THIS FACTORY MAKES THE BEST WHEELS FOR INLINE & QUAD SKATING, SKATEBOARDING & SCOOTERS

[@shpuply]

Such fun insight into the inner workings of the urethane wheel industry. He genuinely seems very into his job. And he knows,and respects,his employees. So glad I watched this. Thank you Lino!

[@bladingisdad]

This was great! Rode Dead wheels for a year. Just switched out some year old Undercovers for a set of SIC. To another year. Much respect to Tony and everyone at Aend Industries!!!

[@billdrill22]

What a smart business man. One, for getting out of CA, and two, for helping other businesses grow.

[@darren6762]

I absolutely loved that!! It's awesome seeing big companies from the inside, and to see a company making inline wheels that I use, I loved it and the young gentleman Tony is on the ball with wheel making and design, I freaking loved this video Ricardo! well done Tony and well done Ricardo for the video!!! You could have stayed there all day and I would have watched.

[@PrentisPerkins]

I really appreciate Ricardo and this video and videos like it. It allows you to see a different side of skating and a deeper look into where it came from and how it’s still going after all this time

[@Ur_fav_brunette_Stacy]

Fascinating look behind the scenes! Happy to see wheels being made in TX.

[@hyphydan]

They may as well be made in Mexico or Guatemala

Yea I want to see who puts the lace eyes on

[@chilli-iceolive-abode2447]

I'd love to see the person that fails to put the cuff bolt t-nuts on correctly. Seriously the last few pairs from the PS Umbrella have incorrectly installed hardware among other little things. Love their skates and all the things they're bringing out, but I wish they had better quality control.

[@yaakoverlanger1131]

@@chilli-iceolive-abode2447 totally agreed I had sway team 3's myself and the cuff broke. But they were amazing with costumers service and they sent me new ones really fast

[@SteveJohnsHB]

Rob Harrington. I miss Konjure so much. I remember going to Aend Industries in HB, where I live and am 2 blocks away and seeing the first Konjure Sample and grabbed them to shipped to Rob. So made it to Florida some didn’t. Hahaha. Good times. Still have my first set.

[@NoQualmsTheArtist]

I've broken many bones because of Senate Skate videos, in my youth 🤣 Good to see the dude still going.

[@fondullis1]

i feel willy wonka of the skating world just give you a tour of the factory, super cool vid🤯

[@themostawesometripswithzac5839]

I remember them building there in Hutto Tx, I lived less than a mile from them. Great company to work with!! They made Konjure wheels, Just BTW

[@Elkins24]

I have their wheels Rollerblade Hydrogen Preminum 84mm/85a... They are a great wheel

[@Katerman007]

MPC is also from them?

[@lpseem3770]

What a nerdy interview. Excellent.

[@james-ted-garland]

that was really interesting!

21:55 now I know where my wheels come from ❤Love both my 110 and 80 UC blanks :) Nice insight into the wheel industry!

Wow thanks for that video, Its so cool to see where wheels come from.

[@dancorvalan3205]

Sup Lino, this is a great topic because i keep having an issue with my wheels. They all fail due to core debonding and separating from the urethane. I have about 50 wheels stored that broke with this issue. Theyre from different brands and i still keep them because i hope to find a way to repair them, many failed while being practically new, and i keep them hoping i eventually find a way to repair them so i can use them, and by doing so i wont have just wasted the $600 i spent on buying them all. Some of the wheels are: (they failed very early, after couple wheeks and just 1mm, they should ve last much much longer) -> 22 Hyper Fat Boys 72mm 84a -> 4 Kryptonics Rampage 72mm 85a -> 12 Ground Control 64mm 90a -> Rollerblade Supreme 80mm 85a (those failed at half life) -> Red Eye Jarrod Banning 64mm 90a -> Gawds original wheels from my FM2 skates, i guess 62mm 90a failed very prematurely as well. But i doubt its my fault, that i keep doing something wrong thats causing this. Some wheels that did not broke and i was able to use till the end are the Hyper Juvenile Delinquent 63mm 92a (lasted till being 48mm), Hyper X-360 Cross-Fit 80mm 82a, K2 aggressive, Eulogy 58mm 90a (these, recently, began to fail as well but at the end of the lifecycle). So its not like i am misusingy wheels. Please help me out. Thanks

[@carnerageno]

Awesome video! I've been curious where my wheels were coming from.

[@zaheerkagee4077]

These are all amazing inline skating wheel brands...... (great content on inside story of how these cool wheels are made, respect).......

[@MolrikE]

Superb info! Very interesting to see a real plant for wheels. Well done!

[@philstlparkour]

The Iqon Eco wheels are so good for speed and durability! They are the only wheels I buy now =)

[@_s_p_a_r_k_e_s_7615]

This was an awesome video! Never new how interesting wheel manufacturing could be

[@DashDrones]

Serious setup..😳 Amazing

[@nordnung]

good and instructive video. Thank U Ricardo and Tony.

