I initially began this edit for Unlabelled to show all the best clips I shot during my “carrer” of videomaker in the aggressive inline skating but I just felt like I could do something cool to thank all the people who inspired me. It doesn’t mean that everyone is in the video, far from it.

So please have the pleasure to watch a part of those who are part of my lifetime on this Earth. I truly believe that the best is yet to come, I could have called that edit the 2.09€ video but “Snippets of a Blading Life” seems more cinematic #bladeordie. - Gaets Krop.

The new USD Aeon Roman Abrate Pro 68 is now available world wide!

“After skating the USD Seven for five years I wanted to try something new to help me go faster and air higher in the big parks and transitions. So I started experimenting with using 68mm wheels in the Aeon 72mm shell and quickly fell in love with this new set up. The Aeon’s unibody concept plus larger wheels allow me to maximize my energy transfer on larger transitions helping me to maintain speed in my contest runs. Using a slightly smaller wheel in the 72mm Aeon shell gives me plenty of space to still confidently do all my h-block grinds whilst slightly reducing my ride height without losing any excess speed.

I also worked with my wheel sponsor Undercover to develop the apex wheel and have included these in my set up. I selected a unique colorway, added a soft top, the new improved cuff, and of course my favorite MyFit 2nd skin liners for comfort and performance to complete my latest and fastest pro skate”. - Roman Abrate.

Few clips filmed in my local park of Gap city France! Skating my 1st USD pro skate with Kaltik frames and Undercover wheels. - Roman Abrate.

Since joining USD a few years back, Roman Abrate has always favored the USD VII Skate, so it was the obvious choice for his first Pro model. Roman reworked the VII design, adding his own personal twist on this popular model.

The glass fiber reinforced plastic is now covered with a stylish PU & real leather skin, creating additional support across the skate and adding a unique dark look of the skate. The famous VII soul plate got an update with additional side screws, strengthening the connection between boot & plate for an optimized power transfer.

The skate comes equipped with the premium MYFIT Roman Pro liner, a heat moldable liner packed to the brim with features for 100% comfort. The USD VII Roman Abrate Pro also comes stock with his black Pro KALTIK Stealth frames, a full flat set up of USD Roman Abrate 58mm 88A wheels & fast ABEC 7 bearings from WICKED.

Our premium quality aggressive skate for one of the best park skaters in the world. The new USD VII Roman Abrate Pro is OUT NOW worldwide!
