Brandon, seeing that kid's joy made my day. You're a good man!

Super excited for Mally getting a fresh pair for vert. Looking forward to the stream and more content from both of you.

Mate, you're a legend. What an awesome thing to do ❤️

I grew up watching him and his brother skate vert, incredibly talented. Some of the greatest vert skating talent in general not just in rollerblading. really dope USD hooked him up, these look great. And big up to you for hooking him up.

Hey just wanted to throw out. This is technically his second. Him and his brother shared a pro skate from K2.

While I was really eager to hear your thoughts on this skate, it's even cooler that you were able to give them to Malachi. He's killing it in them.

So cool that you were able to hook him up with those. Great job!!!

This is super heart warming contact Brandon great stuff Brother

Look at Brandon Helping a little skater❤❤❤

So sick that lil bro gets to rock those skates and keep on killing it

Thanks, Brandon - Mally is still blown away by the skates every time he puts them on [so the Invisible Sky Fairy smiles on your - and Powerslide's -generosity]. The only other thing that would make Mally's life complete at this point - with respect to the skates - would be to have the great one himself, comment on how Mally's using them - having vert skates are cool, having the pro vert skate of your skating idol...beyond words. It's been just over a month since you gave hem to him and the progress has been relatively spectacular. As you said, he won Nationals -and he was pretty disappointed with how he skated - but over-and-above that, he's acquired a lot more control and power [maybe he is putting on weight? :) ] and his airs are starting to get bigger... only criticism, if any, is that the skate doesn't grind easily... although wax is, very definitely, your friend.

Great video and great skating! I also have a pair of those (in addition to a pair of Aeon 60). They're great and a significant improvement compared to a more basic Aeon model. They are crazy light and crazy fast! Still, I agree that the 45 deg buckles stick out of much. On mine, the strap for the right buckle was even one size bigger. Had to cut a few centimeters off to not be annoyed when doing grabs.

Love my Takashi Aeons! Removed the 45 buckle and ride Mushroom Blading 72's or 65's depending on if I'm Wizarding around or hitting the park. They are great for switching up between my Aeon 60's to feel something different/faster or just training myself to get nasty low on Royals, haha.

I skate vert with these, I love them, I did have to heat mould the liner, and I definitely get more speed and distance out of a pump.

Glad the legend himself got this pro skate

Good guy Brandon

U should get yourself a pair of the right size and review them bro! Asap!

4:03 Malakai, you're not helping! hahaha

Wow! So cool! It’s like it was meant to be! This kid rocks dude 🤘 I love vert ❤ , now give us a 540 FlatSpin 👐👽

Go mally!!

Was is it just me or did i just notice a hint of jealousy in that "wow" at the end ?

Vert Skater skates better with vert skates? What a surprise! 🤣🤘.. Nice one on handing down the skates to somebody who's going to shred the vert. Good move Brandon😎

Those 68mm wheels are slow and a mate broke one in a few sessions, upgrade to 68mm metal core 💯🙌

👏👏

tah-keh-shee

I am firmly in the elastic lace gang

I have had a pair for 3 months. I agree that the 68 wheels are a whole lot better and faster than my street 60 wheels when hitting the vert. I found the Aeons too flexi when I first got them. But recently took the top laces out and ran the boot laces through the boot and liner. This made the skate so much more comfortable, responsive and cleaner and easier. And reduced the forward flex a little. I highly rate the skate.

MMAAANE POOR KID. 15 PAIRS!

I think Aeons and Mesmers have the worst cuffs I've ever seen. Aeons are so fast tho and very comfortable imo.

Lol why are both you and biz calling him Tekashi? Is this some meme now? It's clearly Takeshi, and Japanese words/names are always spelled phonetically.

It’s great to see you supporting the younger generation B 🫡. They are the future of blading for sure 😊
