I never thought I would see the day! Great to see you trying all aspect of inline skating!

Bill Stoppard doing aggressive skating? Whaaaat?

Just a note on the Aeon 80s. The bigger the shell the more forgiving the groove tricks are. Because the size of the Wheel stays the same, when the frame shortens the h-blocks shrinks quite a bit, while on the larger sizes you have something more to work with. Royals in the Aeon 80s are much harder to do because of the height of the frame, but they are not impossible of course. Learning to royal in the Aeon 80s makes your royals better overall and forces you to have correct technique. Overall, I think the Aeon 80 is absolutely incredible and is one of my favorite skates.

Yes! I get most of my skates from Inline Warehouse. Careful Bill, skate parks are very addictive in a humbling kind of way! I know you won't abandon the streets. It's good to make use of indoor parks in the Canadian winters!

its almost as satisfying watching somebody elses new-skate day as it is to have my own

80mm aggressive skates! The solution to all of my complaints my old aggressive skates of being slow and less fun for anything other than grinding. Mind blown!

2:32 Power Stoppable? YES! Also congrats on the Inline Warehouse Sponsorship!

So happy to see you try something new and doing aggressive. I love aeons, I have the 60mm. Definitely practice camera free at first. Look forward to seeing your progress

I've had my 80s for a few months now and I absolutely love them. They are my fave skates. I put some blue superfoot footbeds in them and that was the tweak. I put them under the liner and wow what a difference. I didn't heat mold them I jut wear them every chance I get. lol I'm not an aggressive skater, still just learning and having fun. but soon. lol

thats so awesome that u got sponsored by inlinewarehouse!! awesome skating!

always liked the look of the Aeons. i fancy some of these 80's

Great to see you on aggressive. I love that you try everything and type of skating. I would imagine a royale would be pretty hard in those 80's.

Great video! I’m excited to get my aeon 80s this week; I ordered them from the same place. And I feel the same cagey, overwhelmed feeling as you when skating in crowded parks! Glad I’m not the only one 😌

Hey those look great! 80 mm wheels makes all the difference coming from city skating, makes so much sense!

NIIICE! I've got the Aeon 72 and they're really nice. I find the toebox a little bit shallow but a few minutes with a hot air gun and thick socks fixed them right up. Can't wait to see you hit the streets in them once the snow melts! the 72's do bottom out a bit easy, you made a good choice getting the 80's. that grind plate though, not a lot of room for error there.

That dog has the same personality as Bill when he's out skating in the city 🤣

Been riding the Aeon 60's now for a few months and I'm in love with mine. Great to see you on an aggressive setup. Now I need to try my hand on a Freeskate setup.

I am SO stoked to see you in these, and congrats on the IW sponsorship

Nice! I haven't skated for a while because I live in the sticks and work in a small town with not many good places to skate, but this has inspired me to get back into it anyway. Well, once it stops raining at least ;)

Well Bill...I''m following your lead and have ordered a pair of the Aeon 80's. Still waiting for delivery to Taiwan. No lockdown here...so far...so I will be checking out the skate park as soon and they come. It's my BD this month so this was a little treat for me. Really excited and can't wait to try out the mighty 80's!

I have the Aeon 80's too. They are amazing!!!!

Bill, really happy to hear about this on two counts. When I saw you in Philly I had been using my standard powerslide imperials, which are nice, but not a premium boot. Additionally, I hadn't been doing any aggressive skating. Since then, I've gotten a build based on the Carbon Team II's which I've since fallen in love with, and these are my first carbon boots and like you I've recently started getting into aggressive skating and try hitting the park nearby regularly. I got them from Inline Warehouse as with all of my skate related gear so far and I have been so pleased with them. It's awesome you're able to work with them now. Cheers.

Now that's a good guard dog. He's ripped and I wouldn't wanna mess with him! Sweet skates too

I have been waiting for this moment all my life.

I was looking at the Aeon 80 since I got aeon 60, that are my favorite skates for the skatepark. 80s look like the best aggressive-city skate option. Looking forwards to more videos you riding them. Thanks!

Yes! These look amazing and they're exactly what I am in the mood for. I can see me donning a set in the future.

Awesome Bill. Lots of folks are going to be pumped to watch this journey.

Wow! A skatepark! Finally! 🙂 That's going to be fun to watch. I like where it is going...

Great to see you on aggressive. Feel like those skates were made for you.

Freaking awesome, those skates are beautiful, thanks for another great video

Pardon my language. But I've been eyef*cking these skates since they came out. I'm still trying to save up for them. =/ cool to see you were dying to get them aswell!!! =))

I love Inline Warehouse!

