i customized my old bcam salomons w/ 2.0 souls. customizing was the best part. not actually skating w/ them. nostalgia got me hyped up but yeah not the actual skating. now days rocking shifts w/ 2 sets of frames. best thinks right now are those shifts/aeons. new shit. support it! but yeah, those guys rocking salomons are probably the same guys who buy the most blading relative stuff anyways so i dont think THEY are the once killing the industry.

I'm living in Brazil and here a good skate costs about 2 minimum salaries, that means that an average brazilian worker will spend 2 months of work to buy a new skate. Is complete out of our reality the prices that skating companies are offering to Brazil and for most of the latin america citizens. Maybe it explains why such an amazing sport as in line skating have so few practioners. I believe that aggressive skating is connected with the street culture which is related with urban commons, movements of resignifying the city and urban cultural movements such as hip hop; but the high price are taking the sport to a different place. So that, buying used skates is an alternative for that. Furthermore, we are living a scenary of environmental collapse and buying used things is a way away from the road for that scenary. If the used skates can be used but the owner don't want to skate anymore, why don't we buy it instead of puting that skate in the garbage?

yes, used skates are great and skates should be designed to last as long as possible, so that selling them used makes sense. a lot of older skates might last longer than newer skates even, because they might be designed stronger and use better materials, that can take more of a beating. the rossignol descender is over 20 years old now as a skate and still used today as one of the top inline downhill boots. this wouldn't be possible, if it used cheap soft plastics or soft garbage buckles, etc...

I think there’s a couple of reasons why many bladers buy or hunt out the old Salomons. A. Many bladers who are in their 30s now want to remember the good old days when the sport was huge. The best made skates back then included Salomon. These skates are now almost like useable collectors items to those that want them. B. Currently available options. In a sport that has a lot of focus on unique style, people want to be different. Having a useable, well built pair of skates that are no longer available sets you aside from the crowd. I totally understand your points in the video and will be buying the Them model when it’s out and if it fits me well. I’ll also keep hunting for old Salomon models, because I’m one of the older guys that still misses the good old days.

All my friends who skate salos bought them just because they was the best skates available on a secondhand market when they needed a new pair of skates. It wasn't the choise between salomons and new skates, it was a choise between used pair of salomons and used pair of ther brand skates. At least they still skate, they buy wheels, frames, usd soulplates and sometimes VODs. For some of them that might be the only option to keep skating. If you won't to support the industry, then don't sell your old skates. Leave them for yourself, or better, give them away to somebody who wants to try skating but not sure enought to put his money into it.

Thanks Lino! I just went through all the comments under this video, and one point that seem like everybody is missing is that salomons had a separate shell size for every foot size. I really enjoy skating remz myself when I was younger and had smaller feet, but now I got a size 43EU, so I can't fit a second size shell anymore, but third shell goes for three sizes(43-45), that means that I would have to skate a huge boots with two extra sizes, which is highly uncomfortable. Same thing with the most of other brands, instead of putting money in developing a slightly different shifts, razors could make more sl mould sizes. USD got five different boots, I know that all carbons got different shell sizes, but none of the classical hardboot plastic skates can offer you an accurate shell sizing.

I actually can’t stand the bigger wheel sizes that’s “innovative” these days. Too fast for my skill level. Give me some 68mm wheels in a recreational skate! My new pair has 80mm wheels. Yeah, I fell into a snowbank first time I used them cause they are too fast for me. I want my 68mm,70mm,72mm era styles back! I won’t ever be racing, I just want the control of slowness. We need to push for retro re-releases. The newer boots are nicer and more comfortable though. I will give them that. Then again, I got some primo skates for $39.99 in store a bit over a decade ago. These days, even the cheapest Amazon skates are $60. Harder wheels, bigger wheels, softer boots. Yeah sure, can you give me back the older styles at reasonable prices? I have half a mind to buy a pair of used kids skates just for the wheels. Cheaper than buying wheels alone.
@kamilciura7953

