These latest aggressive rollerblades are named after the mysterious roller whose YouTube videos have made him a skating legend. 

Eisler’s latest video features him showing off his new set of rollerbladesthe Carbon Free Richie Eisler IIIs featuring a “a 76mm flat frame that offers the perfect balance between a premium roll and a perfectly functional, grindable setup”on the streets of Vancouver, Canada. 

The opening grind he attempts is something straight out of Jet Set Radio.
