THEM 908 FIRST RIDE Episode 54 JadRollerVlog Rollerblading
from JADRollerVlog on 13 Jun 2021

I’ve been told by a few booters that THEM 908s would probably fit me better then 909s. Well they were right.They are also lighter and more fun in my opinion. In the second part of this edit I have my first session with the 908s. I will definitely have a review coming soon!

The Ray and Jon Sessions – Episode 53 – JadRollerVlog Rollerblading
from JADRollerVlog on 5 Jun 2021

This week my childhood partner in crime “rolled” through CT dragging his boots all the way from CA to hopefully catch a session with yours truly.Ray and I share tons in common including our love for rollerblading and YO YOs. Yes YO YOs. We preformed a few times in front of actual human audiences doing the most ridiculous things we could think of with YO YOs. This included fire breathing, flips and other stunts that would make our parents question bringing us into the world. One time before school while we were waiting for the bus we were practicing backflips. We would launch each other into the flip by or frail hands and boney child like arms. Ray never let me down “safely” sending me upsidedown into the air and on to my feet. I, however, managed to confused a practice launch with the real thing and I watched in slow mo as Ray back dove to the ground, on his head, folding in 2 like a book closing the wrong way. On the surface he seemed okay but who knows how this affects his life today. Despite this he still seems to have some balanced left in his brain so we had 2 great sessions before he had to roll on to other things. This was his first time blading in about 6 months. Ray swears by his Sweet USD Carbons which he graciously let me try. They were a little big on me but still seemed fit okay. The soul plates seemed a little slow but they were very light. I have to say THEM skates have wrapped their lovely extra long laces around my heart so I’ll be sticking with my 909s and Intuition V2s I think. I haven’t seen Ray in a VERY LONG time and it was like zero time had passed. Thanks for visiting me my friend and I hope this edit brings you a smile.

Roces RL1 Ripping Fix JadRollerVlog Rollerblading
from JADRollerVlog on 25 May 2021

Lately I have been rocking the Roces RL1 liner in my THEM 909 blades. I love this liner and I truly appreciate the Research and development that went into making it. Sadly a fellow roller balder who also rides the Roces RL1 in his THEM 909s reached out to me and asked me if my tongue was ripping about half way up. He had only had his liners for 2 months like me and his tongue was tearing bad. Sure enough, one week later, my liner started to tear on the same seam. I tried glue and hand stitching with some heavier thread. Didn’t work. Then I tried Tear Aid Type A https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000K6WKNE/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_image_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Tear aid is a quick and strong fix for tears in flexy heavy duty material.It seamed to bond really well to the liners materials. However, it didn’t look very pretty despite being clear. So then I used this stuff over the tear aid – Azobur Nylon Repair Patches 3X60 inch Nylon Self Adhesive Waterproof First Aid Repair https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B088BDP2BX/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_image_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 It bonded really well to the tear aid and looked a lot better then the tear aid by itself. I would have only used the Azobur tape accept it didn’t want to bond to the material on the liner. But it did like the tear aid and the 2 seamed to make a great team. I’ll keep everyone posted to see how it holds up over time. Hopeful you don’t have this issue with your Roces RL1 Liner. But if you do, I hope this video finds its way to you and helps fix the rip. If you find something better and easier to use please let me know.DM me on Instagram if you have any questions @JadRollerVlogI know I am no where near close to being a pro sponsored rollerblader and that’s not my goal anyway. But in this video I have some thoughts on some good improvements to make this liner more durable on the second version. Hint hint if you listening Roces. RL2???

from JADRollerVlog on 12 May 2021

I’ve always wanted to learn how to Phillips 66. It’s basically a fakie 360 slightly inverted handplant over a spine on rollerblades. In this episode I landed one for the first time. Here is how I learned it. I used great tips from this video:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4MQrYrSr8x4As always special thanks to oakcityskate.comAnd thank you for all the support and subscriptions!
