- Rollerblading or inline skating was at the top in the 1990s. 29.1 millions people were putting on inline skates and it was everywhere. MTV sport, Movies like Airborne and there were lots of amazing brands.
I’m going to take a deep dive into brands like Cozmo wheels, FR, England Clothing, Fiction and tell the story behind this amazing rollerblading brands from the 90s.
Where did the first grind plates come from? Which brand was previously know as Sumo. How did 50/50 start? Why were Cozmo wheels so good?

Little bit of extra history about Blood. It didn't technically go away. A little over 20 years ago, Blood became Eulogy Wheels. Both were started and run by Isaac Oltmans who, continues to maintain the brand today.
Oh sick, that’s cool. Thanks for the info. Blood and Eulogy were/are both so good!
Woah. I feel like they’re prob doing better today than they did in ‘96
Fiction and England were class. Little shout out for Scribe too. Some of their tees were cracking!🙌🏻
So Sick. Yea just gave scribe a little shout but should have dropped some pics of the t-shirts!
Tom, the jokes and puns are on another level this time around 😂 👏👏👏
Cheer mates - any favourite 90s brands in there?
@@TomMoyse FR and Fiction, for sure. Hyper Wheels, with that iconic H logo, were my go-tos.
Great video!
Takes me right back to flicking through Rollersnakes catalogue, wanting to buy everything. Great vid 😊
Haha I was getting that feeling going back through the team paradise catalogue
This is some quality in-depth history and the research/work you put in to make these videos is much appreciated!
Thank you mate, really appreciate the kind words. Doing my best to unearth and share these stories! 🙌🏻🫡
Good flashback fella. I remember ringing around a bunch of UK skate shops to acquire a white/grey camouflage Hangers pullover jacket. Back in those days I’d be posting off cheques written out by my parents to shops in the US to have them ship me 50/50 frames and juice kits to the UK, some of which I still have today. Great days
Haha so wild what you’d have to do to get the gear from the US
Tom, this is fantastic, great history lesson and a lot of new morsels of insight I never knew about these legendary brands! Thanks for a properly refreshing deep dive!🙌
Cheers mate. Was great diving back through the stories - and there is lots of great ones out there
Totally! I always appreciate hearing how early skateboard participants were involved in the beginning of aggressive inline...after two decades of rift it's easy to forget that there was once overlap.
I always skated Kryptonics when I was a kid, the Stones on the outside and the Pebbles in the middle. My friend Steven had all the England gear back in tha day . I was jealous for sure . Lol
So many great memories repping those 90s brands. A 976 beanie with a massive Medium hoodie was my jam. Fatty Pros stuffed with socks to beef them out 😂
Hahaha yes beef em out
I really enjoy these rollerblading history videos, I always enjoyed it as a kid back in the day but I was a bit too young to be a part of the scene (aggressive inline was dominated by teenagers at the time). Interesting to hear about the culture, some of this stuff I remember seeing.
Thanks man - it great going back through all the stories. It always felt like everyone was just a little older than me but actually were probably the same age haha
Someone stole my England hoodie in high school. It didn’t end well for him. Also, I was in London one time and randomly ran into BHS while wearing and England shirt…epic day.
Sick!!! England was so good
Memories right there man. Sub 28 had a dope AF logo
🙌🏻🙌🏻
The use of fart noises was exceptional on this one!! 💨💨🐶
Ha thanks mate. Got to be careful using those. Defo not two vids in a row
I used to get Pleasure Tools wheels. They had merch that all the groms in ‘95-‘96 videos would wear
🙌🏻 Yea I know the ones
In 1995-96 I had a navy blue Fiction shirt, Senate jeans and the CDS Detroit heal and soul plates. I definitely had Scribe grind plates and a chain wallet as well
Loving the dream - doing it right
Yo Woodies were the best grind plate I've ever used
I remember them being good on rails,
and I mean
"wax replacement good"
if you catch my drift
That time was probably the first time for me to be in semi pro competition
Great memories
Yes man! Woodies looked so sick, couldn’t get hold of them but did have burgundies
Top video, loved a lot of these back in the day but the Medium peaked beanie was the one!
