Ben another great vid. I'm currently skating in the Sheffield's as well (same colorway too) and they really are a great shoe. Very very sticky out of the box but they feel so great so quickly. I keep missing you when you make it over to Vic. That play "adult" life thing always pulling time away but I will try to stay on top of your posts and see if I can catch you over here one time. Looking forward to meeting and skating with you. Stay strong brother and keep the amazing content coming. Always motivates my 33 year old self to stay sharp!
