A brief history lesson on Salomon aggressive rollerblades

[@swissblader8037]

Great overview. I had the blue ones (I think the name was ST8) and I absolutely loved them. How they looked, how they felt, the insane quality, the perfect shape for a wide range of different feet-types etc, etc.. Even the stock-frames were really good. But this is no wonder regarding their also amazing skiboots which are absolutely outstanding from every point of view. It is a pity that they do not produce inline-skates anymore...

Nice. Still got my old st8 around :D

[@george_venison]

Aeon shock absorbers are also nice

3:56 I think the ST80s were out a number of years prior to '07-'08. I just found my old pair that I got from a friend back in high school. Never saw him use them, but I remember him saying he and his brothers used to go to the skatepark. We became friends in 8th grade, so that was 2002 at the latest that he would've got them new. So maybe the ST80s were from like 2001ish?

Holy shit the brother found the holy grail I skated almost every skate till now an Salomon still is my best skates to skate on the crazy part is the shell is about 20 years old an still holding strong

I still have my ST ones from 2000! I'd love some suggestions where to get new plates and wheels for it since I don't remember what mm wheels to get! (Also prayers that I don't break anything after a 22yr break from skating! :) Cheers!

@kpdrums1427 58mm is the max I would go, subtract soulplates out of Australia are really good. You could also Frankenstein some adapt soulplates with a dremal. I'm a heavy guy and my salomons have held up to the test of time. Goodluck!
