I know the new recent models have improved these issues. I have a pair of Aeon 80's I bought last year and have now just ordered the New Lomax hunter green Aeon 60. I'm hoping the lower center of gravity will make it easier for me to start grinding and sliding..
Hello, I’m torn between the 60s and 80s and would love your opinion. I want some inlines for mostly trails and cruising, so I want speed. I also wanna be able to jump around at the skate park, and learn the super basic grinds. I know the 80s aren’t great for grinds, but is the speed sacrifice worth it? Again I just wanna learn the most basic grinds, but mostly be able to go fast and cruise. Would love any advice you have!
@@cameronfield I love them both. I don’t have any of the issues this guy doing the skate review has. I think it is a wonderful skate. You can’t go wrong with either one. But it sounds like you’re tipping the scale towards the speed side, so I’d go with the 80’s. They are the most comfortable skates too. You’ll love them. Mind you, I just got the new Aeon 60 Lomax hunter green model and the are no slouch when it comes to speed. I really think it doesn’t come down to speed but maybe the bigger wheels (80) will roll better on not so smooth pavement. With the new Lomax 60 I like the second skin liner better than the liner with the 80’s. I have a bunch of new skates maybe 7 pairs and if I had to keep only one pair it would be the 60’s. Love how low to the ground they are too. I’m just getting into aggressive skating and love the idea of grinding at the skate park. Just learning though. So all my other high end carbon skates for urban skating are sitting gathering dust right now. Another thing I did with the 80’s is I put 76/80/80/76 wheels sizes to give me a banana rocker and that is so much fun. They turn so fast it’s crazy. My favorite setup is a slight rocker. But I’ll leave the 60’s flat. Having so much fun with them at the park. I’m in Taiwan by the way so the weather is quite nice year round. Where are you ?
@@kchappelle thank you so much for the info my friend! I think you have sold me on the 80s. I value being able to cruise the city and roll over big stuff more than grinding for sure. I just want to be sure I can basically do basic grinds with these. But more so I want to just cruise the city and trails and be able to jump stuff and roll over cracks and all that. How bad are the 60s when it comes to rolling over stuff? Right now I have 78mm quads that I cruise the city with and I love it. Quads don’t roll over stuff near as easily as inlines though, from what I’ve heard. A rock can ruin my day in quads in lol. When I was younger I had inlines and I truly loved it, I’m dying to get back into inline skating. The banana rocker sounds very interesting! So big wheels in front snd back? That sounds wild. Maybe silly question, but could you do 80/60/60/80 to give it less wheel bite? I’m in Texas! Love outdoor skating here but it’s hot haha. Thanks again so much my friend!
@@cameronfield hey man. I think the 76/80/80/76 would be best. It would give you a rocker similar to a hockey ice skate. Very fast effortless turning. Having bigger wheels in the front and back would give you an anti-rocker and would make you feel like you’re on rails. Kinda like a flat setup but even harder to turn. Anti rocker the middle wheels don’t make any contact but aggressive guys like them because the smaller wheels in the center give them more space for grinding and less wheel bite if they catch a wheel on a rail. The Aeon 80 skates will be good for grinding too. Just the grove is just a little smaller because of the big wheels. I think once you get the hang of it they will be just as good as the 60’s. Maybe just take a bit more practice to get it down. I plan on learning grinds on the 60’s then moving onto the 80’s later. For rockering the skates you’ll want to keep the sizes close in size. Like a 76 front and back and 80 in the middle. 60 and 80 is too much in size difference. Get the 80’s and try them out. All you need is 4 x 78 mm extra and change up the front and back wheels. You’ll love how fast turning and agile the are.
@@mauriceblader8387 really ? Can you help by explaining that a bit more ? I just find that after 30 or 40 minutes- not even with tricks just riding around. What seems the ball of my feet up to the toes are tingling numb
@@hvdb4492 Pins and needles would be from lack of blood flow. Maybe you have your skates too tight. Just loosen up on the laces. I know you'll have less support but the comfort will be worth it. You'll get used to it too. Or maybe your skates are too small for you. Maybe take the foot liner out of find a thinner one. That will make a huge difference. It'll give you a lot more room. Hope this helps.
In my personal opinion, starting with a flat setup can cause for some frustration at first. For grove tricks like front- and backsides it’s possible that you will have a hard time avoiding wheelbite. That’s why I would recommend 60mm skates since they still give you the opportunity to use grindrocks, in case you do not get along with the flat setup. With 72mm you lose that option since the frame is higher in order to fit the bigger wheels, which makes grindrocks completely disappear in the frame.
@@mauriceblader8387 I have the 60's and I did make a slight rocker to them and I love it. They come with 61mm, so I just put 60mm front and back and left the 61 in the center. Works like a charm. It's a very small rocker, but makes skating with them a charm. Effortless turning.

@@kchappelle thank you again so much! I’m gonna get the 80s for sure. You helped me decide, I truly appreciate it!
You’ve got the drip bro, keep up the hard work 👊
Haha thx I will!
Excellent video homie
Thx appreciate that! 🙌🏼
I’ve had my aeons for almost a year. And I’m still getting pins and needles in my feet. Both of them. At the toes why is this ?
Hmm that depends on what of your toes this is happening to. I do think it may be fixable with a dremel (rotary tool, used for precision grinding).

@@kchappelle thank you so much. I’ve order reign liners so fingers crossed otherwise I’ll just suffer as I really want to learn
Want them in grey or white . Cant find them in my size
I’m getting back to blading and I wanna try aeon 72 but coming back to being a beginner again are they good or get the 60m?

Do more videos!!!!!
Yes, I would love to. Unfortunately I am working day and night at the moment so I can’t really find the time.
I had to sell mine because the toe area was not deep enough and they crushed my feet. A shame because otherwise they are great skates.
Stuart Kelly yeah that’s not the first time that I hear that. A friend of mine used dremel to make some space for his toes.
@@mauriceblader8387 what is dremel ? My toes are screaming
@@hvdb4492 buy the right size to start with
@@kchappelle you think ?
@@hvdb4492 Seems like the logical thing to do. Did the skates shrink on the way home after trying them on at the shop?
Are they true to size or they a toe crushers
Pretty much, but bear in mind that they are a bit on the wider side of skates.
Good review but I had to switch it off after less than 7 minutes. That bloody jazz just gets on nerves 😡😡😡
No more music please.
My ADHD is having a hard time concentrating! 😬😰
