Usd Aeon 2019 Basic Full Review

[@spade4acer]

You have such a sick, clean, and energetic style. I enjoy watching you more than some pros. Big up!

[@acostablades8138]

Thank you🤙

[@michaelyeung2126]

As a USD fan I cannot agree more! Aeons give me so much comfort, and they perform so well! Carbons are fine for me after heat molding, but carbon frees, they give me lots of pain. So glad to see your wife understands your need and get exactly what makes you skate comfortably :D

[@tuttmasterc]

Going to get back into skating, haven't put on a pair in about 15 years at the time I had a pair of Razors Impacts I think. So I'm looking to see what's best for my budget and level getting back into it, and these were suggested to me.

[@gcroller93]

This is the first video of yours I’ve watched and gotta say I’m pleasantly surprised to see more blading platforms on KZbin, some KZbinrs I see are very monotone and frankly boring to watch but I think you nailed it, I subbed as well 🤟🏻

[@nicholaswest9146]

I went through the same exact thing with this skate. I skated carbon frees for a while, but ultimately had crazy ankle pain after a while. On a whim, I bought the Aeon 61's and they are just so comfortable. The power transfer is real. Skating flat is awesome.

[@LeslieJones_RSTRCTD]

Mmmm, your experience with the carbons is about the same I have going with mine... Trying to reshape the boot a little just to see if that works, but I might just ditch them all together. The Aeons seen to work a treat for you. Style also seems to become more fluent in these, Josh! Once again thanks for sharing insights. Keep the blade alive! #slacktoblading

[@cathycreatesart]

Decent street clips man. Wtf is up with your street spots, some of them are amazing, I've never seen coping street ledges until your videos and now I see you have 2 different ones!? And that wall ride spot is straight fire. The more hints of your street skating makes me want a full street edit more and more! Keep up the good work 👍

[@turbod27a]

Just picked up a pair of the 2021 aeon basics. First time riding flat. I haven’t skated in 15 years. Love the skates thanks for the review of them it definitely helped my choice. your videos have helped me relearn a lot of my old grinds. Keep up the good work.

[@acostablades8138]

Nice!! Hope you enjoy them as much as I do!

[@bluehandbradley5154]

I just ordered these skates after mulling over between these and carbons for a looong time! You’re detail on sizing really helped, thanks man!

[@freestylerollingmedia4706]

Glad you're foot is okay now and that you guys figured it out!! Big shoutout to you and your waifu for being amazing!! Keep up that amazing skating coming pls, much love!!

[@Conchobhar]

The best thing for arches is forefoot running barefoot or in minimalist footwear.

[@PacalB]

Truth!

[@johnl7126]

You got great style, but the best thing is you don’t bullshit about the products. Keep killing it

[@downonluck59]

Really enjoying your channel! I have a 25cm foot and actually ended up getting the 6-7 Aeons too. For me, they were way to snug with the stock liner. Probably could’ve made it work with a slim liner, but didn’t want to risk it. I think I have a med-high arch and the bone in my foot next to my little toe sticks out some. I ended up sending them back and got the 7.5-8 (US 8-9) and it was so much better. Might eventually swap out the liner, but the stock one will do for now. Keep up the cool videos!

[@downonluck59]

Actually just remeasured my foot this morning. Turns out it is 257mm 😅. That would explain why they were too tight.

[@thedenus]

Very nice review... Can't wait to receive the ones I just ordered (grey/white 72 mm). I'm an old school who used to ride on the K2 fatty and I thought that was the perfect replacement. You convinced me that I maked a great choice.Thank's!!

[@almostremembered]

Just got the Aeon 60 XIX (maybe last pair in the states haha) thanks to you, Ricardo, and other KZbin skaters. Thanks man

[@JFusion]

You make it look so easy man lol. Great to see you back brotha

[@BladerReboot]

Loving my Aeons so far! Those grooves are super slick. Thanks for all the tips and tutorials. You’ve helped me gain the confidence to get back into rollerblading.

[@acostablades8138]

Glad you like them! Just subbed, Go get em!

[@BladerReboot]

Acosta Blades thanks bro!!