Yea, would love to have some Medium now
This is really interesting Tom! Some more brands that could make interesting content: MONX, lB|, The Runner's project, UNITED, Artysm, 2R, Franco Shade, Blow, Ucon.
Sick yea some greats in there, might do a follow on focusing on brand from 2000s
U got everyone on Blade Trade looking for 90s merch after this 😆
hahah - was looking at a lot of stuff myself while putting this together.
Ah, such nostalgia here. I still remember my olive green england tee, wore that thing everywhere.
Yes!
What an absolute nostalgia overload Tom. Thanks for this. How great were the 90's skating shirts? I mean, what better way to come off* as a "bright kid, but with a mysterious edge" at your local middle/high-school? Brand names no one heard of, but were all strangely alluring. Funny, I had to turn my Medium "Cartoon Violence" shirt inside out the one day I wore it to school.
It’s been great pouring through the old catalogues and articles looks at those 90s designs - I love lots of them, if not all of them. I think it’s a combination of nostalgia and also 90s designs/styles coming back round again (maybe that’s just for me haha).
Haha so funny about having turn the tee inside out. Skating brands did have an edgy, mysterious vibe!
@@TomMoyse Now that I think about it, someone almost told teacher on me for the Rise Above "tree" shirt, since it had a tiny bird smoking a J in the design. Rebel youth we were.
Hahaha
I was young enough back then that I can only vaguely remember more than a few of the brands. Fifty/50, Senate and weirdly Pawn I remember the most. So this helped me remember stuff! Lol
Thanks for the awesome video!
My pleasure, was so may sick brands the ones you mentioned defo stand out
Oh my goodness, y'all remember that movie Airborne? I must have watched it a thousand times😊
Haha yes
Proper enjoyed that, back to your best with the metaphors! The pawn gloves section was incredible. I want some now.
Cheers pal!
Cozmo wheels were the spotty dog back in the day. I had flashbacks when I saw them in the vid.
So sick
You’re speaking to my 16 year old self! A trip down memory lane. Thanks dude! I remember having a pair of Senate boxers and a USD beanie that I loved so much - def what I wore when going to ride at Mike Scott’s skatepark in St George Utah 🥲😅
The Pawn bit had me in tears. 😂
Haha 🧤🧤
Fantastic! I love that some of these details I wasn't aware of. I did a lot of research into the 90s brands way back. This is amazing as it resolves a lot of solved mysteries and surprises I had.
Thanks for the kind words. It’s very tricky, finding solid information on these old rollerblading companies, which is a really shame but glad I unearthed some bits you didn’t know
You started with COZMO. Yes, this is a man who knows what he’s talking about. Best wheels ever made.
COZMO were amazing. Uncle Ollie's page have some great info on it plus and old Arlo interview spoke about it a-lot. Such a interesting story
I had some Oxygens skates in the 90s. Those where hardcore street. Very fat, heavy, tuned for grinding
Yea made those thing were solid
Great video as always fella 👍 😉 made me laugh that frames felt like mayo and wouldn't stand a fart from a dog 😂 😂 😂
Hahaha cheers man
Back at making bangers yet again.
Haha much appreciated - any favourites in there?
I wish I had all my old catalogs! Great episode
So sick. Thanks dude. Manage to get a clips from your vids in there as well 🙌🏻🫡
@@TomMoyse hah, I saw, and thank you.
😁🙌🏻
Fiction, England, 976,,etc...gosh I miss that era so much!
Was great time
Thanks so much for making this video Tom! It brought back so many memories. And it’s amazing that you were able to dig up so many of the catalog ads. I especially loved seeing those 976 ads. I remember wanting the entire line but as a teen, I was lucky if I could just get a few tees and a hoodie 😢 Great vid! And salute to all the 90’s skaters! Those days may be gone but they’ll never be forgotten!