Well, let me to put my two cents in: 1) I don't really understand why you are pointing at Salomon skates specifically when reality is that ANY second-hand goods means no money for the industry. Does it matter if someone is buying 2nd hand old Salomons or Valo from 2011 or some old USD Carbons 2? No, it doesn't. Imo big part of the issue is lack of any technical progress represented by most of the brands. New colors, different skin patterns, sometimes only slight tweaks, that's what they offer. Why the hell anyone should choose current Razors Genesys release over only slighty used (but two times cheaper) 2nd hands ones from 3,4,5,6 etc. years back? It's not like the skate is any different. 2) Keep in mind: everytime the new, fresh product releases (Aeons for example) it does fly off the shelves. But other than that, market is saturated with way too many similar products which spreads the resources way too thin. I think Powerslide could use an axing of skate or two (esp. GAWDS skates which doesn't make any sense as premium offering - I mean, at what people are these aimed at?!). Razors should ditch the outdated Cult already. These are just some examples. And, in relation to the size of aggressive market, there are way too many parts companies run by people for whom it's just a side-business. That way resources are split between too many brands and none of them can be truly successful because they are lucky if they'll get invested money back. 3) Buying new is not always helping the aggressive. Do you think buying a pair of RB or K2 skates means that money return to skaters in the end? No, it does not. These companies do not have teams and nowadays rarely support any events in any meaningful way. Of course, funds gaind on selling aggressive skates may be used for sustaining inline side of business as a whole, but it also may be drained and put in to ski business for all we know. 4) I really think that "Pro" status no longer means anything important. Way too many people who just skate great but do not have a personality and/or do not work for benefit of the sport got the "Pro" status in the past. Remember a pro-model for Matthieu LeDoux? Don Bambrick? A "Pro" should be a person who does bring in exceptional value for the skating not only in terms of skill, but also in terms of being a role-model, sport ambassador. But it seems that in a world of blading even a jackass can become a pro if he skates well. From the looks of it, about 40% of new skates are "pro" models. Some boot companies just enter the market with a "Pro" model without offering any basic skates at all! Seba, Trigger, Adapt (before release of Vegan model). And way too many of these skates are the ones on expensive end of the spectrum. Valo V13 pro models, Montre Sway or Abrate VII aka the pro skates that teenager can afford - are rather rare and exception to the rule. 5) Industry is not in the shape it is because of product choices, most important factor is a community one. Ricardo, you well know that speedskating does maintain pretty healthy structure, that freeskating is booming, that freestyle slalom is still popular worldwide, that even rec sector is growing. Why? Because of mature approach to the subject. People are taking courses to become certified instructors. They form formal clubs, leagues, run skate schools, workshops, they teach newcomers. Very few aggressive skaters do this. They think "being out there" is enough and argue about unimportant crap. Then they are shocked - "why our sport is dying?". Because you are doing terrible job at convincing anyone it's worth to pick it up!

I usually agree with you and I'm a BIG fan of your channel. But, as a person that has a pair Salomons in my collection, I respectfully disagree. If the big skate company's (because there are no small companies making skates besides maybe Adapt) sales are being threatened by a finite (because they are no longer made) and constantly declining (due to use) supply of Salomons, I think there is a much deeper rooted issue here. This is like blaming a decline in new car sales on the vintage car market. I personally think too many people are enamored with the big companies and don't care for the smaller companies that supply parts (wheels, soul plates, etc). Also the lack of small companies feeds the ongoing problems. I'm an industrial designer, and was part of the team that designed and developed the Grey Matter UHMW souls. I'm also working with another small company to hopefully launch a similar product, although the project has been on a long hiatus due to time constraints on my end. I'd love to collaborate with other companies to design, develop, and bring to market some cool shit! Keep up the awesomeness, and good to see you voicing your opinion regardless of how many people will crap on it. ✊🏻

Informative and educational. I appreciate your video. I'm going to give my thoughts on the whole "new/used" products and why there is a need for both. As much as I have supported our industry for possibly the past 20+ years, I've got to say that without the pre-owned market then there wouldn't be a scene to support in the first place. Not many can afford a new set of skates to start off or even those getting back into the sport. I'm just recently getting back into it after a long hiatus and I wasn't going to buy a brand new pair of skates off the bat as I didn't know if I'd be skating all too much as I have old injuries and I was testing the water with my abilities. At £200+ I couldn't justify spending that money when I was unsure of how much I'd be skating. The beauty of being able to buy preowned skates is that I was able to regain my passion for the sport and fall in love with it all over again. So after a while I tried different skates, asked around about new skates and what others recommend and whether the technology these days would be to my taste. This has led me to want to support the industry by purchasing new skates and products so in my eyes, its a symbiotic relationship between old and new products. As with the Salomon, we are nostalgic and want to grab a piece of that history as it was an icon when it was first released and has stayed that way since. Just like a car nut will want to collect a classic car, we want to collect older memorabilia and relive those days of long summer nights skating street with the crew after binging on Senate and VG tapes. I've said what many have said before me, I know. But just by skating, we are supporting the sport. Those that can't afford new skates still have the chance to skate and are contributing to the numbers, those that can afford new products are contributing to the growth of the industry financially. Peace out brother, keep making awesome videos. #justheretoskate

