@@Crook3d_GT how are the stock wheels on harder roads? I gotta skate hard roads to get to my good spots I need something that doesn't rock my feet to death lol
1 Razor sl- 2 razor cult - usd aeon .. love thrones!! the Mesmer may be the same boot but feel nothing like a throne they are built very well an look amazing though . It’s an impossible task to put skates in a list 1-10 . If I were skating a ledge I would probably go with my cults . Handrails or coped box’s SL , ramp aeons fast an light . All skates do it all though ..
One of the skates that really got me excited was the RB blank, so my top 3 would be like 1.- RB Blank 2.- USD Shadow Eugen Enin 3.- FR UFR Idk if I'm going to win, but thanks for all the things that you are doing
Interesting top 10 but no love for the Razors Shift this time around? I wish I could get on with the 909's but the sizing doesn't work for me and my old bones need a decent shock absorber. Top 3 for me would be: 1. Razors Shift 2. Razors SL 3. Mesmer Throne
I like your reviews and your rankings. I think you can‘t go wrong with any of the shown Skates. Here are my top 3 1. Seba CJ2 Prime 2. Rollerblade Blank SK 3. Gawds Tim Franken Pro Cheers Maik
1. THEM 909 Pat Ridders 2. RB Blank SK 3. FR UFR (Pottier) I feel you about the being vain part. I have hard time skating boots that I don't jive with the looks. These 3 skates share quite a lot of similarities and I think they're definitely the most represented skates current. Pat Ridder 909's are definitely next on my list as I want a proper pair of intuition liners and finally try the small version of the 909 shell. The RB Blank liner is nice, but I'm curious to see how the intuition liner performs compared to it. My non-aggressive skates are Seba CJ, so intuition has always been on my radar, just haven't really had an opportunity or reason to get one quite yet. Nice video!
I used to skate almost 20 years ago and want to buy a pair of skates again. I loved Razors and want to buy another pair! What is the difference between the Cult, shift, genesis and SL?
1-Them skates/pat ridder. 2-Fr Potter skates. 3-Kaltik K skate (curve ball) 1- **them skates** I agree with Jake.. I'm trying not to be a fan boy. But the them hardware design and cuff adjustability is amazing for a stock boot. I finally found a boot that fits me perfectly after 20 years of skating. The downside is that the sizes seem a bit out.. I'm a UK 10.5 and fit in the medium 909 shell with the intuition. It would be nice to have one from new though. I've had to buy the last two shells 2nd hand due to family commitments.. You could probably tell from my loco account 😂 it's all parts for skates. I can't warrant £300 for the newer models. Do you guys think that there would be a chance to buy the shells only without the liners? Oh and also Jon is using the money from the boot sales to really bring newcomers to the sport. Look how we'll he has done with the street contests, Billboards, features in magazines, one of the first to up the royalties/wages for riders.. And not forgetting the comunit-e boots. More profits from the boots going into passion projects. 2- **FR skates** It's nice to see pottier to finally get a pro model. It's well deserved. Amazing value for money for the whole boot option. Nearly £200 cheaper than the them models. Shame the full boot setup didn't come with the intuition.. However a metal frame 8x 65mm wheels. Still a great deal. It seems like a great boot to enjoy the feeling of rolling along at high-speed but still having the capability to stop off at a skatepark on the way home. I would of loved to of seen the team review the frame though. 3- **Kaltik K junior skates** I have to say the build quality on these is incredible. The fact that my daughter can have a UFS skate that doesn't weigh a ton. It isnt bulky. And the closure/buckle system works amazingly well. I have recommended these to a few parents that have asked where I got my daughter her skates. The new colourways are quite appealing too. It's nice to see fabiola finally get a pro model...shame it wasnt a model she could actually skate though. I have wondered if they were to make these in adult sizes if they would be popular. For anyone that is thinking about starting in the sport. The USD Aeon/Sway are great boots.. Even though they can be looked upon as a entry model. RUclips "nick lomax" or" Richie eisler" they rock aeons. And nick is probably one of the best people to watch on RUclips right now for his videos. Be wary of buying the sway model from decathlon or sports/soccer etc. The soul plates are riveted to the boot and aren't as easy to replace as the models that loco sells. I'm in two rollerblading groups at the moment with skaters ranging from 14 all the way up to early 50s.. The most common boots within the group are.. Them skates USD sways USD Aeons Roces M12s Roces 5ths Seba CJ Carbons Thanks again guys.. Still would love a review on the Flat frame 😂 now knowing you not anti rocker skaters anymore. Also if anyone else reads past this point and has any questions.. Join the UKBC (united kingdom blader community) on Facebook for the biggest group of Rollerbladers that are more than happy to answer questions or a place to meet other locals to skate with..
3. USD Aeon, Loco version (my current skate) 2. Roces M12 (had a pair 20 years ago, would love to ride them again. nostalgia vote) 1. THEM 909 (dream skate!)
i love roces m12, but they have relly problematic liners. i preffer to use them with myfit recall my top2 would be usd sway, but they are a little wide. and honestly if i had money then i would 100% go for fr ufr intuition, i love all about it. i would get nn ronin for it too and would be the only pair i would be skating, just with different frames
1.them 909 2.fr ufr ap 3.razor sl My top three haha i have my number 2. But would love a number 1. Big ups from new zealand feel free to open a shop here ill be ya number #1 customer haha Cheers loco
Keep up the good work guys..finally back rolling after a 15 year break and loving it. For me my top 3 woukd be: 1. Mesmer Bolino 2. Gawds Tim Franken Pro Skates 3.Razors SL Henderson 2 Pro Skates
1. Cult 2. Them 909 3. FR UFR/ Seba CJ Prime 4. RB Solo/Blank Honourable mention would be a classic throne/Mesmer (Although I haven't tried the mesmers yet)
Don’t pick me coz you’ll have to ship to New Zealand 😅 But I reckon my top three of current skates (in cryptic emoji form for a bit of fun) would be: 1. 🟤🟤🟤🟤 2. 👑😵💫🚽 3. 😶▪️
Great video. Contents on point. For my it would have to be… 1. Them 909, absolutely gorgeous 2. Mesmer thrones ( never skated the thrones but was always very close to being my next skate) art etc sold it for me. 3. Rollerblade blanks (loved my treseder’s from back in the day)
I've only skates æons because that's all I could afford. The next two choices were mesmers and m12. But realistically, the best skate is the one you skate the most. Even if they are bad skates, if that's what you got, that's the best skate.
1. Rollerblade blank 2. Them 909 intuition 3. Mesmer Thrones. I love your channel I would like to see more deep dive on more skates. Keep up this awesome work 👏
Great review guys, I actually got a pair of USD carbons 2 years ago based on a similar review that u guys did at that time. My choices are: 1 - Gawds Tim Franken, 2 - THEM 909, 3 - Probably not mentioned here but USD Carlos Bernal carbon free. Cheers
My top 3: 1. Roces m12 (Nils Janson)- I love the M12, once you break them in it feels like your just in shoes, my grinds are sharp and controllable especially when you have square rails. I feel like im over the rail much more than on the 5th elements. though I lock in on the negative I can't hold it long (off course its me not the skate) 2. Roces 5th element - 2nd place reason being that I use the m12 for everyday usage and park, the 5th element I use more when Im on street and want to be a bit more lazy and try new things however, unfortunately I think they are a bit bulky and seriously thinking about moving to THEM. Though, they feel excellent for a bulky skate I thought they will be more similar to a KHUTI. 3. THEM - I love the design, the make and feel of the skate I actually have the frames in my M12's. THEM though looks like a bulky skate feels more like an m12 however the inside (negative) is easier to have fun with. Definitely my next skate!