I had the Pawn Julio gloves. I kinda wish they were still around.
Amazing - wish I had them
This is my era!!
Great era - any favourite brands in there?
Do another of these. There’s so much more to cover. A more in depth international brand one? Artysm - OUT - Crazy Roller France / shifty - puberty etc UK
🙌🏻🫡
Wish i knew what happened to all my 90s skate gear 🙁. I was always rocking my hyper tshirt, 976 cap and puberty jeans
Same
Probably the most interesting rollerblading video of the year! A beautiful documentary, better than « barely dead »! How can you have so many informations and photos of this part of our history?? It’s amazing! This remember me when I was reading the monthly French rollerblading magazine « crazy roller » again and again and again!
Thank you very much for the kind words. Did a lot of research for this one. I remember crazy roller!
Crazy roller ! J'attendais sa sortie avec impatiente !
Bringing back a lot of memories especially the FR stuff, me being a New Yorker, wish I could find some of these brands shirts
Yea proper rare grail pieces
I have 69% of stuff noted, the FR you're wheels suck sticker is hung in my car to this day.
I still skate Senate Remz and sales wheels and frames
So sick
A moth chewed holes in my Fiction t-shirt recently. I killed it.
Damn
Had to be done. Street is always watchin for weakness.
Rampant Skateshop still has some cozmo merch in stock!
Yea I noticed that - so good
Sold a lot of Heavy & Cozmo Wheels…I was the Atomic Ski & Oxygen Skate representative in Texas, and surrounding states…Heavy was made by Kryptonics but the guys behind the brand were very creative with lots of T-Shirts from the Hanna-Barbara cartoon characters.
Love seeing some of the clothing and hardware that I still have today! No mention for Puberty flying the British flag?
🙌🏻🙌🏻 Mentioned them in another video
These are awesome. I think you should do a 2000-2005 and a 2006-2012 or so.
Yea sounds good
the episode we NEEDED!!!!
Cheers pal - any favourite brands in there?
@@TomMoyse i mean England was a whole era
Amazing times in the 90's 🤟🏻❤️🔥
was a good ole time
Had the orange kryptonics on my daytonas. Didn't have any england stuff but did go to the razors England jam at PlayStation. Great video as always
Sick man, good times
I still have the green Pawn gloves in near mint condition but I just dug out my old rollerblades and bought a skateboard so who knows how long they'll stay looking good!
Gills backslide looked slow mo in regular speed
Runners Project, England, and Mindgame. My Runners Project skate bag was amazing.
Such great brands
Real history!😤🤧
🙌🏻🫡
Great work Tom, killer content
Thanks man!
England was dope!! I really loved those hoodies and pants.
So sick
My first setup was the original rollerblade TRS’s and Hyper wheels that were so small you could barely take turns in them without skidding out. Small enough to be anti rocker wheels but they were soft 🤷 And white scribe grind plates. Boy I miss those days
I bladed the NYC streets in the 90s. It was not uncommon to see rival crews rolling around town from spot to spot
Good times
McGregor is on the juice system, perfect 😂
Haha
Thanks a lot Professor! I really liked the Pawn gloves, I wish they make an improved comeback! I always thought they would be a much better option to wristguards. I hate the wristguards, so uncomfartable.
🙌🏻🧤
Sick video man
Thanks pal
Sick episode 👊🏽☠️
Cheers pal - what was you favourite brand from the 90s
Such a great episode. I rode for Kryptonics then moved over to Hyper Wheels and Boss Speed Bearings.
Sick man!
Sick man!
Fantastic job 🐶
Cheers man
Never knew that backstory about Cozmo wheels they were good i had a purple set of Cozmo wheels and yes they lasted for ever.
Yea incredible wheels
Loved my Puberty trousers
I’ve still got a Hangers t shirt. 😊
So sick!
Spotty Dog! I had so many of these shirts, Still have my FR YOUR WHEELS SUCK tho. Whew. Excellent video.
