“So the real winner today was Miami because it kicked everybody’s ass. It really was almost last man standing…” - Arlo Eisenberg.*
up: Mery Munoz at the FM Invitational, 4th edition.
Miami, Florida - October 7th, 2023. In its fourth event, The FM Invitational was high energy throughout the entire day. Kicking off with the Juniors competition, then working its way through the Bladies, to the Quads, and finishing off with the Men’s competition - each event had a strong crowd cheering everyone loudly as the celebratory screams echoed throughout Skate Bird (which is the name of the park this event is held).
A lot of great skating was happening from all different directions which sometimes makes it difficult to capture every moment so it’s always recommended to check out all the other media coverage that comes out of these events to get a sense of who did what. With that being said, Chris Edwards held down the mic and kept things in order along with special guest Arlo. It was a long day and it was a fun one. Be sure to catch the next one Saturday, Oct 26th at the same location! Cheers! - butterTV.

The new USD Aeon EQT 60 stands for Equity. This is a new model specifically released to support and fund the female riders in our team. The Aeon EQT is available in our fullest size range to be accessible to all riders regardless of gender, age or ability. This new model is a continuation on from our last moves to support the female skate scene, after our initial collaboration with the Bladies brand. USD is now releasing the EQT to acknowledge and address the lack of opportunities for female riders in the blading community and allow them to have a more active role within it.
Equity stands for fairness and justice for a segment of the blade community that has long been overlooked and under supported, but can now be supported by the whole community through this skate. We hope this can be the first of many future models released to support the female riders of the brand. The royalties of this model will go directly towards funding the invaluable work of all USD’s female riders.

USD is proud to introduce the new Aeon Mery Munoz II Pro Skate. Soon available worldwide.
The best female aggressive skater in the game deserves a high-performance skate that matches her style and advanced skill level. USD is proud to release the AEON Mery Munoz II Pro 60. Based on the legendary AEON collection of aggressive skates, the skate has been upgraded to Mery’s exact specifications. With a custom Yellow/Black colorway and Mery’s 2nd Skin MYFIT liner, there is a lot to like about this pro model aggressive skate.
Signature AEON with Mery’s Custom Setup. The Aeon Mery Munoz II Pro 60 has a unibody design that combines the boot and frame into one single piece giving skaters a low center of gravity while improving stability and control. With a large central grind area and a slick soul plate, this high-performance aggressive skate allows you to grind on just about anything, including ledges, coping, rails, and more. Complete with a flat 60mm wheel setup and rolling on WICKED ABEC 9 bearings, the Aeon Mery Munoz II Pro 60 delivers a consistently fast, smooth rolling experience.
“The semi finals were skipped and the competition went straight to the finals due to time constraints. The top pros battle it out. Julien Cudot, Montre Livingston, Jimmy Cisz, Eric the Shred, Air Damon, Andrew Broom and more. - Weekend Pirate Too.