Great deep reviews as the last couple videos. I love it. I could binge watch it. 😆 My top 3 would be: 1. Razors Cult Allstar 2. Roces M12 3. FR UFR AP Cheer’s!
Lotta great info in this video! Been looking to get back into aggressive inline recently and this gave me a good place to start. Since I havent tried any skates since the early 2000's heres my top 3 of skates i'd like to try. 1. Mesmer Thrones 2. Razor Cult 3. USD Gawds
Absolutely getting in on this. I have a bloomin' CHILD arriving imminently and can't justify buying myself new toys. That's my pointless play for sympathy in this random giveaway. My skate votes: 1. 909 Ridders. Haven't skated them but, y'know, I want to. 2. 908 CommunitE. Surprised how much use I've got outta these. I think they look great. 3. M12 Chestnuts. Will always love M12s. These are beauts.
Great review, keep up the good work. Here is my input: 1. THEM 909 - White (2022) + Intuition Skate Premium Liner 2. USD Carbon Free (all of them) 3. Usd Aeon 60 Nick Lomax - Grey
Hello, my pat ridders have the best comfort out of all of my skates. I must admit though since I replaced my frames with oysi mediums on my razor shift greys the speed and control with my grinds are super easy. Also if we were talking about what is the best skates that I own? I'm going to say my 2004 rob thompson salomons with oysi mediums 68mm outer famus and 60mm inner famus wheels reds bearings, roces RL1 liners. I have the wide body soul plates on these and one way I test to see if royales are easy or not is trying it on a low rail or box. These feel like salomans but with a touch of USD aeons because of the frame 😅 Also my lomax greys aeons are really nice because of the 2nd skin liners make them super comfy but I threw away those lace hooks and replaced it with a 45 strap 👍
So interesting to hear you talk about raised heel. I used to skate years ago and could never ride fattys as they alway made me feel like I was falling back. I bought a pair of Roces GRAAL to get back into skating and regretted it from day one as they felt like fattys.
Only ever skated 3 aggressive skates and one was a second hand classic throne which A) is not on the market any more and B) did not fit me at all. So, with that being said, my top 3 are… 3) THEM 909s - I’ve not had a chance to skate them yet, so I can’t really put them any higher than this, but this is deffo the skate I want next. I’ve heard nothing but good things about the way they ride, and I just love the company and the team and everything they’ve done for skating. Plus they have some of the most interesting designs on the market. 2) The USD Aeon - I really want to love this skate more than I do. I’ve only been skating for a year, and the MASSIVE soul plate and wide groove is perfect for a beginner. Plus the pink bladies skate (the one I have) is beautiful. But I’ve never quite got it to fit 100% right - it gave me terrible inner ankle pain, which I’ve read a lot of other people have struggled with. Cutting some of the plastic off has helped, but the liner does just still feel kinda sloppy and doesn’t hold my foot in well in some places, while being too tight in others. Plus, the hardware comes loose really easily, which I’ve seen other people complain about. 1) Roces M12 - I got a pair of these second hand and despite being too big for me by like a full size, I still loved them. Such a simple, beautiful looking boot, not to mention that the domestic punk is, for my money, the most beautiful design on the market. They fit so well and so simply with their genius memory buckle. And even as a beginner, the soul plate locks really well while being narrow enough to avoid looking like your feet are being attacked by space invaders. Much love Loco for supplying me and entertaining me through my first year of skating xx
1. Blank SK 2. USD Sway Farmer 3. USD Nick Lomax Aeons Rollerblade skates are made to such a ridiculous quality standard it's a no brainer for me. I did own Thems and they are also incredibly well made but I hate narrow plates cause I'm bad at locking in my grinds. With the new plate might be worth a revisit
Ive not tried 3 skates on the list so cant really make proper one. (Low / medioker rider) Blank and Them looks very interesting, seems so be quality skates, would love to try any of them some day. 1. Salom st8: Not around anymore but my all time favorite skate, the small soulplate is the only reason why i dont skate them today. 2. USD Aeon: Feels like a more premium skate over the VII, very light and feels tight. Not so much time spent with them but felt very good the times i used them. 3. USD VII: My current skate, Love the large soulplate, decent liner, the boot is a bit too wide for me so they feel a bit sloppy. Want to try them with flat setup since i ride mostly bowl today.
Skated the K2 Front Street, Stiff but great skate love them and still skate them. Currently have the FR Skates UFR Pottier Street but with 80mm ground control frames which are great for non-park skating. Current top three wish list 1. USD Shadow 2. Razors SL Henderson 2 Pro 3.Them Skates Marius Gaile Pro 909
I still have my Salomon pro Aaron feinbergs, Salomon st90’s in black and a set of first edition roces fifth elements in red. Love a set of those new roces m12’s 👌👌
1. RB SK because of the quality, never had a hot spot yet. And it fits my feet exactly. I like the fact that it comes with anti rockers as well. 2. 909 with intuition liner. It’s comfortable, I get a hot spot on the side of my feet when I ride them too long. 3. USD shadow Eugen Enin. Fits like a shoe. Very unique skate. Felt odd at first because of how high the heal pad is. But you get use to it after a while. I would have put the Razors SL on this list but I keep losing screws. And if I tighten them it’s pretty hard not to strip the bolt. But other than that the reign liner v3 is perfect for it and it’s a bendy/flexy skate just like the Shadows in my opinion.
Some great skates in there. My choice: 1. Seba CJ Wellsmore (any version, but the Carbon if I had to choose) Others I haven't tried but which look very tempting: 2. Them 909 3. RB SK Blank Honourable mention to the Kaltik K skate for kids.
Nice - although I find best a tough one to define.. As like you I go off looks rather than specs, plus i love 909s but they dont fit me well. 1. Mesmer Bolino 2. USD Lomax Aeon 3. Roces 5th Element
The m12 shell is an adapted freeskate to aggressive skate right? ✌️ Also, not in it’s current iteration but the blank was a freeskate (solo) when you removed the soul plates, that one’s a reach I know! 😂
1 - THEM 909 “WHITE” (best looking and best company imo and will be next pair of skates) 2 - USD AEON CROFTS (current/only skate ridden, love the color and feel of skate) 3 - ROCES M12 LO “chestnut” - such a unique color way and love the idea of the lowered cuff! I only got back into skating last year and have only rode the Sam Croft Aeons and love them so far, no complaint but my 1 and 3 choices would be my next two pairs if I could just got get all my dreams skates right now! Loved this video and always great content! 🤙🏽 (Finger crossed to win some White 909s) 🤞🏽
Whohoo ... No CJ2 Prime? 🙄. 1. Seba CJ 2 Prime - Quality, fit, look, concept, no break in time - I love this skates. Just two nice setups I would recommend for CJ2 Boot. both are flat street setups, able to grind concrete ledges and more: -Oysi medium with 90a 65mm / 95a 58mm (no soulplate mod required - fits out of the box, close to no wheelbite) -Oysi medium with 90a 68mm / UNDERCOVER Team Wheels 59mm/90A (bullet profile "grindwheels" ;-), minimal soul mod required. Even forcing a wheelbite is a real task. They skate fast and handle bad surfaces pretty well. The the wheels 2 and 3 last a long time in this configuration) 2. Marry Munoz Aeon - the best Aeon out of the box. It has nearly all mods, I would do myself. Metalbuckle, 45° Buckle. even a reflective stripe on the back. But the skate cries for Sliqx or a selfmade HQ-hard plastic soulplate mod. USD will certainly change the Aeon (soul-)material at some point in the future. They know about this Issue. 3. The USD Sway - great price and skates well. The perfekt 2nd Skate for Aeon owners to get an cheap UFS option. This skate is a great recommendation to people who would like to test whether aggressive is (still) something for them. And you can also build a nice freeride skate out of it. The options and quality at the given price point are in my opinion unbeatable when viewed soberly. ... Why no Thems? I love Them as a Brand/Company - but right now the Skates are not in my Top 3. Still a "young" concept and they will improve. But viewed objectively, the 909 skate has some flaws to me, so that there are better ones. However, Them is a great company that should be supported if possible. And I hope to be able to do so very soon. They are really good for our sport and culture.
