Felt experimental. Might delete later.

Noooo please don’t delete

Question about that sway's forward flex, is it still the same as previous models? Where the "innards" of the boot show up behind the cuff. Is it really a big deal? Just wondering.

[@LocoSkates]

@@anthonykinoc8715 Yes, still got that forward flex. It depends how far you push the limits. For me, I don't think it'd ever cause issue... but maybe for someone who pushes the skate more.

[@Fluflo83]

I like this. Video and skate 😍👍

[@thevanityproject6480]

Loved it, brilliant editing

[@gr1zzed915]

Succesfull experiment I would say. Really enjoyed this format!

[@LocoSkates]

Cheers!

[@cmousdale]

love the format. Perfect mix of geeking out and basic info.

[@DrewsAutoReviews]

Love this format, please don’t delete

[@austinpaz2174]

dam you gotta do a video for each skate that comes out like this, this is money

[@sk8fuze]

Very cool format! Loved the first couple of minutes, really slick. Loved my Montre Sways, super keen to try these now!

[@JSClark1984]

Top video, love the format. Also...need one of those Loco caps!

[@matthewclark3217]

Really like this idea! Like the graphics and the jokes too. Why are reviews so serious all the time! More of these!

[@dalewood2849]

LOVE my Sways!! Loved them even more with MyFit second skins In em. Those shells are legit with those liners !!!

[@ismaelgonzalez5475]

Are your second skin liners the same size as the boot? I want to buy some but afraid they would leave a lot of room in the skate.

[@dirtboi8606]

This video deff helped me make the decision on these, I’m buying them

[@dudeguy4053]

video format was cool

[@wolfculturedec]

Amazing video love the editing

[@GordonGreenCincinnati]

This is the type of content we want to see

[@MicahCarioto]

Great video. I'd love to see a comprehensive video comparing weight of a variety of skates. That's one of the biggest factors for me. Sounds like your next project!

[@Mike-qf6zk]

Great review, sold me on them! I’m confused on my size though, if you guys have any frame of reference. I’ve mainly skated a (US) size 9.5-10 Reign V3 liner in an 8-9 Razors shift boot. I have a wider foot that worked for downsizing but would it be best to move up to the US10-10.5 for the Sagonas? Thanks!

[@birdyrocksblading]

How would you exactly describe the color of the Skate, Maroon?

[@lauracervantes8757]

Can wheels be switched out to be used on one distance trails, streets etc…?

[@nunnthewiser8276]

Would like to see more vids like this, m12s, mesmer thrones, ect ect.

[@k_sae1676]

Do you have issues with the forward flex?

[@kevincollins8620]

He put them skates on soo easily. It takes me some squeezing to get in my cults. Once in them soo comfy

[@andrewwilliams4200]

Really liked this format! Very helpful 👍🏻 Able to share how much this Sway weighs?

[@PaulPirkkala]

Can you recommend the insoles with more cushion ??! Please

[@jamesrogers9751]

Unrelated question, do you sell the black and green Loco hats that you're wearing in the video?

[@rcm616-j5t]

They look so nice

[@jamess3718]

finally a video with quality information.. not some childish bullshit

[@SaschaReichertVideoBlog]

Would like to see you skate the FR UFR with Flat Frame. Really curious what’s your opinion if you skate the skate completely

[@chinobean3555]

wheres the best skate to get some sways? i really want to get back into rollng i quit like 10 years ago when i was diagnosed with leukemia but im just dyin to start skating again!

[@LocoSkates]

[@ismaelgonzalez5475]

Is the liner sized the same as the boot?

[@rcm616-j5t]

Thinking about getting this. Which size would be best for a 260mm foot?

[@Pratalax]

Thought i was watching Francis Cade for a second there!

[@StubbsOTD]

I've got the Farmer Sway 2's with the Crown liner and I tried heat molding twice and still have a really bad pressure point on my inner left ankle. First was 8 mins at 90C, then 8 mins at 93.3C with a smaller ankle sock folded up over the two ankle bones to push the padding out more. Ended up cutting my session short after 2 hours last night. The liners are perfect with this one exception on one foot. Does anyone have any suggestions before I end up taking a heat gun to the shell? :(

[@Sparkmovement]

Well I don't really think it is hard to beat them skates anyways because 1. it's a super old mold based off a skate that everyone hated back in the day. 2. It's crutched up by stuffing a $250 liner into it.

[@LocoSkates]

Overall I'd say the Them mould is a bit more solid. It's all price-relative though.

[@jmadd3691]

Well the 908 is based on a old model… the 909 is completely different, I have both the CommunitE 908s and the D. Beers w/ 3.0 souls and they are hella different from the toe to the lace layout, buckle and heel. Also most skates are ‘based’ on a ‘old’ mold, the Sagonas are literally a remake of the thrones (More Mesmer then old throne imo) from what Richard and Sagona said….

[@Sparkmovement]

@@jmadd3691 the difference being, people actually wanted those skates back & not simply dealing with what they could find.

[@myeline]

@@Sparkmovement You know the 909 is a brand new mold from top to bottom?

[@Sparkmovement]

@@myeline & people still stuff intuition liners in those too.

[@rollforever85]

The Sways are definitely high on my list of skates to try.. the Sagonas look great

[@rollforever85]

And now I’ve tried them I can say that trying to downsize with my fat feet was a bad idea 😅🤦‍♂️

[@Mike-qf6zk]

Have wide feet and was looking to do the same, are these a bit more narrow? I’ve been downsizing a US 9.5-10 Reign V3 liner in a Razors Shift US 8-9 boot and wanting to ride the Sagonas, insight appreciated!

