‪@austinpaz‬  is a respected  aggressive skater (think grinds, spins, stunts on rollerblades) so naturally I thought it would be fun to test out a new skate together. The Iqon ACT

Instead of skating them somewhere safe or smooth, we took them straight into downtown Manhattan, real life scenarios. Along the way, Austin shares some tips on how to bash stairs and jump over obstacles.

From the Courthouse to Police Plaza and the Brooklyn Banks, this day was super fun.
Stick around till the end to see Austin’s kryptonite and both of our honest first impressions after skating the Iqon ACT for the first time.
