Tom Moyse Made The Most Disgusting Rollerblades

I decided to use powerslide’s website to “Build my own” USD Carbon Basic in the most repulsive colourway, simply to show that you can. If you want it, you can make it

I hear a fair few people moan about the lack of colourful rollerblades and options when it comes to skates on offer. I don’t think that is true. Even historically there have been lots of colourful aggressive rollerblades.

I talk through a few of the colourful blades we’ve had in the past and those currently on offer.

There is options out there for you. There is plenty of ways to customise your skates. Be that using this tool for USD skates, replacement parts like frames, wheels, cuffs, lace etc, using Rit Dye or modding your blades.

How much innovation do we need in aggressive rollerblading when some of the most popular skates are shells that have been round for multiple decades?

Are we really surprised by the price when companies try something new after we’ve demanded it?

It’d be amazing to have more options but for now make the most of what’s about. You’re probably best just finding a skate that fits your foot and going from there. Spotty Dog!" - Tom Moyse
