I’m a huge fan of the Aeon 60s - Awesome skate!!! No.1 spot for sure 👌🏻 After that I like the Roces m12 lo for their simplicity and old school feel. Pretty good set up right out of the box too at a good price. Next would be the them skates, anti rocker set up with featherlight frames and some dead wheels 👍🏻 After that the USD carbon free, Valo TV natural Hemp and finally Gawds franky Morales as they look awesome and top quality components but never skated them
Used to have K2 Fatty's back in the day talking early 90's. Just picked up a pair of Rollerblade NJ5's hoping it comes back like riding a bike, it's been a while.
38 here. Stopped blading when I was 21. Last year, I picked up a pair of recreational blades just to get the basics back and after a year of hitting the asfalt 5-6 times a month I am ready to make the jump.
Man it's nice to see the shift2 in the #1 spot, I'm so torn between the shift 2 and a pair of m12 lo. May have to get the razors simply because I was a reign fanboy back in the day. Also that fat soul plate will be nice since I haven't skated in quite a few years
What do you think about cult razors ? bought them as i started again after 20 years, like em cuz of good price and wide soulplate... as for beginner again :D
Roces FTW. Ive been skating on M12's since 96. My 96 M12's still decent to say they've had a hard life. My second pair of M12's are the oli short's. Newer and UFS but still have the classic M12 feel. Cant wait to try out some new M12 Lo.
Lol I have to agree with you. At first I wanted some roces. Then I was really stuck on the shift2, still am, the look down being similar to cults, but with a much bigger soul and the return of the reign liner just makes the skate sexy. But now I'm really considering the lomax aeon
I have been given a pair of roces with a spring brake (not a one with the block of rubber on the back) I have removed the the metal brake pad but it still moves back . Is their any what to stop it moving back ?
Mate K2 not in your favorites o.0? ? Is that because its not in your store? K2 Unnatural Its amazing By the way 36 Y.O. with nice background in agressive looks like I get back soon slowwww thank you
I ride the USD 7's. I feel that they are the best skates. In my opinion . I also like the Aeons too but the best skate of all time are the Throne's. I've been in the skate game since 1994. So know a thing or two about what's makes a good skate.
Anyone know where the nearest inline skate store is located near Arkansas? Willing to travel a bit but tired of ordering skates online that are subpar... Need to try several on before I buy
Yo what advice would you give to someone who doesn't have many/any people to skate with? I'm stuck and can't seem to learn anything new and my other hobbies are kinda taking up some of the space skating had over the last year or so..so any advice would be super appreciated. I love skating so much and don't want to lose it out to other stuff. Sincerely, the intermediate athlete. lol
Embrace the solo session =) Whilst it may not be as fun as skating with friends, I often prefer it, as your session doesn't depend on the reliability of others. Also, you can still share your adventures/progression and interact with other rollerbladers online by posting clips, edits, v-logs etc.
Thanks. I actually started to do just that via here and instagram and have started a podcast on my channel kinda chronicling my progress. Take a listen sometime and let me know what you think! Thanks for the help
Well, its not impossible, but agressive skates are heavier than hockey skates, and the wheels are smaller, so you will be slower. And hockey skates have room for protective gear.
If you remove m12 and shift from this list then I could agree. SL are better than shifts. All that fast frame swap system is BS , m12 have very old shell that holds ankle very bad and undersised , tiny tiny 42. Aeon and SL for the winner
Great... to be fair we were just trying to make an easy-to-swallow guide. There's so many great skates out there and each one appeals to a different person in a different way.
Matthew Hubbard You can still buy them on inlineskates.com which is the only website I see them on with mostly every size available and they are on sale!
No classic thrones w juice system lol sorry list . best grey usd classic 00 team thrones black cuff black backslide plate white juice system white 50 50 ufs frames like latimer or shima in coup de tat I had that set up at that time and made it when ufs came out. Be a og kids. Get classic thrones maybe same cut I described but black boot like rachard had shout out urs tron
Habeev07, YOU are the one who appears to be trolling, with your immature potty-mouth response. Salomon's aggressive boots are still highly sought after, even after years of being out of production, due to their superior build quality. And since the hugely popular Valo skates were made by Roces, and used by some of the best bladers in the world, I think referring to them as 'literally the worst on the market' is an incredibly ill-founded statement.
Habeev07 solemon and roces were the market leaders at the time. How little you know about the history of skating. Stick to your grinding wheels and massive sole plates haha
Armoured Rat I know lots of people that rave about the and wouldn't skate anything else, but I like the USD and Seba aggressives. Much more my style... Probably from skating Bauer hockey inline and ice skates for years. Then I went for carbon fibre skates as I loved how stiff they were, like the Bauer
Guys can you tell me what do you think about California Pro Posion II? I want to buy aggressive skates but not sure which one.. I dont have money for some too expensive.. Also I heard that guys have anti-rocker because regular frame is sticky on grind, is it that bad?
Jet set radio future got me into skating
🙌🏽I’m living the same story. We are the GGs.
I still rock my original K2’s from 2001, just got my daughter her first pair and she’s starting to hit rails just like her dad.
I’m a huge fan of the Aeon 60s - Awesome skate!!! No.1 spot for sure 👌🏻

