One Day on Echo Skates - Echo Verve Versus Six Skate Spots
Спорт
I skated the Echo Verve for an entire day at various locations in order to give it a thorough workout and see if it could handle the damage inflicted on it by a 14 stone, or 90kg, rollerblader. I skated six spots over the course of 7.5 hours, captured over 60 tricks on camera, not to mention a few falls. I also talk about various aspects of the skate, things I like and don't like, as well as pondering Echo Skates' place in the aggressive market and community.
Let me know what you think of this format and if you would like to see more videos in this style in the future.

You are not lying. He did a nice variety of grinds and held them well. I'd be done after that.
Solid solid tricks! Your reviews are the best cause they come from somebody that can skate for real and have skated a lot of different brands. Good stuff!
Love the doggo content.
Dug this format hard 👊🏼 yand, your dog is awesome ❤

i think im definitely in the minority of people that absolutely love the green/purple colourway, but i dont think i'd like them if it was just the green boot, the purple is for sure necessary for it to work

Green and purple is a sick colour combo. Maybe that's because I love transformers and especially the constructicons 😅

Dougal is the ultimate session dog, although he does sometimes like to snake people...and eat the wax if someone leaves it lying around. He has also been known to steal a water bottle now and again. Actually, he's a bit of a nuisance!
I can't decide if I like them or not. The look down isn't great. Reminds me of my first ever pair of aggressive skates from Argos. I'm not a THEM loyalist by any means. But I can't help but feel they've looked at THEM , Myfit and gone slap bang that will do .

The liner is kinda unreal. It never gets wet and I don't know how! I skated in it all day and every time I put them on at the next spot they were dry.
A 200 dollar skate should not resemble a 550 skate.. let the Them fan bois cry 😂😂.. solid review btw
👌🏻👌🏻 Love how you talk nice to yourself when you dont land tricks.

Dave, how much forward flex got these compared to the Sways (which have notoriously loads of forward flex imo)? And would the fact that these are a bit big for you be of influence on that?
@wheelsceneblading
Ай бұрын
That's a tough one to call. The plastic on the Echo Sway is definitely softer than the USD Sway plastic. However, I wasn't aware of any notable forward flex when I skated them. You've got me wondering now! I may need to report back on that one!
