I tried 12 aggressive skates – Ranked best to worst.
from LocoSkates on 3 Feb 2026

In the last 12 months I tried 12 aggressive skates, mostly newly released models, but which aggressive skate is best? I’ll rank my favourite skates on a tier list, best to worst. Then, for the skate of balance I’ll do a second list of skates which I think are best for the average everyday buyer (not just MY personal favourites). Tier list translated:S tier – The absolute bestA tier – Amazing B tier – Strongly recommend.C tier – Pretty good!D tier – Something a bit offF/? tier – Not for meCamera/edit/host: Jake Eley.You can find out more about (and purchase!) the skates mentioned on Locoskates, the leading website for skates:USD Aeon 60 – https://www.locoskates.com/products/usd-aeon-60-basic-skates?_pos=1&_psq=aeon+60&_ss=e&_v=1.0USD Aeon 80 – https://www.locoskates.com/products/usd-aeon-80-skates-sand?_pos=1&_psq=aeon+80&_ss=e&_v=1.0Lava Skates – https://www.locoskates.com/collections/lava-skatesMesmer Skates – https://www.locoskates.com/collections/mesmer-skatesUSD Shadow – https://www.locoskates.com/collections/usd-shadow-skatesPlaylife Rave – https://www.locoskates.com/products/playlife-rave-park-skates?_pos=1&_psq=rave&_ss=e&_v=1.0THEM Skates – https://www.locoskates.com/collections/them-skates-allStandard Omni Skates – https://www.locoskates.com/collections/standard-skates-aggressiveIqon ACT – https://www.locoskates.com/products/iqon-act-ag-team-skates-for-aggressive-skating?_pos=1&_psq=iqon+act&_ss=e&_v=1.0Faction Skates – https://www.locoskates.com/collections/faction-skates0:00 Intro01:10 Aeon 6002:30 Aeon 7203:20 Aeon 8004:30 Standard Omni05:20 Playlife Rave06:40 Lava07:50 Iqon ACT09:00 USD Shadow10:40 Faction11:47 THEM13:20 Mesmer16:55 Best for buyer list18:57 Locoskates shop

Can you REAAALLY tell the difference between the 901 and the 909
from LocoSkates on 30 Sep 2025

The Them Skates 901 model looks very similar to its predecessor the Themskates 909. The two are made from different plastic compounds though so it there ACTUALLY any discernible difference between the two skate models from one of the leading aggressive skate brands?I pitched the Pat Ridder 909 skate against the newly released (2025) Them 901 Jet Set Radio limited edition skate to see which skate flexs best, which one STOMPS the best and which one rumbles the best. I also give a general review of the Them 901 skates as a user.With Jake Eley.See all current Them Skates models here:https://www.locoskates.com/collections/them-skates-all