I still have my Salomon ST90's Aaron Feinberg's from year 2000. I definitely need new skates. The Razor SL Mints look dope.
I had some ST8s and my brother had the 9s - don't know if they still stored somewhere! Can't believe the Roces 5th Element are still a current model
Used to have K2 Fatty's back in the day talking early 90's. Just picked up a pair of Rollerblade NJ5's hoping it comes back like riding a bike, it's been a while.
I don't skate aggressive anymore so I'm after more speed, torn between the Razor Cosmo or USD Aeon 80's 🤔 any advice?
What did you get
I havent had a pair in over 20 years since high school. definitely want to get a new pair this year see if im too old.
Im 29 mate skated when i was 13, my friends 31 were both getting skates this week for the same reason, go for it! You only live once!
I started again last year... I am 35 now... Didnt skate for 15 years and I am loving it! Hope you bought a pair!
I'm 37 skated every day as a teen. Just bought some NJ5's cant wait to ramp up again show my little girl how crazy daddy was lol
38 here. Stopped blading when I was 21. Last year, I picked up a pair of recreational blades just to get the basics back and after a year of hitting the asfalt 5-6 times a month I am ready to make the jump.
Rollerblades, roces and k2 are the ones i own
Man it's nice to see the shift2 in the #1 spot, I'm so torn between the shift 2 and a pair of m12 lo.
May have to get the razors simply because I was a reign fanboy back in the day. Also that fat soul plate will be nice since I haven't skated in quite a few years
Used to love the daytonas back in the day!
Same
I got them right when they dropped
What do you think about cult razors ? bought them as i started again after 20 years, like em cuz of good price and wide soulplate... as for beginner again :D
Ty for the video, this shop is a dream! Looks incredible

Getting back 2 skating after 10 yes thinking about rb new Jack's or usd sway 3
Lol I have to agree with you. At first I wanted some roces. Then I was really stuck on the shift2, still am, the look down being similar to cults, but with a much bigger soul and the return of the reign liner just makes the skate sexy. But now I'm really considering the lomax aeon
I'm considering those three skates too. Did you make a decision yet?
Hey im looking for skates with a freestyle frame or for street rails what should i look for or get
I have been given a pair of roces with a spring brake (not a one with the block of rubber on the back) I have removed the the metal brake pad but it still moves back . Is their any what to stop it moving back ?
No sl3???!
For the short life of Them skates. They are popular. Getting those 909’s.
People, what do you think about agressive skates "k2" ? Im thinking to buy those and i dont know if i must
Mate K2 not in your favorites o.0? ? Is that because its not in your store? K2 Unnatural Its amazing
By the way 36 Y.O. with nice background in agressive looks like I get back soon slowwww thank you
F A We stock lots of K2 skates, their aggressive model is not too 5 though!
My favorites are modded remz for the look ( the mods are to me razor cuff and liner and custom made front soulplates ) and razors gens or shima
CJs/SX! Love them
I ride the USD 7's. I feel that they are the best skates. In my opinion . I also like the Aeons too but the best skate of all time are the Throne's. I've been in the skate game since 1994. So know a thing or two about what's makes a good skate.
Is there a way to get a wider soul plate on the Razors cult
try clearing a 35 ft cape with those
Have 4 pair of them coming cant wait.
Good point. Hard to fit all the models in and the Shift is quite similar so we left them out.
Anyone know where the nearest inline skate store is located near Arkansas? Willing to travel a bit but tired of ordering skates online that are subpar... Need to try several on before I buy
Do you have any reviews in the Romans usd?
Razor shift over carbons :Facepalm
i want to shop with you guys but i don't know how long it will take, am from nigeria
shoe size 43

haha thank you!
That’s bc aggressive inline died in 2004. Just get your friends to buy a pair and rock the streets like a motorcycle gang.
Embrace the solo session =) Whilst it may not be as fun as skating with friends, I often prefer it, as your session doesn't depend on the reliability of others. Also, you can still share your adventures/progression and interact with other rollerbladers online by posting clips, edits, v-logs etc.

