Bro, you’re my hero. Professional pilot, new father and a blader with skills.....what other cool stuff you got hidden in your sleeves? I’m a a COP with commercial rotorcraft rating, a father too, moderate blades skills, but god I love it (blading). ......mad respect English, love the videos, keep up the good work bro
Thanks man! Rotorcraft scare the crap out of me. More power to ya. I’m just grateful I have a career where I didn’t have to give up blading. Just have to play it a bit safer.
Congratulation bro. TH-cam just suggested your vid to me. It means ur channel is doing well. Immediately subscribed . Watching here from the Philippines.
I’ve always wondered what career you had that allowed so much travel and “downtime” makes total sense now. I do commercial refrigeration and I’m lucky I can get out and skate but it must be sweet to try different parks on the frequent
Great videos my man. I really enjoy your taste in music as well, it's nice to have really chill music because it's fun to watch skate stuff in the morning to wake up a bit and have more options than just hip hop (which I also like, but see a lot)
Awesome video as always! Glad the recommendation from Thirty and Rollin is helping this channel to grow! Us Inline-Skaters need to stick together and support each other! About measuring your foot - Some brands put centimeter length in the liner which are not always true - f.ex. my Aeons (three different pairs with different liners are supposely 1.) 26,1-26,8 cm 2). 27,2 cm & 3.) 26,5-27,1 cm and my Sways are labelled as 26,1-26,8 cm, but they are waaaayyyy bigger then any of the aeons! And the 2. Aeon whose liner length is labelled as the longest, has the shortest liner of the bunch! You can even see the difference in length when holding them up next to each other! So be a bit careful trusting the measurements that the companies put in the liners!
To the liners part of your review. I personally feel the the majority of time a stock liner doesnt shine in it's own skate. But for whatever reason that stock liner may feel great in s different boot. In general though I'm the same. I've had the same pair of myfits in a few pairs of skates now.
Been skating 50/50's wheels on my aeons, and I have no complaints. But I honestly had no complaints about the stock USD Team wheels. Very good budget wheels, but they always seem to be hard to find. I skate in outdoor concrete parks, so having an 88a wheel is nice for sticking to the bowls. Plus, Lawrence seems like a dude you just wanna support, like with so many skater-owned companies. Just figured out an acid cess slide. Acid stalls on ledges feel more natural than souls for me. This old dude is figuring out aggressive, eventually.
Just found your channel... Awesome stuff, Coincidentally I also fly for a living and with all the COVID down time in the airline industry I just got my first pair of skates in 20 years yesterday (34y/o) Hope whichever airline you’re flying with is in good shape!
Thanks man. Welcome back to blading. My company is okay. Things definitely slowed down there for a bit, but it looks like we’re on the way back. Hope y’all are doing well also.
@@coreyenglish8706 thanks man. much appreciated. Yeah we're hanging on, running at about 10%-15% capacity on average since April 2019. Hoping for a big summer with vacations and vaccines! 💪
When I get a job, hoefully I'll get hired at my interview this Thursday, I have my eye on these used vintage skates on Ebay, 70usd. The wheels need replacing, and I'm sure the bearings. That's the first I'm gonna upgrade. If I can remove the liner, I'm going to replace those next. If I can't, I'll just go with it. The straps are also broken off both skates, so gonna replace those, too.
Great advice! You should hit up Lexington outdoor skatepark in NC. It’s only 30-45 minutes north of Charlotte. We’ll be headed there soon too. I live 1.5 hrs from Charlotte in Winston-Salem. Been meaning to check out oSo.
@@coreyenglish8706 there’s Latham outdoor park, kinda small but fun. Crawling with borders if you don’t get their early. Then there is Above Board indoor park. Haven’t been there yet, but planning a trip too. Hit me up on IG if you wanna get up later. We could definitely learn a few things from you. -Will
I agree if possible always switch your wheels out on your stock completes and just keep them as emergency backup wheels. I skate anti rocker in the street environment so I found using dead wheels 92a works best :D
I've actually been skating on stock Sway 57s since October and they've held up quite nice. Though I've only used them for park skating. Prior to that its been a good 20 years for me since I last skated, but I'm back at age 37. I try to take it easy but we all know the desire for crazy shit comes naturally. Funny enough I've been wanting some new wheels cuz yeah stock wheels are like ehh. I remember getting a pair of Derks back in the day and those wheels didn't last a month. I'm a flat-rocker boy myself. Anyways, nice video dude. I subscribed. Cheers!
