Them 909 Skates on my Favorite Ledges // Aggressive Inline Skating
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 сер 2024
- I've been having a tough time with the fit of these Intuition liners in my Them 909. They're just not at all comfortable. So this week I finally heat molded them in the oven, and took them to my favorite ledges to give them a try.

"Alright, souls are feeling pretty good!"
Every video haha love it man!
Lol, they feel really good!
Love what you do for the blading community
Nice Tricks and Cool Blades but Not for me. The soulplate is not Wide, and i like to Ride with wide Soulplate like Shadow or SWAY 57 Seven or Carbon Free. Thx for the Video. And You Progress really Good Bro'. For Sure.. ✌️😎🤘Have a Good Ride and Enjoy Agressiv Blading.😉👋
Very interested in a helmet. Waiting on my 909s to come in and I’ll be sure to heat mold like you did since I’m also on the higher end of the boot size. Keep skating!
I finally broke down n ordered 50/50 frames with juice blocks to go with my 908 Them skates and also had to buy that beautiful backpack you guys sell. I cant wait to skate these frames
OK hear me out. Even though it may look it took you a while to land some of these tricks, I feel like this is the best you've looked skating. When you did lock your tricks, it looks solid clean and controlled. I think these skates look really good on you, and complement your skating. Just an opinion but still a great video. Keep it up Law.
Thanks for the kind words. I put an asterisk on all these tricks due to being a while since a proper ledge session. I could use the help of a wider soul though right now
I'm inclined to agree. Some of those tricks looked really good.
I agree too!
I came here to say exactly what you did. I think his skating looks so much better in these. I think when he rockers the cuff down he will he sold.
I agree with this comment, your tricks looked more solid and clean in this video that I feel they have in other videos
Man it's crazy seeing aggressive skating, I wanted K2 phatties growing up
Check out the USD Carbon skates. I bet you’d love the look
Love to see a session with the usd sway soul plates on your them 909s or 908’s
Gonna see what I can make happen
How to put them on? Some tutorial on the web?
@@user-nn8gg2yh8r I could be wrong because so many skate boots come from so many similar (or the same) molds, different soul frames can fit on a quite a lot of them. Probably just a matter of sanding/shaving a bit of material off the inside of the soul plate or potentially adding some material.
@@almostremembered I saw it done on Reddit, Sway souls on Them 908s. The guy said some grinding/sanding helps, but you can manage getting them to fit on with a little force. Also it requires drilling for the different bolt pattern, but I wasn't sure which he drilled, the boots or the souls, to accommodate the other 🤷
Law if you do this, PLEASE post a video. The 908s are the best fitting aggressive skate for my foot, but the soul is too narrow to learn royales so far 😢
xsjado souls on it haha, i have xsjado plates on my usd imperial, theyre sick af but i think theyll look wierd on thems haha
Your backside unity looks super stylish!
Thanks!
Despite swapping skates so much, you are still progressing. Looking strong. You've been skating pretty consistently for years now!
Thanks!
You're looking pretty comfortable in them now! Glad heat molding helped. Looking forward to seeing you try out the toe expander things. I could use a little more toe room when I use my Intuition liners in my fitness Deshis.
It’s more annoying than painful, but I’ll update you once I get it fixed.
Just bought new skates this week. I came across your videos randomly a few weeks ago and I am ready to get back into blading again. I haven't gotten any new protective gear yet so I am for sure in the market for a new helmet. Your videos are inspiring, p.s. I live in the Raleigh area, maybe we can skate together sometime!!! Thanks for all you do, be safe!
Amazing job bro, loved it ! You get faster and cleaner everytime i watch your vidéos ;) Nice shot for the bs farv, you’ll get it next time ;)
Your inspin and outspin souls are looking great.
Those look very Josh Petty throne like with the grey black and red.
Yeah buddy!
Crushing it!
just finished skating, come in, and new video!
Great videos, totally inspiring! Looking forward to more!
I need that bag in Blue !!!
