I love Robbie, he is definitely an icon of skating in all sense of the word. A very good ambassador with a very bold style that stands out. Him going over the various design decision/inspiration was very interesting.
I love how friendly & humble Robbie Pitt’s is. His character reminds of Rodney Mullen. I’ve been a fan of blading & skateboarding since I was about 10, I’m 43 now & I’ve never understood the hate between them. When I heard Them had teamed up with Weekend skateboards that really put a smile on my face!
Robbie is the epitome of what I love about blading. He is so in touch with himself and embraces it unabashedly. Super excited to see another translucent shell like the Beer 909. Keep doing what you're doing Robbie! 🧡
These are one of the coolest looking skates I've seen in a long time and I can't wait to get them! Robbie definitely opens your eyes to new ways of using features and what's possible to make look stylish. Peak role model right there dude, hands down.
I remember commenting on a post of his and him just genuinely starting a conversation with just about everyone. Every time I see him on my feed it brings such a smile on my face. Love what's he's doing for the blading community and just having a bright colorful person in this dull world is really refreshing.
I am so glad Robbie is out there doing his thing! I don't think I could pull off his style, but I am glad it is out there for people who want too. I also feel like his skating is so original! Really technical, powerful and creative. Congratulations Robbie!!
I love how the skates look, I wish Oysi made a special 72mm flat frame collab just for this boot! haha. I'm glad companies are open to other colors and takes on skates. Robbie is a gem of a human and I'm grateful we have him in our industry.
Bring back bright neon/luminous colours I'd love a pair of skates that were like loads of different luminous colours, like blue/green/yellow/orange/purple/pink etc all on one skate, this guy has a creative soul I love it he's great
Robbie is a true trailblazer! Love the guy love the skate! I'd also love Mathias to release the kids glitch skate theme for adults... Anyway, Awesome interview!
Like most kids in the 80’s-90’s, my first rollerblade was like black and purple and broke down after a couple weeks. My buddy had his old ice skate boot replace the chassis and used that for roller hockey. The old black and white Bauer’s with the weaved black fabric over the hard toe box. He wore them until that weave started to wear through and show the white toecap underneath and his parents bought him a new set. He gave me those and I used the crap out of them. I would take a lights and singe the fraying cap and sharpie over the white to try and hide it. Until I got into skating and grinding. That’s when I would carry another set of wheels in my bag. If I was playing hockey I had big wheels that gave me a razors edge like feel when turning and then the smaller more wider feeling wheels for skating a spot or at a skatepark. I also didn’t bother tightening the top section of the boot. I never really had a nice skate or even friends to tell me it was wrong to not have that movement in my ankle. I out grew the skate and the chassis was so thrashed that the wheels started to break the spot the bolts held them to. I tried finding another pair at a used sporting goods store but never found them in my size. I bought a nice pair of mid range aggressive skates but could never feel comfortable in them like those. The tightness around my ankle never felt right and I couldn’t get in those comfortable positions I had in some of the stuff I used to do. Even landing on big gaps felt off to me. If I was younger and saw these bright things in the store now I’d probably go for them but only because my tastes in color has changed. I guess it was all the bike shorts and rad dog colorful clothing stuff of the 80’s coming back to me, lol. Have you guys ever skated with a skate without the removable booty and none of the tall ankle support? Those old skates had a big tongue and a high back but I never laced them up that area so it was like a mid rise shoe, maybe… I still can’t get used to wearing high tops these days. I had great ankle flexibility until I broke my ankle(well, someone else broke it by spinning my toes outward and 270° playing basketball). Now it hurts to take a step up or walk up a hill without turning that foot sideways.
