One Day on Echo Skates - Echo Verve Versus Six Skate Spots

[@condes_]

Ok but your dog is the main character here

[@wheelsceneblading]

Handsome devil always shows me up

[@ODD_Dave]

Your warm up was my full session lol

[@kevincollins8620]

You are not lying. He did a nice variety of grinds and held them well. I'd be done after that.

[@fredcastro4252]

Solid solid tricks! Your reviews are the best cause they come from somebody that can skate for real and have skated a lot of different brands. Good stuff!

[@LocoSkates]

You solo-sessioned 6 ghetto spots back to back. 🤯 Respect.

[@wheelsceneblading]

Oi! Not a single one of those spots were ghetto! Those are all in the nice areas! Hahahahaha!

[@SageRhyme]

@@wheelsceneblading Our definitions are sliding aren't they? Point of fact; those are project buildings behind you at 12 minutes. Project buildings are the literal definition of ghetto.

[@wheelsceneblading]

@@SageRhyme that’s not the same thing in the UK. Those are actually sheltered accommodation for the elderly.

[@SageRhyme]

@@wheelsceneblading I don't care what you call them, they are cheap ghetto government housing, I guess you're point is they aren't ghetto because seniors live in them? That's what I'm saying, what you call nice today, we called ghetto 20 years ago, sliding definitions. All points aside, nice clip, good skating, and a well behaved good dog. 10/10

[@sawneybean9584]

dude your warm up was some good skating......love your Dog

[@ShredCitySkatesKelvW]

Dug this format hard 👊🏼 yand, your dog is awesome ❤

[@wheelsceneblading]

You’re my dawg, Kelv!

[@ShredCitySkatesKelvW]

@@wheelsceneblading 😘

[@wheelsceneblading]

@@ShredCitySkatesKelvW there we go, flirting again. This is turning into an affair.

[@ShredCitySkatesKelvW]

@@wheelsceneblading the misses is happy to watch

[@DraftyVi]

i think im definitely in the minority of people that absolutely love the green/purple colourway, but i dont think i'd like them if it was just the green boot, the purple is for sure necessary for it to work

[@Johnnysthunder]

I like the green and the purple as well personally and I think ya could make em sick boot only with the right frame besides this one…

[@DraftyVi]

@@Johnnysthunder My thoughts are that they'd be really good for big wheel blading, i think whataspoon is currently using them in that setup

[@connergiven89]

I love the colors too. Hulk smash.

[@jasonotto9126]

Green and purple is a sick colour combo. Maybe that's because I love transformers and especially the constructicons 😅

[@Itme212]

Love the doggo content.

[@FDonkey]

Thx for the great review ! And thx for the captions at the handicap rail 😂😂😂

[@wheelsceneblading]

Just a fully grown man cursing himself out in public...nothing to see here!

[@ameliacourtney1067]

Downsize for those with narrower feet, true to size for those with fat/high volume feet. Not a bad thing, very SL like.

[@HaydenBall1985]

6.5 hours ! What a day! I loved the kid who yelled “well done!” Switch back Savannah was perfect

[@wheelsceneblading]

Thanks! It was bloody tiring!

[@j4nk3n]

Dougal doesnt skate because he would put us all to shame, ever see an X grind with 4 legs? It would be over 😂

[@wheelsceneblading]

His double unity is my proudest moment as a father.

[@j4nk3n]

​@wheelsceneblading I did think about mentioning a double unity oddly enough! Great minds think alike, also i hear dougal has a new pro skate with roces, it's called the "growl" 😅

[@wheelsceneblading]

@@j4nk3n he wouldn’t be caught dead skating those. Told me he prefers the DOGmas!

[@j4nk3n]

@wheelsceneblading well, you got me there, best I could think of after that was them 9k9s 😆

[@Terry142v2]

Dougal's little cowers every time you jumped onto the red rail broke my heart a bit haha! Enjoyed the review too, I've been thinking about these or the TNECs, do you think these are comparable?

[@wheelsceneblading]

Yet, weirdly, if he wasn’t tied up at that spot he’d be running alongside me every attempt! I haven’t skated the TNEC, so I’m not sure. Sorry!

[@SaschaReichertVideoBlog]

Nice Review thanks for that

[@chinobean3555]

hell ya dAve!!!! puttin on a clinic. that black ledge looks soo fun! i dont know how i feel about the echo skates. not one original aspect like....thee ENTIRE skates. if they perform well tho thats a whole other story

[@lukeharmes]

Personally love the Green ones and it makes a change from the usual boring colourways, I am a THEM fan 908 and 909 and do see what everyone is saying about the design but there's also so many aspects that don't look like THEMs, looking forward to getting my feet in a pair

[@bigrods]

Mate, what is the problem with skates being green? They are really cool in Green, it just sucks big time, white or black skates the whole time!

[@wheelsceneblading]

To each their own!