The Zoom was die Playlife - Brinx! Great video and list! My list would be: 10. Razors Shift 9. Trigger Jeff Dalnas Pro 8. Razors Cult 7. Them 909 6. USD Sway 5. Rollerblade SK Blank 4. FR UFR -------------- 3. Roces M12 2. Razors SL 1. USD Aeon Other then those I still absolutely love my Salomons!
You should do a best boots all time, possible best frame current and all time and so on. Really enjoying these longer video My current top 3: Mesmer THEM Cults But I always go back to my Salomon's nothing feels as good as they do in my opinion.
Newer to blading so I have only been rocking the Them 908 Communit-E's for the past year, so I'd count my input invalid. However, based on comparing my skate style with reviews, yours and others, and as well as looks, my top 3 would be: 1. FR AP (Really like the looks, and I've been curious on freestyle boots) 2. USD Aeon (I feel I would enjoy these right off the get go) 2. Them 909 (I would love to try the new soul plate and compare it to the v1 plate)
I know I'm almost a year late but after watching the video I would have to say. 1: The USD SWAY I love the way it feels this is my 2nd skate and since I've made the purchase my other skates have been boxed. 2: The Razors Cult. I started aggressive inline on these and for the price it's really a great beginner skate. I purchased the V2 in white and I couldn't have been happier. Loved the anti-rocker setup until I brought the aforementioned Sways. 3: I would have to say just off of looks alone the Eugen Enin Shadows. Although I have no experience this skate is definitely my next purchase. And finally for my thoughts 4: The Roces M12 I brought these for my wife and did NOT like the weight of them as they are extremely heavy especially for such a narrow boot. I have a bigger foot and none of Mines feel as heavy as the Roces M12.
Daaamn all skates looks and works great! I think that Inline skating is coming back to top sports again:) Myself in age of 37 started skating again after almost 25 years off (whaaat!?:) but man it is still so cool and fun to grind rails, boxes, ledges!:) Now I ride on oldschool Rollerblade TRS Alpha (in 90s I rode in Roces m12) and they're really cool skates, but maybe little big and heavy. I was thinking about changing gear but it's really hard to pick one new pair :) 3. Blue M12 Loco looks really nice (i really enjoyed them in 90s) 2. Them are cool, really well thought and theeem Jon Julio! ;) 1. Mesmer & Blank SK - these two pairs - ahh man so classic but in new fresh version bring back memories from old good times. Black on black in SK made them look like a pair with the power from hell hehe, but Mesmer's design is realy stylish and on point. It's really cool to see that inline skating is still alive and it's doing well! Thanks Loco for all your support for the community and skaters. Real skaters never die! :) Love from Poland! 🌅🖖
1. RB SK 2. FR Pottier 3. Gawds Tim Franken I struggle with sizing on most skates as I’m between sizes. The 909s are great looking skates but I’m between size M and L. M12s are probably my favourite skate for fit and weight but I get really bad pressure points on the outside edge of my foot when grinding in them. Right now I’m on Salomon ST80s which are almost perfect, except when trying to do royales one them with Sola frames and 36 year old knees…
My top 3: 1 U-FR Anthony Pottier (I'm biased as I'm rolling them and loving them) 2 USD Shadows Eugen Enin (always loved my Xsjado's/Shadows) 3 Rollerblade Blanks (haven't skated them but they look pure quality!)
3. Razors SL My current setup Classic Red! 2. Mesmer Bolino Return and improved classic 1. Them 909 MOO0OPI All the 909's are reliable. Its seems like they can work for anyone with the right setup, The Moooopi is the most Aesthetically pleasing out of the 909's imho
Hello there, my name is Chanel Donahue. I was scrolling on RUclips trying to educate myself and I discovered your channel (freaking neat btw, keep up the good work). I am reaching out to you, and your subscribers because I couldn’t find a video with your top 10 aggressive inline blades.. for women. With the cost, and the vision I have for myself, it is extremely important that I execute this purchase to the best of my ability, while utilizing all resources (you). As far as my experience goes I would say I am advanced. In fact, I know I am advance when it comes to speed, having a competitive outlook on everything I do (excelling brings me joy) and constantly curious as to how far I can push myself physically and mentally. I can (and do) haul ass (even whip myself around gracefully to skate backwards while doing so) cut sharp corners, my balance is superb and because I’m extremely in tuned with my person and mind, I am not afraid to get hurt, to take chances and I would consider myself fearless (in comparison to most women my age, that I’ve encountered anyway). With that being said I’m ready to venture into aggressive skating with full force…I’ve been ready for a long long time and I’m confident I will thrive in that category. I’m 30 years old, 5”1 and I have narrow feet with beautiful high arches (I had to haha). If you’ve gotten thus far into me describing myself (a tad bit too much, however it is important). I appreciate y’all taking the time to do so. I am interested to hear your thoughts! Have a great day dude.. guys…
1 - Them 909 2 - M12 (skated these for years and they are almost unbeatable in every aspect) 3 - Razor Cults (loved my razors back in the day, this is the closest you will get to Superflats which I loved dearly) 4 - Mesmer - never actually skated the old Thrones, so this is more an aspiration to tick off the list one day Maybe do an all time video including old school skates? I always loved my K2 Fattys. All brown skates will also forever be eclipsed by RB Chocolates, was in love with my pair, the best shade of brown ever (although let’s not mention the soul kits)
1. Them Skates 909 - The most comfortable skates, looks good so it makes you feel good, landing great grinds 2. Rollerblade Sean Keane - Took them time to release this technical created skates. 3. Razors SL's - Great boot for wide feet, low to the ground, makes difficult grinds feel super easy Good luck to everyone! Thank you LocoSkates! Awesome content as always. Big support from Cali!
For the moment I have roces M12 and really like that shell, but I want to try new Them 909 with new souls, because I had Them 908 in wrong size and I didn't so happy with that set.. My top 3: 1. Roces M12 2. K2 Unnatural 😅 3. Them 909 Marius Gaile Pro
Looking at buying some Roces M12 UFS, M12 Lo, or the Rollerblade SKs. I wear a US size 10.5 shoe. I heard Roces run small and I’ve seen people suggest buying one or two sizes larger than your shoes. What size would you recommend for M12’s or the SK’s?
My top 3 are 1: Roces M12 2:Them 909 3:USD Sway The sway is at number 3 for me because of how accessible it is. This was my first skate getting into the world of aggressive skating and i dont think theres any other skate i would’ve preferred to start in. Great entry price, solid quality, all around a solid first skate. I haven’t tried the 909s too much but from the short time wore them they were fantastic. I think if i had a bit more time with them they’d be my number 1. The M12 is my favorite skate for alot of reasons. Its slick design, its compact shape and feel, its nice and tight fit, etc. Ive only had one pair and ive skated them down to the bone but I absolutely love the M12s.
