I don't know how you have been riding anti over 24 years as 98 percent of boots being sold in 2000 were sold flat. My Salomons were and so were my rollerblade trs
@@kevincollins8620 I may be remembering wrong but I distinctly remember riding anti my senior year in 94. I think I had the butter antis first then the Roadhouse wheels. Then again, it was a long time ago and I could be a couple years off.
@@boocha9959 you could BUY anti rocker... for sure. But skates came stock flat back then was what I was saying to clear that up. I had them yellow butter anti I copped out of a Champs back in 97
@@BrandonDrummond Convention at the end of October was sold out before I could decide if I wanted to go, so that's not happening. If anything, find a way to come to Blade Jam! But I want to come and skate the vert again some time, it's been too long!
I didn't then but I like how they look with the soulframe and other updates. Razors never really refined the impact like they did the flat/cult. These are like a hidden gem from the 90s and have that nostalgia appeal, for me at least.
@@stuco spot on in your assessment as I feel the same way. I didn't care for how the SL felt on foot but if these are similar to m12 and cult... I'd probably love em. Considering I just purchased and reviewed cult level 1 last week... I'm set on new boots
Not really accurate about the Aeon frame comparison. The Aeon actually takes advantage of not needing UFS frame bolts where this skate uses the exact same split/frame as the TNEC UFS frame and just combined it with the soul. This is also why the wheels are not set into the soul like they are on the Aeon making them the same height as a UFS skate. They really missed an opportunity but saved on not redesigning the frame I guess.
@@stuco Well either they used the same frame or modified it and still didn't take advantage of any benefits you get from a soul frame. Even if they wanted the same split as their UFS frame(some people like tighter grooves) they could have moved the inner wheels out and added a ton of wheel bite protection. It also doesn't appear that they sunk the wheels into the soul at all to lower the height.
Always nice to see your video's! I was wondering how do you like frontside unity's on these skates? Maybe I have to wear in more of a groove but I slipped out a couple times and I am not comfortable doing them with the TNEC's and it is my to go trick.... I also thought they are pretty clicky, like the wheels are loose or the bearings wiggle to much
Cheers for the support. Honestly I have noticed the same thing about Unitys. Every one I have done has been super sketchy feeling. I figured I was just out of practice 😅. I just put some revolver wheels in and they're clacky too. Usually that's caused by either the bearing spacer being too short or the cores of the wheels being stretched. The stock wheels didn't clack for me but I would bet that if they are clacking it's because the cores stretched. See if you can move the river off the core of the wheels, if it moves then the only fix is to get new wheels.
@@BrandonDrummond thanx for your reply and I have been fooling around with bearings and spacers and it helped. Although with this skate it was an obvious difference with other skates. Enjoy the states!!! It’s a beautiful place. What skates did you bring?
Drilling out rivets and replacing them with bolts is so simple that I'd be ok with most companies switching to rivets for buckles and cuffs, so long as they all standardize on sizes so we don't need so many different size replacements.
What would you recommend to someone with flat and wide feet? I'm someone who has skated their entire life but never got into aggressive. I've looked online everywhere for this answer but can't seem to find any. I'm a size 13 shoe and it seems like all the euro skates run smaller.
I'm off to the US for the next few weeks so videos will slow for a bit.
Thanks as always for the support 🙏
I rode anti-rocker for 30 years. This was the skate that made me fall in love with flat. They are incredible. Hope all is well man! Ricky from Maine

@@boocha9959 and the anti was urethane and not plastic like the stuff I LOVE that comes stock on Ground Control.
@@kevincollins8620 I still miss old GC frames. They were my all time favorites.
In the 90s we grinded on rivets, I never had one break.
Yes we did.
You're moving hardcore.....
It's crazy how my friend in Utah made those skates and now there are people in New Zealand using them
Dead shock absorbers or some drugstore gel heel pads might work to solve your shock absorber issue, without raising your heel too much. Great review.
You did it! You finished and posted it! :) Have a good trip bro!
Cheers man. Hope we get to roll again soon

Never liked this shell from the old razors impact days but it’s good to see it back and new company’s breaking through.
I didn't but only because razors marketed it back then as budget. It looks fine next to a cult

Ah, those ledges at the arena do indeed look nice! Good clips!
oosh! rad to see you back skating! how's the spot on the water front?
Those 2 ledges are so fun. My new go to. Way better than the park

Are you sure? I thought Duran said it was similar but not the same as the UFS frame in dimensions.

@@davidb4979 Ah I see.
They will be releasing replacement soul frames hopefully by end of year/beginning of next year
I still think it's a bit of a missed oppertunity for TNEC to put their brand on that open 'spot'
