All right remember october last year when i said this how far off are we from rosie’s just making skins for the skates that’s coming soon man we’ve got our answer eight months eight months it took him to put her skin on the roses just like valet did
Let’s have a look at these things whoops wrong ones do it again that’s not them one more try there you go domestic punk it’s like ordering something from wish.com it’s about as punk as an anarchy skate let’s have a look at the public reaction to these skates footballer would drop production really
I wish i had more hands so i could give them four thumbs down these are horrendous fellow are you hello Is it me you’re looking for whack they’re just trying to sell old dressed up as something new rosie’s is the king of this awful just that just awful nickel and dime la will not be supporting that trash skate that’s for sure Oh my goodness shops refusing to be like no we’re we’re not selling that man oh my goodness that’s deep that is off the big diving board at the deep end bombing it down sinking to the bottom holding your breath and stay in there mate deep no garbage the bin emoji the green face
About to be sick emoji the face being sick emoji nope gross looking skin it is kind of like one of those like fake louis vuitton purses that you might get sold on a beach imagine how hard jj laughed inside when he saw what they did there is positive ones it’s okay i
Didn’t know bobby road vallo six skates flame emoji roller skate emoji and there you go like that is somebody who actually likes the skates but they’re still making that joke too i mean that’s probably the way you should take these things shut up and take all my money
Have you er have you got 5.8 million mate i think they might need it allegedly really you bringing back the skins from a sub brand and relabeling good business right i know a lot of people are going to jump in and be like rosie’s english rosies it was always
Rosie’s the thing is yeah no matter who came up with the idea of putting a skin on an m12 whether it was julio or whether it was somebody from rosie’s they’re absolutely synonymous with valo they’re synonymous with julio valo was a huge huge period in rollerblading amazing times like that’s a massive part
Of our history now so you’re naive to think that like you could do this that’s something that is associated with them and like not get like not get backlash and like yeah like the person says i don’t think it’s the greatest business idea like it’s almost
As if you don’t have your own image or your own brand identity which is so important these days massive fans of valo will still be able to find valo’s just like solomon fans can still find solomon’s people are only going to buy these ones if they’re a fan of the design one last
One and i’m not gonna put this one on the screen for a few reasons uh so you’re gonna have to try and work it out for yourself basically the person is suggesting that they would like get rid of something private rather than put their feet in these skates
Oh my goodness goodbye my lover goodbye my friend what does domestic punk make instead of carving an anarchy sign into the wall you’ve actually got it in like a really nice frame above like the pictures of the creeks or something like that is it like if you go to work in a
Shooting map but then you’ve still got your dreadlock because you want everybody to know yeah i work for the man but i take his money i’m taking his money that’s me i’m a punk like you’ve got a cat that you’ve named him richard hell yeah hopefully there’s people out there that
Understand what that means and like it enough to have it written all over their skates if i could have anything written on a skin it’s obviously going to be crisp isn’t it there’s a video promo to go with the thing as well bobby’s take on street skating plays into his
Strengths which is obviously like park skating got a few launchers and ramps thrown in there p-rail at the beginning of one line to like make it a bit more of a line less intelligent man like know what your strengths are and go with that a little bit of amplitude in there keeps
It relatively simple but you know that’s the way to undo it intelligent edit gonna dive a lot deeper into more of this roasty stuff at the end of the video so make sure you stay around mesmer be a rowdy bunch but they’re also concerned about your summer safety
That’s why they’ve released a load of hats and these are so good look at this rock one that is superb i absolutely love it even my mum really likes this one that’s it you you smashed it with the audience covers people like me and mothers there’s loads of options in
Nourish well you’ve got this red cord number you’ve got the beanie that’s come out finally you’ve got the denim number you’ve got this grey chord number with the eyes on it farmer’s got his second sway boot looks fairly decent and i actually think the advertising’s okay on
This one as well this one’s actually better out of the shadows that makes sense man still using the mic font though this is a really interesting one and a good move loco skates have started up loco labs which is them collaborating with brands to create unique soft goods exclusively available at loco skates
Starting off high with this mushroom blading teeth kind of looks like e.t psychedelic uncle or something about melting away there lovely really interesting to see who else they collaborate with the dates where blade and cup are locked in november 4th to november 6th three day event call up your mates get those
