New Skate Day - Flying Eagle Falcon

[@darin-pond]

Your reaction to the skateboarders was priceless. New skates are looking fresh Bill!

[@clray123]

I read that you can attach 3x 110mm wheels to those skates and they would still remain maneuverable. It would be interesting to see you test this theory.

[@PetrKlus]

+clray123 That is true! Second that, would like to see a review as well :)

[@lhughes6656]

I like how he filmed himself watching himself film himself. Just an observation :)

[@StreetBladerBloke]

Recently got flying eagle f6..moving from powerslide and can say for me difference is huge. FE has improved my jumps, 180 transitions on speed, powerstops, endurance, the control is just phenomenal. Never had better setup before. Ego frames are just amazing with landings.

[@OliBenet]

Amazing, this is so cool. Great vid, and great skates!

[@BillStoppard]

+Oli Benet Thanks for the props Oli!!

[@halstonheap6531]

That Free Skate in Barcelona video is legendary. I love that video sooo much. One of my all time favorites. I saw it for the first time like 5 months ago.

[@greenvector]

Hi Bill, I just wanted to thank you for all of your videos over the last few years. I used to skate as a kid and loved it. However, as the 90s progressed and the 'cool' factor faded on skating, I found myself too weak to resist and thus left my skating behind like an unwanted orphan. However a few years ago, I saw some street skating taking place in London and decided to google skating and your videos were some of the first I watched and wammo, my love for skating has been rekindled and I doubt I will ever lose it now. So thank you, genuinely. Thank you very much for helping to reaffirm skating as neither 'cool', nor 'sad', but just damn fun.

[@BillStoppard]

+fuzz bubble Thanks for the encouragement fb. I hope your return is a blast! London is a great skating city!!

[@mikelemay5493]

This could be a comment left by me, lol. I think bill has inspired a lot of guys 30+ to get back at it. Best decision I've ever made. Having more fun than I have since my early 20s and in better shape than I've ever been in. And my kids LOVE skating with me

[@bigmonumentshere]

I loved that. If I tried to do any of that stuff, I would have to go back and collect pieces of my knees from the floor! Luckily I can enjoy watching you doing that. So cool. Greetings from Italy :)

[@danielsmithiv1279]

Bill--thank you for your in-depth review; thank you for trying them out; and thank you so damn much for giving us the website to order these blades! THANK YOU MAN. YOU'RE A BEAST AND AN INSPIRATIONAL GUY

[@dexmandex]

i am Brasil fã, dont stop vídeos Take care brother

[@kubac9700]

Great video. I've been here years ago when I bought Rollerblades Maxxum 90, that turned out to be way to big. So now I'll try to get back to skates, maybe with Flying Eagles. They look pretty interesting!

[@GusUruguay]

This is how every skate review should be done. You're the man!

[@Abernathius]

I have always liked your skate channel best, but this video finally confirmed me as a subscriber. Such a real guy, keep up what you do!!!

[@craigdodson7018]

I see you've learnt/improved on the more extreme/aggressive side of skating. Good stuff.

[@PROLIFICCA]

Congratulations on these! :) The Falcon is a great skate to be in...

[@Freakdominator]

I know this comment is a bit late, but thanks for the great skate review. I am relatively new to skating and wanted an upgrade from the super cheap Rollerblades I was rolling, and this video put me on the trail of the Falcons, which I am now skating on, and enjoying immensely.

[@kinerclifton]

How did they hold up?

[@adleysketches1701]

does anyone know how to get these skates in this color, because I can't find the green and white on their website?

[@rickrolled24]

Your pair of skates are awesome and extremely!

[@rochellea.9084]

are you kidding me look at your age and you're still inline Skating like a 16 year old.......so cool godspeed man you're awesome !

[@melaniem9433]

"Millennium Falcon" = YES! (Han Solo is my favorite) Those FRAMES! Bottom vents - Finally! So good to see such nice work put into a skate, and it's great to see you so "chuffed" ha ha! How do these compare to the Hyperskate Zero? Watching your reviews will help me choose my next pair - Thanks!! Also, I had such a fun skate yesterday - inspired by you - GO BILL!

[@earluminga1680]

Bill, good job for the Makio grind.

[@1AndreasKendu]

Haha! You are a real skater Bill! And your humor is uncanny!

[@Drsoggy]

I have a chance to spend up to $400 on skates and was all set for the High Lights until I saw your review. It's been about 15 years since I've owned a pair and I'm interested in the same style of skating as you do with the addition of slalom. My last set gave me lots of blisters and I don't mind spending a bit more if it's justified. The sport has evolved so much. Thanks for re-introducing the sport to me Bill! Any thoughts or advice?