[@willclark3921]

Great vid. Wish my dog would go skating with me. Only wants to heard me 😂 great vid as always. Great to see the difference in spots too

[@wheelsceneblading]

Dougal is the ultimate session dog, although he does sometimes like to snake people...and eat the wax if someone leaves it lying around. He has also been known to steal a water bottle now and again. Actually, he's a bit of a nuisance!

[@MrRah2flii]

Excellent review bud !!

[@orosebud]

I can't decide if I like them or not. The look down isn't great. Reminds me of my first ever pair of aggressive skates from Argos. I'm not a THEM loyalist by any means. But I can't help but feel they've looked at THEM , Myfit and gone slap bang that will do .

[@wheelsceneblading]

The liner is kinda unreal. It never gets wet and I don't know how! I skated in it all day and every time I put them on at the next spot they were dry.

[@stefanreinprecht22]

Great skating and super nice review

[@zenjirusina]

Schnauze du Wurm

[@pedrodcdcpereira]

Great content. Keep it going =)

[@Grindhoven]

👌🏻👌🏻 Love how you talk nice to yourself when you dont land tricks.

[@wheelsceneblading]

Treat ‘em mean, keep ‘em keen!

[@dmgd509]

A 200 dollar skate should not resemble a 550 skate.. let the Them fan bois cry 😂😂.. solid review btw

[@eddyeffendy_]

regal dougal keep throwing me off when listening to your thoughts on the skates so i have to keep going back. was that on purpose!? lol. that green is definitely looking better everytime i look at it.

[@wheelsceneblading]

Someone once called him the Ryan Reynolds of dogs, so now he thinks he’s the man

[@jasonotto9126]

What a good boy 🐕

[@silverfox7604]

That means weak wheels, bad liner, bad laces, so-so buckle, strangely high, and they squeak.

[@wheelsceneblading]

There wasn't a problem with the buckle and the liner was very good.

[@chinobean3555]

ya with no team no skating promos. thats really going to hurt them

[@eeluujamaa]

Dave, how much forward flex got these compared to the Sways (which have notoriously loads of forward flex imo)? And would the fact that these are a bit big for you be of influence on that?

[@wheelsceneblading]

That's a tough one to call. The plastic on the Echo Sway is definitely softer than the USD Sway plastic. However, I wasn't aware of any notable forward flex when I skated them. You've got me wondering now! I may need to report back on that one!

[@eeluujamaa]

@@wheelsceneblading thanks for the quick response. If you were to get to that, I'm curious what you find out!

[@Alphanecevitt]

is the fluffy guy ?

[@wheelsceneblading]

Dougal

[@Alphanecevitt]

[@whoisthatguy332]

Hi I'm trying to find the address of the first skatepark you were in but I can't find it on maps, can you help a brother out?

[@wheelsceneblading]

Milngavie skatepark. Search on Google. It’s on the Scottish Skatepark Directory. It’s in Lennox Park.

[@dz4sp3r]

Have You tried USD Sway v2 43-44 size on Echo 43-44 shell? Does it fit?

[@wheelsceneblading]

@@dz4sp3r do you mean the soul plate? The holes don’t line up and the Echo is a bigger shell

[@dz4sp3r]

@@wheelsceneblading Yes, soulplate. If You can drill new holes and it will sit flush or doesn't fit at all?

[@wheelsceneblading]

@@dz4sp3r you would definitely need to Dremel the inside of the Sway soul plate to make it fit onto the Echo. To be honest, I wouldn't bother. The soul plate on the Echo is pretty good.

[@thughes5187]

Are these selling to the public yet? Where or what site can I buy these?

[@wheelsceneblading]

They are due out in June

[@thughes5187]

Thanks

[@juancsmix]

Is the boot flat? shock absorbers? How do they feel when landing hard? Thanks

[@wheelsceneblading]

It’s got a slight raise, similar to the USD Sway. They felt fine on landings.

[@wheelsceneblading]

It comes with a thin shock absorber.

[@hyuuj]

Is your pup a ridgeback mix?

[@wheelsceneblading]

Fox red Labrador

[@joshcontreras8821]

So can the THEM soul plates fit on these

[@wheelsceneblading]

Doubt it. The Echo soul plate is wider.

[@TroyRank]

Your kids are so much nicer than ours....😂😂

[@wheelsceneblading]

That's because it was in a posh part of town and their teacher was supervising! If I was skating a council estate, it would have been a completely different story!

[@missionsinspace]

so what are those pants?!

[@wheelsceneblading]

@@missionsinspace Route One baggy jeans, cheep and cheerful

[@yt.damian]

Red labrador?

[@wheelsceneblading]

Red Fox Lab, yeah

[@yt.damian]

@@wheelsceneblading he's beautiful - oh and nice skating!

[@gre-vo]

Please tell me he’s named after happy hardcore dj dougal 😂

[@wheelsceneblading]

I have no idea who that is. I’m a post hardcore, emo, nu metal kid!

[@dp9738]

No take, only throw

[@PCKC1988]

did you give your dog water?

[@wheelsceneblading]

Of course! Every spot!
