My favorite people in this video are the guy at 3:33 who's sweater matches his skates but he's also trying to learn a new trick with a cigarette in his mouth 😂. Living up to the French sterotype right there. Also Stacy. I love Stacy. She's dorky and adorable
I love that you made this videos. Those old rollerblades were really excellent! I have been skating on a similar pair of Rollerblade e-pros from the late 90s for the past twenty+ years and they are still amazing. I hate that you can't get the three buckle closure system on modern skates. They were so easy to get into and out of. Clip clip clip & go! No need to struggle with laces and ratchet straps, no pulling and pushing. Set it to your size and forget it. Easy in and easy out. I love my new Rollerblade Twister 110s, but I haven't yet bought a new pair of 80s, because I still love my vintage skates.
The same thing happened to me when I got my first quad skates for rollerdancing & rink skating. They were harder to steer and felt so SHORT! But now I use both quads & inlines, and switch back and forth between them with no problem.
I'm 14 and I've been using these for a good few years now; I never even knew they were vintage! So happy to know they are rockered, but I had to get new wheels as they broke while I was skating
...my first pair of inlineskates were that in the video :)... and the difference between them and what I have now is immense... but for a beginner they are good.
I had a pair like this in the 90s! Haha! Do not miss skating on them at all! Would love to see you in quad skates more bro! Spread the skate love! This video is making me think I should make one on how to transition from inlines to quads!
that would be a good video. dont see many channels that skate both inline and quads. i can only think of your channel and lino a couple of times. all the best
Those are my Rollerblades (or my type/model rather)... from the late 90s--I kid you not, exact same brand. I took them into a skate shop the other day and the owner exclaimed, "Vintage skates"! Glad to see you try them out and let me know what you think of them compared to moderns skates (which I haven't ever really tried). I always felt a bit restricted in them; however, I plan on getting some new ones soon as soon as the 2019 line comes into the skate shop.
Rollerblade Viablades were my very first skates in 1998. I've owned MANY inline skates since, but there was always something lacking in those newer skates, and I would inevitably go back to my Viablades. When it came time to replace them, I went on eBay and got the exact same 1998 skates! My favorite things about the Viablade are the lightness of the skate and how well the non-metal frame dampens road vibration, as well as the ease of adjusting the buckles. The only thing I didn't like was the ABT heel brake... bulky & noisy. Since I do use a brake for skating hills, I simply removed the ABT brake and put on one from some Rollerblade junior skates. My current skates are Seba High, which I love. But... they're heavy, they take forever to put on and lace up, and it took over a YEAR (and lots of pain, heat-molding & gel ankle padding) to get to where they didn't kill my feet. I still have my 1998 Viablades, and I STILL skate in them when I want to give my feet a rest. I agree that putting new, 80 mm wheels on them makes them amazing. I always felt that Rollerblade couldn't really improve very much on the original Viablade skate design, other than maybe a more modern, lower cuff. For years after that, most new skates had soft boots which were very comfortable, but not as supportive & responsive as the stiff boots. When the stiff boot designs started coming back again, it was like maybe they realized it's hard to improve on something that's pretty close to perfection. The Twister version introduced a few years ago was similar in performance... I loved how they handled, but absolutely could NOT use them due to the pain they caused my ankles. :'( So... once again.... I went back to my beloved old standbys - 1998 Viablades!
Be careful with those skates, especially if you demand them too much. I tell you that my Rollerblade Lightning skates, after 25 years (1993) literally exploded on my feet, and from skating I saw myself barefoot in a second, miraculously I did not fracture a foot haha. The wheels are still impeccable and yes, all four are rockerable, turning a kind of spacers that go between the frame and the screws... I loved these skates.
Haha, I have Rollerblade ViaXR that I bought in 2000, same thing happened to my wheels, but after 20 years, i guess its ok! Now I have new bearings and wheels, I still use them and love them!
It looks so fun to skate together with all of you, I wish there were more skaters where I live so we could have a community like this. This video was very fun to watch, love the experimentation!
I still have my rollerblade hwy7’s that I bought in ‘95 or ‘96. I pulled them out of a box and rode them after many years of storage, it wasn’t pretty but it was fun.
