Salomon Aaron Feinberg Aggressive Inline Skate // First Impressions
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 сен 2024
- Old skates, updated for the present. There's a massive fan base for these old Salomon skates. I wanted to see what all the fuss was about.
These are the Aaron Feinberg model, which were the first UFS boots on the market. I've upgraded them with new shock absorbers and King Souls, along with 50/50 Balance Frames.

yeah, top buckle needs to be cranked up for sure. the fast lacing system is really great, something i'd like to see on modern skates for sure.
I had K2 fatty pro and then switched to saloman st9 in cream.. Amazing! Im 35 now.. still think about the skating days :)
Salomons were the best aggressive skates ever made. Period
Someone needs to resurrect those skate molds.
Favorite features:
Liners
Shock absorbers
8mm axels
Locking laces
Supportive, comfortable, boots
@@leonardticsay8046 Yes 100%, I would buy them straight away
That shock absorber was definitely a game changer back in the day.
I skated Day and Night on Salomons around 98-99 had the first run of the St8's. Very precision, light, comfortable skate. I remember putting each skate on and clicking the buckle 4 clicks on each side, locking and skating in about 8 seconds. the laces you can just pull up and click to lock, so I just kept them locked in place and had a small black sneaker tongue under the laces to put some pressure on the top of the foot. We all had sneaker tongues in our skates then. The cuff isnt free like other skates, it is locked at the back and the bolts have a grove where it moves up and down, so the skate kind of pulls back slightly when you push off, they called it the energizer cuff. Right around that time, everyone I skated with had Salomons. Its cool they kept that boot mold and just changed the colors, they never made any other aggressive boot mold, which I dont think any other aggessive skate company made only one boot mold design and then left the market. I bought a used paid of the brown St8 around 2009 with some new Brandon Campbell liners they used to sell on rollerwarehouse. They were one of the better skates in the late 90's 2000s but I agree there are alot of good skates on the market and arent really that superior in my opinion. No one really made heat molding liners that I know of at that time, and Solomon being a ski company already knew the exact formula for a good heat molding liner and that was what really made the skates special. They were more comfortable than a pair of sneakers once the liners are broken in.
Reading that made me feel back in the 90's on my st9... I still collect each tongue of my shoes since then xD
Cool review. I won a pair of ST9's from a comp back in my youth. Honestly, after the fatty, probably my favorite from back in the day. Not UFS, but definitely flexy where I needed it, and slid like a dream. Thanks for the trip down memory lane!
I’ve been waiting for you to skate Salomons :)
I have Salomon STI Team and I'm a big fan! I had the original ST9s in cream! I had them heat up the liner in shop to mould them to my feet. Love the channel mate! You're inspiring
Been watching your videos for a few months now and I just purchased my first ever helmet... Currently recovering after breaking my elbow and then having surgery.
Figured between that and seeing guys like you actually wearing a helmet that fuck it, I need to start protecting my head if nothing else.
Keep up the positive influence ✌️
Smart! Glad to have you in the community
1999 Woodward friend and I, both salomons and the 50 50 metal plates. We would drop into the bowls and hit coping going like 20 mph + and boy would they go!
I rode these boots back in the day. Talk about bringing back some memories. Woodward camp twice in them.
Woodward was always a dream place to go when I was younger.
Dude those were the best royale/back royales I’ve seen you do! Glad you enjoyed the Salomons. Keep at it with your 540. I try to hit one every session just so I don’t loose it. I bet you’ll be able to hit one every session as well
I remember when these came out! I’m actually fixing up a pair of my old 2001 pre UFS DUSTIN LATIMERS.
This video was super helpful for me as I just picked up an old pair of these that I want to fix up and get them usable again
Haha ayyy! Nice man I actually just finished a restoration project on some ST10s
I have some shaved ST60’s with Adapt souls or you can modify a USD carbon or 7s soul. I rode them for awhile with GC FLT 3’s & Trust liners at the time. I found the skates stock complete at a Goodwill for $9.99 at the time years ago so I had to snag them. I wish I still had my original ST 8s.. they unfortunately got lost in a move sometime around 2013 ish. Crazy I have an old photo from when I got them new in 1999.. my grandma had taken me to Play it again sports & since rollerblading was so popular at the time they had a really great selection of new skates. I remember looking at all the new models & I had to have the ST 8s.. tried them on & fell in love. The photo I have must be shortly after I had got home, I’m sitting on the end of the couch ottoman, fresh skates laying on the carpet & I’m on the phone talking to my close buddy telling him about my skates because I was hyped to skate with them & they all had newest K2s & USD thrones or Roces. I was wearing baggy as hell JNCO jeans & I believe a JNCO sweatshirt. Damn those were the days for sure! Wish I still had those boots
No way, I had some of those. Sold my mountain bike to buy those, loved them
Wow I remember those. I had some Solomon’s i bought off my friend. They where the blue and white ones.
I had these when they were new! I just started back after about 13 years off skating my old Rob Thompson’s. You nailed the Salo problems. Boot was great but the shock absorber was dry rotten. I just bought new Aeons but I may add these soles to refresh the salos one day.
