Hello, welcome to the talk page on my rewrite of Freeline skates. See Talk:Freeline skates for a message containing initial thoughts on this rewrite. You can certainly help: Thanks for passing by, Th0rgall (talk) 10:36, 13 February 2016 (UTC)
 * By adding additional content of course.
 * I'm now writing mostly out of experience, a lot more sources will be needed to support the statements.
 * I'm a beginning Wikipedia contributor, I still have a lot to learn about encyclopaedic style and good practices. If you think certain elements are problematic in any way (too much how-to, too specific information,...) please let me know here and correct it if you want. My goal is to create a quality encyclopaedic article, not an advertisement talk about the sport or its manufacturers.
 * An update of this, according to What Wikipedia is not:
 * At the moment there are a lot of problems with "original thought", since this article is written almost completely from own experience and such. I am however confident to find a lot of sources like interviews with the inventors, third party community websites, newspapers ... supporting my views.
 * The "soapbox" section is also problematic now, I realize some text elements can be considered as persuasive info towards a prospective Freeskater. Th0rgall (talk) 14:35, 14 February 2016 (UTC)
 * I'm not a native English speaker, stylistic and other language related corrections are certainly welcome.

Pictures
Here is a list of picture idea's that I think would be illustrative (take it as a sort of "to-do")
 * A picture of someone acutally freelining in the introduction, I think a good picture of Ryan Farreley doing a downhill would be cool (if we can get a suitable one, with permission).
 * Trick section: a good picture illustrating a or several one foot riding tricks.
 * Trick section: a picture of someone doing a jump with grabs (I'm going to search for a good one of Isamu Yamamoto), or a stomp jump to get on a curb
 * A picture of a whole lot of types of Freelines together (JMK, OG, fakes, ...)
 * Community section: a picture of a community meeting — Preceding unsigned comment added by Th0rgall (talk • contribs) 15:03, 14 February 2016 (UTC)