Im a white boy straight from the hood in a dangerous city a war zone in the US... and i just love this guy's vibe and energy. Its nice to see something free and peaceful..
Enyone throws hate this man's way is just jealous they can't be themselves like he can. Robbie pitts is a stylish funky dude and his pro skate is long over due ❤❤❤
Hilarious how people need convincing he’s sound. Saw him online, thought, what a legend. Met him in person at a later point, guess what? He was a legend lol. Hardly a suprise 😂
It always baffles me how rollerbladers, who are themselves black sheep in a way, can be so judgmental. Like Robbie says, taste is subjective but that doesn't mean you can't respect someone's style and skating. All that said, glad to see him getting a pro skate! The Advance 72 is a fun frame and I can see this being a great option for people who like to mix big wheels and aggressive.
@@CurzOnline Yeah the downfall was everybody calling you names and being too young to ignore it. I just was lucky enough to be around a group that never cared about what other peoples had to say so we never quit
I can echo what Robbie said on the size. I'm also true eu43 and the 43/44 shell fits me better than the current Sway, The new one might be roomier in the toebox, but too narrow in the middle and the heel. Regarding the setup, It is the Revival of the USD Sway PB II, Robbie Pits edition. I loved that baby blue skate.
Bright skates are kinda cool , Personally i would love to see frames with built in RGB underglow lighting and or boots with luminous materal that shows up under uv light at night and maby built in UV leds that make the whole thing glow .
Skate wise: I love color in a sea of black. Shoe wise: I love color in a sea of white. These would look sweet with a bunch of black arrows pointing backwards as patches.
I would love some of these and will probably get them, even if I get mocked for them. I've recently started 50% of my time on aggressive inlines. I already get casual abuse from (generally male only) passers by for using quads with a heel. How absolutely dare I. Apparently this triggers the manosphere mindset. Very fragile, those chaps, as it turns out. Perhaps certain shapes, forms and light wavelengths (especially pinks) hitting their visual cortex via the optic nerve really cause some sort of temporary neural dysfunction. Especially in light of recent developments across the pond, we should research this phenomenon.
This skate doesn't fit my normal aesthetic of plain old 41 year old Dad but I want them bad!! I also just want to rock The Robbie steez. My personal favourite skater..
I love Robbie and his skating (big congrats on the skates!), but it’s too bad he’s controversial. My favorite skateboarders and bikers (when I paid attention) were always the weirdos. Blading needs more oddity!
I must admit i saw his style of clothing and thought.. yeaa😅 but his videos sucked me in quickly. Damn good skater with a stupid good style and man he is very creative. Just something else. Briliant❤
Question number one - how does this look so recent when roller blades haven’t been a think since 1993. Question number 2 - why is he dressed like he’s in a disco cover band. Question 3 - why
Robbie’s dope but I don’t get all the hype around him honestly. Idt I’ve ever seen him do any big tricks or hammers. The “Pros” these days are so far removed from the pros we used to have 10 or 15 years ago, make blading great again 😂