Flights but get enough of you together to get a decent airbnb maybe you can get one with a pool can you get one paul i am definitely going to this one well i’ve got to try and get the money together but i’m definitely going to this one probably you can get your
Winner clash tickets as well tickets dates info is all out there as well right i’ll definitely go into this one as well if i can raise the funds like this is going to be some uh expensive uh a couple of months around then isn’t it look how buzzing dannon and levy are
Jumping off the ceiling like danny actually broke his ankle doing that mary moonez has got some new powerslide next 80s i really like that colorway actually it’s the same thing just don’t do my sights and as i squeeze my feet into and actually polarize my toes i’m all going
All different directions and cross and over each other all that kind of absolute madness which i have done in the past so maybe i will again also check out this little banger in her pro ions that’s good man that’s nice they’ve also got the sway all-star 2000s
Which are a nod to the old team thrones don’t know if they’re the most popular at the moment but razors have got some new skates as well you’ve got the navy cult i’m assuming it’s a purposeful mod back to the raises flat although like part of the soleplate should have been
Black and the frame should have been white guess there’s only so many things you can do with colorways isn’t there jordan williams has done a short promo for these ones definitely go and check it out some rowdy moves in that one and joe diminishes also done a little bit with
The jeff howard skates man so rowdy bits are nervous well definitely going to check them both out people are fairly big on doing what’s been done before aren’t they absolutely milking the nostalgia cow here like get off their mothers talking of nostalgia and i am well into this one
Eulogy are going to be bringing back the eric shrine wheel come on man here’s something super positive gliding camp six days eight skate parks they’ve got it all going on week one is july 18th to the 23rd week two is august 22nd to the 27th these kind of things are absolutely
Superb and like crucial for rollerblades so we could do some more of these actually so the good news is rosie’s is not going anywhere well i mean apart from down in value since 2017 allegedly that is really great news really good to hear bit of a funny way to word it
Though roses is not going anywhere it makes it sound like you’re stagnant which is not what you’re trying to say i imagine but hey they are here to stay phew well i actually didn’t think they were going anywhere anyway but you know they’ve confirmed it hanging in there
Fighting the good fight so on wednesday the 8th of june rosie’s posted up a statement in regard to the news that had been floating around the previous week it got a fair bit of positive reaction as well and a few people making suggestions for them let’s work on the
Cutie please are you trying to bury them rumor has it they’re hemorrhaging money and you want them to bring back the cutie how much money did that make them before new aeon competitor is that big john’s bookies yeah i’d like to put my life savings on the usda on absolutely
Pulverizing the rosie’s cutie yeah absolutely all of it mate if i can find any spare change down the side of the couch this evening i’m going to put more on but not everyone was convinced by their statement let’s break it down in the past week we’ve seen rumors going
Around about the company being on sale and on the edge of being closed what absolute rascal said it was closing that’d be terrible news man not only for like rosie’s employees the pros the ams but also the industry man roshi’s play their part in like bringing people into rollerblading they also offer like
Escape fit that works for some people as well and they like it should be a right stink a lot i don’t want them to disappear we would like to ensure you all that after 70 years of glorious work glorious work team rosie’s 96 97 absolutely glorious julio tom frye renee
Cessa don everett ally and loads more very powerful face the music era roses no argument from me glorious philip albert loving peter schmeichel type glorious they had a super strong aspect and it felt like a real movement they like roses glorious for sure mate monumental man waking up thinking it’s monday it’s sunday
Hype glorious uh however has it actually been 70 years of pure glory i’m not so sure joe atkinson leaving that’s the opposite of glorious martin danning leaving not so glorious a bit of an odd situation as well actually levy van rayne leaving not glorious for rosie’s glorious mesmer julio vallo
Leaving not very glorious roses absolutely glorious and pivotal probably for rollerblading as a whole just my opinion and if you believe these sales figures 2017 to 2020 wasn’t so glorious either so mostly glorious or like 65 35 in favor of glorious i think glorious is just like a weird
Word choice again maybe just like 70 years of sound work 70 years of hard work we would like to ensure you all that after 70 years of hard work we are here to stay rosie’s is not going anywhere that last line’s definitely a little bit ambiguous maybe just like get
