THEM SKATES 909 REVIEW // ARE THEY GOOD?

[@basiccycleco]

I'm pretty sure the space in the lacing is for flex in that spot. With the wider gap it provides a natural pivot point for your ankle forward I believe.

[@gini7852]

hello I'm from Portugal it was my cousin (Alexandre) who recommended this channel to me

[@MrDaanram]

Reminds me of the poppy skates. Don’t particularly like the shape. But great review and keen to hear about the RL’s.

[@DirtyNoiz84]

Oh yeeah the Poppy, my first Agressiv Blades.

[@drewgoh]

Rl1! I'm so curious!!

[@agoaley]

Great review Ricardo. Love your skating in the intro, and the tune suits perfectly.

[@jeremynosek4185]

Great Review RL! I've preordered some of the Danny Beer 909's and hoping they deliver in the next week or two.

[@jeremy9203]

The Danny Beer skates look good but damn they are relatively expensive!

[@Hellfire4]

heads up the cuff bolts come out pretty easy on the white 909s and it maybe the same for the those. would consider applying loctite to them.

[@jaynejati4914]

Per JJ, they should arive in the US on the 4th; so if you bought from Them directly, I'd expect it to ship out the week of the 6th.

[@bobsaget3044]

Just getting back into blades I used to have a pair of Bauer civility’s when I was a kid and loved them and looking at (them) skates now and am super excited about it maybe get into shape a bit too haha!

[@alchemicalcreations]

Awesome! Love your tricks for this review. I am super excited to hear about the Ricardo Lino Liners and the Fluid V! I love the fluid V frame, I'll be trying out the Roces Liners soon as well :)

[@berniemontenegro6690]

Just got my pair yesterday...loving them! Skating them with medium oysi frames (68mm on inside and outside, 60mm in the middle), going to try antirocker setup today

[@a-elberg]

You didn’t have to alter the souls to fit those wheels did you?

[@khanjisantos]

I am new to this culture, what exactly did you mean by oysi frames and the MMs inside and out? I am really really interesting in skating. I’d appreciate it if you can take your time to explain to me 😊

[@helgevig5134]

​​@@khanjisantosoysi is a frame brand that makes flat setup frames where the two axle holes in the middle sit a tiny bit lower than the ones on the ends of the frame. That means you are supposed to run smaller wheels in the middle and larger on the ends, in order to have a flat setup. The guy above said he was using 60 mm (millimeters) sized wheels in the middle, and 68 mm on the ends of the frame (or outside, as he put it).

[@ericbernardi8116]

Haha... Do we even need a RL1 review? Just seeing you skate every setup with the "Ricardo Lino " liner lately tells me it has to be great :P The white boot is so stylish but seems not to stay clean for long sadly :(

[@timz85]

them skates seem to be hugely popular among pros and other very talented riders

[@iamjoeyg]

Diggin the all black outfit! Great review, homie.

[@mylesjohnson7351]

I love my thems the soul plate takes some getting use too but I also skate razors shift and roces 5th elements and I can skate all 3 at the park in one day and not have any issues

[@probablytheamaziiingtim2915]

Razors Shift vs Roces 5th Element vs M12 Vs Aeon, which you recommend to an intermediate skater?

[@Seaguld]

I enjoyed listening to this while rolling my joints..... i want more of these videos... Thanks dude

[@Hogib35]

So are they a big wide. I have wide feet and wondering if theyre good for wide feet?

[@Surfkaster]

I'm size 11US in Adidas and have wider feet. Size L in Them has heaps of room for my feet.

[@GhostMushroom88]

Cant wait for the kizer fluid 5 review 🤘

[@xdepredatex]

Appreciate the thorough review! 🙏🏽

[@Defoone]

What about plastic durability and the stock liner?

[@RicardoLino]

Plastic durability I will need to do a follow up. The stock liners I don’t wanna use them. This was more of a review of my then setup. During the video I spoke about both things. And also having RL liner why would I skate the stock thems? I known you understand me ;)

[@Defoone]

@@RicardoLino hahaha yeah I have the RL1 too and it’s fuckin 🔥. I was just curious about soulplate durability and stock liner because I hear complete opposite opinions,

[@81Garret]

Ricardo rarely reviews a skate the way it actually comes. Unfortunately you'd have to go elsewhere it drives me batty that he doesn't feel the need to review how a skate comes often enough.

[@Defoone]

@@81Garret I agree. Speaking about the stock skate and then the way it feels different in the setup you make from it can be a game changer for someone. Also, not Ricardo’s case, but I hate when KZbinrs make wheels review grinding a ledge. Skate them some distance, make slides, test them on shitty grounds, that way you’ll see how much a wheel last and perform. Skating straight to grind a ledge only show you can grind in my opinion.

[@chilli-iceolive-abode2447]

@@81Garret I don't know anyone that's ever skated a skate stock, me included!

[@raphaelf2288]

nice one thanks. also, looking forward to the seba cj liner review ;-)

[@mikolaj1400]

Are Them 909 wider than Roces M12?

[@drewgoh]

Yes. How's the fit and ability compared with the m12?

[@PaperLychie]

I would love to see your skates collection updated!!

[@homebrecker]

What size fluid v’s are those? I want the medium 909s not sure what size frames to get.

[@TYbudgie]

Now that it's been almost a year...do you feel like these boots hold up well? Being a softer skate, have they lost support over time?

[@AlmostLakai94]

Curious about this too tbh. My birthday is coming up and I'm tempted to finally try either 909s or the Farmer Sways lol

[@justinlinelines]

hundredth like! Thought you had your own pro liner for a second there!