Loving your content! Since we're all getting back to blading a lot of us are certainly curious about how to put together certain setups, maybe you could film when you put some skates together. I quit blading right when ufs was launched and never changed a frame before 😅 Keep up the hard work! 💪
That’s a good idea. Thanks, welcome back
Maybe the them 909 are not made for begginers and actually for more experienced skaters that's my guess.
Yeah, that’s definitely what I think.
i love your vids... got me contemplating jumping back into blades after 20 years.... honestly tho, you approach your grinds so slow your making it harder on yourself. your placement and balanceis good. you just look like you need to attack the grinds with more speed and youll land way more of your stuff.
Skating fast is scary! I don’t know, maybe it’s easier going fast.
@@BacktoBlading every part of blading is scary... Until it isn't anymore. You can do it!
My 908s feel just like my Sl2s. Heel pad/shock absorber is sooo needed though. I use the huge ones out of my sls.
Omg that Farv was SPICY
I wish I could get it up on the high step. Next time
aaahhh i notice the TEXT on the videos , nice ! remember talking about that??
Keep safe and hope we can all go skate pretty soon. Great session!
Try loosening you buckle one or 2 notches for your topside on ledges. Not too noticeable of a difference but does give just a bit more flex. It will help get a little lower on to the frame and less wheel roll.
Hey Law, I was feeling quite the same with my Intention V2 when I bought the Wizard Skate NR100, but after a few session the liner started feeling amazing. I did hot moulded with hot rice inside a sock, making a small improvement. But what started making a huge difference was to put on the liner and tie the laces super tied, and then put the skates on. It makes a huge improvement. Im getting my 909 this week so Im going to compare them with the Intuition V2 and see if they perform similarly. I'll upload my review of the two intuition liners so that my give you a bit of additional info. But more importantly. be patient with the liner. Once you brake it in, you'll love them.
I wish I could find THEM’s in my size! I won’t buy them used and take away from what Julio is doing. At least I have a reason now to wait! Gotta see the good in the bad ;)
Those Mistrials are looking solid!
Hope you find a pair eventually. They’re a great skate if you have the right liner
You have literally got me back on my blades! Keep up the great work. stay safe
Awesome! Welcome back. What’d you get?
@@BacktoBlading I picked up a set of the Razors SL blue's. I totally agree with you on the wheels. They're so flat and slow!
Iv'e been gone for a good few years so I'm just starting to get my balance back and some grinds!
It would be nice to see some real 'how to' videos especially on groove and topside tricks!
Anyway, keep up the great content :)
I could really use a helmet, thanks for all your doing for skating, watching your growth pushes me!
Zero Mizou and Tru Miz , awesome!
Law, did you leave the foam heel pad in? Do you feel it’s too high with it in? Do you feel that it’s too low without it? Considering the fact that 908/909 have a slight heel raise already.
I took it out. Felt like I was leaning too far forward. I switched to 88a wheels to try and compensate
Back to Blading - Thanks for the reply Law 🙏 I bought a set of your 5050 gray 85a wheels. I can’t wait to ride them. I can tell already, I’m going to love ‘em!! 👍✊❤️
Damn that Steeeeze!
Hah, you’re too kind
yoooo! i love that park! i grew up 5 minutes from there. it is the first free skatepark in Raleigh.
Sounds like the liner is similar to hockey skates where heat molding them helps with the brake in.
I need a helmet!
Keep it up Law. You got that too ledge for sure next time. And if the away souls fit, id love to see that set up!
Sway dang it!
TLDR: Solid session! I agree and had similar experiences.
Wall of text: Although I almost coulndn't believe your first video (being a fan of the intuition v2) I have to admit that I had similar issues now I had one session with them (stiff and even still slightly uncomfortable after heatmolding - guess I tightened them up too much). I am, however, positive the 909s with the intuitions will get better and better with time (as opposed to some skates and liners that will get worse because of too much sloppiness after break-in). At least the v2 worked for me like that (used on a Seba SX for break-in and then putting it into a Razors Shift).
