Wow.. Amazing. Your dedication to that Top Acid was admirable. So I tried counting and it took you 51 tries until your first real locked in Top Acid. And then you did about 7 or so more after that. That is incredible! I usually stop trying the same trick I’d say around the twenties before I move on. Your tenacity is stalwart! Thanks again for taking a lot of time and sweat to rock some blades a lot of us are interested in and giving an experienced wisdom filled review. See you next video!

landing all those grinds even made the subtitles applaud ( 4:07 )

Man if that wasn't a consistency video, I don't know what it is. Kudos on pushing through. All your other tricks were locked on though. Thanks for sharing

You are relentless with those top acids! If I miss something 3 times, I leave it alone for that session. Some days I cant do topsides, some days I can. But it looks like you are a lot better at falling or sliding out than me.

Awesome video as always. Way to stick with it and do a few top acids in the end. I usually try and warm up doing topside tricks I am more comfortable with before throwing down a top acid or any other more challenging topside tricks. And if I get stuck on a trick, sometimes it helps me to build my confidence back up by doing some other tricks I can land. But obviously your method works! Love what you're doing.

@BacktoBlading

Thanks! I need to focus on topsides one session. Try them all a few times and see what feels right.

Law, an opinion: It seems to me that the same reason royales are easier to do in those boots, top-acids would be hard. When you locked the soul foot, you would slip out on the acid boot. But, you probably can't keep the acid foot at a shallow enough angle to keep it from sliding out. I would have a difficult time too. I think it would be true for everyone that the natural angle of the acid foot would be at a steeper angle than a natural royale angle. But, it is easier to train the flex in the Royale boot than the acid boot because of the extra flexion around the ankle.

Some days you got it other days you havent.. dont sweat it just accept that on this particular day top acid wasnt working. you can get to a point on days like that where you overthink the process and end up trying to hard. its counterproductive. Guaranteed next time you will be back on form with them without even trying. when you "try"to do something it presupposes failure. so dont "try" and do it . just do it. take the positives from the session. Some great looking soull and groove tricks. Clinical on some fo those fake tricks.. its all good. ALL THE BEST

I think the difference in the thickness of the shock absorber is what it offsetting your topside foot. Your foot is going to the same spot but because the shock absorber is thicker it's pushing your foot to an over locked position.

Back to Blading I had the same issue when I switched from the Shima 3 to the Genesis boot. Took a week or two to get all my tricks back with the Genesis boot.

How will you compare these with the cult? Soul plate is bigger on SL’s so I assume is easier to lock royale? I’m hesitating in getting the razors or the usd vii, but I think with the USD will be easier to lock royales. Keep up with the good work! Your videos inspired so many to come back on wheels!

How much do the weight? ?

When it gets to a point where you really neeed to mod many things to get the skates the way you want, it seems they are not good at all. I've seen other vídeos, where the person puts a skate and there you go... not need to mod. Perfect the way it is.

​@@olmsteed369 who'd have thought only 3 years later it's happening! The new standard is coming 🎉

You're used to high heel skates, you really dont need to arch your heel and lean in so much on Topsides in SLs, you only need to bend your ankle and arch the foot very slightly and your foot should already be where it needs to be. Also don't wax the inside of the cuff, that's just going to make them SUPER unstable (the cuffs do slip around even when tightened even if it's not visible) instead put Epoxy where the cuff and the boot meet. And for really solid slides I epoxy between the souls as well and use a heavier frame. Featherlites are possibly the weakest slowest sliding frame out there, I would much rather use 50/50's in an SL setup.

You lean forward to much on those top acids. 90% of the weight should be on your back foot. It might me scary with topsides, but it's an only way to do them stable and consistent. Try practicing fishbrain stalls, to get used to the feeling of keeping all of your weight on your topside foot - when you have fish-stalls on lock, all the topside grinds are going to be easy to master.

@BacktoBlading

Yeah, that actually got fixed a bit by swapping the shock absorber. It had a ton of forward lean, much better now
