You’ve got it , Bro!!! Finally someone who tells true things and not only marketing spots. Thanks man!!!

I like being able to "hockey stop" on 125mm wheels. I can't do that with a lowcut boot. I also have zero problems doing crossovers either forward or backward in my hybrid boot. I grew up on hockey skates though so that might explain why I'm comfortable with a higher cut boot. I find the high boot on 125mm wheels to be a great mix of smooth rolling speed and stopping power. Hard to wear speed skates around town when stopping is such a slow process. Hybrids can be a great commuter skate in that regard.

Hi :) I guess having a hockey background would make it less of an issue, as your technique might already be adapted for the limitations of a higher boot. However, I’d always say, if you can’t control a low cut skate, you sure shouldn’t be on 125mm wheels, as that’s beyond your ankle strengths capacities :)

Im on Victors side. It's more depending on the skating style and Place. Your example Sounds somehow like semi skins will be the inbetween before reaching low cut skates. But some people will just Use semi speed skates for the rest of their life for better urban skating Performance while still having a better speed Performance than on a Standard boot.

I’d say semi speedskate is a great choice for urban/fitness skating becos it provides support and much lighter than slalom skates. Like myself I usually took an hour bus to my starting point and skate with fds for 4+hours. Also the low cuff is more manoeuvrable with long frames + jumping over obstacles with ankle protection and much stable then on speedboots. It’s not good for pro speed skating but a good pair of boots for general users +the boots are inexpensive, I got 2 semi race 3 cos it’s perfect fit for wide asian feet, and flying eagle veloce (more comfort than bont but it’s 30%heavier + narrower toebox) 195mm provides much better power transfer and seems stiffer/stable skating at 20-25+kmh (Skate experience ~3 years, mostly on slalom/urban skating/self-taught)

I wish PLANERTS with the Kangaroo boot twere still around. That's what I used back in the 60s & early 70s for nastalgic reasons if any.

For ultra commuting ; those hybrid are a niche! Without lacing it to the top you end up with a very confortable & maniable carbon boot that can stay on your feet all day long where the low cut will start killing the ankle bone after couple hours. It's not as perfect as a regular spped boot but it's the best solution I ve found for long distance skating on the road . Confort and security (powerslides and soul slide for emergency braking are ok with a semi race but not with a low cut)

I've been debating this very topic as I look to upgrade my marathon setup. I have a 110mm Rollerblade skate with a removable cuff, which I take off because it is plastic and cumbersome. I am comfortable with a low cuff boot and I'm looking to upgrade my performance. But my focus is speed, not distance. Wonder if that makes a difference?

Most people want more ankle support than speed skates offer, the semi race, R4/R6, Arise are all super popular for a reason - light, comfortable and fast (compared to anything except racing skates). If you have no intention of getting into speed skating they are perfect!

nice video, just what i needed to see to decide on buying skates like these

Depends on what you want to do with them. I think the mistake both Bont and Rollerblade (Revv Boa) made with these variants is only having them in 195mm separation, which limits the market that will buy. I like them because they are more like hockey boots and urban boots, but you can also go long distances with big wheels over debris on the paths more easily. These boots give you a lot more skating variety and are higher quality than most urban skates. You can also remove the upper buckle or not tighten it as much as your ankle strength develops. This will give you a lot more flexibility and range of motion. I would say the only downside of these (besides being only 195mm) is the weight. But let's face it, most of us are not racers and don't really care about it that much. And if you want to shed some weight in an area that makes it hard to pick up your feet, you can get lighter frames, such as Atom Striker Mark II or the EO M2 Carbons. You can also get these frames in shorter variants for more agility.

Love you. Found right answer at right time. I have been fitness skating for a while with 3x110 and thinking about speed skating 3x125. Went through countless number of google/youtube contents and still in doubt. Thanks for your opinion !!! Now what I worrying is sizing. I got extreme WIDE feet. Proper feet length will not fit width well, and proper width will not fit feet length too 😂. Since order via online, I am not sure if the skate will fit me 😢 Edit: Buying online is like gamble on luck because low cut speed skate is carbon fibre, they will not stretch over time like normal shoes 😂

Could you recommend a good, first, affordable pair of speed skates, to get in to the sport? What about the Powerslide Final 110?