When is the edit dropping!!!!!! We want the edit. I know it's gonna be some futuristic wild technicolour dreamscape! I'm pumped.
Big fan of his skating and style
Congrats on the skate!

Robbie Pitts is one of a kind and so deserving of a pro skate. Great interview, too. 👌🏽

"Certified nicest guy of Rollerblading" yes!
He might be the tallest as well? I'm 6'1 and he was like a whole head taller, and I remember his hand dwarfed mine in a handshake as well
Only had a few short interactions with Robbie online, but can confirm the dude is a absolute sweetheart.
Legend! Congrats on the skate Robbie!
the nicest guy in rollerblading has done it again!
Congrats Robbie for the pro skate!!! 🙌
I am so glad Robbie is out there doing his thing! I don't think I could pull off his style, but I am glad it is out there for people who want too. I also feel like his skating is so original! Really technical, powerful and creative. Congratulations Robbie!!
Seems like such a cool guy, congratulations on the pro skate dude!!!
Congratulations to Robbie on his new signature skates. 🤙🍺🍺 I have the playlife Reactors and they are very comfortable and durable.
Love your content my man!
You can tell that a lot of thought went into making this skate. Really cool!
Robbie seems like a genuinely lovely bloke

This absolutely rules. Robbie rules

no one hates rollerblading more than rollerbladers
@bladeshred01 I absolutely agree. I also think it's one of the biggest downfalls of the sports in the early 2000s
Some older heads have not moved on from the late 2000s masculinity crisis they believe they endured.
@@CurzOnline Yeah the downfall was everybody calling you names and being too young to ignore it. I just was lucky enough to be around a group that never cared about what other peoples had to say so we never quit
@bladeshred01 I'm happy for u dude. I've just got back after 20 years off👌🏽🙌
Absolute Legend
Need to see these with the clear souls witezman has been on
Yes pittsy!! Legend ❤

Regarding the setup, It is the Revival of the USD Sway PB II, Robbie Pits edition. I loved that baby blue skate.
I started whooping with delight when Robbie busted out the patches!
Hands down the nicest guy in skating. Buying his skates and probably putting the danny beer liners in and oysi frames!
I see kamikaze on feet I tune in to the same beat! Robbie is legend!
Bright skates are kinda cool , Personally i would love to see frames with built in RGB underglow lighting and or boots with luminous materal that shows up under uv light at night and maby built in UV leds that make the whole thing glow .
Looks great I'd love to skate 72 mm wheels.
Currently on revolver 64 mm
I have the old retro Eisler 72 Aeons and I'm thinking those liners would be a perfect fit in them. 🤔
If these were out before I got some rec 110's, I would have definitely picked these up. 🍉
Be undeniable.
Rollerblading doesn’t deserve Robbie Pitts.
would dye them liners cuz those are really good primes. they fixed the tongue
Skate wise: I love color in a sea of black. Shoe wise: I love color in a sea of white. These would look sweet with a bunch of black arrows pointing backwards as patches.
18:22 - The first time I looked at the liner I thought the thong had pump air like basketball tennis.
A tongue that had a Reebok style pump would be so perfect
Amazing person and dang them skates are smoking!
I would love some of these and will probably get them, even if I get mocked for them. I've recently started 50% of my time on aggressive inlines.

Really? That's very surprising. I've found no bother at all between the quad and blading community.
@chalkknees1754 Not between us, just from non skaters who like to poke fun at any sport that isn't football (or something with a ball involved).
Epic.
first things first gotta switch them souls out grey or black would work
Who’s this skate for?…… “Yes!” 😂
I don’t specially enjoy Robby’s skating, not even talking about the way he dresses BUT … the skates look amazing. I could ride that.
🤘🏼🦋🤘🏼
This skate doesn't fit my normal aesthetic of plain old 41 year old Dad but I want them bad!! I also just want to rock The Robbie steez. My personal favourite skater..
Loved this conversation. Not sure I enjoyed being second named like a naughty child though, Eley!
I love Robbie and his skating (big congrats on the skates!), but it’s too bad he’s controversial. My favorite skateboarders and bikers (when I paid attention) were always the weirdos. Blading needs more oddity!
Ive been waiting for this skate… the price is a bit of a killer given what “Playlife” as a brand was intended for
Release date? I got money burning a hole in my pocket lol

I must admit i saw his style of clothing and thought.. yeaa😅 but his videos sucked me in quickly. Damn good skater with a stupid good style and man he is very creative. Just something else. Briliant❤
Question number one - how does this look so recent when roller blades haven’t been a think since 1993.
Question number 2 - why is he dressed like he’s in a disco cover band.
Question 3 - why
Question 4: Why is your algorithm serving you up Rollerblading content?
Because he’s Robbie fukin Pitts
robbie used to scare me but he's not scary at all
Literally fruit boots. Cool boot, but Black liner and black sole would sell better.
You sayin they look kinda gay 😂 hahaha
Robbie’s dope but I don’t get all the hype around him honestly. Idt I’ve ever seen him do any big tricks or hammers. The “Pros” these days are so far removed from the pros we used to have 10 or 15 years ago, make blading great again 😂
