    ===================================================
    In 1980, a group of ice hockey players in Minnesota were looking for a way to practice during the summer.[1] Scott and Brennan Olson formed the company Rollerblade, Inc., to sell skates with four polyurethane wheels arranged in a straight line on the bottom of a padded boot.[1] In 1988, Rollerblade introduced the first aggressive inline skate, the Rollerblade Lightning TRS. Aggressive inline skating developed as an organized sport in the early 1990s.[2] In 1994 the National Inline Skate Series, better known as NISS was launched as the first aggressive skating competition series. Promoters Rick Stark and Mark Billik sold Taco Bell on sponsoring the series for $150,000 and a six stop series was born. NISS, went strong for 5 years holding contests in Los Angeles, New York, Rome and Brazil. NISS was the first series to put aggressive inline on television with an ESPN deal for the 1994 series and later moving the competition series to PRIME TICKET-Fox Sports. The Aggressive Skaters Association (ASA) was formed by a number of aggressive inline skaters in 1995 as a forum to develop rules governing competitions and equipment.[2] The sport was included in the first ESPN X-Games in 1995 and included vertical ramp and street event competitions.[3] It reached its height in popularity in the late 90s, with mainstream movies like Disney's Brink! and other films. The brand "Senate", run by Arlo Eisenberg and several other prominent skaters, enjoyed mainstream popularity during the 1990s.
    Founded by company owners/skating legends Brian Shima, Jon Julio, and Kato Mateu and supported by all major skate companies, the World Rolling Series (WRS) links together the best skaters, event organizers, retailers and skate parks and aims to "create a tighter knit community, increase overall awareness and set a higher standard for aggressive rollerblading." The WRS circuit started in 2009 with 10 established professional contests in France, Netherlands, England, Spain, Argentina, Australia and the United States. In 2012, WRS included 100+ amateurs and professional events in over 20 countries.

    M12’s always make people who skate them look super steezy! That extra effort you have to put in. Unfortunately for me they just dont agree with my feet, but they are great skates for people that can get on with them for sure. Killer skating as usual Ben 🤘🏼

    Someone needs to make you a wheel. Like, going pro, whatever, is some people’s dreams, but you’re talented. In a group you have a bag of tricks. You do a lot for the community, and reviews are great. Someone also needs to make you a section. Not you, cause you’ll over think it lmao, and set it to good music. Just my two cents. Merry Christmas dude!

    You are doing really good on them. I just bought some last month because my k2 fatties were falling apart. I was concerned about soul space and laughed when I found out my size 11 m12 plates were 3mm bigger than my size 13 fatties. It's not a huge deal and the plates lock in. I don't do negative grinds so all is good. Also, did you notice how the back half of the soul plate is angled?

    I have a beatdown pair of the cheap black M12s with shitty old Kaltik freestyles and the wheels that came with the frames. I didn't change the liner or anything else. I can lock in on ANYTHING. I bought a nice pair of 909s. I spent a lot of money setting them up, bought nice liners, spent some cash on frames and wheels...but my cheap Roces with hand me down frames win every time.

    Sorry, but the Roces M12 looks 100000times better than the Faction skates and the soulplates are not so small as you say. You can measure it and you will see that the positive side has almost the same width as the Faction soulplates. Merry Christmas!😉

    Your movement looks way more steezy in this video, you upper body and arms are way more relaxed. I'm not even sure it it's different or I see it differently, you upper body and arms are generally a bit tighter, stiffer. You seem to flow more, move more loosely in this video.

  • @cfronin
    @cfronin 8 месяцев назад +1

    Always hated the "cheating" super wide skates because they look fat and most people develop very bad style riding them because they are so forgiving. I started blading on the TRS lightning, tried many many brands and types of skates over the years, and still skate m12 today. They improve my style by making me work for the trick, and I'll always prefer a good looking simple trick over a sketchy triple switchups.

  • @Friskybusiness1
    @Friskybusiness1 8 месяцев назад +1

    Hey ben! have you ever skated the razors shift? and if not would you ever consider skating them for a review/first impressions if someone sent some? id send mine for the review if i could but theyre my new main blades and im honestly just curious what you think of the shift boot vs the cult or SL boot. especially as someone whos skated the cult pretty extensively from what ive seen on your channel. ive personally had a great time on my first day on the shifts, locked onto my soul and makio grinds just like i wouldve with aeons or sl's but downsized for my shifts from a 10/11 to a 8/9 boot and have had a great first experience with downsizing because of the myfit secondskin lomax pro liners.

    • @Martz604
      @Martz604 7 месяцев назад +1

      I am not Ben but I am a friend and I also have tried the US 8-9 Cults, US 10-11 Shima 1 reissue (Cults), the US 8-9 Shima 3 reissue (Cults), the US 8-9 Genesys, the US 8-9 SLs, and the US 8-9 Shifts. Several Caveats with this. I am a 278-279mm Mondopoint and have found the medium Intuition V2 with a Myfit 3/4 Insole to fit the best in the Cult for me. I have tried the Myfit 2nd Skin in 9-10 and it also fits very well. The Shift for me pretty much requires the Reign V3 liner in either a US 9.5 or the US 10 (which the neoprene scrunches at the toe for me). I would say the Shift is a lot like the tight and precise fit of the Cults but with the structural benefit of the thicker soulplate design they developed from the SL. The SL is a much comfier roomy fit as I also like the Auroux stock liner which is like a Reign V3 in 9.5. I believe you cannot go wrong with the SL, just a super comfortable dedicated grinding skate. My personal preference is a Genesys shell with the US 9-9.5 with a Superfeet hockey comfort just has a great fit and feels like the SL but the royale groove is just a bit deeper which I prefer. That is all for now. Hope this helps!

      @@Martz604 this is a sick comment man thank you. ive got a pair of 10/11 sl's that i first learned/tried grinds on (soulgrind, makio, acid, and frontside) that for now im not using because i just recently got a pair of 8/9 shifts to try and downsize since my sl's felt large, the shifts have a larger mondo point proportionally, and i had already bought a myfit secondskin lomax 10/10.5 liner since they were on sale for really cheap from rollerwarehouse. i havent had a ton of chance to try my shifts yet but i like them a lot so far from the tighter look of the downsize, to the extremely responsive feel ive gotten from downsizing. id heard from a lot of people in videos that downsizing can make a big difference so i tried it and because im at the very highest end that can fit the 9/10 shell without discomfort, i think its been a really positive experience so far. im really hoping the harsh weather clears up around me soon so i can finally get out and skate more and get even more chance to see how much downsizing has helped cuz it makes me a lot more confident.

    • @Martz604
      @Martz604 4 месяца назад

      @@Friskybusiness1 This is great! Since this comment I have decided to probably stop skating the US 8-9 Cults I have with Intuition V2s. They semi-work but my feet and toes do go numb/ hurt a bit after a while and I am at a point where I'd rather be comfortable. I think the Myfit 2nd Skin liners still work pretty well in them though. I haven't skated my Shifts enough but I do think they fit a bit more generous than the Cults but not as roomy as the SL or Genesys. Glad I could help!

    Idk what they used to set the bar on their sizing....pixie maybe? I pretty much fit into US sz 9 regardless of manufacturer & model except the M12. I don't even come close to fitting into those...not even with the liner out.

    • @daveshave5247
      @daveshave5247 8 месяцев назад

      Had a pair of Valo Bacemint edition skates, like you said could fit almost every sz 9 skate brand comfortably except for those. Shoot even Remz and they are notorious for a small toe box. I ride cults cause they’re almost the same but a little wider all around but still slim feeling.