Nice to see old skates from back in the days! 👍 I got my Rollerblade mid-nineties and I still have them! 👌 Of course I get new wheels if the old ones are worn out but I really like my skates! 🙂 Rollerblade Bravoblade GL to be exact! 😎
Finally got my High Light Carbons thanks to your advice and they are great!!! Could you do a video tutorial on how to do the stuff you do in this video at 2:05 and on? Thank you for being the inspiration!
My first pair of blades was a cheapo set from the late 80’s and they were AWEFUL. The wheels were the worst part. They were way too hard, and it made for a really uncomfortable bumpy ride. They also had NO BEARINGS. Just rolled on the axles. So you would stop for a second after every push. And the noise they made was deafening.Somehow I found my way to a pair of K2’s about 10 years later, and it was amazing, the difference. I used them HARD, and wore the wheels down to nubs. You didn’t miss much with those horrible old vintage skate wheels.
I am from TANZANIA and meeeeen😃 im so suprised that they are from 80s/90s because those skates are like sebas here if you own a seba and i own that - it makes no different 🙌🏾🙌🏾 but to be honest bro im so inlove with the viablade roller blades more than any skates - you have just made me to love them more its awesome❤️👊🏾
Hey Tiago, awesome video as always! Just a question since you've tried the hc evo pro with both rockered frames 3x90 and 4x80. Do you feel that much of a difference? I'm asking because I was used to slalom with the hc evo with the rockered 3x90 but recently I tried the seba cj with the rockered 4x80 and man, what a difference! I know the skates are completely different but I felt the rockered 4x80 more maneuverable than the 3x90. How do you feel about that? Keep up the great videos!
Super nice, trying vintage!! Talking about oldies... Does anyone here know the wheel size of old Bauer F3 Fitness roller blades? Or max wheel size? I think the setup was two sizes, 72 and 70mm but not sure. I was thinking of restoring my old skates but don't know what wheels to use. Any thoughts/suggestion? Thanks!
I have a pair of hockey skates and this is my first skate and I don't know if I can buy a wheels wtih 80/72. Please any advice where to by online. From Phillipines.
Need advice. The issue with the wheels at the beginning of the video is a common thing for old skates? Someone has some 1995 Rollerblade fusion to sell and I am worried about this happening to the wheels. Thanks!
Hello Tiago ils ont de beaux reste ces rollerblade de 90 ont reconnais bien avec les 3 boucles de fermeture a l époque j avais des Bauer fx4 sa roule bien aussi et bravo pour tes vidéos top lol
what do you think about K2 Skates? I own a pair but they're a little old. I use 78-80mm wheels, I'm thinking of getting a new pair. Any recommendations on other brands I should try out? OR any recommendations on skates that can go up to 90mm (I'm trying to get further and go faster)
Im buying these today for 15 bucks on FB. What makes them vintage? I thought they were new looking. Haha but I haven’t owned any since I was a kid. I just want sone to blade with my dog.
je n'ai jamais trouver mieu que les viablade, c'est super rapide a mettre et a enlever, et ils ne me font pas mal au pied, contrairement aux autres que j'ai tester comme les twister, long a mettre avec les lacets et qui me font toujours mal...
I had a pair of Variflex black, purple and neon green skates in like 1994 lmao. I honestly wish I still had them. They rolled like shit but that aesthetic was on point.
En Côte d'ivoire on continue de les utiliser ces rollers de 80s ou 90s. On les appelle affectueusement "roller cheval "😅. C'est considéré comme étant de bons rollers vus que..... voilà quoi👍
careful learning on quad skates ive seen many destroyed. try not to put lots of pressure on any part but especially the heel... just pulls the heel off of the boot... need high quality leather and wooden heel to be very durable the plastics arnt that good yet unless your careful...
o.o' man you think those are vintage o.o' you should try out a pair of Bauer 200 series off ice hockey blades, now those take some getting use to full leather inner padding, a hard plastic toe shield and nothing but laces, honestly they aren't too bad if you can deal with the plastic toe -.-' really its the only thing that bothers me about em, FUCK.... i decide to pick up inline skating around the time my city forgot about it completely... holy crap never thought it would be so dam hard to find a good pair of blades around Kitchener/Waterloo but i swear no sports stores around here sell rollerblades anymore o.o' only place i can find rollerblades even mentioned in the area are in walmart catalogue's... and like hell i'm buying a $49.99 pair of paperweights... ....never thought id have to be ordering from denmark for inline skates o.o'

