USD Skates took a team featuring Mery Muñoz, Armelle Tisler, Patrycja Najda, Lilou Fumery, Léo Fumery, and Carla Martin on a trip around Barcelona, in a new video ‘EQT.’ The video was filmed by Rafael Lopez Maldonado, Mery Muñoz and Xavi Eguino, and edited by Maldonado.
“The new USD Aeon EQT 60 stands for Equity. This is a new model specifically released to support and fund the female riders in our team,” shared the brand. “The Aeon EQT is available in our fullest size range to be accessible to all riders regardless of gender, age or ability. This new model is a continuation on from our last moves to support the female skate scene, after our initial collaboration with the Bladies brand.”
“USD is now releasing the ‘EQT’ to acknowledge and address the lack of opportunities for female riders in the blading community and allow them to have a more active role within it. Equity stands for fairness and justice for a segment of the blade community that has long been overlooked and under-supported, but can now be supported by the whole community through this skate. We hope this can be the first of many future models released to support the female riders of the brand,” the added. “The royalties of this model will go directly towards funding the invaluable work of all USD’s female riders.”
