The Future of Skates? AirTrick First Impressions

[@AlphoxHD]

the fact that the name is almost definitley a reference to Air Treks is so cool!!!!! Air Gear is real

[@sunnybunny1209]

Now we just need the magnetic part so we can skate up buildings

[@Saint_Medusa]

@@sunnybunny1209 oh lordt probably won't happen in my life time but sounds amazing

[@filipivan5125]

This is such a great spot for skating. Makes me so jealous !

[@laidbaqq]

Very interesting. I'd love to see you all try the inline version.

[@Benjamin-vx2ot]

there are inlines too?? is there a link to it?

[@shantiboomj]

Would love to try them! I used to do aggressive rollerblading back in the day, still have my USD throne dustin latimers

[@ericjames9481]

Like how the guy at the end with skating form did some rink tricks. Def a good way to rid muscle atrophy and jet lag!

[@esk8jaimes]

This might actually become really popular; it's rare that you see electric skates with an electric skateboard remote, especially the higher 17mph top speed, regen brakes and 2.5-3ah battery.

[@carkmagus6219]

Dope video! I was pumped when I saw they selected you as one of the beta testers. Would love to hear your thoughts on these once you skate them more. Some questions I would be curious about is how are they for general city skating? The wheels look pretty budget making me think they would have a hard time on rougher city streets. How do we feel going up or down hill?

[@babysumo57]

Agreed..a part two with reviews from everyone, suggestions, etc would also be helpful! Thanks for sharing this with us.

[@MrGrimlocke]

This kind of reminds me of the anime Air Gear

[@SaccoBelmonte]

That spot you're in is sick!

[@SkaegSkater]

Pier 76, BINY and E-skates!? All the coolest things of New York I missed :(

[@BINY_Channel]

Sorry we didnt get to meet up. I Was only available for the morning skates. And you did all the evening ones lol

[@SkaegSkater]

@@BINY_Channel All good in the hood. Waking up at 6am cali time was too hard after staying up till 5am NYC time to edit. This gives me a reason to visit again though. Hope to run into you at another skate event! Until then roll on homie and keep up the great vids.

[@chilli-iceolive-abode2447]

First I saw the Escend Frames are for sale in the UK and now I see these powered plate things. It's interesting more powered skate stuff is coming to market, I do wonder who the target market is though? I can only assume it's people that don't skate, because the vast majority of skaters enjoy the actual act of skating.

[@888alphaable]

Well, that sure is interesting. It looks like there's a quad skate toe stop for that heel break, which is wild. I'm really impressed with how well they got the 'user experience' down, but I'm equally surprised that they're a strap-on and didn't come with a boot. I guess the proof will be in how mechanically reliable they are. I get the impression that this will hit it's stride when they develop an inline setup, but I'd wanna hear your thoughts.

[@Thundrblade]

maybe check us out ;)

[@Benjamin-vx2ot]

maybe thats the thing...use your shoes 🙂

[@dropdead266]

Damn I was waiting for you to get on them!!!

[@BINY_Channel]

What if I told you I did get on them, but a certain someone forgot to press record 😄

[@dropdead266]

@@BINY_Channel redo!!!😭😭😭🤣🤣

[@根本穂高]

After receiving the product and using it for just 15 minutes a day on the second day, the fixing strap on the front wheel side was cut. I replaced it with another strap, and to my dismay, within minutes, the new strap was also cut. Upon inspecting the strap on the opposite leg, I noticed a crack, even though it hadn't broken yet. I contacted the AIRTRICK TEAM, and their response was that the straps are prone to being cut to protect the ankle. Their initial suggestion was to purchase additional straps. However, it's important to note that nowhere on the website or in the manual is it mentioned that the straps are susceptible to frequent damage, necessitating additional purchases, as in my case. When I raised this concern with them, they agreed to send me a replacement strap but suggested that I bear the shipping cost. I am very disappointed that the straps are breaking at such a high frequency, requiring additional purchases, which is cost-prohibitive. I was also disappointed in the response from the AIRTRICK TEAM. I have included these details in my review to share this experience with others.

[@jackleung0124]

I wonder how the motor work on 8:37. It was rotating forward originally, but what about he jumps and switch to backward at that moment?