for those too lazy to go find it, here it is: Dave Lang January 10, 2018 · "People have been wondering why rollerblading was removed from Nitro World Games and I recently learned why. It had nothing to do with the fact that Nitro Circus looked down on blading. In fact, Travis Pastrana was the loudest person in the judges booth while we were competing. The reason WHY we were taken out of the event was due of the outpouring of negativity that came from INSIDE OUR COMMUNITY via social media comments, etc. Social media analytics play a huge part in marketing today and the Nitro Circus team saw exactly the way rollerblading responded to itself. The numbers showed that participants in our sport had the lowest numbers in attendance at the shows and the highest response of negativity in the comments section. Not skateboarding, not BMX, not freestyle motor cross; the blading community. And by the analytics, the obvious choice would be to remove rollerblading from the equation to improve their product. From a business standpoint, that all makes sense. We have literally ruined every opportunity that has been presented to us; both past and present. When are we just going to get on with it?"

Some of the worst offenders though are the ones that come on Blade Trade looking for stuff that JUST came out trying to get it cheaper, or worse yet, when people are trying to buy used wheels! Most of us left in the game are older now, and can afford new stuff, so we should be supporting the industry when we can!

But on initial observation the first thing that strikes me is just how many technical Innovations it has: ones that some skates even today haven't managed to get right - and this skate is 15 years old! While I see what you're saying I think, when it comes to Salomons specifically, the reason why people still stockpile them and skate them is because they really are that good.

Hi Ricardo, love your videos. While I generally do not agree with you on this subject. I can understand where you’re coming from and appreciate you offering a forum to talk about things like this. I think a lot of people have already hit the nail on the head as far as the actual effect of buying used skates in general and why one would even consider buying used over new. I have never purchased a pair of used Salomons but I did buy my ST-9s brand new back in 1998 and they are still great skates today. They need new liners and a new heel pad but otherwise they are awesome. I have however bought many other more current used skates as well as brand new Valo Light BS.2s. Why? It was new technology and the skates looked super fresh. The last pair of new skates I bought before then was the old JJ1 Valo in Khaki. I loved the way they looked. Other than that, I have not bought brand new skates simply because I didn’t see a reason to. I wouldn’t say that most aggressive skaters are poor, but a whole lot of us are older now and have families. So for me, it’s difficult to warrant splurging on myself every time I want a newer pair of blades instead of spending that money on my family. Instead, I support by buying wheels, bearings, frames, clothes, VODs and attend every event I can when they are local. I have spent far more money on inline accessories and apparel than I ever have on skates combined, be it used or new. So maybe the key here is for companies to get back into selling more accessories that more people can easily support, more frequently than buying new pairs of blades every season. I remember when skate shops were flooded with blade apparel and accessories like backpacks and wallets. You don’t see that often enough anymore.

I bought the kaltik V2 frames and I didn't like them, now I've just bought the new medium Oysi to try. And there's other things too. What I'm getting at is I imagine alot of people that have Salomons are enthusiasts like yourself who put alot of time and money into skating. Apart from a couple of stubborn people who will only skate Salomons, but they will die out eventually. Take it easy ✌️

I remember the first time seeing the skate. Matt Andrews was skating them before they were out. At the time I was am, but I called up Aaron and he gave me the blue sample skates. There was a Florida pro that also road for them but got arrested for stabbing a skateboarder, and got kicked off. I loved them because I could do bigger gaps with no pain. The industry got weird. Gap clothing and companies that had nothing to do with skating sponsored pros. Hell I road for Fossil watches, They started FSL (Fossil skate line). The XGames hated that rollerbladers were getting paid and skateboarders kinda had a drop. Now most of Xgames at that time where ran by skateboarders, and the rollerbladers wouldn't stop drinking and smoking pot in the crowd. They screwed them selves. After that crap I ended up on razors and touring a lot. I hated it, I didn't get paid much and had to do demos and pass out stickers and shirts. They hated me because I wouldn't move to Cali. I realized that almost everyone wasn't getting paid, and a teammate and myself had to sale our own skates at demos just to eat. When razors found out they suspended us, whatever that means. It wasn't for the skaters, it was for someone to get rich. They ripped off Kato, and it was crap. I left the tour and took a flight out. When I came back, I was lost. I hated the industry, and it was just no fun. Shima was riding for them and I had to talk to him about what happened. All the money went to him, and the rest of us starved. Not cool, but whatever. I would work for Woodward and got on rollerblade. Franky and Alex got me on and then they screwed everyone over. They made enough money for them but not for the riders and wouldn't pay. It just wasn't any fun anymore, after breaking myself to land tricks. I just wanted to be able to walk when I'm older. Now seeing Jon do it the right way, and seeing 5050 back. It makes me want to pick up the hobby again. Spend your money on the people who deserve it. He went risking everything for the guys who want someone by there side. Jon has always been that guy. He even named the company them, because that's who it's for. If you skate you're one of them.