I adored Salomons!! The liners were amazing and the rode like a dream. If I had those with Realm wheels. OmG
I always just used st1 when i used to akate as a kid started again now at 32 found a pair on ebay 55 quid mint still in a box love em
Old video I know, but I miss those Salo quick laces so much. Never understood why clones didn't catch on.
I remember loving how comfy my st8's liners were. those were the first skates I ever heard you needed to heatmold. The fast lace system was also a great feature although it's a pain when one of those lips snaped off.
youre skating blading history there.
Funny story I just need to share:
I saw a video about Salomon did not the industry so I started looking up Salomon inlines just for fun and to my suprise they seem like one of the best inlines. So I searched it up and found a pair of almost brand new MY SIZE for 30 dollar shipping included. So crazy.
I just got some st80s with the wide cheatplate soul for £50! I wasn't looking but I couldn't say no - they've only been used a couple of times, all original and never grinded and actually in my size.
Looking forward to that nostalgic vibe when they arrive!

Damn... Those would be dope with jugs/reign liners
I got ... old skates. Lol! Nice review. Looked really solid!
Great video! Was looking forward to this one. Great "review".
These were my favorites next to st7's and st8's then the st.Aaron feinburgs witch were just a customized st80 And I love every model they're all Is better than any other aggressive inline skate at the time the other one giving it a run for its money was K2 and All the real goods skaters used salomons Solomon also put out a pair of soap shoes that had a grinding pad like the soaps did but they had another kinda like a sole plate but none of the plates where changeable witch lead to not many people wearing them but regardless of how it works they still looked better than the soaps did even though the soaps were really comfortable
if you get after market souls dont get ones with backslide plates. The best thing about salomons is there was no backslide plate everything was on the boot.
So few people now will understand why that was so nice. Fattys were the epitome of this but torques wouldn’t work. It does feel so nice and so much more natural being closer to the ledge. I’m guessing Aeons have some of that going on but it’s still a much wider skate.
I have the same Sals and do think they’d be a great skate to bring back to market because other than the excessive heel rise (which is amazing on gaps tho), it’s such a great boot ergonomically. Both the shell and the liner fit so well with zero pressure points, and basically no break in period from what I recall. The materials used are also insanely durable. I skated mostly concrete ledges directly on the boot (no soul plate) and they just never seem to wear through).
I will say the biggest issue with the heel rise is how far it puts your heel away from the ledge on topsides (just not natural for muscle memory, this is where no-rise skates like fattys are amazing - for topsides) and for backside royales (there’s all this extra distance between your heel and back wheels up on the ledge). I mean you can definitely get used to it, I instead then for years, but it does feel like high heels.
PS. Funny how squeaky that pair is. Mine didn’t do that but maybe they do now, it’s been awhile since I set them up.
Finally skated the salos
I know it been a while since you’ve reviewed the wizard frames. Since then a couple other brand have released their version. If possible could you do a comparison video between the Wizards, Endless Frames, and NN skates frame. Thanks!
Law your skating looked solid in this video Bro!
These were my very first skates and what started me on my skating journey. I'm still going my Salomon's sadly are not.
Wow, these are what I had back in maybe 2004? I think the "cool" or best ones at the time were Shima's? Man, I miss those days with my friends. No drugs, just skating around our nearby apartment complex retail shops and finding spots. Skating to one another's houses and just going out. If it was too hot, go inside and play Counter-Strike off of Road Runner cable internet and download music off of Napster.
It’s funny how different personal prefs can be (and some of it might be foot shape/size/height). I own the exact same Sals (but with stock souls in other words basically no soul plate) and never touch the laces and barely buckle them (it’s not a long buckle) and would still say they’re the most supportive skates I’ve had ever probably. But on a similar note, where you (Law) are super comfy on Adapts (makes sense, you like support), I felt super constricted when in tried them on. I *want* my feet/ankles to be able to flex when skating and adapts felt like I had bricks on every side of my ankle zip tied on, ha. Like I said just different personal prefs. Similarly, my Factions arrive tomorrow and I’m imagining I’ll like the squishy liner as USD carbons drove me nuts how they had no give/buffer (liners hard as a rock so the thickness became a moot point).
Constantly looking for some STi Pro, Vinny Minton or Chaz Sands in UK 9 hahah.
I just bought a super fresh and stock pot of sti pros.
I badly want a pair of bcam2’s and some st80’s though
@@trevornew9278 Since I left that comment I have gotten some great condition Rob Thompson model skates. Got my MyFit Crown liners in as the stock ones were thrashed. Been riding with the stock Widebodies as well.
I had the soloman st90s and the ones before that. The white light blue framed ones the st8s
Put the usd shock in or run without a shock, I do and they are super fast and your heel locks in better. Great vid as always. Thanks
Awesome 👌 you can hear the 2000 out of them
Haha, very loud for sure
Ohhh yeah lol
hello, nice shots, I will use them in my videos
solomon rollerblades were very good, i had 2 pairs myself
I had the chaz sand 2s with the wide bodies what I wouldn't give for a pair of em with some juice blocks 😍
Idk abt when they swapped to ufs system, but they were also well known because you could mold the fit to your foot. If you do that, itll prob feel a hell of a lot more comfortable.