[@busyboxst7]

When you say not noisy, are they not squeaky? I'm not sure if 908 or 909 but times I've seen people skating Thems they often seem to creak like boards in the floor of an old house (plastic on plastic, so I assume it's a cuff thing probably?).

[@JuanOmar]

hello is the 909 model 2019? Thank you

[@flurry9592]

Is that okay to me as amateur to buy the dany beer them skates for my first shoes?

[@GerdGuchl]

it is - but don't use the tool that comes in the box! By the way: cuff screw down! Gives you way less heel lift in this boot!

[@talynsimpson1839]

Can you put on Powerblading frames if you wanted to do urban skating??

[@DavidZafra]

what about size?? smaller than real?

[@walterteran7382]

Whats the biggest roces r1 u could fit in a medium skate

[@toneeviera8336]

They look dope

[@bullet7826]

Really nice review RL! 👍👍👍 Love them! 😍 Btw. Kizer Fluid V is a anti rocker frame. The flat frame from Kizer is slimeline II.

[@chilli-iceolive-abode2447]

Kizer fluid 4 is an anti rocker frame. The fluid v (5) is a flat frame 👍

[@adeadlyfart13]

@@chilli-iceolive-abode2447 agreed I have the Kizer Fluid V

[@renatoefamilia]

Ricardo, u did mention about roces M12 soulplate, the white one is harder, did u mean they slide better or worse than the black ones?

[@bburnnone]

Oxygens had the best backslide groove.

[@nellskates5806]

@ricardo lino, you're using Medium Thems right? We still have a few 909 in stock.

[@RicardoLino]

Wow let’s organize something please. Can you DM me on instagram?

[@OnnoKaell]

@ricardo lino - You said, that the undercover 55mm 92a wheels were a bit hard...could you perhaps elaborate on that, as I am considering buying those wheels for my Kizer fluid 5 frame on my 909!? Thank you

[@OnnoKaell]

@Ricardo -Any feedback?

[@martin4578]

Love ya socks mate where did you get them? 😂😂

[@shaneshanekavanagh]

Admiring them meself

[@theandrewcummins]

I have the Kizer Fluid V’s with 60mm wheels in them. Don’t like it tbh. Did you say you had 55mm in them? What’s the smallest size they’ll take flat?

[@judaslink3588]

i really hope i can snag a pair of danny beers transparent boot!

[@choasbringsorder4298]

Getting back into inline in my 30s. Having a hard time finding skates in the US. Any suggestions?

[@fumurph]

Move to Europe 😊

[@Hellfire4]

buying online, roller warehouse has done me well.

[@Flooozeee]

Intuition skate shop, Oak city skate shop, Roller warehouse, to name a few.

[@chilli-iceolive-abode2447]

You get a lot more than us in Europe over in the US, you don't need anymore!

[@Alexalexdave]

Informative. Thanks

[@SteveJohnsHB]

Could use some b-roll of the parts of you are talking about so it’s not such a static shot talking with out a break.

[@leonflex7536]

They look amazing

[@Leri0th]

909 vs aeon?

[@JavierGarcia-yl4cr]

Had a sean durst pair. I destroyed the soulplates and surprise !!!50 euros for soulplates hahaha went back to my carbons.

[@cyroshiro]

Yeah . My them 908s soul plate has gone in 6 months and paying 50 euros for a soft plastic is not fair. In the end of the day I came back to usd skates

[@mr.rodriguez5099]

Good or not they don't fit me😔

Where you get the cap from haha? I want one

[@gagemccracken3875]

Honestly it’s hard to focus on the review when your wearing such a fire hat

[@Cryjackoas]

Thank you very much for your Reviews 👍 Can you tell me what are the best Skates for Royals at the moment ? I m skating for more than 20 years with a lot of Breaks in this years. Now I want to buy a new Skate that locks and feels save when you are doing Royals on the boot, i mean deep ones when you know what i me 😃 Can you give me an advice ? Thank you and have a nice day ✌️

[@richardschlieske2104]

Hi ricardo please make 125mm 110 mm videos in the future please . THE BEST INLINE SKATES FOR A WIDE BIG SIZE 15 FOOT ")

[@urzassaga]

i always wonder why i don’t see you skating THEMs anymore, do you still like them? maybe you just don’t like them as much as other things that have come out?

[@felipesenler8311]

the more it looks like a Stormtrooper shoe the better

[@ChiroSpeedskating]

Me sees Ricardo wearing Black: 'Oh no, someone died!' Ricardo: 'We talk about the White Them Skate' Me: 'Yepp, all the other skate brands just died by this beautiful skate!'

[@gabanlange9793]

Sweeet

[@bobbobertbobberton1073]

No they are certainly not good. The cost 400 quid for a plastic boot, its a trend boot that everyone go's 'oohhh and ahhhh' for no reason at all. The Sagona Sways are better and are half the price.

[@kaziupir]

They look like rental ice skates

[@raddog1478]

pretty much a 2020 fila/airwalk skate

[@TheKingofTheSwing]

Why do they make skates so small if you are a full grown man and wear a size 8 idk how the fuck you are full grown lol idk man mabey Americans are just huge I guess but fuck never find a skate I want that is in my size everytime I seen a pair that i like go to look baby sized infant i was size 8 at like 7 years old like lol wtf these skates for instance I go look everywhere and the biggest size I seen was 10 1/2 that's it 13 to 14 is unheard of I guess

[@DominicSchlegel369]

[@simonemiglioli1165]

908 looks much better than this.

[@sandman503]

Probably the worst buckle on the planet, how did you not mention that?

[@GerdGuchl]

yeah that buckle, that tool that comes in the box, the cuff screw who pulls into the liner or you loose it are def. things they have to improve

[@drinkingpoolwater]

i never liked the way THEMs look. they're kinda ugly tbh.
