Hi Brandon, I love your videos! Is that killer, spinning vert kid Malachi the same dude that you gave a pair of skates to in a previous video? I seem to remember something about skates that didn’t fit you but you gave them to some killer young vert skater with that name! Anyway like I said, I love your videos, please keep making them 👍 greetings from Dublin, Ireland 🇮🇪 🙂
In regards to razors deleting their old riders videos, unless there was a request by the photographer or the rider who may actually be the owner of the footage. It makes a person look bad to get rid of history of people who associated with them at one point. I liken it to when people do something like block someone out of a photo or edit them out completely. It doesn't make them look good, it looks super petty on their part.
Hey Brandon, Watched this while putting my speed skates back together after a full cleaning, So yes you have viewers that skate multiple disciplines. I also ride road bike and mountain bikes, The Adapt skates seem a bit like most high end cars, Ferrari And Lamborghini to me, nice to look at, super niche, get a lot of looks and give that "Baller" vibe, may perform well but probably wont be worth the cost. Personally i skate tried and true brands that out perform most others that are over double the cost.
Mally is a beast. RB also dropped the Spanish team. Razor dropping edits is probably them being elitist. Excited for the TNEC, as it's another shell to fit feet. Excited for more THEM stuff. Adapt changing tunes again. The adjustable cruiser is smart for PS to try out. Sola did flat 80 and 90 before lino if I recall. More liners for us to try (Reign) is good.
Bad move when you are trying to sell equipment that will get people injured: Fire the injured guy. The message should be instead, "Life goes on after an injury, don't be scared and go skating."
@19:29: The pronunciation is "purr deems". "Per deim" is Latin, and means "per day" or "by the day"/"for the day" (as stated in the channel description, "...going out skating for the day...").
It's a business, Rollerblade can't carry a skater with an injury when there is barely any money in the sport. It's a pro skaters job to bring exposure to the company and help promote and sell products.
They should do a reissue of the trs tho for sure, the roces 1992 is pretty much that though and they really hit out of the park with those so, maybe RB feels it’s too saturated right now for another pair of vintage early 90s style blades 🤷♂️
I used to be a pretty intense road cyclist and time trialist and I fix bicycles for a living. I have a few different blade homies that ride so we are out here.
Rollerblade could run their social media like a real sports company… send out a videographer or a budget for a weekend of skating = a weekly clip for 6 months.
I think the new lightnings are meant to be a modernized spiritual successor with 165 frames. A skate that should skate relatively like the trs lightning but isn’t riveted and retro. I agree they probably would do better sales with a retro look but I’m sure they’ll be solid skates and they don’t look bad atleast…
FYI the preorder with the frames did not get them any earlier. It was to help fund the shipment and you got a deal with the skate/frame combo. You still get the preorder skate when they release.
Yes but I'm 90% sure its just their big wheel soulframes as the soulplate is too slim. The Them 80s have no UFS bolts www.thisissoul.com/products/909-80s-soulframe-black I hope they are making a soulframe but I don't think they are.
good question, haven;t heard this discussed yet. I would certainly hope they'd still get royalties. Although I've heard of people not getting them after..
Nice to see Adapt displaying their road cycling shoe with a red shimano cleat, aka the cause of your knee injury. ahh they probably just stuck it on there to colour match the insole...
Skeane is a dope dude he definitely didn't deserve to be dropped off the team for such a BS excuse sorry but not posting on social media shouldn't be a requirement for being on a team. Hopefully this opens new opportunities for him.
That happened to lots of people (like Lawrence Ingraham of 50/50 frames, Standard Omni skates & Back to Blading channel here on UA-cam) when they lace up their Roces 5th Elements… unfortunately it seems like it’s just something you’ll have to put up with 😥
I thought that may be the case too but Jon has re-uploaded a few of the videos taken down that he has with no issue. 99% of the time on YT now the music owner just earns money off your video rather than blocking it.
Let's imagine this: you're the brand manager for Blank. Rollerblade tells you you have less budget to work with for the next year. The only way you can keep the brand going, is to drop some pros. Then you drop the person who has been doing the least to promote the brand in the last year. Sucks for all involved and most for Keane of course, but that's how business works. The question is not if the Blank brand manager made the wrong call, the question is if Rollerblade should have cut the funding.
I don't think there is any easy way to know but I believe they are easily in the top 3. Very popular with the more casual skater who isn't watching new videos on UA-cam.
I've been buying razors for years and even live in the same area. and I been hating in the razors comment section for like 2 years. It was good to see what they were up to, but the quality of the edits were SO bad. they were being handed decent footage, and just putting free music over it. USD does this too. The latest jon fromm edit was not good, even though the skating was dope. Him and his editor were fighting with people in the comments on the last edit they put up before they got dropped lmao
If you read this, I appreciate you ❤
Thanks for watching.