[@CostaBlancaFrenchies]

Just ordered a pair of these as the Roces fifth elements I have been using hurt my feet when I soul grind, fingers crossed these are gonna work out well for me :)

[@DirtyNoiz84]

Cool that You Test the Aeons 60mm! For Me, i have the Aeons Team 2018black/white 60mm, and they are so Fast and so Wide for Soul tricks ! And soo Light and Confortables for Agressiv Blades ! Have a Good Ride and Enjoy Agressiv Blading ! One More Blue !

[@dogsandsmiles]

Supreme shred session... Love your style and positive energy. Always learn something from your vids.

[@almostremembered]

Hey Matt, great video as usual! Hasn't then Genesys always been hard shell, though? I know some of the cult-based skates had soft boots, like the Shimas and what not.

[@BLADINGonTheBrain]

I guess I asked the question on IG too soon. Thanks for the response there and the vid here.

[@acostablades8138]

Foot pain sucks, especially when you buy skates and love em but they just hurt to skate. Aeons have been Great.

You just made these skates look AMAZING!!! Holy crap you're good bro!! Hahaha I'm about to start Skating again and these look PERFECT! Great video🤯🤯🤯

[@Jonny_Booi]

@Acosta Blades nice vid, thx for the infos. but one question....normally i have a 41-42 (US 7,5 - 8 / UK 6,5 - 7), but in skates i often wear a US 9 - 10 / UK 8 - 9, especially in my Razors Genesys 7 with standard Razors Liner. My foot is measured 25,5 cm long. Wich size should i take for the Aeon 60? Should i ordered the size US 7,5 - 8 or US 9 - 10 ? what do you think? greets from germany. keep it up man *thumbs up*

[@swissblader8037]

What a cool spot dude.... Very nice and stylish tricks!

[@acostablades8138]

Thanks a lot!

[@LegoMotionandMore]

I have a pair of USD realm skates and thinking about buying Aeons. This helps a lot, thanks for sharing!

[@intracosm]

You won't even believe the realms are from the same brand once you try aeons

[@LegoMotionandMore]

@@intracosm thanks! I wanted to wait until my Realm skates are broken, but now I want to run to the store and buy a pair. One more question. Is there a significant difference between the basics and the others (like the Nick Lomax Aeons)

[@nathanmitchell9243]

Lego Motion and More dude I’m in the same boat and I was getting carbons till the store couldn’t get them in and I went with these and I’m gonna say best thing ya will ever feel

[@LegoMotionandMore]

@@nathanmitchell9243 thank you! What Aeons did you get?

[@intracosm]

Lego Motion and More Lomax aeons are still basic aeons but brown with an upgraded liner

[@squidwardtortillini8816]

AWESOME video! My next pair of skates will be the Aeons; I have zero doubt about that! Can you explain to me how you fit a size 8 liner in a size 7 shell? Wouldn’t the liner be bigger than the shell?? If I’m a 10.5 with a more narrow foot, would you recommend a 10.5 liner with a 9-10 shell?

[@Danielson1818]

People do it all the time, and just call it downsizing. I don't do it because I have wide feet, but I'll explain the best I can. Many people like the tightest fit possible for more control. So they buy a shell one size down, but keep the liner in their normal size. It really works fine without bunching up the liner, but only if you keep it to within 1 size difference. Anything more than 1 size wouldn't work.... So, your 10.5 liner would probably work in a 9-10 shell, but it does depend on the specific boot. Just don't grind or scuff the new skate until you know it's the right fit, because I've lost $300 from doing that.

[@mikelecss]

Thanks for this great review! And you have such a great style!

[@redeckikamilyahoo2]

Thanks for such a great review. You answered many of my questions. I currently ride roces M12 and I get pains too. Question: Did you find it hard and how long it took you to adjust to making grinds on a flat frame ?

[@acostablades8138]

It wasn't too bad, a few wheel bite falls but mostly fun times and less work with skating transition and getting air.

[@SerialWheeler]

Really great video and flow! Really thinking of getting either to AEON 60 or the 80s... I've always been an urban skater, mixing downhills and zig-zagging through traffic, but for someone that would like to get into grinding, do you think the bigger 80 AEONs would restrict the learning curve or not? The 60s definitely are for the grinder purist, which I'm far from being. Thank you for your answer!

[@acostablades8138]

Thank you! I'd say get those 80s they're so fun!!! One can totally rock Makio grinds as a start. I've seen people do awesome things in those skates🤙

[@rideblades007]

Dang. That looks like such a fun place to skate.

[@247LilJoker]

Solid :D and a nice little revue.