Great video! My votes for top 3: 1. Them 909 (haven't skated them yet, but will be my next purchase) 2. Mesmer throne (haven't skated them yet) 3. USD Aeon (my current skates, with intuition liners, amazing)
About your videos, don't care about what they say about you, I think you are OK 😀 at the end of the day, your videos are all about your opinions and how you see each product. keep doing a good job guys My top 3 RB Blank ( looks wonderful ) Them 909 Pat Ridder USD Shadow Enin
Difficult decision definitely. Mine would be: 1. FR AP UFR (w intuition) 2. Pat Ridder 909 3. Razor Shifts Sad the razor shifts didn’t get on the leaderboard. The IFC does open a whole of skating options haha.
I haven't skated any aggresive skates haha......BUTT I'd be more inclined towards: M12 - because of the price and the narrow fit for my small feet and ankles. (also looks great) USD Sway - for the quality to price ratio also because apparently it's easy to learn grinds in Mesmer - apparently has a similar narrow fit to the M12.
Awesome video as always! My top 3 skates are: 1. Them 909 2. Them 908 3. Razors sl Also, do you have any recommendations on skates fitting similar to Them skates? I would really love to try some other skates but I´m worried about the sizing because Thems fit me perfect.
Hey guys, commenting from the US. So i just came across my old skates from literally like 20 years ago at this point lol. But they’re still a fantastic skate in my opinion. But I’m trying to find some new parts but don’t know if any modern parts are compatible unless i buy second hand. So they’re the Salomon Sti Pro’s. Do you guy’s know of them , can you provide any info? Thanks!
1 - Razor shift 2 - USD carbon free Carlos Bernal (I'm still skating the Ritchie Eisler brown ones so that had to be number 2) 3 - Them Skates 909 as I still use Valo Brandon Smith brown boot. Seeing as I'm in the market for a new skate. Obviously I haven't skated any of these but they are all the skates I would look at buying.
1. RB SK Blank 2. Them 909 3. Razors SL I've not skated any of these skates but based on what I've skated before and what I've heard from you guys and others this would definitely be my top 3 at the moment. Thanks for all you do guys, keep up the great work!
It is difficult to rank these skates because in my point of view it is for everybody different because of the sizing of the skates. If you have slim feet then you will have logically completely another ranking than a person with wider feet. For me as a person with slim feet the ranking is as following: 1. Razors Cult 2. Razors Shift 3. FR AP UFR.
I’m going to have to AGREE with number one. I was just thinking today how great THEM skates are and how they are probably my favourite skate ever. It’s has to be an Intuition liner though. Absolutely amazing. I skate in ankle socks, you couldn’t do that back in the day comfortably.
Top 3 skated and rated!! 1. USD Aeon 60 Lomax - so light and thuddy 2. Roces M12's - slim, stylish, timeless 3. Them Skates 909 BRAIN DEAD - super thuddy, a bit too heavy
1. Them 909, really like the brain dead version 2. USD Aeon 3. Roces M12 I have M12's, got them for the price and have really been enjoying them so far. Saw the Them 909's brain dead collab and loved the look of those things.
I got the same exact model and I skate with them just to go to Walmart and any place that is close by. I hope you are having a similar experience with them.
@@freddiemac5475 absolutely, as a 41 year old father of two who can’t afford hospital bills, they are definitely my cruising skates when skating with my kids that are perfect for when I happen to see that low ledge, curb, bench etc. I don’t even have to be good, because to a 5 year old I’m amazing lmao
1. The new Them 909s,interested to try the newer souls. 2. Aeons as they've always been fun to use for me and it's a way of trying flat without much worry of wheelbite. 3. Razor shifts a lower frame makes it basically effortless to get boot down on groove tricks. Got the Loco Roces M12 as i liked the colour way but didn't think i would like the skate,was really surprised by them,repsonsive and the souls while small slide well. Do any of the new sways coming later in the year come with a 45 degree strap ? keep the videos coming !
1. Blank SK 2. Them 909 3. Roces M12 If I'm lucky enough to win, I don't want my number 1 pick since I'm already skating them... Would love a new pair of Thems though!
1: Razors SL. Hands down the best grinder blade. Loses a little bit on responsiveness and energy transfer when rolling through transitions and getting air. 2: Razors Genesys has all the stiffness that fixes the rolling issues that the SL presents but isn't as good of a grinder blade and I grind more often than air. They're really a kind of joint first depending on usage. 3: Them 908 (size small). I think the flexibility in the lacing area is better than the 909 and the flexibility of the other parts isn't an issue in the small shell size. They have the same kind of responsiveness for rolling transition and airing as the Genesys do but they're the worst grinder blade of the 3 and the parts don't last as long. Honourable mention to Xsjados. Really unique skate, good all-rounder, souls are a little too big and a little slow on grinds and energy transfer isn't great when hucking an air.
1 : Mesmer Bolino 2 : Blank Sean Keane 3 : UFR Anthony Pottier All three skates support pro that deserve their pro status and incomes from the in-line industry (also I like to see new stuff, although I already loved Thrones 20 years ago)
1.seba cj prime 2.Mesmer (cos it’s beautiful!) 3. Then 909 ( as you guys say the fine attention to detail wins it) P.s loveing the videos, gives that friends just talking about what they love vibe. ✌️
Hey guys great video as usual, since coming back after a nearly 20 year break my top 3 skates would be: 1- M12 Lo 2- USD Carbons 3- Gawds Franky Morales 3 Pro Skate being my 3rd choice, I’ve bot skated these but love the look of them. Keep up the great work 👍🏼
1. Them 909 white (just in case I win) 😉 2. Mesmer Throne. For looks 3. Sway 60. Which I got from you new years eve but bought them 1 size too big like an idiot (another hint 😜)
RB trs blank are my daily players! so id vote your rb's first I bet they'd be amazing. thems number 2 I love my 908's Id love to try the new thrones too so I'd give them 3rd I'm skeptical because I splashed out on aeons and hate them. it's nice to see some new players in the list looks like companies are seeing our sports still alive! Finally! I would add lightest Is always a decider for me having a disability makes vanity secondary!
Bought razors cult graphite come back to blades after 22 years they r not expensive and good for grinds i think thanks to wide soulplate just the original wheels are shit had to change them, in 1997 i hade Rollerblade G,,, which i found now on ebay as a Vintage marked which makes me feel old :D
Great vid guys. My top 3. 1. Mesmer Thrones. 2. Rollerblade SK Blanks. 3. USD Aeons (Have the Team XXIs and love them, had to put some sliqx on though)

1(THEM 909)
2(REMZ HR2.5W)
3(ROCES M12 LO)
Those THEMs are pretty sweet man!!
1 The Aeons. They have really caught my eye as someone who is looking to get back into it this coming season. Great video lads very informative.
As someone who went from SLs to Aeons, do it, such an amazing all around skate.
@@Crook3d_GT how are the stock wheels on harder roads? I gotta skate hard roads to get to my good spots I need something that doesn't rock my feet to death lol
@@solarpanel8195 I havent tried them just cruising tbh only parks and spots, I have my 3x110s for that! 😄
1 Razor sl- 2 razor cult - usd aeon .. love thrones!! the Mesmer may be the same boot but feel nothing like a throne they are built very well an look amazing though . It’s an impossible task to put skates in a list 1-10 . If I were skating a ledge I would probably go with my cults . Handrails or coped box’s SL , ramp aeons fast an light . All skates do it all though ..
As someone who started on cults, no, just no... SLs are a huge step up and Aeons are better than both imo.
