maybe its cuz im old but on the ag60 those little different color slider pieces really dont mean shit to me. def not a selling point but i do want to try the ag60 cuz i havent yet. the past 5 months has been the search for the perfect flat frame.i think my next one is the fr oysi or the50/60 prime. prolly the ufr oysi since its almost half the price lolol

i got those same flt4s. im trying to find someone with a black h block to trade me lmao. cuz my skates are all black and white so it would look titties on my skates

Na. Just ride them soulplates. Souls and negatives plenty big enough. I do negatives and seen many buds doing long neg makios easy.

This video taught me I have been using my mic the wrong way round, thanks Dave, gift that keeps on giving!

Good to hear from you and Kate! Lovely chat

I care bro.

The coolest 💯

very nice & interesting conversation, kates progression is so damn good trough the last years, very inspiring person. super happy to see the rising of female skaters around the world :)

Baller genetics 🇺🇦 So awesome to see folks like her and Mahuchikh doing it up so big under such tough circumstances. All the best moving forward 💪

Good stuff. Good attitude, focused, etc. Keep these interviews coming Dave!

Kate is great

Great interview

SVOsin supports everything russia does in Ukraine. Proved it visiting occupied Crimea and with propoganda of so called russian values in his videos. It is shame for roces. But looks, like they dont care and gladly support killing ukrainians daily. Author is a naive blind western who tolerates "good russians". russia is aggressor and all russians responsible for that war.

🤩 Go Kate!

She does not just skate sick. She has got also a lot of steeeeeez.🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Yessssss 🙏🏻❤️

❤

2024 Remz is totally gone, RIP Remz

one thing im starting to notice about my FLt 4s is i have to tighten all my axles after i skate but sum lock tight would solve that problem. so ima jusdodat

Pro means it's your Job and you don't have to work something on the side, not getting a Boot and having to work as a Carpenter or something for your Rent

Well, just remember it's easy to tap a curb with a board and call it a grind when.In fact a roller blader has to actually grind their way down said ledge or handrail ....fuck skateboarding

must be nice having multiple indoor spots!!!!

i wanna get a wheel scene shirt. how many XLs we talkin?

big ups to zack savage and Chino Sinn for having the dopest names in rolling lolol

I honestly didn’t know Remz was still a company 🙃

He talks about being a pro like it's some type of recognised standard. So if you're a pro with one company, you're automatically going to be a pro with another company. Doesn't pro status just represent that you're going to take some income away from the sponsorship? Theoretically, you could be a relatively poor rollerblader, but if you have a large social media following and they perceive you to be able to sell their skates, they'll give you a pro status as you're going to increase the revenue of the company. Pros get paid, floor team gets equipment.

Great vid !

Roller Blading is GAY!

jo, joey, and josiah all deserve so much more than this industry is providing ...

We will never have another dre or murda or franky blading now is basicly a bunch aragon clones and back to basic pros

I consider a pro anyone that makes money from skating.

The funniest thing about this whole ordeal is that in the end all those so called Pros are earning so little one might wonder why these brands do all this performative bs with tiers and rankings.

The only ppl considered pros are the ppl getting payed a salary like roces top 4. If u have a product with a name on it it’s more of a signature product than professional status.

With so many skate companies starting up there is probably even less money being generated by boot sales as the sales are getting diluted across so many options.

More brand ambassadors than pros.

Some of the “talent” that is considered pro these days is sad. It’s like if you’re creative that’s enough to be pro, where pros in the past always had that element of very high athleticism that is just missing today. Also it’s like creativity is no longer creative because everyone is “creative” it’s just contrived now.

Great coverage, Dave. Seems a big take away is to get everything in writing. Anyone dealing with a blading company, make sure you advocate for yourself!

Thats funny, I saw Cudot in the white wheels at the comp and figured they were the stock wheels for the cougars. But you're right, they are definitely Famus wheels.

The more “underground” that skating is, the more these lines will get blurred…I mean, technically, you could say you’re sponsored or “am” if someone gives you a tshirt one time. At any rate, a company like Them is kinda nebulous on purpose it seems-Sizemore had a “Welcome to Them” edit, yes, and folks get the signature skates, but it gives the impression of more of a loose “family” (shout out Dom Toretto) versus a strict, tiered pro, am, flow model. That said, I assume there’s the select group that gets their travel/accommodations covered for stuff like Winterclash/Blading Cup/NYC pop-up and such, but I don’t know how much money actually changes hands (aside from skate royalties). As it stands, having a looser, more open-ended model gives both sides more flexibility and keeps expectations from getting too high. As for whether there are too many wheel companies, it all evens out in the end. Ultimately, the good ones will endure, and the shitty ones will fade away because the owner loses interest or the product/marketing isn’t up to snuff 🙏

Wow Remz not paying Joisah. is terrible! They straight lied to him.

It is a kinda unique phenomenon. Also, in recent years, we've got a bunch of retired pros getting new skates, too! (Latimer, Shima, Feinberg etc.) I'm not making a statement for or against it, but just pointing out another quirk.