[@deadkold]

nice vid man, I'm just buying the Flying Eagle F6S Falcon Skates for my first ever skates as an adult. I think they're a bit different than yours but I'm hoping for the price they are they will be decent (200 USD)

[@StreetBladerBloke]

Did u buy them I got same and I absolutely feel immortal in them

[@deadkold]

@@StreetBladerBloke i got them but returned, idk I have a heavy build (bulkier than fat) I weigh 240 @ 6ft and the skates were so painful to try to ride. Probably need a dif type of skates, gave up on it for now lol.

[@soniasquishy]

Actually picked a pair of these up as my first skates a couple months ago. Then the weather got horrible, so I haven't been able to use them since.

[@Taziod]

+Homsar3 LOL this is exactly the state I'm in, but I have tried to get some runs in when the weather was permitting, but I'm waiting for the first hot day to really go out.

[@samcarambat9398]

hey could you explain the part where you rotated the screws and mentioned the different type of performance?

[@rickrolled24]

I like your skates and I like your new one!

[@joeyasmr7070]

How do you not have more views you are awesome!!!!

[@ShouriSeifuku]

What knee pads do you wear?

[@get4084]

Great vid! What do you call those mini-cross overs from 1:29 to 1:36? How do you do these on a straight track? If I do more than one such cross overs on a straight track I would veer off the track.

[@raphaelmolnar9848]

Thanks man, every single of your videos I watch makes me want to put wheels on my feet and go skating everywhere =D

[@BillStoppard]

+Raphael Molnar Thanks R, super nice to hear!

[@mrgordonli]

Haha, great review Bill :) Constantine recommended these to me, but since these were just stocked, I knew you'd be doing a review on these and I wanted to hear your view on it first haha, maybe in the near future I'll grab a pair of these alongside my FR1's :)

[@BillStoppard]

+Gordon Li Hey thanks G. The FR1's are another smooth tough skate. Too many great skates to choose from nowadays!

[@mrgordonli]

+PintoPonyProductions also, would you be able to give a few tips on how to properly fall? a video or just a few sentences here would be great! Thanks Bill :)

[@nicm2787]

you're awesome! you're my go to for skate reviews, pls never stop making vids :D

[@generictoaster5743]

Do you ever go skiing?

[@jamalmiguel]

That Falcon impression was great

[@lazydaze3134]

Bill do you prefer the rockered or unrockered setup for these skates? I rode rockered for the first few days I bought them. Switched to unrockered because I felt this was more stable for city/urban skating. Or maybe I just sick still lol.

[@lazydaze3134]

That was supposed to say I just suck. Stupid smartphone.

[@jonatanguitar]

Are you still riding them flat? Just being curious, I'm looking into getting these and I'm really interested in the rockered options. Btw, do you know how Bill had his setup for this video?

[@lazydaze3134]

+Jonatan OTW I switch them out from flat to rockered now I'll use flat for city skating, jumps ect. I'll use rockered when I practice slidi,g, spinning moves and am not gonna go far. I've also gotten the supersonic frame with 110mm wheel setup. These are versatile skates and worth the buy.

[@jonatanguitar]

+Lazy Daze Sounds cool, I'm looking forward to getting them in a near future. Thanks for answering!

[@Josh-bb3xi]

I heard about these a while back and was intrigued. I don't know if you've tried RollerBlade Twister 80, but would you say these are basically the same thing? Apart from the adjustable frame, ofc.

[@BillStoppard]

+Joshua Boguiren I've never tried the Twister but I think your comparison is spot on!

[@Josh-bb3xi]

PintoPonyProductions​ a lot cheaper at that. How is the width compared to SEBA? My issue with Twister is that I'm flat footed and they squeeze my pads.  Also, what do you think about the durability of the frames and axles? More moving parts means more things that could break, and I'd be worried about the frames getting damaged over a period of time. I'd appreciate a follow up review after you've had some time to really break them in addressing those concerns. It'd be alright if only the axles wear down because they can be replaced, but if the slots in the frame start wearing out then I'd think twice about buying these.

[@danielpspersonal]

+Joshua Boguiren I skated these the other day and I dare say they are better than the twister 80, but I think its down to personal preference.

[@trandinhtrungvietnam]

+Joshua Boguiren I have some experience with the Drift frames which is quite similar to these frames of Falcon. I would say that durability is not a problem, the rocker axles are locked in place on the frames, you are given two positions (2mm difference in height). Those axles are tighten by a different screw on the other side of the frames making them a very solid system. The only problem I've experience so far is when I tighten the screws very tight, the rockering axles tend to be stuck on the frames making it very difficult to take them out. Another point to consider before buying Flying Eagles skates is that they fit bigger than SEBA (not so sure about Rollerblade). Normally, Falcon size 41 will be equivalent to Fr1 size 40. My SEBA high light size 37 also have same inner length as my Flying Eagle Drift size 38.