One of the skates that really got me excited was the RB blank, so my top 3 would be like
1.- RB Blank
2.- USD Shadow Eugen Enin
3.- FR UFR
Idk if I'm going to win, but thanks for all the things that you are doing
Interesting top 10 but no love for the Razors Shift this time around? I wish I could get on with the 909's but the sizing doesn't work for me and my old bones need a decent shock absorber. Top 3 for me would be:
1. Razors Shift
2. Razors SL
3. Mesmer Throne
1.Mesmer
2.909
3. M12
I like your reviews and your rankings.
I think you can‘t go wrong with any of the shown Skates.
Here are my top 3
1. Seba CJ2 Prime
2. Rollerblade Blank SK
3. Gawds Tim Franken Pro
Cheers
Maik
1. THEM 909 Pat Ridders
2. RB Blank SK
3. FR UFR (Pottier)
I feel you about the being vain part. I have hard time skating boots that I don't jive with the looks. These 3 skates share quite a lot of similarities and I think they're definitely the most represented skates current. Pat Ridder 909's are definitely next on my list as I want a proper pair of intuition liners and finally try the small version of the 909 shell. The RB Blank liner is nice, but I'm curious to see how the intuition liner performs compared to it.
My non-aggressive skates are Seba CJ, so intuition has always been on my radar, just haven't really had an opportunity or reason to get one quite yet. Nice video!
I used to skate almost 20 years ago and want to buy a pair of skates again. I loved Razors and want to buy another pair! What is the difference between the Cult, shift, genesis and SL?
1-Them skates/pat ridder.
2-Fr Potter skates.
3-Kaltik K skate (curve ball)
1-
**them skates**
I agree with Jake.. I'm trying not to be a fan boy. But the them hardware design and cuff adjustability is amazing for a stock boot.
I finally found a boot that fits me perfectly after 20 years of skating. The downside is that the sizes seem a bit out.. I'm a UK 10.5 and fit in the medium 909 shell with the intuition.
It would be nice to have one from new though. I've had to buy the last two shells 2nd hand due to family commitments.. You could probably tell from my loco account 😂 it's all parts for skates.
I can't warrant £300 for the newer models.
Do you guys think that there would be a chance to buy the shells only without the liners?
Oh and also Jon is using the money from the boot sales to really bring newcomers to the sport. Look how we'll he has done with the street contests, Billboards, features in magazines, one of the first to up the royalties/wages for riders.. And not forgetting the comunit-e boots.
More profits from the boots going into passion projects.
2-
**FR skates**
It's nice to see pottier to finally get a pro model. It's well deserved.
Amazing value for money for the whole boot option. Nearly £200 cheaper than the them models.
Shame the full boot setup didn't come with the intuition.. However a metal frame 8x 65mm wheels. Still a great deal.
It seems like a great boot to enjoy the feeling of rolling along at high-speed but still having the capability to stop off at a skatepark on the way home.
I would of loved to of seen the team review the frame though.
3-
**Kaltik K junior skates**
I have to say the build quality on these is incredible. The fact that my daughter can have a UFS skate that doesn't weigh a ton. It isnt bulky. And the closure/buckle system works amazingly well.
I have recommended these to a few parents that have asked where I got my daughter her skates.
The new colourways are quite appealing too.
It's nice to see fabiola finally get a pro model...shame it wasnt a model she could actually skate though.
I have wondered if they were to make these in adult sizes if they would be popular.
For anyone that is thinking about starting in the sport.
The USD Aeon/Sway are great boots.. Even though they can be looked upon as a entry model. RUclips "nick lomax" or" Richie eisler" they rock aeons. And nick is probably one of the best people to watch on RUclips right now for his videos.
Be wary of buying the sway model from decathlon or sports/soccer etc.
The soul plates are riveted to the boot and aren't as easy to replace as the models that loco sells.
I'm in two rollerblading groups at the moment with skaters ranging from 14 all the way up to early 50s.. The most common boots within the group are..
Them skates
USD sways
USD Aeons
Roces M12s
Roces 5ths
Seba CJ Carbons
Thanks again guys..
Still would love a review on the Flat frame 😂 now knowing you not anti rocker skaters anymore.
Also if anyone else reads past this point and has any questions.. Join the UKBC (united kingdom blader community) on Facebook for the biggest group of Rollerbladers that are more than happy to answer questions or a place to meet other locals to skate with..
3. USD Aeon, Loco version (my current skate)
2. Roces M12 (had a pair 20 years ago, would love to ride them again. nostalgia vote)
1. THEM 909 (dream skate!)
i love roces m12, but they have relly problematic liners. i preffer to use them with myfit recall
my top2 would be usd sway, but they are a little wide.
and honestly if i had money then i would 100% go for fr ufr intuition, i love all about it. i would get nn ronin for it too and would be the only pair i would be skating, just with different frames
1.them 909
2.fr ufr ap

1. 🟤🟤🟤🟤

Them, Mesmer, blank 👌
Great video. Contents on point.
For my it would have to be…

3. Rollerblade blanks
(loved my treseder’s from back in the day)
Them 909 are soo awesome i buy this shxt yesterday im so happy
I've only skates æons because that's all I could afford.
The next two choices were mesmers and m12.
But realistically, the best skate is the one you skate the most. Even if they are bad skates, if that's what you got, that's the best skate.
More great content guys!
My top 3:
1. Adapt Brutale
2. Them 909 (I'd like to win these please 👍🤪)
3. Razors SL
1. Rollerblade blank

1 Them 909 Pat Ridder
2 USD Aeon Lomax
3 USD Carbon Frees
Look good, feel good.
The first bite is with the eye
Wow, guys! Great video. Keep it up. Proud of you!
1. Mesmer Bolino
2. Them 909
3. Roces 5th Element
Great review guys, I actually got a pair of USD carbons 2 years ago based on a similar review that u guys did at that time. My choices are: 1 - Gawds Tim Franken, 2 - THEM 909, 3 - Probably not mentioned here but USD Carlos Bernal carbon free. Cheers
My top 3:
1. Roces m12 (Nils Janson)- I love the M12, once you break them in it feels like your just in shoes, my grinds are sharp and controllable especially when you have square rails. I feel like im over the rail much more than on the 5th elements. though I lock in on the negative I can't hold it long (off course its me not the skate)
2. Roces 5th element - 2nd place reason being that I use the m12 for everyday usage and park, the 5th element I use more when Im on street and want to be a bit more lazy and try new things however, unfortunately I think they are a bit bulky and seriously thinking about moving to THEM. Though, they feel excellent for a bulky skate I thought they will be more similar to a KHUTI.
3. THEM - I love the design, the make and feel of the skate I actually have the frames in my M12's. THEM though looks like a bulky skate feels more like an m12 however the inside (negative) is easier to have fun with. Definitely my next skate!
1. The mesmer (not tried these!)
2. Roces Fifth Element
3. UFR completes
Keep up the great new content lads!
Great deep reviews as the last couple videos. I love it. I could binge watch it. 😆
My top 3 would be:
1. Razors Cult Allstar
2. Roces M12
3. FR UFR AP
Cheer’s!
1. Razors shift
2. Usd Carbon
3. Roces 5element
This video is sooo unprofessional.... where are the suits?
You guys have the best skate review content out there IMO.
1) Razors SL Henderson 2
2) Mesmer Bolino Pro
3) 909 Ridder
Lotta great info in this video! Been looking to get back into aggressive inline recently and this gave me a good place to start. Since I havent tried any skates since the early 2000's heres my top 3 of skates i'd like to try.
1. Mesmer Thrones
2. Razor Cult
3. USD Gawds
razors for me please!!!! also the RB are very good skates!!!
