USD AEON80 REVIEW - FOR WHO IS THIS SKATE?

[@kacysmith4060]

Shout out to all of us in our 30s and 40s getting back in to skating 🤙🏾

[@RS-xq6je]

I'm the only one in these parts, people look at me like I've got two heads had the odd fat pisshead shout harmless stuff too.

[@yt.damian]

50s...

[@johnravelo6321]

Dude I’m 42 and getting back looking for what skates to get ahahahahhahahhahahhahahahh

[@mindsetoverhaul]

41. Started again a month ago. Was pretty decent when i was 15. Body don't bounce anymore though. Already fractured my left wrist haha

[@oOs4MzOo]

Yeah!! Going back lol 36 atm been a long time

[@TheJooshIsLoose]

Duuuude the plastic tabs tip changed my life! I was getting so fed up with these buckles not staying down and constantly catching them on eachother. Now they're perfectly snug and stay put. Thanks for pointing that out!

[@christopherstruth2820]

He blew up my mind too. Crazy!!!!! Im gonna go to the park and try them NOW!! Cant wait. THANK YOU @Ricardo Lino

[@splodgefpv5927]

I only got in to skating again last month aged 35, riding aeon 60 and fancy big wheels as well. Last night I saw THEM skates 80mm 😍😍

[@patrickbautista5107]

Been thinking of getting these, been riding power blades but miss the h-block grinds.. like I wanna use them as a Freeskate/wizard blades but throw down some grinds too

[@jda79]

I've heard moving the cuff to the lower position gives it more lateral support. I'm going to try that on mine

[@laidbaqq]

It does. I thought raising it would help but found lowering it to be best.

[@masterofnone1481]

Can you do this with all skates?

[@jda79]

@@masterofnone1481 the aeon cuff has 2 positions it can be mounted in, not all skates will have adjustable cuffs but some do

[@jda79]

Expensive bearings have better tolerances so you feel dirt and damage easier than with cheaper bearings

[@BlackyRay_Patrick]

Can't really support that claim.... Since I bought my first wicket abec 9 bearings I finally don't hear and feel dust and dirt instantly when I leave the street. Even rain doesn't matter. At least for multiple session....

[@ryn_pail]

@@BlackyRay_Patrick and Wicked Abec 9 bearings are on the "cheaper" end of abec 9 bearings. So maybe that's the sweet spot.

[@BlackyRay_Patrick]

@@ryn_pail abec 9 bearings are still higher priced than abec 5 and 7 of nearly any brand. So price alone seems not to be the important point. Logically it doesnt even make sense to me. I would say what matters the most are the sealings and which oil or fat is used for the bearings....

[@zackmarkham4240]

@@BlackyRay_Patrick It's a combination of both, quality doesn't mean price and price doesn't mean quality. But Wicked seem to be a sweet spot between those two, their price means quality. Also, the higher the rating means the tighter the tolerances, meaning the higher the price. Tighter the tolerance, means less space for dirt, dust, and water to get in as well as less space for things to get loose creating rattling or any other sounds. So, no matter the price or brand, an Abec 9 will be better quality than an Abec 5 from the same brand. At least, that's how I understand it.

[@BlackyRay_Patrick]

@@zackmarkham4240 yes but what you say is exactly the opposite of what the furst Person said. The first Person said expensive bearings would have more tolerance and you would feel dirt earlier.... I would also understand it as you say it. Since higher class bearings are obviously more expensive this will also increase quality of fat sealings and existing space and changes of making noise. But the other Person told the opposite thing.

[@totallyrobot]

Best intro you have ever filmed and edited. GG

[@laidbaqq]

I would better enjoy the AEON80 if it were an actual freeskate. The fit and mold of the skate is perfect for my foot but is very limited as a hybrid.

[@maxskaterap94]

what do you mean ?

[@uu3903]

Sounds like these skates could be greatly improved by adding on the wing-shaped cuff supports found on USD Sway Chris Farmer's and Gawds Tim Franken's. Both have thin, stiff foam pieces that Velcro to the back of the liners to increase stiffness and support. They do wonders for locking in your foot and eliminating heel lift. I tried the TF1 wings on my Powerslide Next MyFit Recall liners and it feels amazing and locked in. I just don't know if these wings are sold separately because I've spent an embarrassing amount of time skate shopping online and have never seen them.

[@frizzer1970]

Hi, my Aeon 80s came with those cuff supports included on the liners.

[@buddyk1674]

great to see Rob G with ya!

[@OtavioRios.]

Love the energy and vibe this video gives.

[@Shad0wmoses]

i have k2 uptowns right now...i wonder how it feels comparatively to that. i dont have much of a frame of reference since prior to skating the k2's starting last year...i hadnt skated since i was 13. i am 35 rn.

[@dancorvalan3205]

Sup, what about the middle wheels (the 2 and 3) where omnidirectional wheels? That would eliminate the possibility of wheel bite when doing grinds.

[@fitzfizzy]

Yessss I've been waiting for this review

[@UrbanIndian]

Hi Ricardo, weich size did you get for your 275 feet? I have the same size feet. Thank you for your great content. Best regards.