[@trandinhtrungvietnam]

+Joshua Boguiren Also, your concern should move toward the axles instead of frames, the screws are actually tightened on the axles instead of frames so breakage caused by tightening is more likely to be on the rockering axles than frames but it's still very unlikely to happen. Breakage is rare but once you lost your rockering axles, you will have to buy a new frame set since the rockering axles are completely different from regular axles and are not sold as spare parts.

[@eduardoparra1689]

Hi Bill ! What do you think about F5S Eclipse Flying Eagle?

[@AmirAli-qh3ve]

Now with regards to these new skates how do you rate your top 5 skates now? I reckon the list has changed since you get these.

[@bigdog3368]

Skates look good, for me its about the wheels, do they come with decent wheels, that feel fast when your skating?

[@bikesandbalding]

Do you still have these skates? I am considering buying them and from all that abuse it looks amazing.

[@elstukov]

Hey Bill, after all this time with these skates, do you think they are worth it for the price? durability and comfy? Im looking for a new pair for my Wife, her cheap skates are hurting her ankles

[@solrac7576]

Nice color skate and the white give a edgy aero dynamic look.

[@claudio_oli2063]

When will you try the FE F7 optimum? :D

[@paulf0x]

I know this post is 4 years old, but I got these skates about 4 weeks ago and love them. I’m starting to feel pressure/mild pain on my inside ankles - and wondered if you experienced the same, and what you would recommend. I wonder if I should try adjusting the frame... but I know nothing about that. Any thoughts?

[@eelkeaptroot1393]

Rockers can take some getting used to esspecially with agressive tricks, but they're awesome for freestyle and those hockey moves you like. If boarders call your moves sick now, then just keep practising and you'll approach the level of narly. That frame design looks like besides falcon or eagle it's got narly written all over it. Robust extruded aluminium I can tell and interesting rockering options, good luck trying to rough that up.

[@jonatanguitar]

I really like the look of these skates. A slightly weird question: How much difference does a ventilated boot like this do compared to a fully closed boot (say for example Sebas FR line)? Is it something that you can feel as you skate? Does it compromise stability much? Someone who knows? And thanks for a great video Bill!

[@jackwang4658]

Jonatan OTW if by ventilated you mean the boot is exposed right down the 'front-middle' with only a buckle, strap and a few laces only it together then not really, there really isn't a huge difference.

[@aneteirte8698]

I love your unboxing style, haha!!! Great vid as always! :)

[@dogsandsmiles]

@pintoponyproductions How is the rocker for City skating? Higher speeds on rockered frames make me nervous.

[@chaindriven61]

Hi ! great vid. Queston: How are the fit in the toe-box? is it narrow or wide? I've been using Powerslide/Swell tri-skates but the boots are very narrow and killing my right foot. I also use Rollerblade RB80 which are very comfortable and have a wide toe box. Thanks in advance! Best, Greg

[@kchappelle]

Well Bill, do you prefer them rockered or flat?

[@xsjad0man]

Have you thought about trying some powerblades at the skatepark. :-)

[@Jimmywinkel]

haha, Xsjado with kizer pb frames ftw ;). I think BP wud rock those!!

[@Jimmywinkel]

not bp, Bill! silly autocorrect

[@arturocalvo8881]

Where can I buy it in Canada, it say in ProSkatersPlace but it doesn work, It doesn show Canada in the chekout, somebady can tell me wherever else can i buy them??

[@RockCh4lk]

Are these more comfortable on a long skate session than a hockey skate like the Bauer Vapor?

[@Baccardo]

Bill, they look like great skates, but where can I buy them in the US?

[@tomnikond600]

Hi Bill! I've tried them out, but the toe is touching the front of the roller. Should I buy that one which is super tight or go for size up? Thank you from Argentina!

[@InlineDownhillVancouver]

Bill, it seems like certain aspects of your skating are getting better. Yeah, I agree, $220 US is a great deal. PS, never do an accent ever again. lol

[@alfredoistic]

nice skates and I love your dog !!!

[@BillStoppard]

Awesome thanks F; this little guy is my athletic Hero!!

[@alfredoistic]

yay!!

[@angelodorman3292]

I know im late but can you give me the opinion of dbx boys equinox skates I'm planning to get them so I want to see if they are good

[@bolillo222]

1 year later and what happend?

[@HIPNODOA]

hello bill which ia better Seba frx 80 2015 or flying eagle f6 Falcon? or anyone can help me?