YES MAN! wish i had that tee. So many more i could go for right now. Any bits you wish you still had?
@@TomMoyse Just rewatched... I had the SLAPAHOE shirt! I forgot about HARDLINE til now. Ha! Also Rise Above merch was excellent. I had a shirt with just an F- on the front too I think it was a 976 shirt. I'd rock the entire team paradise catalog to this day if I could.
Ok I’m a little disappointed Crank Straps wasn’t included. They were one of the OG’s imo
The had the best ad in an early daily bread as well! great shout. Way too many to get em all
Had some 976 cargo pants... they were dope.
🙌🏻
I used to have a blood hoody and absolutely loved it 😂
Gold dust!!!
@@TomMoyse on one hand it makes me feel old but on the other this video was a trip down memory lane! Love it tom keep smashin it mate!
@@j4nk3n thanks man. So many good stories from the 90s. So much gear I wish I had
What about Late clothing brand and jelly jeans. Just remember them from the 90’s aggressive skating. Nice video though. Brought back good memories, oh and harbinger knee pads
Yo I remember not being able to afford those pawn wrist guards but I wanted them sooooo bad. I would defintely rock them out everywhere if I could find a pair especially when drinking a beer lmao 😅
Haha I don’t think I know anyone who got them - but everyone wanted them haha
Still want those 🥤 UNBALANCED 50/50 CLEAR
Fiction and 976!
The best
If you're hankering for another set of Pawn gloves there is a company called Rook that is reproducing them today. I just ordered a pair this week. Waiting for them to show up.
Yea had heard of them recently. Sounds great enjoy. Wouldn’t mind and original pair just as a keepsake
Crank Straps
I woulda fucking killed for a pair of PAWN gloves back in the day day!!!
Oh cool DB magazine still have mine anyone remember b unique clothing

Once upon a time I won ONE pawn glove in a comp at my local skatepark. Ok, so the event was organised by BMXers, but come on who wears one glove apart from Michael Jackson
Hahaha 🧤
Big game tomorrow night for the mighty NUFC 😉👍
COME ON!!
@@TomMoyse I had a fair few fake heart attacks tonight. Great result away from home, great defence performance but we do need to improve. Hard earned point away from home.
still got my Oxygen Argon 3.1 :))
Nice
Puberty was a brand we all wore in uk bitd
Yea I had the glow in the dark grind plates and key ring they did
I had few pairs jeans a green pair of shorts and few tees my bro had flat cap lol
I can’t with the “Riviera” pronunciations 😂
Hahaha always how we used to say it as kids, couldn’t break that habit
Had products from nearly all them company's my og fiction beanie also got nicked from work only last year was well gutted and my pawn gloves where awesome
Damn - fiction clobber is hot property
@@TomMoyse thriving scum lol
I still have my dads old Oxygens.

OCCULULTURE AND ENIGMA WERE THE BEST BACK INT DAYZ ❤

Where are the KRANKSTRAPS!? where are the CDS Detroit plates?!
🙌🏻

So sick
Menace pads
Omg Where is those NIMH SSMSSSS
That’s wasn’t the 90s
Cozmo was the best but where are SCR Super Computer Robot, Timezone and Lazzy Legs?
Does anyone remember Heavy and Meatz wheels also.
Meatz! That’s as obscure as it gets
Yes!!
90's ☠️🤌🏽
Was a fairly good time the 90s
If we could get some old like 00s ricta wheels inspired for rollerblading omfg those damn wheels would never wear out built like fucking tanks we be rolling around in dirt ramps and shit.
HHaha
Puberty and anglo
Heavy UK hitters
@@TomMoyse epic??? Did you know that one?? Northern manc brand
@@danielflannigan223 rings a bell, round the same time as LATE and maybe Shifty
Yeah I'd say later years.. rick from Stockport.

Gave em a little shout, but could have done more for sure. Too many great brands
@@TomMoyse u gotta do part 2, the history lessons are sick!!!