Those frames should measure up 265m, so a touch longer than a 4*84 and shorter than 4*90, but lower than a regular 4*80 (longer for larger sizes i think) - pretty much why i got them. was really enjoying my 4*80 pb setup but found it a bit twisty on ramps....shamefully i've yet to give em a proper thrashing in a park though, just city! i'd recommend em.

They look nice! Wow, badass Bill on agressives🔥

Thanx for the review... really 2 want to try these even more after seeing yr video... keep it up!👍😁

With Spring around the corner, interested in seeing you city skate with the Aeon 80s.

I know I'm supposed to look at the skates but the graf is back ground is great! There was even a Bodé!!

Wasn't even in the market, but this video SOLD me, man. Bought a pair on back order last night.

really want to see you skating more parks. you should hit up some outdoor parks with pump tracks and more speed/flow oriented layouts. indoor wooden parks are too often purely trick based with quite simple "quarter pipe leading to box" layouts. also catching a park when its quiet/empty is key to enjoying them.

Glad to see these skates getting love still, i've been waiting and waiting to buy them for 2+ years

The beast in action! Great job!

Aggressive skating is fun when you unlock new park features or create a new line!

Great outro with the "I wanna level up" Your best upload so far! 💪🤜🤛☝️👏

Great videos. Love the way you talk!!!

leveling up is always a good thing in aeon 80s. happy you like em!

Inspirational, man. These skates are incredibly sick, too. Think I'm finally gonna replace my decades-old Oyxgens.

dammit, I knew your take on these would make me wonder whether they should be my next skates...

Always Nice, in the city or aggressive style! tks for share =)

Bro you are legit my way to go Damn salutes!

Rad! I bought my son some Aeon 72mm. I’d like a pair but I can’t find them in size 13-14.

I've just got the Aeon basic 60s. Love them in the skate park, but playing games etc indoors where I work is much harder on these than my 80s or 100s. Like you said, the powerslide/stop is tough. If you lean your foot too much you're on the boot... and that means sliiideeee! Good stuff Bill, maybe I'll try these skates some day as they could be a great inbetween aggressive and urban. Although the grind plate on those is tiny compared to mine.

I LOOOOOOVE Inline Warehouse. I’ve been ordering my skates and skate gear from them for years. Kinda sad that they discontinued the 15% iWin discount program recently, but still a great skate site nonetheless. Might pick up a pair of the new all-Black 80mm Powerslide Next skates soon.

I always wondered why other companies don't embrace the all black look (like Aeons, Adapts, Seba, etc.)

Very cool, Bill! At 37, I've decided I'm not quite broken enough yet, and I bought a pair of Aeon60s to learn aggressive from scratch after about 2 years of urban/freestyle skating. The Aeon is an amazing boot. I found the liners on the basic 60 to be a bit lacking in forward-flex support - my ankles are kinda wrecked and need a good stiff tongue I can lean my shins into into without hyper-dorsiflexing my ankles (My Unnaturals do this very well, but that's my bigwheel setup) - I found that replacing them with Reign V3-Vcut liners were a huge improvement in that regard, and the way the v-cut of the cuff matches the cuff of the Aeon is like it was made specifically for it. I recently also bought a pair of FR1 Deluxe skates, and had to try out the Intuition liners in my Aeons, but I decided I actually liked the Reigns better in my Aeons anyway. Yeah, that single-piece lower means lower ride heights than even many 165mm setups, and better power transfer. I really like the Aeon, both in concept (a no-compromises approach to making the best flat setup out there), and execution. I was considering about the Aeon 80, but decided that since this was pretty much going to be a pure park setup, that the smaller wheels and bigger grind block would be better to learn on. Still gonna be harder than on an anti-rocker setup, probably, though. Man I wish I had an indoor park closer than an hour's drive away... There's the Woodward in Tahoe, but that's like $50/3hr session, and they're closed on my days off...

Amazing vids. Cheers & Respect✌️

HE'S CAUGHT THE BUG! That was a solid run, can't wait to see that Royale in full.

well how about that. i got a pair o those!! the secondary shock pad seemed like an afterthought, the ample forward flex made trotting down stairs very easy and the ride was surprisingly harsh (/reassuringly stiff) for city skating...at least at first. bloody good though. nice and light too. oh and the 45 buckle seems way flimsier than the one on my imperials, but functions well enough...

