I’m actually a little glad that my Aeons are on the slower side. For someone who’s just getting back into it after a 22 year break (therefore almost starting from scratch) I find it helps me feel like I have a little more control.
Love the frequency of how often you are making these videos. Quickly becoming one of my top 3 youtube bladers! So helpful too to see someone who is actually sick at skating and experienced sharing their knowledge 🙌🏻
Wow that back royale down taht big ledge at the end was 👌. Looks like all your hard work with YT is paying off too, you're getting MUCH more views than when I first started watching a few months ago 🙌
Awesome video and experiment. I got the USD Aeon basics recently and am just now getting into aggressive blading. Cool to see you're in SA also! I got to check out the Pearsall skatepark. I am right next to the Nani Falcone skatepark and I am still pretty new so I think getting started it would be a good place to learn still.
@@iRollerboot Thanks! I'd love to go out soon someday but not today unfortunately. I hope you guys have a great time maybe record some if you're going!
Your skating is excellent and so your contents.👍 The AEONs are frustrating. Slow soul plates and wheel bite is not a good mix. Hope you will find your best set up soon!
Looked super fast on that down ledge and then slow again on the p-rail. Props on going out and skating in this crappy weather. I'm a panzy when it comes to the cold haha! Luckily it looks like it will be getting back into the 60's again next week.
Bro I’m loving the switch ups u had to start in the late 90s because u do tricks not tap tap I cat skate how the younger people skate these days an are those aeons really worth that money ?
i heard the new Aeons coming later this year are made from a new plastic, will be interesting to see if they slide any better. regardless i love my Aeons the fit is amazing and they are so light and responsive
I usually scheme in my head on the way to the skatepark 😂. Thanks James! Are you coming to mission ledges tomorrow? Check the San Antonio RB Facebook page.
You should have maybe only added dimples on one skate and leave the other one original, and then just went back and forth on the same ledge at approximately the same speed and done simple soul tricks. Physics say that it should have an effect, at least on ledges, where more surface area comes into contact with the soul, but how big the difference is, is probably not super noticeable when the test is done days apart. Doing only one boot and effectively testing both ways during the same session would probably be a better indicator of how much of a difference dimples make. Ok, methodology rant over 😂
looked like it was super hit or miss on if they were faster or slower...the ledge looked quite quick, but alot of the rails it seemed like you had a "parking brake" on...
Too many switch ups for a "does the soul slide" video, butt keep up the good content on your page! Would have been more helpful if you had just balanced a makio or fishbrain to see how quickly the grind slows down. I wonder if more dimples with a smaller drill bit would have made more of a difference too
I've always been confused about the speed dimple thing. Yes you have less surface area, but you also have the weight distributed across less space which would also slow you down surely. Think how a needle can slide through skin because of its small surface area Vs a finger with the same pressure applied.
You're really going for this RUclips thing huh? Putting in a lot of effort. Daily uploads are no joke. Respect the hustle.
Thanks Jeff ^_^

Dude you're practically dancing on the rails and it's insanely satisfying to watch. The switches are looking crazy clean, keep up the fire content.
You tap danced that rail to death bro! Good stuff! Mad impressed with the uploads and skating content
Thank you 😊

My guy you are phenomenal at switch ups

Thanks Ben! I’ve been trying to pump out content more frequently. 🔥

I’ve only been to Nani once, awesome little park! Come out to mission ledges tomorrow at noon! Check the San Antonio rollerblading Facebook page!
@@iRollerboot Thanks! I'd love to go out soon someday but not today unfortunately. I hope you guys have a great time maybe record some if you're going!
great video; you were going fast on that p-rail, Bro-ther! Nice grindin action! Love it!
Man you a beast on those switch ups plus got that steez. I guess this is what 20 well skated years look like!
Im 24 now, hopefully I’ll still be skating 20 more years…
Sick tricks man! Great videos and info for all the rollerbladers out there. Much love!
Thanks Danny!
Unrelated to the Aeons, but you don't get enough credit for how hard you kill parks on a solo session. 🔥🔥
♥️♥️♥️thanks jt
Thanks for the upload 👍👍👍 another great video 🥳
BRINK!
Great video as always
Love your content 🔥
Thank you ^_^
Your skating is excellent and so your contents.👍 The AEONs are frustrating. Slow soul plates and wheel bite is not a good mix. Hope you will find your best set up soon!
Geezus bangers right out of the gate!
Nice video! Fantastic switch-ups😊
They looked good. U weren't slipping out. Great vid
Thanks brother.

Thank you!🔥🔥

I’m very Happy with the aeons. Lots of upside with a few drawbacks. They’re not for everyone, but I really like them.
One thing that I find a bit strange on the Aeons is the H block is always really quick even though it's the same material as the Soul.
Facts. It’s a little confusing.
Hblock will possibly be stiffer, more rigid, than the souls
It can get dangerously quick too if one waxes a rail due to the slow soul!
Same theory as dimples, less surface area.
Bonne vidéo . Tu gères grave . Est ce que les rollers Aeon sont bien ?
i heard the new Aeons coming later this year are made from a new plastic, will be interesting to see if they slide any better. regardless i love my Aeons the fit is amazing and they are so light and responsive
Do you think about the switch ups you do or is it all just on the fly? Either way super interesting the tricks you lace together man. Great job 👏

@@iRollerboot I would love to go, but my son’s birthday party is for tomorrow.
@@jamesrichter8000 oh nice!! Tell him happy birthday for me!!!
Thanks for saving me the effort from modding my Aeons.
♥️
You should change your name from I rollerboot to I switch lol sick edit again bruva
😂 thanks Simon
Where did the Brink movie go in the background?
You should have maybe only added dimples on one skate and leave the other one original, and then just went back and forth on the same ledge at approximately the same speed and done simple soul tricks.

At this point in going to machine a piece of UHMW for my soul plates
I've been wondering this thanks for videov
Hey What are your thoughts on Thunder blade dude making an electric skates. I’m extremely stoked for that
Oooo I need to look that up
looked like it was super hit or miss on if they were faster or slower...the ledge looked quite quick, but alot of the rails it seemed like you had a "parking brake" on...
Agreed. That rail can sometimes be weird though. Even on my cults sometimes it was painfully slow. Hard to tell.
That's unfortunate, in my experience, my dimples really help me slide faster when I fall on my face
When I had my oxygens ar I use wax the soul plate lol
💯💯
Seriously someone please help that poor rail
😂
yo..nice switch ups!
💙💙💙thanks homie!
More dimples filled with wax?
Too many switch ups for a "does the soul slide" video, butt keep up the good content on your page!

Yeah exactly. I think the type of plastic used for the soul plate and it’s specific coefficient of friction has a lot to do with it as well.
what were the wheels you was talk.n bout ?
The undercover Richie eisler loonie zoom wheels
MIKE JOONNESSS
Hahah you caught it lmao.
Take the burr off and round the edges of each hole
you got wheel bite between wheels 1 and 2.. literally unskatable
