FIRST SKATE - Remz HR 2.5 // Inline Skating (What I Learned)

[@Master_Psyper]

Oh nice, the skates that got me back after a near 20 year hiatus. I swapped out the liner for Intuition premium, 50/50 wheels and new bearings, and some waxed laces. I really enjoy them. The break in is real, but once the leather softens up, they fit like a glove. Love the look, love the “Steeze style” that comes with the flex, and the fact that they don’t look like every other pair of skates. I just wish Kato was more involved with the community😔

[@iRollerboot]

They are definitely a unique skate all around, no doubt.

[@michaelsanders5870]

Your feet bowed out on the OS and older Remz because they frame used to be off center to allow for larger positive soul space. I believe it was in 2015 that Remz dropped the first skates with “True Balance”, which is their fancy way of saying “we finally centered the frame”

[@iRollerboot]

Ah yes, it’s all coming together now

[@EthanRecchio]

Man I really hope remz makes a comeback. I can't find anything in my size

[@seanpellegrino2989]

I was just thinking how weird it is that Remz fizzled during this huge aggressive inline revival. While other skate brands are just starting up and have good presences Remz has been nonexistent on social media or online and shut down.

[@alternateghost5188]

same 😔

[@jeremiahscott1900]

Stumbled onto your video looking for info on these Remz, fun watch and enjoyable video. I’m subbing, looking forward to watching more of your videos.

[@jasongoodson7035]

I love the soul on the top of the quarter pipe with the Royale down the spine out!!! 🔥 🔥 🔥

[@iRollerboot]

That was second try and idk how the hell that happened haha

[@rocesboyanthony5343]

4:20 YOIRE A MAD MAN! My goodness man you are just CRUISIN in those! Took me a while to find this video on my feed but I’m stoked I did!

[@iRollerboot]

Thanks again for everything dude! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Your vids are always super enjoyable to watch, and you seem like a really down to earth dude. I hope your channel blows up, because you genuinely deserve it. 👍🏻👍🏻

What size skates do you wear? I haves had remz in the past wich one of my favs and switched to carbons and salos wich got a better fit for me. Imma being foot blader

[@Shaun_81]

Heck yeah Ben, dropping vids of new skates errry day! Love how they all have a similar format, great for comparison.

[@iRollerboot]

Thanks for the feedback Shaun!

[@g-funk484]

man you fucking killed it

[@SherLock55]

Ben how are you not sponsored dude, your skating is seriously high level. Keep crushing man.

[@iRollerboot]

Thank you Matt 🙏🏻

Some rare upsidedown on skates Ben in this one and that farv slide was 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Thank you Jared!

[@ItsAllMoThug33]

I had 3 pair of remz loved them now i revived my old red genesys skate with fatboy liner

[@iRollerboot]

Nice! 🔥🔥

Ayyyyyyy!!! ANTHONY IS THE MAN!! 🤘🤘

[@POWERUPGAMING]

I've never skated HR's but it looks like they have more traditional liners now. The liners used to be completely neoprene all the way around. Also, those need to be V-Cut.

[@iRollerboot]

Wouldn’t v-cutting increase flex?

[@POWERUPGAMING]

@@iRollerboot In my experience, it only allows you to flex your foot down (like pointing your toe). Everything else stays the same. I enjoy it and its works for me since my foot is the perfect size in the shell, I don't get heal lift. I know others don't like it. But to each their own.

[@NOIS_inks]

Yeah I got a pair of remz haffey 2.2 and they are nuts they give me an ergonomic ice skate feel.

[@brswanson88]

Interesting review, it sounds very similar to how I felt skating my friends pair of 04 LE's. I was hoping maybe the newer ones wouldn't be as "wobbly" but I guess perhaps that flex is one of their selling points.

[@iRollerboot]

Agreed

[@thepirinceofspeed]

I never had remz.I started 80's than roll hard 90's but last skatepark ended what has a big halfpipe i switched to DH biking... :) My "new" skate is the REAEON. :) Maybe my 47th skate. :) At 4:20 or so i thought u make a futuristic handplan bio 540 or so... :)

[@KeyFur_NYC]

Thats a rad little park. I still skate my Remz. They are black and grey, I cant remember which model but ive had them since 2007 maybe. Too bad I never got a chance to skate with you during my time in texas. I hope your having a blast in Barcelona. The skate spots over there look awesome and the skaters there throw down hard.

[@tahaj.96]

Your trick vocabulary is 🔥

[@iRollerboot]

🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@koc.737]

Maaaaan this video took me to past! 10 years ago (maybe more) i was using valo tv2 and one of my friends gave to me his remz. i was a almost new teen and billy o neil and jeff stockwell was in my town. they accept me friendly for skating but because of remz i literally fucked up. I can still hear bill's laughter. i missed those days

[@chilli-iceolive-abode2447]

Great grinding skates for sure, you looked pretty damn comfortable in them considering the toe smush. I'll always have a soft spot for Remz!

[@iRollerboot]

Thanks, they were fun 👍👍

[@yoduff6897]

damn bro, you kill it in all skates!! lol 🔥🔥🔥

[@anthonymejia78]

Yoooo the boy hooked it up

[@iRollerboot]

He sure did!