@@lustforlow-end6022 Thanks so much for watching! Yes that is the same guy. he keeps getting better and better! Cheers for the support!
I don't quite understand Razors' move to delete the edits. Those pros might not ride for them anymore, but it still promotes the product, no?
If Rollerblade made an affordable regular, basic 1995-96 Lighting, (even the same cuff and frame) with UFS/soul plate option.
I’d buy it.
I may be totally wrong, but I think you just wished for Roces M12s which use the same mold.
@@uu3903 No I’d want the same cuff (not TRS) the same exact ‘94-‘95 frame... Just with soul plates. So technically m12-like soul plates

Rollerblade dont know how hard selling those skates was... i would get hurt too
Per diems! 🔥🔥🔥 sick videos for sure.
Great show this week Brandon! Cheers!
The videos are even better than Brandon's pronunciation. 🤣

Appreciate the feature 🤝🏽! 🫙

Again don't give RB any ideas.

You need to be an ambassador for the brand. Promote, represent, be present in the community and help the company develop.
Blank and Razors got tired of making money, apparently
Right? Having videos left up on your channel doesn't harm you in anyway.
Rollerblade could run their social media like a real sports company… send out a videographer or a budget for a weekend of skating = a weekly clip for 6 months.
Calling it now.....Broom will be off razors and razors will be gone by the end of the year....

The WZRD looks fantastic besides the price. I would be scared to fall on those and repairing them costs 300+ Euro.
PS, those are not the new reign liners in that oak city post - look at the interior colour and the fact that it's a v-cut.
that "new" reign liner looks EXACTLY like the one which is already shipped with the Razors Shima 3.1
The funny thing is that it’s a familiar story about some one that was big pro
And frame is not the only one of its kind, adapt has had a flat 4x90 they make thays super high quality for a great price…
The Them souls are one solid piece, frame and soul plate are one. Look at the lack of ufs bolt in the front of the soul plate at 10:56
Yes but I'm 90% sure its just their big wheel soulframes as the soulplate is too slim. The Them 80s have no UFS bolts www.thisissoul.com/products/909-80s-soulframe-black I hope they are making a soulframe but I don't think they are.
If a skater gets dropped does the name of their pro skate change? If their name stays on the skate do they still get any money?
good question, haven;t heard this discussed yet. I would certainly hope they'd still get royalties. Although I've heard of people not getting them after..
Pretty sure RB doesn’t own the old TRS mold. From my understanding that is the M12 mold so RB literally can’t do the old TRS Lightnings.
Was there a contract that expired to make the TRS possible? Wondering how they could make it work now.
@@iRollerboot are they actually making old school TRS boots again?
That Tnec slat looks like a boot mushroom
Blading had posted pics of,
if them did a riveted cuff and soul frame i would be so stoked!!
Glad I'm not the only one. I would love that. No bolts to worry about, better flat groove 🔥🔥
Nice to see Adapt displaying their road cycling shoe with a red shimano cleat, aka the cause of your knee injury.
ahh they probably just stuck it on there to colour match the insole...
Skeane is a dope dude he definitely didn't deserve to be dropped off the team for such a BS excuse sorry but not posting on social media shouldn't be a requirement for being on a team. Hopefully this opens new opportunities for him.
Who's heel roll was that?!?! Insane amount of control
Travis Rhodes instagram.com/p/C4RG7OyRIv3/ Such a cool clip 🔥
The liner is not what is shown in the skate. The reign liner shown in that video in the cult is the old V3.
A friend of mine bought the playlife reactor and ripped out two eyelets lacing them up for the first time. 🤦
That happened to lots of people (like Lawrence Ingraham of 50/50 frames, Standard Omni skates & Back to Blading channel here on UA-cam) when they lace up their Roces 5th Elements… unfortunately it seems like it’s just something you’ll have to put up with 😥
@@lustforlow-end6022 Thanks for the heads up!
The TNECs seem fun. I hope soul frames catch on.
Look for drama, you'll find it every time 🙄🤣
Copyright will get edits bumped off also.
I thought that may be the case too but Jon has re-uploaded a few of the videos taken down that he has with no issue. 99% of the time on YT now the music owner just earns money off your video rather than blocking it.
another solid video man

Where’s K2 damm it lol
❤❤❤
You are only assuming they deleted these videos. They coule be deleted by UA-cam due to some copyright restrictions.
But how much you think he help in the design of the blank skates too...that sucks
Is razors the most selling?
I don't think there is any easy way to know but I believe they are easily in the top 3. Very popular with the more casual skater who isn't watching new videos on UA-cam.
14 years its alot of time , but then again he wasnt broskow , morales caliber to be mad about
what's your sister's bike ig?