I Knew it i love the look & concept of these beautiful looking skates! Way to get out & dish out some skill points into Aggressive! LIT vid 4 sure

Damnit, Aeon 80 never crossed my mind, but now that I think about it, if anyone can make the most out of those skates it should be you. Not a lot of people skate those, most aggressive skaters tend to find the frame non grindable, and street skaters don't even look at a >200€, one piece aggressive skate. I'd love to try them out. Big wheel aggressive reminds me of what we used to do on the first half of the 90's, when skating was still actually part of the equation...

You look like Arnold Schwarzenegger stole your sons Turboman! Lol Great video! I can't wait to get mine in. That one piece construction seems interesting.

Btw your new camera is super awesome.

Sweet! Nice video and damn you make that IW shirt look good. I don't fill mine out quite as well.

love that you are doing agggressive now too. I an curious what the Aeons are like when you tryu them out more often, compared to regular aggressive skates.

Wow! Los tengo, son increibles! Saludos desde Galicia

Didn't guess that at all. I can see the logic in it. Will we see you grinding some railings on your travels. all the best.

Planning on getting the 60, great video btw

Hell yeah. Agressive inlineing!!

Those look fantastic. I wanted the USC 80s but they didnt have any in stock

"walking like a dork", how I feel that. Today it was supposed to be raining hard all day, so I put shoes on to come visit my mom; my dog walked all the way looking at me like I was insane or trying to piss her off...😅 Luckily I have my wheels in the backpack for later 😎

Hell yeah bill

4:32 I think you mean "frontside", that's the grind you seem to be trying in that clip. Doing a royale with these frames is incredibly hard. Also I'm impressed you can do that in a frame with such relatively bad wheel clearance. I can't do that on my aggressive frames set up flat

Even your dog is excited about your new skates.

Amazing with you I’m coming back to skating after seven years I think I love the look of these have been recommended by loads of people to go I don’t want to go aggressive just yet would it be really really stupid or just not doable to put A break on the right foot just till I get used to stopping again as I spin out every single time I power stop.

great video. PLS show how to setup hockey skates for street , freestyle skating (detailed....). Is that a good idea or what?

Great skate. Try. Razors sl with flat frames! They are best for grinding

Inline warehouse?! That's where I bought skates before.

This is exciting! I hope you'll reach out to the Shop Task guys and the rest of the local aggressive skaters for some grinding tips. You're doing well with the makio already, and damn you've got some balls trying royales right off the bat in that skate! What 360 cam are you using? I'm not digging all the blur/smear at the edges of the frame.

Bill, I wish you would visit Munich. I'd show you the city and you could show me how to ride stairs and backwards.

Yes

Let us know how those spinner wheels fare. I have the 90s and 3 of the 6 have cracked, 2 of which the spokes broke entirely. Slalom only with a 3 x 90 setup, nothing crazy. Maybe the 80s will be different?

Never really liked your videos, always respected them but never really liked them but this one... I totally feel you on the skate park vibe. As a 37 year old skater, ex hockey and street aggressive when I was 13-17 the skate park is just not for me 😂 keep up the good work broski

Nice helmet! Nice skates. Go Powerslide!

Maybe put some 76’s upfront and back to get a nice banana rocker and add some extra excitement to the package.

FINALLY

Nice video! But please chill with the brickwall limiter on the audio. Almost blew my speakers :D

hey id love to skate with you sometime. CJ's is such a fun park!

This was technically a good review.

Bro your a monster. Please do Moe follow up aeon80 vids. Your keeping me sane during covid.

How fast would you it is to commute on roller blades? Let's say you're not pushin yourself too hard and you're goin from the bk bridge to midtown - how long might that take an experienced blader? A novice blader? I'm curious because I bike everywhere but some place I'm gonna start working might not let me leave my bike inside so I'm wondering what might be the next fastest, cheapest, and most fun option. Or if you could possibly give a pretty standard/common speed and what amount of effort it might take you to go that speed, that might help too

How did you make the stick translucent, wrap it in green and edit it out like green screen?

Dexter is the best

Can anyone recommend the right skate size for a 9 - 9.5 shoe, UK. Would I need to get the 10-11 dual size?

Hii bill.. Love from malaysia.. What camera do u use?

whats your recommendation for heat molding these?

Hey do y'all think hockey skates would do fine city skating when you're a decent skater?

Ok dexter

I wanna know if this is actually capable as a city skate

Hi: how is the fit? Do they run small or big? Thank you

Hmm I cant decide 72 or 80 mm ??? Why they dont put 80/72 mm grindwheels in the middle?

This may sound like a dumb question, but can these tackle stairs?