[@fromdolenjsk]

I am also considering those two options. Some bladers say that seba fr1 was the best choice till the 2011 year where they changed the design of the shell and made it worse. Now I dont know. There is one good blog which describes them with pros and cons and I think it is the most objective review up to date, but he was reviewing the 2013 model of fr1. The falcons are better than the seba frx but dont know if they are better than the seba fr1. zecoprzepraszam.wordpress.com/2013/01/20/seba-fr1-80/

[@HIPNODOA]

Ty fromdolenjsk, i Will check the blog. Ty so much

[@jonatanguitar]

I haven't tried either but I'm deciding between the F6 Falcon or Seba FR as well. Seba seems to be a pretty solid brand in general but I've also heard some bad things about them (especially the FR1 model), mostly being that the quality of the newer models are worse than they were some years ago. The Falcons look great and I really like the ventilated boot compared to the fully closed FR boot, but I haven't read/seen too many reviews about them. This video is in fact the absolutely best review source I've found at least so far. Probably this has something to do with that the F6 (and Flying Eagle in general, if I understand correctly) are pretty new skates that not too many have tested yet, while Seba has been around for some years and more people know about them. One alternative that looks interesting could be the new Seba FR3 though, cheaper than the FR1 but one step up from the FRX.

[@HIPNODOA]

+Jonatan OTW Ok Jonatan i Will chack fr3

[@jugado219]

What's your opinion of this flying eagle after this time? Thanks

[@brendanoconnor2747]

Hey, long time viewer of.... Well, every video you post. If I messaged you and shared a link to some wheels that I'm looking to buy with a description of what I do when I skate/what kind of wheels I'm looking for, could I get your opinion? I trust yours more than anyone I know! (: P.S. Please post more Monster Skates, I like skating through Toronto vicariously through you!

[@tamialongdon9288]

Can u do a video on how to improve your skating

[@patarsatar]

Those blades look great! How much were they?

[@alexanderb4465]

[@Warkid1993]

they kinda look like rb twisters. any comparison?

[@jb837]

They're really kool thanks to your rewiew I've bought it

[@paulf0x]

What are your more recent thoughts about these skates? Still recommend?

[@henryshingalili4181]

[@trandinhtrungvietnam]

In my country this brand is very popular.

[@1analist]

where are you from?

[@MrGimmethreesteps]

Question: Why did you buy these over the roller blade twisters?

[@cesarcolli1042]

Like the surface of the moon. I am just a sucker do videos about skating. Great videos buddy. I will subscribe your channel, great tips. Peace

[@saviellopez625]

Would you recommend for indoor

[@MegaJunebug420]

Great videos man !!

[@samueldeutsch7766]

Is the seba FR1 80 better than the falcon ?

[@Jingizz]

I was skateing alot when I was a kid, I wanna do that again, how much should I spend for a good pair

[@Burps___]

Ten dollars US.

[@mixtermuxter8602]

+Jingizz 200 dollars max

[@abcv2v]

How do you know what exact materials on wheels made of? How can I know if the bearing is made of aluminum? How can I know if the core and hub are made of nylon or plastic?

[@guilhermetonon7267]

Marcelino Sanders reading about it ?

[@rubiewilhelm8637]

How much r these blades? I need new ones

[@ricardomarques748]

Why you no have Rollerblade, is bad? I want to buy a Falcon but a have the rollablade twister and I don't know If better

[@mitchellsewell275]

The simple answer to your question is the shop that he is affiliated with does not carry RB likely to due the nature of the shop being "Pro". RB may have too large a distribution to be "pro". (Just my insight)

[@MrDjcamo29]

It looks to me you’re at the same skate park that braille skateboarding goes to.

You are a Monster Great to watch

[@fredygump5578]

Every "unboxing" video on youtube should be handled like this--pop open the box (without talking about the box), then pull the thing out of the box while throwing the box on the floor in a single motion. Then use the dang thing already...

[@Alexanderboost]

I have never heard of a Rockering system like that. It sounds really cool and versatile. Can you confirm that?

[@BillStoppard]

+Alexander Boost I was surprised to find that it's very easy to use too; very cool to have all profile choices.

[@1analist]

Can you have an anti-rocker profile with these?

[@niejestemnim]

Got a depressed skull fracture, scalp laceration, a partially broken neck, PTSD, and a new level of insaaaniiiity. :) The driver wasn't charged with anything since he escaped.

[@ventur9025]

Anyone know good but cheap street skates also I'm new to street skating I use to just do it in skate rinks

[@mikelemay5493]

Not really such a thing as "good but cheap". If you're new to skating you can find comfortable and stable skates for around $100, but they'll be slow. You can get decent hockey skates for around $170, they work well for the city streets. Otherwise these are about the cheapest "good" skates you'll find, like he said about $220.

[@ventur9025]

+mike lemay Iv been skating for about 3 years just never street skating and I was looking for 100-200 thx

[@lazydaze3134]

+Tuna When I started back I got a pair or Rollerblade Zetrablades for 100 bucks. Very nice entry level skates. I recently bought the skates in the vid from proskater place.com. for 220. These things are extremely nice. Very fast and responsive.
