Do you have wide feet? I've bought Razors cult V2 coppers and they are narrow as fuck. Gotta sell em because of that and get new ones. Looking for good suggestions :D
I was a pretty die hard Aeon skater since 2019, i’ve tried literally 99% of the aggressive skates on the market and always went straight back to Aeons. Picked a pair of these up for an absolute steal brand new on blade trade and couldnt be happier with them. The weight coming from Aeons took a couple sessions to get used to, but now i dont even notice at all. I skate my with intuition premiums which allows me to have the buckles loose but the liners done up tight which still gives me a ton of support. Have had zero issues with pressure points or numb feet since skating these and a few sessions have been around 4 hours long. The shallow grooves threw me a bit at first, deffo a skate that needs a good curb session out of the box. Was using fluid 4’s and felt like i kept almost slipping out of the grooves so put some creates on and that has solved that issue straight off. Just a solid all round great high quality skate! Would recommend them to anyone looking for a new skate.
I just binned my M12 Loco boot as I had tried to mod it to get the fit perfect. They were similar colour to the pigeons. I might have to go and purchase the pigeons now!!!
The hot-spot issue is relative to how Blanks are laced. With waxed laces (10mm width/Hockey) the problem dissolves by how much pressure is applied at each level, allowing your footbed resizer to remain for a snug fit.
I had the same issue with the pressure point same spot same foot. The pain turned me away from the skates. Love the look and soles. Skates fit perfect length I jus couldnt get past the pressure point🤷🏻♂️ Also never used the footboards so I had nothin to remove to make the skate let up on the pain
I use the blank team skates and enjoy them . I originally bought them skates 909s but didn’t like the fit so I bought these ,They are kinda heavy , coming from a deshi carbon . They are solid skates and once I got use to them they are great for me
I love your vids man. My 36yo ass just picked up some lomax aeons and have been ripping it up again. Really seems like a lot of us who went hard as a kid are coming back to blading now and re lighting that fire. They stay in my work truck and I pass at least 3parks a day.
Awesome vid! It was entertaining watching you skate buildings that I frequented during my undergrad! Regarding the weight of the Blanks, I have been skating the Aeons Team 60 with the Sliqx for 8 months. About 2 weeks ago I switched to the Blank Pigeon Skates with Oysi Med frames (I love the Aeons but I just really wanted a skate to try the Oysi med frames on lol). I was originally worried about the weight (they are definitely heavy when holding them), but honestly the Blanks are so solid and with the combination of soul plate design and extra heft in that area, I felt like my confidence level on locking grinds increased significantly. It took me 1/2 of a session to adjust to the weight but, for me, almost everything, from grinds to landing jumps, just feels a tad more solid and more confidence inspiring in the Blanks vs the Aeons. I will give the carving and nimbleness victory to the Aeons though... flat 60 on those give me that feeling of riding an urban 80mm setup. To be clear, the Blanks with Oysi med frames feel nimble and carve well, but the Aeons are exceptional in those areas, at least to me. So if I'm wanting to grind, for me the Blanks are my preference, and days where I'm skating bowls/ transitions with less focus on grinds, I'll take the Aeons :)
Nice to see you both skate and hang out. The skate spots are incredible! The Rollerblade Blank SK look so dope but I'm afraid of the weight of the skates :S
great video, skating and review; I have got the Blanks myself and I LOVE THEM! I wear them with Pat-Ridder-Intuition Liners and screwed the buckles off-> they skate and feel great; also I can recommend them with FLT Freestyle frames; boot-down never felt easier :) and they look dope!
I am currently rolling on NJ Teams and really want to buy a pair of these but there’s no 11-11.5 size option. What gives? Any body out there with that size foot doing ok in the size 12 SKs?
No idea man but power to you! It always amazes me how healthy and energetic someone with diabetes or any other disease for that matter can look :) I’m borderline diabetic now and my knuckles always looks dark and bruised haha
props to you for actually skating street for this. i love my blanks. my favorite skate out right now
I've been skating since 2000 and these are my favorite skates of all-time. So well made.

I have large wide feet. The blanks are perfect for wide feet. (So are the Sways).
@@FDonkey Thanks bro!
I love how you both have these little moments of encouraging each other. Seen in it both ya'lls videos. So nice.
And then there is the hat throw. 😂
Woooooo!!! Amazing video! Thank you so much for coming to blade 💪🏻
9:15 came for the hat throw, was not disappointed

Thanks for the vid bro! I bought these skates in my 33 y.o. almost with the 18 years break :D I like them a lot .
Gainesville rock city!

Have a link to those straps? And how do they stay tight
Great skating as usual! That was a nice squashed sweaty too!
The solo might be the lighter older version, as it has wholes in the shell and you can dismount the negative soulplate...
Great review! Caught a glimpse of angry citrus, a seemingly more rare occurrence these days haha. Hope your hip is still doing alright! 🤘🏼

Bro, that pressure point is what I was talking about. I had to get new liners
Killin it per usual ❤
That line of black rails is magnificent, please tell me it's possible to hit them all in succession haha

🔥🔥🔥🔥 nice video amd skate sesh. 🇵🇭👊
Just wait to be 44 like me hahahahahahha 🤣🤣🤣
My right foot is about a half size bigger.. thicker too.. maybe from breaking it in my younger years
Love seeing people get heated when messing up a trick, it’s not just me😂
What’s your feet mondo ? (I’m at 280mm). Will you buy these over Sways, Fifth Element or Them 909 if you had a wide feet problem ?
🐊🐊🐊
I am currently rolling on NJ Teams and really want to buy a pair of these but there’s no 11-11.5 size option. What gives?
Any body out there with that size foot doing ok in the size 12 SKs?
It's even worse when you're about to hit 38 lol
For reference, what's your mondo?
27.5 🍻
Maaan I would have joined to rip a rail or two.
Instead of saying “sk”. Say Sean Keane. Guy deserves it
🤙🍝🤙🍝
🫡❤️🔥
Don’t like it one bit! ;-)
You have diabetes?
you didn't know?
No idea man but power to you! It always amazes me how healthy and energetic someone with diabetes or any other disease for that matter can look :) I’m borderline diabetic now and my knuckles always looks dark and bruised haha
Hahaha 🤣😂 Fruity boots are still a thing? I thought that stopped with Milly Vanilly 😂😆😂