I'm new and using high skates and I learned it on those. I want to do marathon and was looking into the powerslide R2. But these are semi? What 'brand' is a better option?

I got Rollerblade E2 and use them around the city and they are amazing. I put urban frame on them and they works so great. I will Most likely never go back again.

Hi, I wanted to buy semi-speed roller: the Powerslide Final 110 that I found cheap...I think that the boot is quite low and that it is not in carbon so flexible... What would you advise me knowing that I don't want to put 600euros in it? Thank you

That’s crazy, I see hockey players perform crossovers all day long in hockey skates on the ice rink and on the roller rink

This an interesting video, and interesting commentary. I've been considering this issue myself, having never had a low cut boot. What I'm still not clear on is what Viktor would recommend for someone who interested in speed *and* distance, but where distance trumps speed? There are a lot of comments here about ankles getting tired on longer skates. I can see that, plus worries about emergency maneuvers and stopping. What is a good choice for someone with those concerns? In my case, I'm a very experienced skater but coming back to it after a 15 year hiatus, so I'm coming from a mid cuff boot with 84mm wheels and an 11.5" wheelbase. I've also got some ancient Bont boots that are similar in height to the semi speed, mounting on a five wheel frame with 80mm wheels (13.5" wheelbase). The Bont boots are oddly supportive, which I have to attribute to the heat molding. So in my case there is the additional concern of taking on the larger wheels at the same time as a low cut boot. Does Viktor have any recommendations for someone like me? Is jumping to a low boot reasonable? I also have ankle bones that protrude, or thin ankles above the ankle bone, whichever way you want to look at it, so that's also attractive from the heat molding point of view.

Thanks a lot for the info. I bought the e2 110 from rollerblade recently. Curious if you have thoughts on that one since the cuff can be removed to transform it into a low cut speed skate. I tried both modes and found that the comfort the cuff gives (provided one doesn't make it tight like we'd be used to in casual skates) is really great for skate sessions that are an hour. Wondering if this model would be good for others to adopt.

Hi Victor, I understand your perspective(s) and agree you do raise some very valid points. However, I believe they are over generalizations and geared more for the masses. Different people have different physiologies, with some being more amenable to a semi-race setup. For me, neither a true speed skate nor semi-race skate will work. Rather, I require a hybrid between the two that unfortunately doesn't exist. My ankles are too narrow...so narrow that I couldn't conform the PS Wind and XXX skates enough to provide sufficient support...3/4 inch wide gaps were present on both sides of the ankle (both were returned). Few companies make semi-race skates, and those that do tend to be very uncomfortable for the reasons you mention (I returned them too), on top of not having the navicular bone cut-outs for comfort. Having higher support on the inner side, lower on the outer side, and narrow ankle support, would be perfect. Custom boots are on option, but none of the custom boot suppliers that have these options cater to the U.S. (have to travel to Germany...I asked), or they do cater to the U.S., but won't provide this level of customization (I asked). Until these problems are solved, I'll stick with my PS Grand Prix Trinity skates.

@@22ryanoc Hi Ryan, the Grand Prix Trinity skates, quite simply are the best skates I have ever owned after over 30+ years of skating. So much so that I bought a second pair that's still in the box if and when my first pair need to be replaced. I get race-boot like performance and solid unworldly ankle support, in a fairly light package. Re 125mm wheels, they are very smooth rolling, very stable, and the bumps in the road are almost not noticeable compared to smaller wheels. But, unless you are expert with 110mm wheels already, you may find them to be challenging. Starting and stopping are more difficult and slower, tight turns are much more difficult too, and they're a little more difficult with double push unless you're taller than 5'9". Said another way, 125mm are not beginner friendly. But, I have both 125mm and 110mm wheels on separate fit-for-purpose Trinity frames and I simply swap them out depending upon the trail. 125mm for long distances, and 110mm for shorter, tighter, and/or really hilly trails. Thus, I get the best of both worlds. Re less than perfect fit, that will only cause problems for you now which will get worse as the liners wear down. You'll be best served getting skates that are tight, and heat moldable, and using EZ-Fit booties or a second pair of socks to fill any void that develops. Hope that is helpful.