Yo my guy, started as a blader then ended up skateboarding for 9 ish years, just recently picked up blading again and i wish i did it years and years ago, this channel is a wealth of knowledge, i picked up a set of USD sway 60's since they were reasonable price and been skating them for a couple of weeks now had a few falls and tumbles but nothing serious. I do however have a few questions as skateboard customisation in terms of trucks being tight or lose is pretty much all you can do, but i feel like blades have way more intricate parts in terms of finding your perfect "build" so too speak. A video on how to look at that or how too approach this would be pretty gnarly and greatly appreciated. Thanks for all the advice so far and ill be checking out all your other videos stay safe mate thanks for your advice its greatly appreciated Respect and love from scotland
I really like your channel, I destroyed my wrist in high school doing a topsoul 360 out on at 6ft qp at an old indoor park in Jersey and haven't skated much until recently, now as a dad in my 30's getting back into it it's great to see people like you throwing out tips and showing good style. keep it up. I love it.
How should the skates fit? Should I have a little wiggle room in the toebox or should my toes be right at the end? I’m used to ski boots and climbing shoes so normally I like a tight fit, but I’m concerned if my toes are at the end of my skates I’ll get toebang. Let me know what you think! Thank you!
I personally prefer a snug fit. Not quite climbing shoe fit, but I want my skates to fit like a running shoe. Some people prefer a looser fit to help with bending into grinds, but I find the skates perform better when they fit snug.
Great skating and good advice on having quality wheels. If relatively new, how do I assess if my wheels should be upgraded? I riding on stock Aeon basic wheels, but willing to upgrade?
I actually think the stock aeon wheels are some of the best stock wheels around. I haven’t tried the new ones with the large plastic cores, but those should be good too if you only skate park. If they’re the older, square profile ones and you’re not having issues with the profile, save some money and skate them. They’re a solid wheel.
the most important tip i got was... take the fat tongue of an Osiris type shoe or make your own. place the phat tongue between your foot and inside the inlines tongue. lossen laces till its a snug fit. the top buckle for the cuff get 1-2 clicks max. enjoy top soles.
@@coreyenglish8706 we need to teach the new blood how its done. when i was a kid we had the luxury of skating with franky back in miami. we all used that same setup. funny if you see his videos now i think hes riding straight lose skates no extra tongue/padding.
It’s not for everyone. I never rode mine like that and never will. I prefer my skates to fit like a running shoe instead of a skateboarding shoe. To each there own. Whatever enhances your own skating experience.
@@coreyenglish8706 to each is own i get that. it took a friend to convince me for days till i tried it. some of the best advice he gave me. ive also known since i was a kid that i had stronger ankles than normal. like you said not for everyone.
I had to pause 2 minutes in just to say, I appreciate how you reviewed the skate. I just got a pair of Sway IVs and I'm in the same boat of being a size 12 jamming into an 11-12 skate with a thicker liner. It's not comfortable. I can only get out on them for about 30 minutes before it's just too much discomfort. Quite honestly, you wouldn't be able to even give a fair review of everything else while dealing with that. Plus, if you're coughing up $200 for a liner absolutely put it in your setup (that's why you paid for it).
Well, you were talking about feedback, both positive and negative, and one thing I’d say is I always turn the volume down when the music plays and then turn it up twice as loud when your talking..... Sweet full cab miszou also.
@@coreyenglish8706 lol. I feel I may have been a little misunderstood. I don't turn it down because the music sucks but because of how loud it plays compared to a part of just talking.
@@MrNicknayme unfortunately I’m limited to doing everything on my phone right now. Hoping I’ll be able to pick up a decent computer soon and improve things on the editing side.

You guys should pick up a Kendama and try it out. I’m an old blader that has found great love in this Wooden ball and cup toy!
Thanks for supporting agressive inline skate we need more people like you
You deserved those subs! Great work on the fakie tricks as well!
Love the community thinking in the blading scene!
this video is very emotional because of how beautiful that skatepark is

This is the same music one my YT meme show uses. Love it! It’s because of that, is why I’m drawn to your channel now.
Loved the focus on opening both shoulders/spins up to each trick. Right shoulder is Greek to me and this is inspiring.
The most important thing is to stay true. Respect for staying true and not compromising just for hits. 👊
Well done man, here from recommendation of Thirty and Rollin. Keep up the hard work!
Really solid skating man. Pleasure to watch, thanks!

i like the work from fakie, looking good corey. 3 soul was laced
Thanks dude. Congrats on the recent success. That intro part went HARD hard.
great video again! really appreciate your views on skating and style of skating! good job and keep on rolling!