I had a Salomon Deemax for 13 years until now. Recently I found out that my feet somewhat expanded with age and skating became too painful. Because they were the best FSK, virtually indestructible and very comfortable. I even tried to put my Salomon liners into new skates - didn't work, still felt tight. But after all Salomon didn't quit in 99, they were up until 2007 or 2008.

I recently picked up a pair of Salomons, (st90 2). I couldn't afford these as a kid, when I originally started inline. I knew how high-end they used to be and had wondered if they were still around. It IS a quality skate. Also, people who are selling old skates that don't exist anymore, are keeping inline alive, too. I was nearly discouraged by the prices of new inline skates. I almost didn't buy any until I found some on a buy/sell page. It could easily be the same story for a local skate shop that would sell used skates. They would be keep it alive and gain the financial benefit of selling them, too. Now, I am more into skating and watching even more skating content on YT. Yours for sure. First, we gotta get people to start skating. That, and people like exclusive things. When I'm at the skate park, I have blades "no one's ever seen before". It's cool

If everyone that bought Salomons last year instead bought new skates and those purchases were spread evenly among current boot producing companies, those companies would still struggle to make any profit in the aggressive market. It is ridiculous to infer that if this were to occur there would magically be enough money for pros to make a salary to live on and not struggle to get by. It is a numbers game. With the low participation numbers we are actually spoiled by the number of choices we have. The demand is simply not there. Some companies will have to die for others to survive. That will only change with an increase in participation.

Lino, you're killing the industry by owning that Salomon boot! (Kidding) Look, I'm kind of a USD fanboy myself, so from one powerslide fan to another, maybe modern brands need to step up and make something that can compete with a 20 year old boot. I know a lot of people think it's weird that USD has five aggressive boots (six when Shadow comes out) and they all seem to fall apart. Why not scrap 3 and invest in quality materials for the remaining models? I'll take the threat of hand me down salomon boots seriously when USD only has the money to pour one boot.

I think my first pair of skates were oxygen that I picked up at sportchek, there wasn’t any stores that carried aggressive skates near me so this was my only option. They were terrible but all I could get, I eventually found AM online and picked up razors genesis 4’s and what sucked was I bought the biggest skates they carried and my toes were crammed. It’s hard to spend over $300 on skates online and hope they fit my feet. I’m a size 12 shoe, I’m leaning towards the razors sl’s or the usd aeons. The usd might be too small but the sl’s come in a 13, I’d like to get back into skating. Love your reviews on skates 👊🏼

It's better for the environment and puts money in someone else who skates pocket. Fuck throwing away functional skates or putting them on the shelf if somone can be out there skating them. I'm not hating on the idea of their being an industry. Support what you want, skate what you want. If you want to skate salos go do it. Go enjoy skating.

All i see in those skates is nostalgia, people buying them just for the sake of having them, to collect, idk, and i bet most of them have newer stuff too, support newer products, buy merch or other things like VODs etc..... I don't really agree that's one big reason to "kill the industry".....lack of sponsorship, lack of visibility like event being broadcast in tv, lack of interest from outsiders, there are way more reasons for the current struggle rather than people buying Salomon skates or even regular, second hand skates... And speaking about second hand skates in a broader perspective, i prefer buying second hand skates because here in Brazil, newer skates are overpriced as hell, it's almost theft. Like those new Eugen Carbons. I want them....i really do, but they cost 2x the minimum wage from here.....those 3 wheel trendy Taus, Swell or even a Twister Edge? hahahahah they are waaaay to expensive for me.... Adapts? Good luck importing those and paying 3x their regular, already expensive price.

Because the same logic applies to it too....well, sort of .....because even if i buy an used Eugen Carbon Frees, for example, the brand lost a purchase there.....well, you get the idea. And by focusing on the second hand market, the video would have been better received too. Either way, it was an interesting video that sparkled an interesting discussion, thank you.