[@glwiz9428]

Thanks for this review and basically all your videos. Helped me get into aggressive skating - and I will never stop. Short story: I got the Aeon 60's. Had some problems. The store gave me a pair of USD VII Pro Roman Abrate edition which feel amazing on the foot. But they weigh so much! 400g difference per skate! Will this hold me back you think? Long story: I agree mostly with the benefits of the USD Aeon 60's... but... I had a lot of trouble with the "comfort". They sit tight as hell. The length was fine, and also the width. The issue was the tightness from top. Got better with time, but I still loose feeling in basically half my foot. Another Issue I had with these were that I got axial play on the bearings or wheels. Dont know exactly yet. I think it is the frame that was not "spacered" enough with the metal insertions used. I contacted Skatepro which sent me a new set of bearings. Same issue. They sent me the 20 year edition USD 61mm wheels - same issue again. Finally they asked me to send them back and gave me a deal on the slightly older USD VII Abrate Pro skates. These look amazing. The MyFit lines is amazing. And general feeling is really good (haven't skated them yet though). The bad thing that makes me almost want to send these back as well is the weight. They weigh almost 400g more per skate compared to the Aeon 60's. So to my question - do you think the weight will matter in the longrun? Will I be holding myself back? Should I just let these USD VII's go despite the deal I got or do you think the benefits of these overweight those of the Aeons?

[@chilli-iceolive-abode2447]

How did you get on? In my experience I find I don't really notice the weight difference in skates when actually skating them and some of my setups are alot heavier than others.

[@glwiz9428]

@@chilli-iceolive-abode2447 hey! They gave me a good deal keeping both skates so I did. Took the liners out from the VII and put it in the Aeons. Amazing combo. Couldn't stand the weight difference from Aeon to the VII Roman Abrate. Aiming to do a lot of leg exercises until the new season starts... Let's see :)

Literally just ordering from Loco also haha! Just got back into skating after my daughter wanted to learn! :)

[@AceEquality]

Crazy... I just got the 72's size 7-7.5 and they're too tight. Which, has a size 7 shell with a 7-7.5 liner. My father and I had the same thought as you, maybe a one size up liner will do the job. My foot size is exactly 25cm, as well. I may have to pull the trigger and size up on the liner.

[@frankyaction]

I've never skated in carbon or soft shell skates and they look really nice but I think you changed my mind. I need something comfortable but still light weight. How would you compare them in weight ?

[@niklas_trixx]

You know the Freestyle Generator app? it creates any random tricks you can save in your tricklist and if you done them you can move them in your finished trick list. It also has a multiplayer system based on B.L.A.D.E from 3 up to 6 Letters and u can play it with 2-8 players, i would love to see a video on it i think not many people know it and its awesome for people hanging out alone at the skatepark dont know what grinds to do like me sometimes

[@acostablades8138]

Sounds very useful, gonna look it up. Thank you🤙

[@northrnblcklights]

Bro...you are so smooth. How long did you not skate for? Your style is so clean. What does your stretching routine look like before and after skating. Cheers

[@northrnblcklights]

sorry last questions...what liner are you using with these skates?

[@docsinclair4097]

I'm also a 25 Mondo, but with the Aeons I get the "narrow toe box issue". Don't get me wrong, but do You have a flat forefoot or did you tweak them in any way?

If your feet are hurting, get some Dr Scholl’s inserts. Works every time. 👌🏽

[@acostablades8138]

Tried that, still was hurting. I think it's more of a mold issue than padding

[@discopunkgr]

Nice clips! Do you think the AEONs can fit 62mm wheels too?

[@mosalsa807]

I bought some USD Aeon 72 mm skates and the cuff screws on the inside really dig into my inner ankles for both feet. I made them as tight as I could, so the curved metal cuff part where the screw goes in, doesn't stick out as much but it didn't really help. I keep getting a metal rectangle mark on my inner ankles after skating them which is sad bc I really like these skates. Any advice how to fix this?

[@acostablades8138]

Thats a Bummer, Are you skating on heel pads? sometimes if you add or remove these. It changes where the ankle placement is... But it also changes the balance point in how you ride. Try maybe contacting Powerslide and see what they say? They may send you out some different receivers for the cuff bolts. I've noticed they've changed the design of those over the years. Always could try double socks too. That sometimes works as well. Best of Luck!