Can you play hockey with aggressive skates? Pls tell me
Well, its not impossible, but agressive skates are heavier than hockey skates, and the wheels are smaller, so you will be slower. And hockey skates have room for protective gear.
I want to buy skates to walk dog. Any recomendations anything under 200.
I got the razor cult 9's with kizer x freestyle frames super light skate i can hit jumps easily without much thrust.
Rollerblade Solo? K2 Unnaturals?
No love for Remz?
What are the lightest skates? I got no skate shops near me and i have RB TRS and they FUCKING HEAVY AF! i can't 720 and hit high rails with them
them are ok for someone that isn't explosive
Roces m12.... It s an awesome skate if we have like 5 miles to the first skating point AND a smaallll foot
Rollerblade trs team, Remz nils pro and razors Genesys
I want to buy how will be
Still got my razor murders 😁
Since when the hell are Razors top of the market? Hahaha
Razors genesys 11s are my absolute favorite
i havent skated in about 6 or 7 years. why does everyone seem to be skating physically bigger frames and wheels these days??
New engineering has kinda led to being able to have bigger frames, and larger wheels, while still keeping grindablity, and low weight.
If you remove m12 and shift from this list then I could agree. SL are better than shifts. All that fast frame swap system is BS , m12 have very old shell that holds ankle very bad and undersised , tiny tiny 42. Aeon and SL for the winner
Yay Cult! (I totally bias cause of my Street Blues with the Jug liner😅)
Where is this beautiful store at?
As a Londoner I can confirm they are NOT located here haha, about 60-70 miles South, by the coast in Eastbourne near Brighton
Yeah Eastbourne is a fair old distance from London. lol
Where is this I needed to kno
How do the Adapts rate along side these?
Great... to be fair we were just trying to make an easy-to-swallow guide. There's so many great skates out there and each one appeals to a different person in a different way.
LocoSkates - Cool thanks bud. When I’m back visiting the UK I’ll come in. From Hastings (booo!) living in Sydney now though...shop looks great!
Where is this store?
Eastbourne
No carbons 😞
Gawds are basically Carbon Frees though.
I wonder if hyper is still making the midgets. I love some those midgets now
No more valos?
I've never understood why the cult gets less love than the m12
K2 Front Street!
Rollerblade Solo Team aggressive skates...
yeah why nobody talks about em, hardly see any vids on them too
True. These are awesome and built like a tank
Those skates are discontinued. I would put them in top 5 too.
Matthew Hubbard You can still buy them on inlineskates.com which is the only website I see them on with mostly every size available and they are on sale!
yes, they are truly built like a tank, but the solo teams are heavy like hell! for me is so hard to pull any tricks wearing them
nice one
No classic thrones w juice system lol sorry list . best grey usd classic 00 team thrones black cuff black backslide plate white juice system white 50 50 ufs frames like latimer or shima in coup de tat I had that set up at that time and made it when ufs came out. Be a og kids. Get classic thrones maybe same cut I described but black boot like rachard had shout out urs tron
Razors sl2 yuri for the win!
Rollerblades nj pro
Do you have them yourself? Can you tell me more about them if so?
How can you claim them skates is the best when you dont even have any.
We don't. That's why they were not included in the top 5. Although have a look at our full review here:

razor sl reds is the best
a cruise skater
i used to skate about 17 years ago. in my opinion all these skates look really cheap and badly desinged. what happened to roces and solemon

The razors all look like drainpipes to me...
I'd never buy them but each to their own
Armoured Rat haha like I said, they aren't for me.
I'd happy test a pair to see what all the hype is about, but I think they're hideous on the eye
Martin Hibbert razors are literally the best skates I’ve ever used...
Armoured Rat I know lots of people that rave about the and wouldn't skate anything else, but I like the USD and Seba aggressives.
Much more my style... Probably from skating Bauer hockey inline and ice skates for years.
Then I went for carbon fibre skates as I loved how stiff they were, like the Bauer
I agree they are plastic And clucky usd carbon so much better
Guys can you tell me what do you think about California Pro Posion II? I want to buy aggressive skates but not sure which one.. I dont have money for some too expensive.. Also I heard that guys have anti-rocker because regular frame is sticky on grind, is it that bad?
not them
roces m12 sux
only a park skater likes it in the streets sux
