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.

    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 .

    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

    @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!