[@rafakoodziejczuk4151]

Ricardolino would you taste rollerblade cruiser 80 or RB x pro. I am waiting on video 😀

[@justjordan8018]

No I need wheels so small I can barely tell if I am riding on the bearing already.

[@hubertkotlinski7407]

I ride on freeskates rollers and I do grabs and slides on them. I wanted to add grinds to my skating, so these skates will by perfect for me. But I have one question: Is it possible to do slides like powerslide or parrel slide on these roller skates?

[@hubertkotlinski7407]

Because I don't know if the shoe will touch the ground while sliding. If this happens, the slide will be less comfortable

[@hubertkotlinski7407]

?

[@stijnsannen6709]

I can powerslide on the 60 mm version so you should be fine, i cant really do parallels yet but i think it should be possible

[@iuno777]

which one is better? this one or the older version?

[@korytvytaccount8173]

Man those are nice. I wish so bad that USD made them for a 30cm foot.

[@narutosmack]

So are you saying I've got to buy a 2nd pair of skates to take the liner out and swap them to make these skates work?

[@mysunsetglasses]

You can buy liners by themselves

[@DJSKETCHYPETE]

Is that Rob G?

[@timmcgaugh2831]

Second year into it @57and lovin it.

[@Op614Roll]

The unstoppable Rob G 🔥🙏🏆

[@kylejones7252]

I disagree on the shell laces. You can get locked in. It sucks if you’re commuting!

[@BradSpring147]

Hey Ricardo, been watching your channel for a while now. Love your content ❤️ I just had someone break into my car and steal my aggressive skates. I can't afford to pay my deductible on my insurance so it doesn't really matter that I was insured I can't repair my window or replace my skates. I really want to get back to the park on my skates. Got any extra pairs from reviews like these?

[@Toady85]

Die Location is der HAmmer!!

[@juliojosellanosparias4902]

Thise skates are good for rute?

[@doctorstainy]

Rob G suprise!

[@gr1zzed915]

Everybody seems to lock the top buckle the wrong way around on aeons dunno why.

[@SuperflyJon]

Do you mean the strap he broke below rather than above the over strap?

[@gr1zzed915]

@@SuperflyJon yeah exactly

[@FelineNinja]

How are you supposed to lock them then?

[@gr1zzed915]

@@FelineNinja The triangular hook thingies on the big fin of the cuff are supposed to hold the whole cuff in place, not just the strap. Small cuff fin needs to go between those triangular thingies. If you lock the small fin under the big fin it defeats the whole purpose of the design and you can't tighten them and they'll be loose. Small fin needs to go over the big fin between the triangular hook thingies

[@FelineNinja]

@@gr1zzed915 problem is with that is the triangular hook thingies can't hold the small cuff fin because they are too small when you tighten them a lot (I have skinny legs) and the small cuff fin goes over the triangular hooks rather than being held by the triangular hooks

[@thomasashley-smith245]

I don’t really see the point of this skate. You are better off buying a UFS boot and a couple of different frames if you are thinking about aggressive but not ready to commit. Or just buy a proper free style skate. The 60mm Aeon is great because it’s full on aggressive, no compromise because you don’t need to change the frame. I suppose as there is not a great deal of cost associated with the moulding change it’s an easy skate to make… so that’s why it exists. But it’s very niche.

[@Rollerbalder]

I will agree that it's niche, but I think you really need to skate them to understand. They are a great compromise between FSK and aggressive. The shell is super supportive and responsive due to the one-piece design, and there's not really a 4x80 UFS frame that has this large of an H-block on the market. It's also going to sit lower than a UFS boot with a big wheel setup. So I see your point, but I think there are lots of people who really love the skate and for whom it suits their style of skating. I skate mostly park and this is one of the skates I use most frequently.

[@319isthename]

@@Rollerbalder yup, I’m one of those happy users. They’re my only set since Feb ‘20 and I use them on the street and in the park. But even as a happy user I’m still familiar with the thoughts and doubts that Thomas brought to the table. Especially when my progress is lacking, I always wonder if not having the most dedicated skate setup means that maybe a lot of extra effort is needed to overcome my inabilities.

[@BlackyRay_Patrick]

I also wouldn't like to drive to a Skatepark by car and changing frames permanently is also extremely annoying. So this will definitely be my next skate to visit a Skatepark as a mainly freeskater who just wants to learn some bew skills....

[@XKuzutoX]

For me I want this skate because aggressive skates are the only ones that don’t hurt my feet for some reason. So for the times I’m out doing recreational skating, I’d use these for that lol

[@apachecares]

Good day, can these be used to learn on? I think I would feel better with the lower height to learn. Advice please?

[@العكيدابراهيم-ر1ت]

It’s too expensive I prefer aeon 60

[@LeeMacfarlane]

X games :)

[@Austregalo]

I had these and they're not good skates for the knees. The frame is 280mm length and the h block is almost useless. Mid-quality skates. I sold them.

[@sergeynaryzhny9145]

could u explain why they aren't good for your knees?
