I don't think I've been this excited about a skate release in forever.

I was like a kid at Christmas opening these yesterday.

This is the Flying Eagle Heron SF60 and SF60 Pro skate.

It's the first go, proper go, that Flying Eagle have had at an aggressive

skate. They made one before. It was a bit rubbish, but I don't think they were

trying. So this is them making all new parts and having a really good go at it.

And spoiler alert, I think these are really...

really special so i'm going to go skating on these a little bit later on

we'll report back later in the video about how that went but let's just go

over the spec of the skates there's a lot to say about these so two models

what the difference is between them well this is the lower end model i really

like the white and the black one actually i i think i prefer it i like

the the contrast i like the lines on it the way you can see the lines better

that is going to be 200 pounds uk

and this one here is about 280 pounds UK to be confirmed and we worked with

Kenneth Dedue on the design of that frame just before he went to work for

Flying Eagle and created this frame so it's come kind of from the same place

and yeah this is kind of exactly how I would have wanted it to be to be honest

it's got a raised heel in there but also a sole frame and the one thing I really

wanted with our sole frame

was this perfect proportion thing where the the side of the frame there hits the

ground at the same time as the sole plate with the wheel being just a

millimeter off the ground so it makes it perfect for set slides and i'm surprised

no one's done this before it was something i was really keen on having

and i'm so glad that somebody's done it where we couldn't and um yeah i just

can't wait to do some slides on them i think that'll be really good for grinds

as well obviously it protects the wheels

better from grinds on ledges like that as well so really really excited

and we'll find out about royales in a little bit when i go skating because

that's if you know me on the channel you know i'm big on like how a royale will

feel on a skate and that'll be a make it or break it kind of thing for me let's

move on to the boot so the boot love the silhouette love the lines here it's not

just an aesthetic thing these lines the plastic goes from thick to less thick to

thin like this and that's so that the laces the top of the boot with the laces

can be pulled down right over your foot that plastic is really thin on top so

you can really tighten it over your over your foot and yeah it gets gradually

thicker as it goes down so nice and solid on the bottom of the skate really

like that they're not the first people to do that i'm sure i'm sure that this

is like an intuition liner get in the comments like what do you think about

companies do you think that's that's okay to like just kind of signal that's

what we're trying to do we're trying to make that category of liner or do you

think it's like they're doing a bootleg and they should just kind of be a bit

more unique in their branding the problem is if they're more unique with

it then it makes it really hard for the customer to know that that is a really

high-end premium liner that's kind of a surefire way of letting the customer

know is by doing this kind of colorway to make it look like a an intuition

liner but i don't know what do you guys think i don't i guess that's a point of

discussion either way that liner it does have this

uh it's not it is not quite the same as an intuition liner i guess it feels a

little thicker around the edges the tongue isn't quite as shaped but it does

feel really high quality high density low volume and like a really precise

line it's exactly what you'd expect it it will perform in a similar way to an

intuition liner where it's just like it's so dense the foam and trying these

on side by side with the for the time being i'm going to go and have a little

skate on them

and then report back can you film my first royale please

oh no

okay second royale it

needs a little bit of braking on the curb yeah it looks a bit shallow yeah it

was shallow yeah oh it feels good but um

they're definitely really hard the sole hopefully we'll get some royales done

quick spin around the skate park see how they roll

okay

so yeah the royale does feel pretty set in now that i've grooved it in and uh

the sole kit sole frame

He's really fast. It's definitely really fast. Quick backslide test.

So yeah, feeling good on the backslide. Solid.

Okay, Royale on a square ledge. Test that wheel split.

Do you know what? I didn't do that very well.

And I did stick a little bit on the front, so it's not completely immune.

Obviously, if you do it perfect, it's going to do it.

than any frame would still it gives you that kind of peace of mind when you're

feeling a bit timid about your groove tricks

fine

eagle okay the reason why i

was using a mesmer thrown in that last shot is because it's my kind of baseline

standard for a skate that i think is really good a skate i really like and

you notice that the stomp on the flying eagle sounded just as good as the stomp

on the mesmer throne skate and that's a stompy skate so past the stomp test

and about this royale stuff i know i'm fixating a little bit on this royale

position and it probably doesn't apply to most people a lot of people probably

don't care

I will see my foot over doing grind tricks these days at this age.

And so this is, I know I keep saying this on the channel. Every time I review

a pair of skates, I go, ah, it's amazing. I'm going to skate that skate.

I really, really feel strongly about this one.

I'm definitely going to be carrying on skating this skate.

Obviously I only review skates on the channel that I like anyway. So it goes

without saying that I probably, I mean.

going to end up liking a lot of skates but i really really really really liked

this skate so um i'm totally bought into it and the thing is is this one here

which i think is the better buy the lower priced one is only 200 pounds um

obviously the higher end one is just a different feeling with that liner and

some people will like that um different feeling and then the other components

like i said

that are lower end on this one don't really matter laces cuff bolts buckles

like who cares so for 200 pounds i think a lot of people are gonna like really

like this skate um i think it's going to be the new go-to when someone walks in

the shop and says oh i want to get a pair of aggressive skates and i don't

really know what previously that was the usd ion and it still will be the usd ion

for a lot of people because it's such a great skate as well but i think this is

here to compete

at that end of the market with that usd basic aeon boot it's a little bit

cheaper now that i and basics 220 230 now this is 200 and it's got advantages

this whole frame being harder the flex being being better and the cuff being

better i think so um yeah watch out usd i am basic i um i've only got

good things to say about these so you can pre-order these we're going to fly

Some of these in because I want to get them quickly.

So we're going to fly them in from China So do pre-order