lol it's me xd i learnt it yesterday i mean the cross acid trick i can do it now :p

it's very interesting how you go from pro to beginner on those quad skates lol
The same thing happened to me when I got my first quad skates for rollerdancing & rink skating. They were harder to steer and felt so SHORT! But now I use both quads & inlines, and switch back and forth between them with no problem.
20 years later and I find out my skates were rocker-able
Lol. I have an older pair like those. I asked for ones that can rocker in case I wanted to play pick up hockey
LOL you really didn’t know this? 😂
If wheels are removed just flip those black tiny thingies for 2nd and 3rd wheel and then they’re rockered! 👌
I'm 14 and I've been using these for a good few years now; I never even knew they were vintage! So happy to know they are rockered, but I had to get new wheels as they broke while I was skating

I still have Bravoblade GL from 1995 or so and they’re awesome! 👌
They also had an ABT brake which is great for beginners and steep hills! 👍
11:36 Nearly a spinning kick take down, you'll get the kid next time! 😂

Oh no, I am using vintage skate! Same model!
I love vintage & skating 😍😍😍 Hence this is a great video 😍😍😍
this one was hilarious, especially the part with quads :D
Wow, to think that they already had rockerable skates back in those days... Great vid!
Those viablades are my actual 2018-2019 gear 😂 damn i need an improvement ☹️☹️
Great video, really funny!
I've been skating my vintage Risport from the 90's until last month, I finally bought a pair of Oxelo MF500 😃
I was hoping to see you in quads! I mean I know you would be bad in them because when I tried quads for the first time, it was scary. Lol.
It looks so fun to skate together with all of you, I wish there were more skaters where I live so we could have a community like this. This video was very fun to watch, love the experimentation!
Love the video Tiago, great to see people learning new stuff, and your skating is awesome as always!
My pair of skates. Ca. 1998 . Still love them ;) When you grew up with this plastic skates you don`t want different ;)
Please do this kind of vlogs, really had fun watching
I still have my rollerblade hwy7’s that I bought in ‘95 or ‘96. I pulled them out of a box and rode them after many years of storage, it wasn’t pretty but it was fun.

Amazing episode and your skating classes is superb and your friends also

What a beautiful place to skate that first one!

All the way from México! Awesome video!

You're doing great job, keep going! I can't wait for next one :)
OMG, I had just bought my "99.5% new" Viablade with a bargain today, with absolutely no idea they are already 23years old !!!

Did you ever figure what works?
J'ai eu à peu de choses prêtes les mêmes rollers en 1997, les Rollerblade Spark.
I *need* those Wizard NR100 frames! cx
Très amusant! So pump to go skating myself!

So, if these are vintage, what are the RB Bravoblades I started of with then? Pre-historic? Honestly, am I a caveman? ;>
Viablade my First skates many years ago. Good confort. Aldo My wife have the same model Brown color more elegant.
Rollerblade Viablade - my first ever ever inline skates back in... 1997. 😊 👍
Im buying these today for 15 bucks on FB. What makes them vintage? I thought they were new looking. Haha but I haven’t owned any since I was a kid. I just want sone to blade with my dog.
Well, stuff from the nineties is vintage! 🤷🏻♂️
Have fun with your skates! 🤩
Rubber products degrade over time, so even tho wheels seemed new they were probably expired

The rollerblade hwy 7s were my first inline skates