Really interested in that Sway soulpate conversion and your experience as I'm leaning towards that myself. The stiffness at the beginning (which will break-in I hope) and the slim soulplate (which will only get slimmer ;-) don't help with royales or topsides I agree - but coming from a Razors Shift to the 909s I have to say that the soulplates slide a hell of a lot faster out of the box which is really nice and which almost outweighs their slimness. You seem to be slilding very well on them as well! "Souls are feeling pretty good" indeed! The first time I don't get stuck on training AO souls at low speeds. They just slide! You have more experience with other souplates - what's your comparison here? Same/better then USD VIIs/Aeons/5th elements/etc.?
As the 909s have a different shell break than most other brands and are better for a higher and wider feet I truly recommend them to anybody being on the lower end of some shell like me. For me it was the best fitting and most supportive skate out of the box so far. (and I have tried K2 Varsities, Razors Shifts, Seba SXs, USD Sways and Valo V13s with stock and intuition liners being 2 years back to blading).
Liking that you only do small changes for each video. I just heatmolded and put the cuff down before I first skated them, but it is good to hear of your more thorough and systematical approach!
Sorry for the long text, but I really feel strongly about this boot and the liner and I don't think I'm completey blinded by the hype either... ;-) Keep THEM videos coming!
videos are great!
Getting back into skating. My old helmet is busted. I would love one.
Talk about mounting the frames to the boots with the different styles of UFS bolts. Do flat set ups and antrocker setups.
Would love to skate with you when this is all over with I’ll be moving to Raleigh in August
Oh man I could totally use a new helmet. I've been using the same one for 5 years. I would love to skate that park one day.
I hope the lage ones fit with my EU 44,5
Nice tricks
Have you ever thought of realeasing a skate boot Lawrence, or an aftermarket soul plate for the Them skate
Not sure I have the room for a boot. Soul plates are interesting but I think would be expensive with all the sizes needsd
Helmet!
Good stuff man!
You got that farv mate! Stay safe wont you!
Thanks! You too
Looking forward to your next review skating the 909 with the lowered cuff. The 909 is on my radar as my potential next boot. You say that the soles are not that wide -- how would you compare them in size to the soles on the K2 Varsity 2012 (they've been my boot for the past eight years now)?
Can I ask you what size THEM boots you have? Also what size boot Aeons you have?
I am choosing between THEM 909s and Aeons, I have a 28.5cm foot length as well. I have a wide foot too if you could weigh in on the fit in any other way.
I'm also in the market for some wrist guards if you have any suggestions there.
Thanks for the videos mate. I'm 40 and just getting back to blading, over 20 years break after a pretty serious injury on my last committed soul grind.
Loving the content and you have become a real inspiration the more I watch of your videos.
Dang I thought it was you who was saying that the Them skates are the best skates ever for royale tricks? Maybe it was Brandon? Either way...I NEED A HELMET!
I loved them for royales. But I’ve found even better skates over the years.
@@BacktoBlading Ah ok. Thanks Lawrence
I've been skating my them skates and aeons to compare differences and figure out what I like in a skate. the aeons are great I don't know if this is normal but it seems like in getting wear and tear on them a lot faster than my them skates. the aeons are great for groove tricks in comparison but I feel like I have more control with soul tricks on my them skates. I I guess that's the trade-off. after skating my aeons my ankles feel pretty banged up for a couple days maybe it's the my fit liner? I'm waiting for some intuitions in the mail hope they offer more support.
Hello Lawrence. Were there any Problems with the rear wheel catching the end of the leg of the Jeans? Usually the skate carry catches the end, but they look so far up and bent inwards to the leg. By the way will you be shipping some new 50/50 goods to hedonskate? I like to get the New bag and the antirocker but delivery is too expensive from the states.
I thought those frames were orange and I was super stoked. Then I saw red and I got sad
Someday...
I will be waiting sir
GRinds looking good! Just starting to learn souls on my Aeon 80s. Also, you mentioned your feet being 28.5 cm in the 909s. I'll be soon receiving a pair of 908 (Darsts) size S. My feet are ~26.5 cm (not particularly wide). There's a lot of confusion on the sizing. Would you have any tips for creating more space or at 26.5 cm the standard S liner is ok? Great clip!