Shifted out end on a high night we are here to stay to reiterate good i’m glad they’re not going anywhere man i don’t want to see rollerblading lose another brand but as a consumer and as a massive fan of rollerblading i was really hoping for a more direct stronger rebuttal not everyone was
Convinced people thought it was a non-answer it didn’t address the rumors their point of view was like you can be for sale you can actually even be sold and you can still like go nowhere they didn’t explicitly say we are not for sale it wasn’t really strong enough they
Were kind of like skirting around it just get stuck in there just go check absolute rubbish or release a video something smashing a sail sound and going what a load of tripe man nils head button a sail sign go ahead you’re telling me ilia wouldn’t have done
Something funny with a sales sign come on that would have been absolute gold typically from the mergers and sales that i’ve experienced before you get told either companies being bought or it’s up for sale don’t worry everything’s going to remain the same you’ll keep your job things are continue
As normal then after like a period of review and reconciliation like things are then adjusted briggs had this to say which i’ve also experienced if these sales figures are to be believed i’d welcome the sale or a private equity investor coming in i’d welcome a change of direction if it meant the brand
Surviving it doesn’t have to be negative try something new a new injection of ideas energy new marketing new management more money that’s what it needs look what happened when valo came in that was amazing man people have said it feels like a panicked response it feels like damage control to like stop a
Potential buyer leveraging a better deal out of the thing i mean it kind of also feels like somebody as an individual maybe has taken it very personally like it’s a reflection of them doing a bad job or something like that i mean it could genuinely be to defuse the rumors
But why not come out and be way more concise just go we are not for sale we are here to stay bang like two lines and that is it done i mean the day after they dropped a teaser for bobby’s new skate why why didn’t you just do that a
Real show of strength just come in there say nothing don’t even address it ignore it because you know what if it’s not true why bother even talking about it bang there’s a new skate by the way suck on that it blows my mind bobby’s skate must have been planned like ages ago six
Months maybe even a year ago and you would have had a schedule like it’s gonna release on his birthday so you’ve had that penned in and you think oh yeah shall we uh should we squeeze this other kind of half-hearted not really answering the like rumors response the day before what what
What suck it off mate take a day off go to the beach or something bang drop this game you should have just been like here’s what’s really for sale should have made a video coming out like all sumber light unfortunately yes royce’s is for sale the new road sees
Bobby number like wait there is just so much you could have done in this situation if those rumors are completely untrue nothing to believe there this was a gift it was an absolute gift of a marketing opportunity that’s like somebody coming to me and being like why
Hey tom the rumor that you sit down mate you’re not making any money off this rubbish but then me knowing that i’ve got a video coming of me gun joe atkinson and sam croft at the same time but then like panicking i said nothing and then release that
Guns video on you and tell me like that would have got some serious views like on the opposite side of that and anybody being cautious would be like well actually yeah you know what you can still release the skate because that would have been planned for ages so i
Will just go through those motions anyway they could still be for sale they could still be like in debt and in a little bit of bother what’s also not playing in their favor is the public responses to comments like martina marge like the rosie’s team manager is
Passionate to a fault man she gets in there and she sticks it to people like which i get man and like sometimes i do find that pretty amusing around i can get behind sticking it to some people but the thing is yet when you represent somebody else when you’re kind of
Speaking on behalf of a brand or a company that doesn’t have that image roshi’s is not edgy you can’t then be going around acting edgy because it reflects badly on them again it just makes the whole situation look a bit panicked it all starts out when jay bones says what’s
The rumor you guys are on sale it’s in italian newspapers i mean he could have worded it slightly differently being like oh this newspaper says you’re for sale like are you for sale or not that’s just what i want to know martina strikes back with a little
Bit of sass you paid the subscription to read the full article of a journalist quote marks by the way that’s not a professional journalist provost sashima and sasquatch levels slashy still ducking the point joe bones is back in action so explain the misinformation then because i’m not
Seeing how a sale with a specific number can be misconstrued sticking with the sass attack martinez back in play the subscription and read the full article at least if you trust the source which i won’t at least get the full info before getting an opinion about it little bit