Im restoring my ST70's, size 8, original sole and frame are piece. But underneath the insole i believe they are 2 other (not in use) UFS holes, what 50/50 frame do recommend?
🤝BTW great vid, i was a late 90's skater 🤙
Nice! Size 8 go with the medium.
@@BacktoBlading sweet will do! I got my daughter into aggressive skating. now she gets me amp'd, plus we watch ya vids. Cant wait to upgrade these solomans! ✌️ Thanks for the advice!
I had the non UFS ST8's, they where the bomb... I got used to the front lean position so bad that I put the salomon shock absorbers in my Psirus too... but you are right about the desintegrating part. Thx for the tip on the razors shock absorbers. This will come in handy for my current REMZ HR 2.0, even with the low heel risers in them it feels like they are too much lean back for me.
Can you tell me what kinda souls or if you know where to get cuffs or hardware or boots thanks.
I used to skate the Aaron Feinbergs until they got stolen... I especially liked the way they fit my feet. Can you recommend any current aggressive skates that have a similar fit?
Tough call. The Salomon are classic fit. I’d maybe look at the SL as an option.
@@BacktoBlading Thanks! I was looking at the Aeons but I'll make sure to give the SLs a try. I never skated Razors, so that's interesting anyway.
Soul is GIANT
Rb solo shocks are pretty same size as original, i can recommend them.
Yeah, where the hell to get those though?
Charles Fleischer i saw Lawrence have Rollerblade Fusion/Solo boot. Sometimes people sell whole skates not too expensive like salos now. Solo s are crazy, mine fav now.
Krzysztof Konopczyński it’d be nice of Rollerblade to make those available, as they’re not too easy to create for the shape inside the Solo’s shell
Nice review!!! Those soul plates look great! Do you know what model of king soul plate are these ones?
They’re all custom, I think
Back to Blading Thank you for the replay :-) I was going to buy one for my THEM909 you know for a wide and easy soul plate, but the website has a number of different models. I sent him a request, we’ll see his recommendation for the THEM909. Thank you
I have the same ones but the soul plate and the frames are different
Didn’t one of the Salomons have that custom liner you could heat up and it molded to your foot? Wasn’t it the ST9’s?
Think so. There’s a few heat moldable liners now.
how about oxelo aggressive skates is it good for beginner
I haven’t tried them yet, they’re on the list
Sorry to say it in this video but I need a helmet . But I wish I could send u a pic I had in this doing a back slide
Try them with your reign v3 and it will fix the stability issue, stock come low on your ankle so wobble about
Went from the Fatty Pros to the Salomons and they were the bees knees, wish they still made them
8:42 You got other bladers out there. BRINK- SOUL SKATER
Any chance we get some tips for jumping I know you are not an expert but it'd be nice to learn how to get about an extra foot off for begginers instead of just jumping
I’m hoping to do some beginners videos soon. Just need the sun to calm down a bit.
6:57... awe... that Dad in the background only saw you do the 3 forward tricks and not your 2 harder ally-oop tricks
What size shell are they? For some reason I'm looking into finding a pair for my 27cm feet.
I think the 28-28.5, maybe the 43-44?
I disagree with your stance on forward lean. Running shoe have it out of bad design, rollerblades have it for the same reason. Flat soles are how humans exist.
Sure, and I think shoes with a raised heel make humans run faster. I’ve read nothing that says it’s a bad design.
You can nerd out on reading the debates on heel-striking vs mid/forefoot striking and barefoot running technique.
I kinda do. I think you have a point about it potentially being faster to have heel rise but in my experience I would rather strike with the front of my foot and save my back from the impact.
wasnt the sole moulded to your feet in a shop before you bought them? these, fatty pros and soft boot roches
k2 250cc next please
Where can I find good skates ion a budget?
eBay?
this salomom model is very reminiscent of oxygen argon ar 1.1
Is this the Aaron Feinberg from early 2000's Hoax.. 4.... Hotter than hot the young guy that moulded my style!!! !
if u get tired of them send them to me lol
Already gave them away
Squeak squeak squeak...
Yeah, crazy. Was it always like that
I had over 10 pairs go through my hands in the past few years, and skated 4 pairs personally. I haven't had a pair that squeaked that bad. Some liners can squeak a bit tho, the cuff doesn't move a lot when you flex forward.
Hey Patreon is undergoing serious Litigation that is more then likely going to bankrupt the organization Which could cause you to lose whatever money you have tied up with that company. I suggest finding an alternative donation platform Before the hammer comes down and they go bankrupt later this year.
As great as salmons were, I really wish people would stop skating them. We should be supporting the companies that stuck by us and not ones who abandoned us.
For sure. I didn’t see the huge advantage over current skates. Get yourself some SL or find some VII
@@BacktoBlading For somebody like me, who stopped skating and looking at skating stuff around 2001 (still love my Salomon ST8s), you're referring to the Razors SL and USD VII?