[@crazedmenace5924]

Wassup bro i have a question. I've been wanting to get into inlining again I'm 31 and i haven't skated since the release of the aragon 3 but everything changed a lot since those times but my eye been on the usd sway especially since they look like the thrones. My question is there's the sway 57, 60 and team IV. I don't really know the difference and I don't know which model came out first and what's the latest and I can't find that information anywhere, the youtube timelines are mostly the same when i look up reviews.. my eyes been on the team IV those look so sick. What feed back can you give me

[@LocoSkates]

Sway 57 and 60 are almost identical (just different sized wheels... 57mm and 60mm). The Sway team IV is just an older version of the Sway 57. The best model is the Sagona one in this video because of the better liner and new soulkits. 🙂

[@swissblader8037]

For me clearly better than Them skates. Better soulplate, liner, boot and frame. To be honest it is the first skate, and I tried dozens, where I do not need to change anything. It is just perfect, no matter what you do with them. And how solid they are on any kind of grind or switch-ups is unbelievable. So, thank you USD for this masterpiece and sorry, Jon Julio.

[@bladingisdad]

Shoutout TriTri🙌

[@nothing_happening_here]

It's not exactly wrong to say the Aeons don't come with a raised heel but it's not right either. Anyhow, thanks for all you're doing, it's needed and appreciated.

[@daveshave5247]

I always wanted to try the sway boot and 2nd Skin liners. I think these will be the one, just need the funds. 😢😂

[@adamshares2604]

Does anyone know some very light 3WD skates??

[@Patrick11223]

Yeah they are really a great skate. The new Standard Skate will be nice to compare with these

[@climbtheskyspine5748]

Interesting. I honestly thought the new M12s would have wider soulplates than ....I guess older THEM models. Didn't think they would be the most narrow out of all.

[@hvdb4492]

Are these the same liner that come with aeons

[@LocoSkates]

The 2nd skin comes on some Aeon models yes (but not all). Juts lookout of 'MyFit 2nd skin' in the product description when you are shopping skates.

[@grahamcochrane4423]

Nice work sir, making use of the new space and tech!! I like the attention to detail in the comparison, and making clear that bigger souls aren't better. You have to be neutral when it comes to these matters. Cheers!!!

[@kingrando]

They do look really good.

[@sk8fuze]

Is there a lot of difference between these and the Farmer Sway 2's?

[@LocoSkates]

The farmer has a Myfit Crown liner instead of 2nd Skin. Other than that pretty much the same

[@mr-iz8cx]

What's the difference between the two liners in terms of fit?

[@LocoSkates]

Crowns are fatter (so in theory in that boot should feel a bit tighter)

[@mr-iz8cx]

@@LocoSkates thank you! Have no idea about how liners fit and there's plenty on the market. Looking for more comfort for wide feet

[@LocoSkates]

@@mr-iz8cx 2nd skins will be better than Crowns for wide feet 🙂

[@blanked_out_chin]

LocoSkates with a similar setup as Amall in their prime. RIP Amall, Hopefully no RIP for Loco!

[@setsuhimatori8010]

Do one for the Next Charcoal w/ combat frames! :D

[@wojtekkowalski8983]

Great skate, I love my Sways.

[@KieranAR909]

Great video 🙏🏼

[@EddyReckless]

I love how they look man. I got the 909s in size M and I feel them kinda big for a eu43 foot and size S is too small for me even with intuition liners. I had to buy a fat liner and insole to fill the space of the M 909s but now they become heavy. Guys, with the new sways, Do you think are we able to downsize to the 41-42 shell using that slim liner? I think that sways are light skates so maybe its time for a change and say goodbye to the 909 for the sake of 275mm foot lenght people. Again, I really love how the sways looks with the new white soulplate. Cheers!

[@LocoSkates]

I don’t think you’d be able to downsize into the 41-42 that comfortably if you are a 43. Size is very true on these

[@Franz_giblet]

I’ve got a 275mm foot and the size 43 sways felt really big even with the basic liner which is quite a lot thicker than a 2nd skin.

[@EddyReckless]

@@Franz_giblet same here, size 43-44 are kinda big for me too. Have u tried size 42 shell?

[@Franz_giblet]

@@EddyReckless no, I bought aeons instead and they felt so much nicer

[@krystalannawilliams2653]

This video is good

[@332FG-Pitman]

Managed to downsize from a UK9.5 to a UK8 shell! Fits like a glove

[@tobyschnabelhuber]

Intriguing. Which liner do you use?

[@332FG-Pitman]

@@tobyschnabelhuber the myfit second skins that come with them! I took the shock absorbers out and placed my go to footbed under the liners, eliminates any of my foot movement in the skate to avoid toe bashes

[@ninomurillo249]

Fluid 4 need a hard core break in

[@ricklanzetta7]

Sway's are great but they are not out of the box great imo.. The Pro Models are a step up, coming /w better Liners, The new 2.0 Souls & 45-Straps. However The hardware Sways come /w is Trash.. In my experience /w the Sway Team IVs the Stock Cuff Bolt/Strap Receivers needed to be upgraded immediately

[@DerpyNarwhalz]

I’m a beginner and just ordered the team IV so your comment caught my eye. What should I upgrade to from stock?

[@krystalannawilliams2653]

Can I see my skates more information on my skates

[@caseyddr]

I'll stick to my 60 team XXIs 🥴

[@carlostrahiniii4662]

how do u like them?

[@pinfarmer]

Great video but saying philips head is better than anything just can't be right. :)

[@PatrickSwayzeOnDbol]

7.5? Damn you have smaller feet! Skate shoes I am 10/10.5