Confusing you say you don’t trust this source of information but you want this guy to pay a journalist who you don’t think is even a journalist and put money in his pocket to read the rest of the like uh article and get more information do more
Research but then you don’t trust it so what’s the point and you’re saying at least read it all and do your research but if that’s wrong that that’s totally pointless just give him the answer jay bones pretty much says that ian from tampa taps in we have
A new entry man we’ve got a new player why does she owe you a full explanation pipe down yeah she probably doesn’t owe him a full explanation but she did engage with the comment to start with and also it might look quite good for rosie’s if she did if she couldn’t help
It herself a little just a little bit more differently like a little bit less sassy you can still be cheeky you can be definitely cheeky just with less sass and then give them the information oh like yeah send him on a wild goose taste like that i’ve been doing it martina’s
Back i’m only pointing out how inconsiderate it is being so strongly opinionated on something that’s not fully researched on you’re on sale it’s in the news without even fully read the news seems a bit much for me without mentioning is on one paper not multiple it’s a tricky
Situation yeah one article has posted this right plus a site with sales figures that’s all the information that is available so the research kind of stops there but you’re you’re expecting him to do more but then in the same pace you’re not giving him the answer he
Wants let’s just agree yeah he’s gone about it in a bad way but you’re not you’re still not giving him the answer you’re the holy grail of research and information about rosie’s really although it’s still only one side so he’s coming to you there’s a bit more back and forth
It all looks like it’s going to spiral completely out of control and descend into chaos but then all of a sudden out of nowhere 1984 arrives racism is present some sort of like mediator almost it’s a little bit long so i try and summarize some of it like he’s
Basically saying he thinks that like martinez actually come across far more aggressive in this interaction he also says that the post is a bit vague and explains nothing about the situation uncertainty he creates confusion and he offers an alternative instead of getting defensive maybe just give an actual
Response because at the moment he just looks like you’re arguing with a customer the ends are pretty much saying he takes a news with a pinch of salt anyway you should walk around with a little blue bag from salt and shakes just take everything a little pinch of salt it’s
Good advice for life and just like everything really after a bit of back and forth rosie’s official comment which i actually think is martina anyway just from a different account this post is for ensure exactly that orders will be fulfilled production is still on and the company it’s not going anywhere
Why didn’t the actual post say that and you’ve still answered the question anyway like is it for sale or not this is not the first time these kind of public interactions have happened i’ve seen it before where they’ve been dropping clown emojis from their potential customers which is like pretty
Hilarious man i definitely laugh when they do that but also you’re not you’re not poundland bandit man it doesn’t really suit your image you may be professional you may be like really broad you know like family friendly you can’t be dropping clown emojis on people what’s interesting about this is roshi’s
Recent move to put a warning in each one of their posts keep the comments respectful hateful unrelated and disrespectful comments won’t be tolerated it’s a little bit ironic to call escape domestic punk 2 because you’ve already been punk before but then have a statement like that mike schmidt
Even commented nothing more punk than censorship again ironically bobby posted asking where the hate was which one do you want it seems his personality is acting like he’s the most hated well i think it’s just that some people are unbothered if you just hide in people’s comments they’re not really gonna learn
Are they they’re just gonna think oh this one person or this brand doesn’t like what i’m saying i’m sure there’s loads of people who agree with me also like on the flip side of it they could actually see it as a game and be like oh right they don’t like this or
I’m going to go full hand trying to get loads of comments and just spam all your stuff because they know it’s like annoying you like it’s much better to give them that freedom of speech let them go on there and then the community react and you’ll see like a far bigger
Reaction of people going like oh that’s our award i have on the word with them decisions like that feed into the narrative that something’s afoot here a recent and topical example of what to do is usd their marketing campaign got so much stick everybody was getting the job
Left like sent i didn’t know where the next comment was coming from what did they do they just plowed on man they just carried on with it they just took it on their chin man and that is the best way to do it like this kind of reaction is making usd look