Hi guys love your content keep it up.
1. Them 909’s
2. Roces m12
3. Mesmer throne
Absolutely getting in on this. I have a bloomin' CHILD arriving imminently and can't justify buying myself new toys. That's my pointless play for sympathy in this random giveaway. My skate votes:
1. 909 Ridders. Haven't skated them but, y'know, I want to.
2. 908 CommunitE. Surprised how much use I've got outta these. I think they look great.
3. M12 Chestnuts. Will always love M12s. These are beauts.
Great review, keep up the good work. Here is my input:
1. THEM 909 - White (2022) + Intuition Skate Premium Liner
2. USD Carbon Free (all of them)
3. Usd Aeon 60 Nick Lomax - Grey
Hello, my pat ridders have the best comfort out of all of my skates. I must admit though since I replaced my frames with oysi mediums on my razor shift greys the speed and control with my grinds are super easy. Also if we were talking about what is the best skates that I own? I'm going to say my 2004 rob thompson salomons with oysi mediums 68mm outer famus and 60mm inner famus wheels reds bearings, roces RL1 liners. I have the wide body soul plates on these and one way I test to see if royales are easy or not is trying it on a low rail or box. These feel like salomans but with a touch of USD aeons because of the frame 😅 Also my lomax greys aeons are really nice because of the 2nd skin liners make them super comfy but I threw away those lace hooks and replaced it with a 45 strap 👍
So interesting to hear you talk about raised heel. I used to skate years ago and could never ride fattys as they alway made me feel like I was falling back. I bought a pair of Roces GRAAL to get back into skating and regretted it from day one as they felt like fattys.
USD. THEY LOOK VERY NICE 👍

Thank you!
Also i love when you say GORDS
Only ever skated 3 aggressive skates and one was a second hand classic throne which A) is not on the market any more and B) did not fit me at all. So, with that being said, my top 3 are…
3) THEM 909s - I’ve not had a chance to skate them yet, so I can’t really put them any higher than this, but this is deffo the skate I want next. I’ve heard nothing but good things about the way they ride, and I just love the company and the team and everything they’ve done for skating. Plus they have some of the most interesting designs on the market.
2) The USD Aeon - I really want to love this skate more than I do. I’ve only been skating for a year, and the MASSIVE soul plate and wide groove is perfect for a beginner. Plus the pink bladies skate (the one I have) is beautiful. But I’ve never quite got it to fit 100% right - it gave me terrible inner ankle pain, which I’ve read a lot of other people have struggled with. Cutting some of the plastic off has helped, but the liner does just still feel kinda sloppy and doesn’t hold my foot in well in some places, while being too tight in others. Plus, the hardware comes loose really easily, which I’ve seen other people complain about.
1) Roces M12 - I got a pair of these second hand and despite being too big for me by like a full size, I still loved them. Such a simple, beautiful looking boot, not to mention that the domestic punk is, for my money, the most beautiful design on the market. They fit so well and so simply with their genius memory buckle. And even as a beginner, the soul plate locks really well while being narrow enough to avoid looking like your feet are being attacked by space invaders.
Much love Loco for supplying me and entertaining me through my first year of skating xx
1. Blank SK
2. USD Sway Farmer
3. USD Nick Lomax Aeons
Rollerblade skates are made to such a ridiculous quality standard it's a no brainer for me. I did own Thems and they are also incredibly well made but I hate narrow plates cause I'm bad at locking in my grinds. With the new plate might be worth a revisit
Ive not tried 3 skates on the list so cant really make proper one. (Low / medioker rider)
Blank and Them looks very interesting, seems so be quality skates, would love to try any of them some day.
1. Salom st8: Not around anymore but my all time favorite skate, the small soulplate is the only reason why i dont skate them today.
2. USD Aeon: Feels like a more premium skate over the VII, very light and feels tight. Not so much time spent with them but felt very good the times i used them.
3. USD VII: My current skate, Love the large soulplate, decent liner, the boot is a bit too wide for me so they feel a bit sloppy. Want to try them with flat setup since i ride mostly bowl today.
Skated the K2 Front Street, Stiff but great skate love them and still skate them. Currently have the FR Skates UFR Pottier Street but with 80mm ground control frames which are great for non-park skating.
Current top three wish list
1. USD Shadow
2. Razors SL Henderson 2 Pro
3.Them Skates Marius Gaile Pro 909
I still have my Salomon pro Aaron feinbergs, Salomon st90’s in black and a set of first edition roces fifth elements in red. Love a set of those new roces m12’s 👌👌
1. RB SK because of the quality, never had a hot spot yet. And it fits my feet exactly. I like the fact that it comes with anti rockers as well.
2. 909 with intuition liner. It’s comfortable, I get a hot spot on the side of my feet when I ride them too long.
3. USD shadow Eugen Enin. Fits like a shoe. Very unique skate. Felt odd at first because of how high the heal pad is. But you get use to it after a while.
I would have put the Razors SL on this list but I keep losing screws. And if I tighten them it’s pretty hard not to strip the bolt. But other than that the reign liner v3 is perfect for it and it’s a bendy/flexy skate just like the Shadows in my opinion.
Some great skates in there. My choice:
1. Seba CJ Wellsmore (any version, but the Carbon if I had to choose)
Others I haven't tried but which look very tempting:
2. Them 909
3. RB SK Blank
Honourable mention to the Kaltik K skate for kids.
Top 3 Skates ive skated and love ;
1. Them 909 (Braindead)
2. Roces Fifth Element
3. K2 Fatty Pro
Nice - although I find best a tough one to define.. As like you I go off looks rather than specs, plus i love 909s but they dont fit me well.
1. Mesmer Bolino
2. USD Lomax Aeon
3. Roces 5th Element
The m12 shell is an adapted freeskate to aggressive skate right? ✌️ Also, not in it’s current iteration but the blank was a freeskate (solo) when you removed the soul plates, that one’s a reach I know! 😂
K, one more haha. The cult also has a freestyle version as an impala! That’s it, I’m done!
Oh no another musing, the ‘them’ has gone the other way too, with its new freestyle frame and 80mm setup
Good point!
@@LocoSkates haha got there in the end
1. Them Pat Ridder
2. USD Carbon Free
3. Gawds FM 3.
I would put USD Carbon boot 1, but you don’t have it available.
Great video like always! 🙌
My top 3 is
1 USD Aeon(with myfit 2nd skin liner)
2 Mesmer Throne
3 FR UFR
based on size EU40-41
Still stuck on Xsjados cos everything else seems to hurt my feet lol, but I really want to try: Them 909, Mesmer Bolino, Razors SL
1 - THEM 909 “WHITE” (best looking and best company imo and will be next pair of skates)
2 - USD AEON CROFTS (current/only skate ridden, love the color and feel of skate)
3 - ROCES M12 LO “chestnut” - such a unique color way and love the idea of the lowered cuff!
I only got back into skating last year and have only rode the Sam Croft Aeons and love them so far, no complaint but my 1 and 3 choices would be my next two pairs if I could just got get all my dreams skates right now!
Loved this video and always great content! 🤙🏽
(Finger crossed to win some White 909s) 🤞🏽
Whohoo ... No CJ2 Prime? 🙄.