[@AtongAndal]

Lookin good and solid skating as ever Sir Ben! In my opinion, this is the second smoothest sesh and the Faction Skate is still the best! P.S I'm starting to get addicted to the rail section of the park! Always lookin forward of you blading that rail! 💥💥💥

[@okthisisthelasttimeipromise]

Thank you for your support Atong 🤝

[@thecount5559]

Finally!

[@Scrotaltube]

Remz 03s, the same one as yours, were my first and only set of Remz. They fudged my ankles hard eh.

[@iRollerboot]

I feel you homie

[@paulysci925]

I had the le also but my toes would run into the front and they were 13.0

[@imsmoke888]

Dude so crazy you did this video I just got remz the other day all black 2.5 what are the e odds

Awesome content as always as a roller Booter and subscriber hand somebody who liked within the first 7 seconds of the beginning of the video I formally request background music during the state session scenes

[@hollowandfaceless8993]

That top-sole to lower back looks like a painful switch up. 😳

[@iRollerboot]

😂😂😂not my favorite switch up hahaha

[@kevincollins8620]

I pass that rail at 0:52 everyday. Construction on that road currently today.

[@iRollerboot]

Oh yeah I was there with mike like a year ago and it seemed like there was still construction back then too if I’m not mistaken

[@davewestsk8]

You looked smooth on these.

Ps aragon is the goat of street imo because he used to beat everyone (including Chris) at s.k.a.t.e. but I'm way out of the loop

[@gmle5183]

Can you upload some ASMR type stuff? I find skate ASMR super relaxing, and yours is dope and about the closest I can find.

[@iRollerboot]

You’re not the first to ask, I’ll definitely start studying the ASMR stuff. 👍

[@alexoleksa7743]

I know you’ve said you don’t often skate coping but I wouldn’t mind what your methods are for topsides on it. Stuff is still so rough for me 😅

[@iRollerboot]

Hmmm. I’ll have to give it some thought. My first notion is that some piece of the puzzle may be missing-having topsides DOWN on ledges beforehand, being able to already grind coping very effectively(not topside), being very comfortable turning and carving both ways on transitions. To me, if one of those is out of wack, I think it would give me trouble. I could be all wrong though.

[@alexoleksa7743]

@@iRollerboot 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 thanks!

[@thebaronvoneric87]

What size My Fit liner did you use? I have the Remz in a 9 and I get the “extra toe” pain.

[@kacíř666]

Again super video! The magic is only in the similarity. Only man shreding in the park, only sounds of grind, wheel And concrete. Congratulation. Now i have a question. Which trick in variation truespin is by your mind the easist? Which truespin grind I should make for the first? Thanks for answer.

[@iRollerboot]

Thank you! Good question. It honestly depends on what your safety tricks are right now. Some people go straight to TTP … and I still struggle with those. If I had to pick one I’d say true top soyale- you can use your strong backslide foot as a solid foundation while you work to get your topside foot dialed in. Hope that makes sense, thanks for watching!

[@flyingonblades]

Yes the Remz OS1 had MAD supination. Remz are torture… I can only skate them for like 2 hours but during that 2 hours I would SLAY any obstacle. They always felt like shit but I couldn’t argue with the actual results. I was never better than I was with my different pairs of Remz. Can you try them cuffless? It’s a crime to skate them with cuffs. I think the cuff also prevents the skin from being tightened properly. P.S. thanks for the shout out as always. 😁

[@iRollerboot]

I’ll have to pull the cuffs off and try again 👍

[@flyingonblades]

@@iRollerboot freedom of feet!! You’ll be able to jump high as heck. Make sure to crank them hoes!!

Loved my os1. Learned most my grinds on it

[@flyingonblades]

@@YEE941yea I have a love hate relationship with those skates… I did some of the best skating I’ve ever done in those, but they were also extremely painful. Super high performance at the sacrifice of comfort I guess for me.

This is gonna be interesting I wanna like the skates so bad but I heard everything negative about it lol

Yeah, they seem to be for a pretty small group of skaters tbh

[@HeadNtheClouds]

Where are you skating? There’s nobody there & your wearing long sleeves in the summer. I’m in SoCal & I can’t skate in long sleeves & it’s like 73 here.

[@iRollerboot]

San Antonio, pearsall skatepark. When I left the park my car said 114f but I think it may have been like 103-105f. I take frequent breaks ^__^

[@cdnpacker]

Royales are easy on my Remz, but I feel like it's cheating since I'm bending at the ankles

[@omarnunez7477]

Awesome skating buddy, you need a skate sponsor. Have you ever skated valo lights?

[@iRollerboot]

Thank Omar! I’ve skated valos like once. Not lights. Not even sure what those are, I’ll have to google it lol

[@omarnunez7477]

Look up the Valo BS.1 light, they look like construction boots lol

[@dwainwilson5080]

why do quiet there, too hot for peeps?

[@iRollerboot]

Yep. I got back in my car to leave and my dashboard read 114f. Which I think was definitely high. But it was too far off.

Kato? Not sure. I know remz is under the same distribution company as razors 🤷🏻‍♂️