It’s not taking anything way if you consider the business it brings to the aftermarket side of the industry. To set up the skates again for use you might need new frames, wheels, bearings, liners, buckles and I’m sure there are more I’m not thinking of. If anything it is juicing up the industry

Success in capitalism is based on industries fulfilling actual individual consumer demand, not consumers rallying together to support industries. So if an industry it's failing, it's usually a sign that it's no longer needed by consumers (or needs to change somehow to become needed again). If consumers prefer old products over new ones, that's also telling you something about the industry's shape and value propositions.

I think we need to get blading back in front of people in the US. This will help the industry a lot more. For instance get our pros back in the x games. In order to do that we need some bigger companies like k2, rollerblade, razor, and USD to be added as sponsors. Thats the real way they'll get sales. Force it back into the faces of everyone and make some sales, that way they could drop the prices and get more mass production for it to be like how it used to. Thats how business works. That's how we'll get our industry back to where it was. It needs to be in the public eye.

Never liked salos, however, I think they are best looking skates to ever come out. I hope somebody jacks the silhouette and creates pretty much a copy of that boot. I actually think there is a couple boots now that you can buy brand new that have a similar look, USD carbons have that rounded shape like salos did, and THEM is doing some of the same color ways, even though THEM don't look like salos, they have that brown color way that is the same shade of brown as the ones you're holding here. I didn't like them though, I had 2 pairs back in the day... Vinny Minton pro model and some blue team ones... Neither did it for me, they felt very weird to me. I ended up selling both pairs, I really tried to like them because the way they looked, but I couldn't get used to how they felt on foot, even tried different liners. I think a lot of skates now are better and have just as good if not better quality. If salo wants to come back into rollerblading that would be great though. I don't think they ever will.

They will have to choose modern skates when old plastic on their Salomons will be soft like a gum.

well, why something can be said to support less shit companies, buying used products is generally a good idea. buying used great products, that last longer than new stuff, is even a better idea. i don't know how screwed up the aggressive skate industry is, BUT I KNOW, that the inline downhill industry is a screwed up place. what are some of the best most wanted inline downhill skates on the market? the rossignol descender! what old is that skate by now? i don't even know 20 years? another heavily looked for and wanted skate is the technica ct7. current boots years after both of those released are rightfully seen as inferior, even lower quality too as the rossignol descender has metal buckles for example. the same applies at least partially to frames for downhill, where the mogema m55 84 version 2 is still seen as maybe the best 5x 84 mm frame on the market and a lot of downhill rides still use those and that frame is also super old and hasn't been produced for ages. hell the rossignol theoretically interesting dh 350 frame uses some cheap ass garbage 6061 aluminium instead of 7075 or stronger aluminium, which also seems on face value as a downgrade in quality. part of the problem for downhill is of course, that it is a fraction of the aggressive market, but i know the downhill market and the hell of trying to get useless products in it a lot better, so the same might at least apply partially to the aggresive market. maybe manufacturers aren't producing things with the same feel as the old reliable stuff? maybe their prices are stupidly high? also u owe nothing to a company, if u researched the company and want to support them by buying a product sure, but if u want to do something for the community, then do something for the community, instead of throwing out the idea, that one needs to throw money at an industry to support a support. get a local skating community together, or bring awareness to people for an already existing one. fix up equipment in an open access skate bark, that is indoor or outdoor or both, or get the community to fix things up, all of those support the community, not throwing money at an industry, so that maybe the industry will give more money, to those that get sponsored by them... hell u could even give your money directly to a pro skater, if u really wanted to support them for some reason, would certainly make more sense, than what u were suggesting here 2 years ago.

I don't either because not everyone can afford new skates. Any used skates sold equals another person skating. the ultimate goal is to get people skating. once they break the used skates, they will probably buy another pair of skates. This is the same B.S. that Apple is trying to tell people. They want everyone to believe that it is a security issue for you to buy a used iPhone. If the phone is compromised, it should be fixed regardless of it being owned first hand or second hand. Final comment on this. I can buy a complete set of Solomon Skates for $150 on Ebay with intuition liners. I can't buy a boot only for that. Maybe that is the problem.

It´s more about the public image of rollerblading than people buying second hand skates. How many people actually buy salomons?? I don´t think is a significant number to take away from new skates sales. The reason why blading is "dying" is because nobody wants to be called names when they go to the skatepark. Rollerblading is seen as the bastard child of skateboarding, as the sport that has no roots, that copied everyone else. This is why there is no money in the sport. Because NOBODY wants to be a rollerblader. Because we don´t have the cool skaters or the people who inspired others to became rollerbladers. We don´t have the Angie Waltons or Arlos. That´s why our industry is "dying". Nobody does anything to change the public image of rollerblading. As long as we are seen like this, nothing will ever change. PERIOD