I think the S will be find for your foot.
im a regular 7 in vans, foot is between 25/26 and i fit the Inutition S exactly in them skates.... not sure if the darst liner has the neoprene on the front, maybe that will help a bit..
@@BacktoBlading you were right! they fit really snug with stock liner. Guess other liners could allow for a bit over 27 cm. Thanks!
yeah Mr B to B!! whats your food size? what you prefer in helmets s1 or triple 8??
I skate no helmet no pads.i would use it if i had it though
Id say next test the 908 liner then a run down of other liners you have stocked up.
That’s a pretty good idea
Is there a reason you don't royale the same way that you farv, with your knees to the right? You always seem much more stable/comfortable with your farvs.
I should try that. I royale the way I frontside
not sure if you noticed, but on your Pstars your back foot is over top of the ledge, not actually on it.
Yeah, today especially was bad. I’ve been working on the angle but seriously regressed this session.
I skate in chapel hill and don’t see a lot of people who actually use Inline skates so I mostly longboard but I’m not in a financial position to afford a helmet having one would be greatly appreciated
Hello, have a question, I'm 34 and am wanting to get back into blading, I used to aggressive inline back when I was a lot younger, I have 3 boys now who scoot at the skate parks all the time and they want me to start skating again, I can't seem to find any web site that have my size of blades in, is there a good web site I can go to. TIA
Welcome back! Yeah, things are tough right now. Lots of people getting back and skate companies don’t have enough skates for everyone. If you’re in the US, I know Oak City, Rollerwarehouse and Intuition shops are shipping a ton of skates. Worth giving them a call to ask if you can’t find anything on the website.
@@BacktoBlading thanks ill look into them, I'm stoked to get back out there and see what I remember
I would really love a helmet please. I got new skates but haven't had the money for a helmet and it's keeping me from skating.
Maybe, but nobody is in a coma from a wrist injury
Can you please reply to this? I bought kizer trimax frames (no hardware) I am having way more trouble than it should trying to find the proper hardware with rockerable axles and bolt/spacer sets. Can i get help finding what i need to actually start riding these im having a breakdown lol please help!
you talk about switching soul plates... do you still have those king souls from your 908's? might want to give those a shot
I think you just need a size L for intuition liners, then heat mild them to your feet
I tried those, too big. I was swimming
I’m a stinky weasel I love you
That’s great
I can definitely use a helmet!
I already said laces will put u into a better place in the liner and it will give u more toe room. I find the liners supper shit without the lace
Trying to get a pair with a set up like your Can you guide me where to get online and what set up your using or what set up you recommend also I’m a size 13 us should i get a size 13 us or what size do you think i should get
I’d definitely get the Large 909 and maybe a size 13 MyFit second skin liner. Not sure where you can find them though.
Back to Blading thanks and what wheel plates do you recommend also can i get them with wheels on them already and where can i get them in currently in Miami Florida and around me i don’t have a local skate shop
I would love a helmet my last one fell apart and I can't afford another at this time
I recently bought the 909 and they have improved my skating nearly 10fold I've adapted to the THEM souls so well I don't notice a small soul anymore
You can get a hard shell Bell at Walmart. Look up Jason Marshall's latest post on Facebook.
Dude i need a helmet, my helmet broke up and i was not even skating it just broke
I need a helmet 🙏🏼💙💙💙💙
What shoe size are you?
How do you compare the soul size of the 909 to 5th element?
I liked the 5th souls but they were really heavy for me. Also my size was way too wide for the liner and I slipped around a lot in them
Hi Law, I need a helmet 🤛
I need a helmet, Brink - Soul skaters
Need a hell it
🤓🤓👔
Lo
Lol typo
I figured it out. :)

Topside acid first t! Not of a fan of them skates personally. I love my aeons just stinks I can't ride my balance frames on them
I would absolutely love a helmet law! Kind of feel bad submitting a trick of the month without one but currently laid off and can't get through to unemployment. :/ good luck to everyone
Def need a helmet man