How about the 'higher' racing boots (PS R4s en Luigiano Strut for example)? They seem to give you freedom of movement and still support some more support for the ankles, especially for the longer skating session. or do you see that differently?

@justmy-profilename

3 жыл бұрын

Exactly, I have a pair of Powerslide R4, and in their favor is: * Boot is made of leather, you can flex a bit sideways even if it's completely tightened * You can leave the upper fastener quite loose if you want even more sideway flexibility * Their medium height is well suited for long distances without frequently training for long distances * They support my already damaged cruciate ligament at my ankle, people that have had similiar accidents (e.g. from.skiing) are quite frequent * They are shipped with 3×110mm wheels, which is much easier when coming from ≤ 100 mm, but they allow the transition to 3×125mm in the same frame. And of course are compatible with any other trinity frame, e.g. 4×110mm ones. * And last but not least, they are quite affordable compared to "real" speed skates, nothing is worse than buying an expensive real speed skate, and then rarely using it because it is to demanding. That is actually the worst habit people frequently develop, not using their expensive sports gear often enough 🙈

Does this just apply to boots that are like a speed boot but where the boot comes up over the ankle, or does it also apply to skates that are marketed as marathon skates like the Seba Marathon that have a cuff like a fitness skate that only comes partway up the ankle? I've heard some argue that having that bit of ankle support from the cuff makes skating long distance less tiring, but it seems to me like they are significantly heavier and bulkier than speed boots, which seems like it would cancel out some of the benefits in that department. Personally, I've skated 45 miles in my custom speed skates and didn't have any trouble with ankle endurance.

All your arguments are refuted by short track speed skates. Short track speed skates have a similar high cuff to semi-speed skates, and yet this is the one skating discipline in which crossovers are the most critical, in fact where almost all the power is generated. Short track speed skaters manage to go 50kph on a standard hockey rink. Please consider this and post a correction.

you should probably define semi better or show the difference. I raced for years and used verducci and Simmons. verducci was better for me. it went over my ankle bone...is that a semi? it was fine and did race at a high level, just a long time ago.

This seems to be targeted for professional/competitive skaters.

I do nor agree. I will not buy speedskates, when i am not some racing. I skate more than a standard skate, so what is your suggestion for guys, who want to skate faster and longer than with fitness skates, but do not want to race to invest more than 800 euros for a speeskate...

Kinda agree with ur point on why not to use semi skates.. BUT it does also depend on what people want to run, if its for speed or if its for distance. if people run because of speed in short distance / marathon distance i do recommend using low cuffs with the right wheel size.. But for longer distancses +50Km i do recommend Semi skates, because of the support, because most people do get tired and therefor exstra support would be good to have to substain the stability in their feet/ancles. I been using Bont Semi Speedskates in over 10y, i run long distances 295(km) and i must say, my feet are way more tired when using low cuffs when running those distances, never going back to low cuff.. Unless its for short distance.

You don't mention skaterlevel, wheelsize or even mention where to ride those low cut matchlevel (pro)skates, track trail ring ,,,,, I can almost guarantee that a beginner or lower level skater stops within ten meters and never uses with those skates again!

Hi dude. The purpose of this video is to communicate that one should avoid semi-speed skates. I'm by no means against fitness skates, which is, and should be the first choice of any newcomer to the sport :)

@@thorupviktor I took time to watch your video again and (partly) my bad! With semi-speed skates I understand also low cut types like my own produktion level that are not like custom made ones. That said I still think (and hear/read) that the more untrained skaters that went from fitness types straith to speed skates often give up quite soon, but as an more experienced amateur level skater I understand your point!

Yes, obviously dedicated speed skates are better in all aspects… but also, you’re coming across as a rollerblade fanboy… unfair to put other, better brands down, though

I got the rollerblades with the cuffs that come off. They're good. I liked that my ankles got strong slowly and was ready for the lowcut boot. I wish they werent 125mm wheels though. Those arent necessary.
