This setup BREATHES FIRE: the NN Dragon frame (5x80mm) on the FR1 Red | Rollerblading

Спорт

I had the chance to buy some secondhand, but unused NN Dragon frames. I took that chance. I mounted them on FR1 skates and yes: I had Red Dragons.
This is not my first NN Frame: • Enter The Ronins: firs...
It’s a beautiful setup and to introduce it to the world, I went stair bashing and ramp riding with it.
Filmed at Belgium's biggest skatepark: Blaarmeersen (BLM), Ghent.

    So so beautiful! I have been thinking of getting the dragon frames and wheels for a few months now. I'm between jobs at the moment so when I start earning again, this will be the first thing I treat myself to. I have black FR1's so will be the same setup but not as pretty as the red! Nice to have something to look forward to. Thanks for making this, nice to see you in front of the camera and also skating, really enjoying your content.

    Thanks! In my local skateshop, they really went the extra mile to provide a nice boot in the right size. They even changed the original red laces to white ones 'because that would look better with white wheels'. Really appreciate that kind of service. The only pity is that I didn't have enough time the last couple of weeks to ride these beauties as often as I wanted to. 😅

    @@JungleSkater The original Dragon 80X and Dragon+ are similar, but different. The Dragon is a 5x80 frame (big fun), the Dragon+ has a 90-80-80-80-90 configuration (even bigger fun). The big front and back wheel provide some extra speed and stability. I've got the Trinity version of the Dragon+, so that means a low ride-height too. Love that frame. But some people don't like mixed frames with different wheel sizes. If you want to keep it simple, just go for the regular Dragon.

    @@WheelyArt Proof that there’s no size fits all. 😄 For me, a 4x80 is too short. I changed my two 4x80 setups with 3x125, and I used my trinity 4x80 to install an iceblade on my old fitness skates. The 4x90 was an unexpected revelation. What didn’t you like about the 4x90? Its length? I ask because the wheelbase of a 5x80 is 50mm longer than a 4x90.

    Well, erm, I'm not rich, but I like to spend _all_ my money on inline skates rather than anything else. 🤦‍♂ Okay, I admit: I've had an extremely busy year, often working every weekend months on end, and the urge to spend the extra money I earned on rollerblades was overwhelming. (Making skating videos also doesn't help to keep myself in check.) But still: it's a choice. I rarely buy new shoes or clothes, our television is thirteen years old and my car has a couple of very ugly scratches that I don't care to repair. When we go out for dinner and I receive the bill, I often think: damn, this costs me half a pair of skates. That's the mindset I've got: I measure everything I earn and spend in skates. Last week, our dishwasher broke down and we had to replace it: I could've bought a nice setup for that money... I live in Flanders and everybody's crazy about cycling here. But a decent race bike often costs several thousands of euros. When I see those people on their expensive bikes, I pity them: once a week, they're riding around on a vehicle that's worth twenty great skating setups. 😄
