Gear Talk Episode 120: Standard Omni update

[@Rollerbalder]

That all-white boot and frame combo with the pink wheels is giving me Miami Vice vibes and I love it.

[@jandedobbeleer2839]

Replaceable buckles makes these absolutely perfect now! Good call. So looking forward to skating these (and hopefully they fit 😅).

[@tablix5275]

I am so glad you made such strong emphasis on the head protection..... It should be rule #1 helmet on before the blades.... you only got one head.

[@darkmage8051]

As someone with custom prime frames and intuitions, the shell only option was what swung me to pre order.

[@that_which_is_not]

Glad you changed the riveted buckles. It’s the bolt that has historically been least likely to come undone on most of my skates 👍

[@james-ted-garland]

Good decision with the buckle! That was the only thing I wasn't sure about

[@art0nblades]

Good call on replaceable buckles! I had Razors plastic buckles (similar buckle) bend quite a lot, so I had to replace them.

[@johnpierce6502]

Lawrence is the man. Next time I'm in the (919) I'm trying to roll by the shop

[@BacktoBlading]

Please do! Message on IG anytime

[@JustinThursday]

Thanks Law! I hope you like the frames.

[@JustAnotherBlader]

cuff bolts absolutely matter imo.... lots of people (myself included) swap cuffs both for aesthetics and/or function (flex, height, etc). Or if you crack the cuff, or wear out the buckle protection, you might want to replace it instead of having to buy a whole new skate. also, having dealt with riveted cuffs on the Sway 57, i can tell you that riveted bolts get loose too. except there's no way to tighten them, which just results in a super loose flexy cuff.

[@BacktoBlading]

You might be the 1%. We’ll listen to feedback and make changes if needed. Appreciate the insights

[@ADS40BACKONSKATES]

Still ant work… but I can’t wait to watch the full video .. thanks for all your effort and work

[@ADS40BACKONSKATES]

I’ve just pre ordered my pair omnis 🖤 can’t wait

[@chrismedina8825]

I’m in a 24-24.5 xs intuition premium. I can almost make a xs 909 work so I’m currently swimming in a small. Think a small Omni would fit? Wondering if they are comparable to a 909 in the front ankle area?

[@BacktoBlading]

Unlikely the Small will work unfortunately. Our XS will have internal 25.9 cm, which is perfect for you. Working as fast as possible to bring it to market.

[@ItsAllMoThug33]

Rivited bolts for buckle is sketchy i never had skates where i didnt had to replace My buckle over time

[@ItsAllMoThug33]

Yes so happy u changed it 😅 can't wait for the white ones

[@akhenatena.k.alarse193]

White ones are so nice

[@rollforever85]

Love the white omni 🤩 Hopefully I can squeeze my feet into the 285 shell 🤞

[@brunomaceno4219]

Cara, eu te adimiro muito sabia? Te acho um cara foda, como ser humano e como uma pessoa que ama patinar! Desejo tudo de bom para seu projeto, fico chateado que aqui no Brasil não temos como ter acesso a esse patins, aqui temos que pagar 125% de imposto sobre tudo que e importado.. enfim, parabens cara, você e um cara foda!!

[@BacktoBlading]

Thanks! We’ve tried to get product to Brazil but it’s so difficult. I won’t give up

[@brunomaceno4219]

@@BacktoBlading não perca tempo com o Brasil, brasileiros merecem exatamente a condição que temos aqui, o povo aqui e idiota e atrasado, nao gaste energia com esse país, não vale a pena, essa dificuldade que você tem, e reflexo das escolhas do proprio povo, enfim, muito sucesso pra vc irmão! Brasileiros compraram da Colômbia ou dos vizinhos aqui que já vimos que tem distribuição, e ainda com "isenção de imposto", por causa do lixo do mercosul!

[@eddyeffendy_]

would be fun when all the skates arrive, that next gear talk would be wall full of omnis instead!

[@BacktoBlading]

Ha! Don’t give me any ideas

[@DreadedRoller]

ill be the 1st to say. if or when you do make a XXL shell ill be buying a few pairs! razor is the only company that makes a size 13-14 and they don't have any plans on making another production run of them especially at the price your selling theses for! I cant Wait!!!

[@GTIngold]

Would you be interested in a size 13 throne used jon julios from 98?

[@DreadedRoller]

@GTIngold they're not big enough.... lol I'm just able to squeez into the 318mm razor 13-14 shell so I'm hoping the XXL shell is at least 318mm once it's started on... hint hints

[@RF-zn8xx]

Should definitely list the skates used in brink lol

[@troublezblading2569]

Love these wanna skate them are the cuff bolts gonna be changeable

[@smith1459]

Hello I just want to ask can i mount ufs NN frame to this boot ? Do you recommend it ?

[@BacktoBlading]

@trouble Nope, cuff bolts are riveted. We’ll see if that changes in the future

[@BacktoBlading]

@smith for sure! But I’d stay below 90mm. Hope to test on 100 soon and will report back

[@gmkwheels]

I hope you get to bring out size 38 aswell 😢and is the boot flat? So the same as a carbon boot?

[@Travis732]

@ back to blading Hey, I ordered a stranded Starman Maroon t-shirt a week or so ago, just wondering when it will be here to west virginia??.

[@BacktoBlading]

They’re in production for end of the month. Should be there first week of November.

[@Travis732]

@@BacktoBlading thank you, Law

[@jandedobbeleer2839]

BTW, Law. A thought I had on sizing. Would it be possible to create an Intuition liner compatibility chart? Like I know I fit perfectly in a 7-7.5 US Intuition, so I’m inclined towards a size S Omni, but having this information would make my guess more educated.

[@ZenithPotentia]

I think with the original chart that standard provides, it has a shell measurement and a liner measurement so you can place any liner on the chart to find out how your liner will fit in the shell.

[@BacktoBlading]

Would love to, but might need all the intuitions on hand to verify

[@jandedobbeleer2839]

@@BacktoBlading fully understand that. Maybe we can build a community chart.

[@alanhester2966]

Looks like a great skate, wish it was for $250.00 instead of the $299.00 price point. Could there be a special Black Friday sale?

[@BacktoBlading]

You could go linerless, drops down to $239

[@zackmarkham4240]

I'm surprised you had a pair of Omni's barely on screen in the top right of frame instead of closer to center frame over you left shoulder.

[@eddyeffendy_]

think because it's easier to reach.

[@zackmarkham4240]

@@eddyeffendy_ Makes sense

[@UrbanIndian]

I‘m size 27,3 cm weich size do you recommend for me? Trank you very much….

[@BacktoBlading]

I’d say the Medium will fit you but you might get some toe touches with the stock liner. If you have Intuition or RL1 or Second Skin they’ll likely fit perfect

[@UrbanIndian]

@@BacktoBlading thank you for your quick answer. I will try the Mediums ….

[@bladeshred01]

2023, people still don't know about loctite 🤣🤦🏻

[@Silentlyseduced]

You down talked that frame company so bad. I listened to every single word that you used during the entire time you talked about them frames. Your better off not talking about other companies from now on, because now all it shows is a conflict of interest man 😂😂😂😂

[@BacktoBlading]

I don’t think so, still excited to skate them.