[@Mendy_A]

Great video dude And cool idea actually

[@JunVanMars]

Awsome watch. Learned a lot.

[@fisherchi]

This is so interesting. I always wondered how skate parts were made, especially the wheels.

[@RobG.rollerblading]

Fascinating! Thank you for the investigative reports Lino!!!

[@80skates]

Amazing Ricardo!

[@HeavenonWheels]

What is the full list of brands they manufacture for? The last set of Undercover wheels I got are amazing!

[@TheRealestIdealist]

This really made me appreciate the industry sooo much more! Thanks for this video!

[@antonvrieling2718]

think i'll be sending of an email. Great vid. incredibly informative, and just what i've been looking for.

*THAT* was an unique inside video! 😃👍 Muito obrigado, Ricardo!

[@lander1603]

Great video fully in depth....but you forgot one thing and that is....(to say) "Never forget why we started skating".

[@NoProHarrie]

Because we are NoPro

[@pouringblue7]

Because we are unpro

Are those green cored wheels also Matter G13?

[@baile13]

Caraca, muito bom esse vídeo Ricardo! Te acompanho faz quase um mês e o conteúdo que vc traz é sempre bacana!

[@CyBORG1208]

this is so awesome, I would give it 10 thumbs up if I could!

[@philip7343]

I'm pretty sure the freezing your wheels myth came from the Ryan Sheckler MTV cribs episode when he shows his freezer full of his wheels.

[@mcerruti77]

Em Sines podiamos fazer uma fabriqueta destas... a Repsol Polimeros produz TPU, PLA, etc...

[@buskergirl]

Boss man is really enthusiastic about skating! 👍 Do you by any chance have friends who can make the retractable wheels work? So that your skates can be turned into shoes with a push of a button? I know a cheap and useless version already exists, but the idea is excellent! If only someone could improve it. 🙏

[@Martin_Krutina]

Thank you for this one 👍

[@seanlowkey9388]

10:45 at first i thought those were the rollerblade hydrogen pro. But overall same concept

Just one question what was in Tony’s cup?

Great video Ricardo ! Are gawds, iqon, dead and undercover all the same wheels then ? Also where are the Red eye wheels made ?

Hi, Great video. What is this place called?

okay, so the guy is holding onto his cup for 35 minutes of probably cut video footage... what's in the damn cup that's so precious?

So where I can buy this best wheels 😮

[@zachhendrix01]

im having a hard time finding the companys website

[@svenky00]

I'm wondering if I can get an email from Tony to contact him for collaboration.

[@chevalsauer]

My BIG ? revolves around the best wheel for me, if the hardness measure isn't the way to measure best wheel for sliding on street, pavement, concrete, esplanade surfaces like Bill Stoppard..... he's short, trim, younger and light, im 6foot7, 135 kgs, and 50, and my understanding is the highr hardness level means less grip and more slide, and the 85a just to softer ratio to power slider, or do I just need to practice more.... only been at it 4 years now. And does the profile roundness also play a part ie more rounder fatter than slimmer - I think so.....?

[@Itsmedansee]

The noise in that facility is horrendous!! Those poor workers to have that drilled in their head 5 days a week 😵‍💫🤮

[@NoProHarrie]

Sorry what did you say? All I can hear is this weird hissing sound 😅

[@chrisw3327]

Yeah! Maybe the skate brands need to ensure a responsible supply chain....workers' conditions and all that. It could be an accredited and audited standard that consumers would be interested in too.

[@JOTHACORE]

A handful of people wear ear protection. 😟. I have worked in a factory before and my bosses were all over us to wear PPE.

[@stevoman6786]

What do you think how cars are made? Lol

[@chilli-iceolive-abode2447]

A lot of production is noisy, I'm sure if it's bothering them they can ask for ear plugs/defenders. The fact some of the workers chose to move with the company says they're pretty happy to be fair.

[@waltonsimons5242]

Explains why the high quality US made wheels dried up in certain sizes. Needs me some of them undercover team blanks....

[@kenmastersmaster]

Anybody know the pricing? Guessing an 80mm wheel costs this guy 30 cents to produce. Sells it for $1 to a wheel "brand" who sells it for $3 to a skateshop who will resell it around $9 retail

[@exa0247]

They don't do inline speed skating wheels for pro athletes? they seem to do only for recreational inline skating

Aend doesn't make the best wheels. Even the mushroom bladers guys are using Chinese manufacturers. Gyro is Korean they make better wheels these days as well

[@GeorgeWPush]

How do we know when or if they change a formula?? Also, are Iqon wheels any good even though they have vegan bullshit in em?