1. Seba CJ 2 Prime - Quality, fit, look, concept, no break in time - I love this skates.
Just two nice setups I would recommend for CJ2 Boot. both are flat street setups, able to grind concrete ledges and more:
-Oysi medium with 90a 65mm / 95a 58mm (no soulplate mod required - fits out of the box, close to no wheelbite)
-Oysi medium with 90a 68mm / UNDERCOVER Team Wheels 59mm/90A (bullet profile "grindwheels" ;-), minimal soul mod required. Even forcing a wheelbite is a real task. They skate fast and handle bad surfaces pretty well. The the wheels 2 and 3 last a long time in this configuration)
2. Marry Munoz Aeon - the best Aeon out of the box. It has nearly all mods, I would do myself. Metalbuckle, 45° Buckle. even a reflective stripe on the back.
But the skate cries for Sliqx or a selfmade HQ-hard plastic soulplate mod. USD will certainly change the Aeon (soul-)material at some point in the future. They know about this Issue.
3. The USD Sway - great price and skates well. The perfekt 2nd Skate for Aeon owners to get an cheap UFS option. This skate is a great recommendation to people who would like to test whether aggressive is (still) something for them. And you can also build a nice freeride skate out of it. The options and quality at the given price point are in my opinion unbeatable when viewed soberly.
... Why no Thems? I love Them as a Brand/Company - but right now the Skates are not in my Top 3. Still a "young" concept and they will improve. But viewed objectively, the 909 skate has some flaws to me, so that there are better ones. However, Them is a great company that should be supported if possible. And I hope to be able to do so very soon. They are really good for our sport and culture.
The Zoom was die Playlife - Brinx! Great video and list!
My list would be:
10. Razors Shift
9. Trigger Jeff Dalnas Pro
8. Razors Cult
7. Them 909
6. USD Sway
5. Rollerblade SK Blank
4. FR UFR
--------------
3. Roces M12
2. Razors SL
1. USD Aeon
Other then those I still absolutely love my Salomons!
You should do a best boots all time, possible best frame current and all time and so on.
Really enjoying these longer video
My current top 3:
Mesmer
THEM
Cults
But I always go back to my Salomon's nothing feels as good as they do in my opinion.
Best boots of all time would be a good one! I think that could cause a lot of arguments!
Newer to blading so I have only been rocking the Them 908 Communit-E's for the past year, so I'd count my input invalid.
However, based on comparing my skate style with reviews, yours and others, and as well as looks, my top 3 would be:
1. FR AP (Really like the looks, and I've been curious on freestyle boots)
2. USD Aeon (I feel I would enjoy these right off the get go)
2. Them 909 (I would love to try the new soul plate and compare it to the v1 plate)
I know I'm almost a year late but after watching the video I would have to say.
1: The USD SWAY I love the way it feels this is my 2nd skate and since I've made the purchase my other skates have been boxed.
2: The Razors Cult. I started aggressive inline on these and for the price it's really a great beginner skate. I purchased the V2 in white and I couldn't have been happier. Loved the anti-rocker setup until I brought the aforementioned Sways.
3: I would have to say just off of looks alone the Eugen Enin Shadows. Although I have no experience this skate is definitely my next purchase.
And finally for my thoughts
4: The Roces M12 I brought these for my wife and did NOT like the weight of them as they are extremely heavy especially for such a narrow boot. I have a bigger foot and none of Mines feel as heavy as the Roces M12.
Daaamn all skates looks and works great! I think that Inline skating is coming back to top sports again:) Myself in age of 37 started skating again after almost 25 years off (whaaat!?:) but man it is still so cool and fun to grind rails, boxes, ledges!:) Now I ride on oldschool Rollerblade TRS Alpha (in 90s I rode in Roces m12) and they're really cool skates, but maybe little big and heavy. I was thinking about changing gear but it's really hard to pick one new pair :)
3. Blue M12 Loco looks really nice (i really enjoyed them in 90s)
2. Them are cool, really well thought and theeem Jon Julio! ;)
1. Mesmer & Blank SK - these two pairs - ahh man so classic but in new fresh version bring back memories from old good times. Black on black in SK made them look like a pair with the power from hell hehe, but Mesmer's design is realy stylish and on point.
It's really cool to see that inline skating is still alive and it's doing well! Thanks Loco for all your support for the community and skaters. Real skaters never die! :) Love from Poland! 🌅🖖
1. RB SK
2. FR Pottier
3. Gawds Tim Franken
I struggle with sizing on most skates as I’m between sizes. The 909s are great looking skates but I’m between size M and L. M12s are probably my favourite skate for fit and weight but I get really bad pressure points on the outside edge of my foot when grinding in them. Right now I’m on Salomon ST80s which are almost perfect, except when trying to do royales one them with Sola frames and 36 year old knees…
My top 3:
1 U-FR Anthony Pottier (I'm biased as I'm rolling them and loving them)
2 USD Shadows Eugen Enin (always loved my Xsjado's/Shadows)
3 Rollerblade Blanks (haven't skated them but they look pure quality!)
3. Razors SL My current setup Classic Red!
2. Mesmer Bolino Return and improved classic
1. Them 909 MOO0OPI All the 909's are reliable. Its seems like they can work for anyone with the right setup, The Moooopi is the most Aesthetically pleasing out of the 909's imho
I would like to win one and do more tricks on them
1. Them 909 Moopies with intuition liners
2. FR AP
3. Roces M12
Hello there, my name is Chanel Donahue. I was scrolling on RUclips trying to educate myself and I discovered your channel (freaking neat btw, keep up the good work). I am reaching out to you, and your subscribers because I couldn’t find a video with your top 10 aggressive inline blades.. for women. With the cost, and the vision I have for myself, it is extremely important that I execute this purchase to the best of my ability, while utilizing all resources (you). As far as my experience goes I would say I am advanced. In fact, I know I am advance when it comes to speed, having a competitive outlook on everything I do (excelling brings me joy) and constantly curious as to how far I can push myself physically and mentally. I can (and do) haul ass (even whip myself around gracefully to skate backwards while doing so) cut sharp corners, my balance is superb and because I’m extremely in tuned with my person and mind, I am not afraid to get hurt, to take chances and I would consider myself fearless (in comparison to most women my age, that I’ve encountered anyway). With that being said I’m ready to venture into aggressive skating with full force…I’ve been ready for a long long time and I’m confident I will thrive in that category. I’m 30 years old, 5”1 and I have narrow feet with beautiful high arches (I had to haha). If you’ve gotten thus far into me describing myself (a tad bit too much, however it is important). I appreciate y’all taking the time to do so. I am interested to hear your thoughts! Have a great day dude.. guys…
1 - Them 909
2 - M12 (skated these for years and they are almost unbeatable in every aspect)
3 - Razor Cults (loved my razors back in the day, this is the closest you will get to Superflats which I loved dearly)
4 - Mesmer - never actually skated the old Thrones, so this is more an aspiration to tick off the list one day
Maybe do an all time video including old school skates? I always loved my K2 Fattys. All brown skates will also forever be eclipsed by RB Chocolates, was in love with my pair, the best shade of brown ever (although let’s not mention the soul kits)
1. Them Skates 909
- The most comfortable skates, looks good so it makes you feel good, landing great grinds
2. Rollerblade Sean Keane - Took them time to release this technical created skates.
3. Razors SL's - Great boot for wide feet, low to the ground, makes difficult grinds feel super easy
Good luck to everyone! Thank you LocoSkates! Awesome content as always. Big support from Cali!
For the moment I have roces M12 and really like that shell, but I want to try new Them 909 with new souls, because I had Them 908 in wrong size and I didn't so happy with that set..
My top 3:
1. Roces M12
2. K2 Unnatural 😅
3. Them 909 Marius Gaile Pro
Looking at buying some Roces M12 UFS, M12 Lo, or the Rollerblade SKs. I wear a US size 10.5 shoe. I heard Roces run small and I’ve seen people suggest buying one or two sizes larger than your shoes. What size would you recommend for M12’s or the SK’s?