Brilliant like one thing i was thinking about was the fact that like these articles haven’t come from within rollerblading somebody’s not just made these up we’re talking about like other sources of information one website with figures another website saying that it’s for sale like what is their angle if
It’s not true what is their angle are they just trying to like get people on their page like is rosie’s that important that like oh my god people are going to flood to this pay this guy the euro whatever it is to read the rest of
That article i don’t know but say we take roshi’s as the most trustworthy source which we probably should do in this situation they’ve still not answered the question like the uh article has brought up are you for sale is that is that what’s going on like it
Seems the figures are going down maybe you are in a bit of debt you do need a little bit of help like so what exactly is going on seems like there’s a lot of forward movement with other brands in terms of like marketing growth and just generally what they’re
Doing there’s a lot of noise around them until this release and even considering this release there’s not been that much noise from races either man so this like this brings up these questions what’s going on they didn’t really have a presence at the blading cup obviously
Nils was there but apart from that it felt a little bit empty they didn’t really have a presence at fees or nl it does seem a little bit stagnant or like something is going on so you can’t blame people for like you know wondering is there something going on i really hope
They’re not in trouble and this skate was like an attempt to like you know things aren’t a better course oh my goodness why it’s not the house is on fire what we’re gonna do i don’t know wood puts out fire doesn’t it yeah well give me that kind of links
Oh that didn’t work tell the flames they can’t be hot i do not want rollerblading to lose your brand i understand the importance of having all different types of brands because that’s going to bring in all different types of people it’s good for marketing it like extends our reach all
This kind of things i’m not i’m not naive enough to believe it yeah just get rid of them or i didn’t like they did without skate yeah get rid of them man i only want there to be one brand or i only want there to be two brands like
Totally that’s so stupid but yeah believe what you want watch Robbie pitts’s new edit is absolutely fantastic man this first trick is unbelievable proper bonkers got me straight away i was like oh my god what is going on this is insane it’s called skate hard 3 000. that’s such a good name really good editing in there it’s like a
Video game kind of similar to fool sparrow you know there’s really bright colors lots of action going on lots of crazy fast cuts really creative tricks i love the way that robbie skates really like rollerblade centric tricks really focusing in on what the blades can do
What your body can do with the blades on i absolutely love it man i think it’s just another smasher exactly like full spiral shorter than full spiral this time which is a shame i really wish it was like a little bit longer but i mean hopefully there’s more projects like
This to come soon definitely go and see this one i reckon this is probably my favorite video actually chance of rain four i’m not even on the screen for this one because i don’t want to ruin any of it from the vx god carter leblanc and derek brown
Did a bit of filming and editing as well oh my goodness this is just so good it’s actually a little bit of a hybrid video because there’s rollerblading and skateboarding you’ve got neil christensen in there you’ve got james truett carla blanc josiah billy oh my goodness dustin spangler derek brown
Alex sam’s avery christensen it is off the scale it is off the ricky tick man me chatting about it is not gonna do it the justice it deserves go and watch the film man it’s just got this beautiful feeling to it feels really raw feels really close to the action feels like a
Really good like core rollerblading and skateboarding video it’s almost an hour and 15 minutes long but it is worth booking out the time or maybe just watch it in chunks but like better to watch the whole thing in one go how often do you get an hour and 15 minute long
Rollerblading video these days very rare man and i think that also plays into that like warm kind of familiar feeling of like when rollerblading videos used to be this long back in the day and they were really something special the skating is so good as well really inspiring so much
Creativity in there so much style just like hammy numbers as well there’s some ridiculous skating with chains and all sorts listen up on jump sheet podcast was the champ mikhail vitseman like he’s a good lad isn’t he he’s a top lad he’s got his head screwed on go and
Watch his interview and listen to what he’s saying he knows what he’s talking about it’s really good to like hear somebody have like quite a clear vision clear idea of what they want to do be so level headed and just be like bang up for skating and plus is really good and
That’s your lot thank you so much to my patreons i really really appreciate your support your names are up on the screen there now if you want to join them there’s a link below in the description here’s another video you can watch if you enjoyed this like comment subscribe
All that good stuff it really helps me out and i am see you again pretty soon i reckon spotty dog
