
I'm not sure exactly why Michael thinks it is. If I had to guess why, based off of my own experience with it, I'd say that a lower cuff puts more stress on the ankle to balance and hold the position of a royale. A higher cuff provides more stability. I'm just guessing though. What's harder for him might be totally different.
He'd be so hot if he had a British accent.
