Unlike most people who reviews the skate within a week. I've took the time to skate these, which were for about a four months. Great amount of time to break in the skate. Has a good deal of flex enought. Slides well on anything, bit heavy possibly on the count of the og frame and linear. Took some time getting use to, heavy keeps you grounded and planted on your tricks. Only flaw is that it'd be nice to lace it up a couple of knots higher. Buckle comes a little loose. Other than that works well nothing like a solid look to go along with a solid skate!

It only took me one glance at these blades to know i wanted them! The SSM Jon Bolino's don't disappoint , once people see you riding these, they will know your no one to f*ck with! If your look is all black, then these here are for you, seek no more. Get that phone and hit up the RW guys, they are worth it!!

First I just wanna thank RW for the awesome hook up... yall came through better than any other shop... Thanks RW!!! Well I'm stoked with the SSM skates. I was rolling around on Valos (which I do love) and USD carbon 2s and I will say that I won't go back to carbons... Like the dude says in "take your time" well watch it and that is how I feel about carbons haha. The SSM have yet to fail me when trying new tricks... Solid skate and feel great all around... You can definitely feel more confident about trying new tricks in SSM. The combination of CO frames and SSM boots are a great match. SSM soul plate is still blowing my mind as I skate these rough ledges here in Montana and still like new. The performance in SSM is absolutely thee best I have skated in years. I did do a bit extra toe cut off the top part as I'm skating a 6-7 shell with a size 9 trust spec ops (amazing) liner. I will say this that I won't be needing to buy another boot for a long time as I will be just getting new parts as I need them... This is a well made skate and glade to see Jon Jon get his first pro boot. If you love Valos and are sketched out about trying something new mos def give SSM a chance. You'll be amazed!!!
