My two liners is the myfit prime liners and the rollerblade blank liner. I love their two fits. I was sooo surprised by the blank liner diamond in the rough for sure
Il say this about white skates, they really work well if you film a bunch at night or on darker days , the dark coloured skates can get a bit lost in the background. Perfect for those long Scottish winters.
Agree with the cuff comments. The cuff is low and has little forward flex support. There is no forward flex resistance. So if your preference is for some forward flex rebound look elsewhere.
Agreed with everything you said. They need to revise that shell and stop making more crofts skates until they fix all this. Frames, souls and forward flex or cuff. My lomax greys have that issue too I can't tighten them up that much or when I do the cuff starts twisting.
I know there are definitely plans to make changes. One thing about Powerslide is they are always coming up with new ideas and always refining their products, it's very commendable.
I don't see how they are different. The after market Sam croft liner may come with upgraded footbeds compared to the witze liner. However, i think Sam explained that there was confusion at the factory and the improved footbeds weren't included.
That's a great skate review and your opinions on the Aeon mirror mine almost to the letter. I had the Grayeons for about 8 months...they are good but not for me. That cuff is a real problem and the material is just too slow on grinds.
I haven’t. I tried the GC aluminium but they weirdly slid really badly on both coping and rails at Unit 23 Skatepark after I got them for the winter skatepark season, so I got rid of them. I’m not sure how compatible aluminium frames are with the type of skating I like to do. Scottish ledges are pretty rough.
@@wheelsceneblading strange isn't it, you would think the metal on metal would be butter I saw some people swear by them with the plastic h block insert for flat. I have recently moved to Newcastle yet to go out and skate to see what's it like around here
Newcastle has some brilliant spots. The brown metal ledges outside the University of Newcastle are brilliant. Hit up Andy Billington on Instagram or Curb Cartel on Instagram.
@@wheelsceneblading will do mate will join the Facebook group when the weather gets better. I already spotted them ledges when I parked there last month
Great Review, However I feel it needs pointing out that USD still have the sizing wrong on the AEON. You say you're a size 10 running the 9-9.5, but the euro size equivalent of 10 is 44.. which if you'll notice is what he 9-9.5 is labelled (43-44). lovely looking skate. personally I prefer the old cuff, better fitting and support.
I would argue that's less USD being wrong about the sizing and instead the sizing system being flawed in general. They don't claim it to be a specific size, instead they say it fits a range of sizes from 9-9.5, which it does. Also, the difference between a size 9.5-10UK is minimal. Foot shape definitely plays an equally important role to length when it comes to fitting in certain skates.
Fairly sure the gap at the back of the cuff is because the first skate that had that cuff was the Crofty 2s which were the first skinned Aeons. I think the skin fills the gap on that skate and feels weird on the plain plastic ones.
The skin doesnt come close to filling that gap. The aeon share the cuff with other powerslide skates such as the swell. So it's a case of powerslide reusing molds across skates, but the part not quite fitting.

That is a valid point!
David, in this video you have cuffs in lower position.
I am aware the bolt being higher means the cuff is lower and vice versa. I skated both positions and didn’t notice any difference.
Was about to comment that as well.
@@wheelsceneblading yeah but then you hold them next to the sways to talk about how low they are...
@@Pratalax no matter the position, they are lower than the Sway
4:44 ooooo nice hangtime
Nice review and can’t wait to cop a pair of these 🤩 swear your back savs both look natural or is that the beer talking? 🤔
You little charmer!
When I saw the video thumbnail, I thought I am clicking on a Ricardo Lino video 🤣
Sorry to disappoint you.
The design and color theme on the skate is out of this world.
Is this meant more for aggressive skating than cruising in the city?
Aggressive
Have you skated the newer Aeon Lomax? Be really interesting to compare the two
No, but I’d be surprised if there’s much difference

Are the liners the same as the Witze liner with the improvements he made to the previous Prime. Apart from colour of course
I don't see how they are different. The after market Sam croft liner may come with upgraded footbeds compared to the witze liner. However, i think Sam explained that there was confusion at the factory and the improved footbeds weren't included.
I haven’t seen the Witzemann liners in the flesh so I couldn’t say, but they are from the same range.
yes, these two should be the same

Hi love the videos
Out of curiosity mate have you ever skated the sola street frame if so thoughts? The H block looks quite shallow
I haven’t. I tried the GC aluminium but they weirdly slid really badly on both coping and rails at Unit 23 Skatepark after I got them for the winter skatepark season, so I got rid of them.

@@BourneRolling they literally gripped the old down rails. It was insane.

What was your foot size again? 275?
I think I am 275, yeah.

@@longtermsquatter True. It fits even worse on the swell too
Yes, dark pantzz & light skates. 👌😄
I definitely liked how they looked on camera
the cuff in this video is set to low...
I meant as in the cuff bolt position was moved to the rockered up, I am aware this means the cuff is lower.
it sounds like you dont realise this in the video tbf but good review though man@@wheelsceneblading
Didn’t even want these before watching this
must be nice having multiple indoor spots!!!!
@@chinobean3555 I’ve got no complaints
Those prime liners cost just as much as intuitions
Really?! When I looked on Loco a week or so ago they were £100
Rad. Cuffs are overrated
Hahahahaha