[@joeschmo2693]

Meh. If the battery lasts long enough to get you to work, I guess you wouldn't be sweaty when you got there. For recreation, kind of defeats the purpose of skating, which is to skate. Think I'd prefer a moped with a cargo rack for my skates, and a hockey stick holster.

[@PlantbasedRunners]

Take your inlines with you to leave work at high speed and full sweat

[@5dollars237]

I hope they make electric boosted skates some time soon.

[@sonicsportsla]

🔥for a company to electrify skates⚡ A future inline variant would be more maneuverable.

[@Thundrblade]

yep. our 2018 model was way more maneuverable.

[@BINY_Channel]

Hey Thundr I've been keeping an eye out for you frames. Would love to test drive them. Sent you DM on IG

[@ajnazatahm]

@@Thundrblade do yours strap on shoes and fit in a small backpack?

[@shantiboomj]

I'm very curios how they handle when you pump, I think they can enhance your speed for tricks; but it's scary that it's quad, for me lol

[@Saint_Medusa]

You have to hold down the break ? That's actually nice curious how they'll develop the brake

[@edwinpajor8133]

I just ordered mine and it’s still ondee construction where did you order yours from becouse mine said it was through indigo

[@BINY_Channel]

I was a chosen to test the prototypes, I didnt pay for them. The ones I had were not a production model.

[@edwinpajor8133]

@@BINY_Channel so how did you like them honestly I can not wait for mine

[@BINY_Channel]

They were fun to play around with, i only ever really used them in the environment in the video. The heal lock part ultimately broke. I let the company know ( job was to test and give feedback) . My skates were not production models .I haven't used them since

[@edwinpajor8133]

@@BINY_Channel ever want to sell them?

[@kuohcheeyang4830]

Hi BINY, dope product review you showed in this video and loved it max!! Just one quick deal-breakable question before i get mine from indigogo. From the review and product picture shown in Airtricks website, the rear motor-powered wheel tires thickness seems much thinner than then usual skate wheel tires. Based on ur opinion, how far /how long do you think the tires will last (on tarmac surface) before the tires fully wear out and eats into the core metal of the motorized wheel hub? A general set of 100mm 85A wheel (Triskate setup) can last me about a year with daily use for 5-6km. Will be a big disappointment if the skates tires only last for months or a year and we need to replace the entire need electronic wheelhub that comes together with the tire which i assume will be costly.

[@BINY_Channel]

I haven't used them beyond what you saw in the video. I used them in an ideal environment for about two hours. Didn't see much wear on wheels. But I can't honestly make a good call on how they will hold up. I've been very busy so maybe I can make an extensive review in the future. This was a unboxing and first impressions

[@kuohcheeyang4830]

@@BINY_Channel looking forward to ur next extensive review! Cheers :)

[@raffman4266]

Would like to ask trevor: where he bought his wicked wrist guards from?

[@esk8jaimes]

Imma need a set in the style of Shadow the Hedgehog's hover shoes!

[@Gigusx]

Interesting product but I've never been a huge fan of the self-driving (rolling?) scooters, skateboards, now skates, etc.

[@spartankittygames]

How good are they at going over cracks and stuff?

[@TheAnimeist]

They remind me of the Segway Drift W1s. Not good for commuting but okay for doing tricks.

[@fractale467]

hi! Can we use them like simple roller skate? sorry for my english

[@Ramzytrickx]

Do you think you could disassemble the skate and see if the batteries can be swapped? I would buy this instantly if I could swap the batteries.

[@BINY_Channel]

Not sure, but doesn't seem like the batteries are swappable without completely taking them apart. Been busy , I'll try to get to it in the future.

[@PTaggartd]

Can you test the range and speed?

[@BINY_Channel]

9 miles. Max speed 17mph

Beautiful review with all those "shit" inbetween.. hehe..

It's a review on a channel about New Yorkers who skate, so there's definitely gonna be lots of cursing 😄

[@chilli-iceolive-abode2447]

Ahhh shit

[@shantiboomj]

Imagine going full speed, jump over stairs..do a 540 and land with them on full speed reverse! holyshit!

[@MohrsCircle]

I think the UK version is better. You can actuall mount it on a boot

[@BINY_Channel]

I'm trying to get my hands on them. Well see. Hopefully I can come by some to do a comparison