My top 3 are
1: Roces M12
2:Them 909
3:USD Sway
The sway is at number 3 for me because of how accessible it is. This was my first skate getting into the world of aggressive skating and i dont think theres any other skate i would’ve preferred to start in. Great entry price, solid quality, all around a solid first skate.
I haven’t tried the 909s too much but from the short time wore them they were fantastic. I think if i had a bit more time with them they’d be my number 1.
The M12 is my favorite skate for alot of reasons. Its slick design, its compact shape and feel, its nice and tight fit, etc. Ive only had one pair and ive skated them down to the bone but I absolutely love the M12s.
Great video! My votes for top 3:
1. Them 909 (haven't skated them yet, but will be my next purchase)
2. Mesmer throne (haven't skated them yet)
3. USD Aeon (my current skates, with intuition liners, amazing)
About your videos, don't care about what they say about you, I think you are OK 😀 at the end of the day, your videos are all about your opinions and how you see each product.
keep doing a good job guys
My top 3
RB Blank ( looks wonderful )
Them 909 Pat Ridder
USD Shadow Enin
Difficult decision definitely. Mine would be:
1. FR AP UFR (w intuition)
2. Pat Ridder 909
3. Razor Shifts
Sad the razor shifts didn’t get on the leaderboard. The IFC does open a whole of skating options haha.
I haven't skated any aggresive skates haha......BUTT I'd be more inclined towards:
M12 - because of the price and the narrow fit for my small feet and ankles. (also looks great)
USD Sway - for the quality to price ratio also because apparently it's easy to learn grinds in
Mesmer - apparently has a similar narrow fit to the M12.
Awesome video as always!
My top 3 skates are:
1. Them 909
2. Them 908
3. Razors sl
Also, do you have any recommendations on skates fitting similar to Them skates?
I would really love to try some other skates but I´m worried about the sizing because Thems fit me perfect.
Hey guys, commenting from the US. So i just came across my old skates from literally like 20 years ago at this point lol. But they’re still a fantastic skate in my opinion. But I’m trying to find some new parts but don’t know if any modern parts are compatible unless i buy second hand. So they’re the Salomon Sti Pro’s. Do you guy’s know of them , can you provide any info? Thanks!
1 - Razor shift
2 - USD carbon free Carlos Bernal (I'm still skating the Ritchie Eisler brown ones so that had to be number 2)
3 - Them Skates 909 as I still use Valo Brandon Smith brown boot. Seeing as I'm in the market for a new skate. Obviously I haven't skated any of these but they are all the skates I would look at buying.
1. RB SK Blank
2. Them 909
3. Razors SL
I've not skated any of these skates but based on what I've skated before and what I've heard from you guys and others this would definitely be my top 3 at the moment.
Thanks for all you do guys, keep up the great work!
It is difficult to rank these skates because in my point of view it is for everybody different because of the sizing of the skates. If you have slim feet then you will have logically completely another ranking than a person with wider feet. For me as a person with slim feet the ranking is as following: 1. Razors Cult 2. Razors Shift 3. FR AP UFR.
I’m going to have to AGREE with number one.
I was just thinking today how great THEM skates are and how they are probably my favourite skate ever.
It’s has to be an Intuition liner though. Absolutely amazing. I skate in ankle socks, you couldn’t do that back in the day comfortably.
Top 3 skated and rated!!
1. USD Aeon 60 Lomax - so light and thuddy
2. Roces M12's - slim, stylish, timeless
3. Them Skates 909 BRAIN DEAD - super thuddy, a bit too heavy
1. Them 909, really like the brain dead version
2. USD Aeon
3. Roces M12
I have M12's, got them for the price and have really been enjoying them so far. Saw the Them 909's brain dead collab and loved the look of those things.
I just ordered a pair of the USD Sway Allstar 2000. The specs for the price point were amazing, and the colors are pretty nostalgic
I got the same exact model and I skate with them just to go to Walmart and any place that is close by. I hope you are having a similar experience with them.
@@freddiemac5475 absolutely, as a 41 year old father of two who can’t afford hospital bills, they are definitely my cruising skates when skating with my kids that are perfect for when I happen to see that low ledge, curb, bench etc. I don’t even have to be good, because to a 5 year old I’m amazing lmao
@@robertwest4299 couldn't agree more I'm 34 with 2 girls that blade. Keep shredding on those polyurethane horses.
1. The new Them 909s,interested to try the newer souls.
2. Aeons as they've always been fun to use for me and it's a way of trying flat without much worry of wheelbite.
3. Razor shifts a lower frame makes it basically effortless to get boot down on groove tricks.
Got the Loco Roces M12 as i liked the colour way but didn't think i would like the skate,was really surprised by them,repsonsive and the souls while small slide well.
Do any of the new sways coming later in the year come with a 45 degree strap ? keep the videos coming !
1. Blank SK
2. Them 909
3. Roces M12
If I'm lucky enough to win, I don't want my number 1 pick since I'm already skating them... Would love a new pair of Thems though!
1: Razors SL. Hands down the best grinder blade. Loses a little bit on responsiveness and energy transfer when rolling through transitions and getting air.
2: Razors Genesys has all the stiffness that fixes the rolling issues that the SL presents but isn't as good of a grinder blade and I grind more often than air. They're really a kind of joint first depending on usage.
3: Them 908 (size small). I think the flexibility in the lacing area is better than the 909 and the flexibility of the other parts isn't an issue in the small shell size.
They have the same kind of responsiveness for rolling transition and airing as the Genesys do but they're the worst grinder blade of the 3 and the parts don't last as long.
Honourable mention to Xsjados. Really unique skate, good all-rounder, souls are a little too big and a little slow on grinds and energy transfer isn't great when hucking an air.
1 : Mesmer Bolino 2 : Blank Sean Keane 3 : UFR Anthony Pottier
All three skates support pro that deserve their pro status and incomes from the in-line industry (also I like to see new stuff, although I already loved Thrones 20 years ago)
1.seba cj prime
2.Mesmer (cos it’s beautiful!)
3. Then 909 ( as you guys say the fine attention to detail wins it)
P.s loveing the videos, gives that friends just talking about what they love vibe. ✌️
Hey guys great video as usual, since coming back after a nearly 20 year break my top 3 skates would be:
1- M12 Lo
2- USD Carbons
3- Gawds Franky Morales 3 Pro Skate being my 3rd choice, I’ve bot skated these but love the look of them.
Keep up the great work 👍🏼
1. Them 909 white (just in case I win) 😉
2. Mesmer Throne. For looks
3. Sway 60. Which I got from you new years eve but bought them 1 size too big like an idiot (another hint 😜)
RB trs blank are my daily players! so id vote your rb's first I bet they'd be amazing. thems number 2 I love my 908's Id love to try the new thrones too so I'd give them 3rd I'm skeptical because I splashed out on aeons and hate them. it's nice to see some new players in the list looks like companies are seeing our sports still alive! Finally! I would add lightest Is always a decider for me having a disability makes vanity secondary!
Bought razors cult graphite come back to blades after 22 years they r not expensive and good for grinds i think thanks to wide soulplate just the original wheels are shit had to change them, in 1997 i hade Rollerblade G,,, which i found now on ebay as a Vintage marked which makes me feel old :D
Great vid guys. My top 3.
1. Mesmer Thrones.
2. Rollerblade SK Blanks.
3. USD Aeons (Have the Team XXIs and love them, had to put some sliqx on though)
